Brady official grows his own tobacco in Texas
Dallas Adams city electrician in Brady Texas turned six tobacco plants sent from North Carolina into a small field project. The plants grew from 8 inches to about seven feet with rain and nitrate. He cured bottom leaves on a clothes line and plans to roll his own Golden Dollar cigaret tobacco after drying. Relatives in Willow Springs North Carolina farm 25 acres from one ounce of seed and Adams aims to plant in hot beds next January. He offers seed to neighbors in Brady who want to try it.
