Preparation of a Tobacco Seed Bed
Early and vigorous tobacco plants are essential for good yields. South Georgia beds should be sown between December 25 and January 15, with February 1 as a latest option. Choose a well drained, friable land near a stream, sheltered from cold winds by woods to the north. The bed size is 200 yards square per five acres, preferably not over 12 feet wide. Burn the ground to destroy weeds, break to 4–5 inches, apply fertilizer, mix well, and rake to a smooth surface. Sow about one tablespoon per 100 square yards, divided crosswise, and scatter seed with road dust or ashes. Press with a roller or by trampling, stake with poles, and form wind and water barriers. Cover with tobacco canvass raised 10–12 inches to retain heat and moisture and protect from insects and frost.
