Excerpt from Studies on the Tobacco Crop of Connecticut Wrapper leaf tobacco, the only type of leaf raised in this state, is our largest cash crop. The government crop report for 1912 shows that tobacco was grown on 17,500 acres in Connecticut, that the yield was over twenty-nine million seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds and that the value on the farm was more than seven million one hundred thousand dollars, exceeding that of all cereals grown in Connecticut, of all the timothy and clover, and more than half as large as that of all the forage crops. This Station has been called upon to help growers in such ways as it could to improve the quality, increase the quantity and decrease the cost of growing the crop. The results of this work have been printed from time to time during the last twenty years, but the demand from within and without the state has exhausted the supply of bulletins and reports on the subject. As the call for them still continues, the following summary of our results has been prepared, with references to our original reports which can be found in libraries if more detailed study of any topic is desired and also to the valuable work which has been done elsewhere on tobacco of the cigar-wrapper type but which cannot be adequately described within the limits alloted to this bulletin.

Excerpt from Physiological Studies of Connecticut Leaf Tobacco Soil, climate, rich and uniform manuring, careful curing and proper fermenting must be combined in order to yield a commercial product of superior quality. The value of tobacco depends probably more largely upon its quality than is the case with any other farm product.

Excerpt from Tobacco Growing in the Connecticut River Valley Tobacco has been grown in the Connecticut valley since about 1840, and while the crop has had its ups and downs it may be said to have steadily increased in acreage since that time. The past fifteen years have seen by far the greatest percentage of increase, and the end is not yet. Every grower is growing all the tobacco that he can hang in his curing sheds, and so new sheds are the very best indication of an increase in acreage. The increase Of 1915 over the 1914 acreage was around 25 per cent. This crop is by far the most important money crop grown in this section, and represents extensive and intensive agriculture of the highest order. The rapid increase of the past fifteen or twenty years may be explained by improved machinery, more abundant help, and, most important of all, the fact that in recent years the crop has brought prices that enable the grower to make expenses and have something left over for his labor and as a profit for his Operations. The successful tobacco grower is a specialist, as no crop grown calls for more scientific knowledge or the application of more common sense. In the growing, harvesting and curing of the crop the grower has to know something of practical chemistry, physics and biology.

Excerpt from Tobacco Substation at Windsor: Report for 1936 This, the fifteenth annual report of the Tobacco Substation, records the progress Of investigations on fertilization, cultural Operations and control of insects and diseases of the tobacco crop. Two types of investigations are always in progress at this Station. The first comprises empirical tests with exact measurements Of results which are immediately applicable in commercial practice. Such, for instance, are the tests Of different insecticides for the control of flea beetles as recorded in this bulletin. The second type includes more fundamental studies, the results of which are usually not directly applicable to commercial tobacco growing but are necessary for an understanding and intelligent conduct Of the more practical tests Of the first type. Into this group come the studies on the anatomy of the tobacco leaf. Most of our projects include both practical tests and fundamental investigations. The latter are usually more time-consuming and perhaps more important, although less is published about them. They may lead to more extensive changes in practice than the empirical tests. There is need, however, for both types in any well-rounded program planned for the improvement of Connecticut Valley tobacco.

Excerpt from Insect Pests of Growing Tobacco in Connecticut Insects are characterized as small animals having six legs in some period of their existence. Many of them go through four stages before their development is complete. The usual life cycle includes the egg, the larva, (caterpillar, maggot, worm grub) the pupa, and finally, the adult. In some forms of insect life the pupa stage is omitted. From the standpoint of the economic entomologist, insects may be divided into two groups: (1) Those that chew the tissues and (2) those that pierce the plant and suck the sap. The members of the first group have biting mouth parts and injure foliage by actually cutting Off small pieces of plant tissue and swallowing them. Obviously this class may be controlled by placing a stomach poison on the leaves so that it will be taken into the digestive system. It follows logically that insects of the second group must be held in check through some other kind of agency, since their food comes from within the plant. Hence the development of contact insecticides which kill by actual contact with the body. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Tobacco Breeding in Connecticut Tobacco is a naturally close pollinated plant, although inter crossing through the agency of insects is probably somewhat frequent. Observations on the earlier blossoms of the flower head have convinced the writers that in many cases, at least, fertilization of the pistil has taken place before the blossom opens. In the later flowers the chances of intercrossing are much greater, as the blossom often opens before fertilization has been accomplished. It is evident that, as tobacco is a naturally close-fertilized plant, it must be vigorous under self fertilization, but some data on actual controlled inbreeding are given to further substantiate this belief. Darwin, in his classical experiments on inbreeding and cross breeding, found some types which were very vigorous when continually self-fertilized. Garner (1912) reports that a number of types have been inbred under bags for six or eight years by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture without any observable change in vigor or growth habit. A certain strain of our present Connecticut Cuban shade type, now grown on one of our large plantations, was inbred for a period of five years (1903-1908) by saving seed from individual plants under a paper bag. Since that time seed has been saved from desirable plants under cloth tent, the chances, however, seeming very small that seed so produced will be cross-fertilized. Instead of showing a loss of vigor due to self-fertilization, this type seems more Vigorous than in the early years of its introduction. The Sumatra type, which has been used as one of our parent varieties, has been inbred for a period of seven years, without giving any evidence of accumulated evil effects of inbreeding.

Excerpt from Connecticut and Tobacco: A Chapter in America's Industrial Growth The leaf area of a fully matured cigar-tobacco plant measures an average 25 square feet. Any of these types could provide the leaf components of a cigar. These are the core or filler that supplies the flavor and aroma, the heavier, elastic binder that shapes and holds the bunched filler, and the wrapper or cover of the cigar. For the past half century and longer, however, filler, binder, and wrapper types have been separately developed to sup ply the specific leaves required for cigars.
