Cowboys & Tobacco

[John Barleycorn]

Any Tobacco farmers out there?  last year I tried growing some seeds I bought on line.  Well they sprouted, but never got bigger than an inch and a half before eventually wilting and dieing. I have ordered a few more packets gonna try soil instead of the peat moss pellets, any tips. JB

I used to drink to excess, too.  Not an alcoholic, just a plain old garden variety drunk.  Gave that up in '74. 

Quitting tobacco was much harder.

I'm a social drinker,you guys get a social goin let me know.
actually ain't had a snort in 30 years,but that could change any day now

[Marshal Will Wingam]

In the years before I quit I tried everything I could find. 

I finally stumbled on the secret: QUIT!!  Just stop and tell yourself you're stronger than any damned weed.  Worked for me.

It was a real bitch for a couple of weeks, but it worked!

I understand quitting weed is worse than tobacco.

all I've ever raised was Soybeans and wheat,  I've understood from several people that the Tobacco is a tough crop to grow,  I think I heard Tensleep say once he'd been around Tobacco raising, he might have some ideas for you to use.
