Tobacco curing in Java. Experiments were carried out in drier, heated by a wood stove and aerated by a horizontal electric-fan. In spite of the provisional plant, it has been shown that if the temperature and moisture are well regulated in the interior of the drier the curing proceeds normally and the flexibility of the leaf is maintained to the end; the chief condition of success appeard to be the hermetic closing of the drying shed. It was found that the air could be kept moist by passing it through a series of pieces of sufficiently thick cloth continu ously steeped in water; sprayers gave no results. The experi ments will be repeated in a more scientific manner discover whether it is possible to regulate the process of tobacco curing.
