That is approx imate )y the quantity removed by a w heat crop.

Tobacco is smoked and chewed in English, prisons nevertheless but must of it is smuggled in. Only long-term convicts who have won tho privilege by good behavior over a period of years are permit-1 ted to have .tobacco. The others get it somehow If they can and treasure It so hishly that an inch of a plug tobacco is as good as money; better, in fact, fur money is not worth much to a prisoner until it can be converted into tobacco. Even If he does not use the weed himself, he tries to get it, for tobacco is the currency of.the convict community. When cards are played for hljrh stakes in an English prison the dukes are bits of tobacco.
