Harvestlnf Tobacco
C. E. Cook, D. F. Gentry, Grey
Court; J. W. Tinsley, Trinity Ridge
Community and Mack Abercrombie,
colored, Fountain Inn, are in the
midst of harvesting their Turkish
toibacco. These, farmers are doing a
satisfactory job so far.
Several people have been asking
during the year about growing Tur
kish tobacco next year. Would sug
gest those farmers who are interested
in this type of tobacco to visit the
armers named above to observe har
vesting and handling tobacco.
So far, there is no tobacco acreage
allotment in this state on Turkish to
bacco, but it has been necessary for
a farmer to have a tobacco contract
with the Turkish tobacco markets ih
order to be able to sell their tobac
co. Other types of tobacco grown in
this state are under tobacco acreage
allotment.
Approximately two acreas with the
four farmers is all the Turkish tobac
co growing for the first time in Lau
rens County. Much labor is required
to harvest the tobacco and during
the harvesting period is a good time
to decide if you have the labor for
producing this extra cash crop. The
Turkish tobacco market opens in
Anderson, S. C., the first week in
August.
