The tobacco growers of North Carolina, in the old tobacco belt of that State, as well as the growers in Virginia and Kentucky, it is said, do not have to crowd their tobacco at the warehouses for sale in the busy season. They keep the leaf pecked away in the ample stor?; houses, or pack rooms, that they have provided for that purpose and they sell When they get "good and reaay." That is the way that the farmers must do here if they would -v be in position to make money out of the crop regardless of the rush season when it is all thrown <opsyturvey on the warehouse floors in any kind of style. In order to be able to meet this condition the farm crs must save the money and build the houses they need for taking cure of the crop at home until it is the right time to place it on the market. 1 ?o????
