i Q^^REft^wAa^"% * --,' JM r _____????,ii^?5 Make Only Good Tobacco Mr. Editor: Will you please give me space to talk just a little to the tobacco farmer? There has been so much written about organization, pooling, cutting the crop, etc., until the planters have gotten so confused they do not know what to do. My advice is to cut the crop at ieast s one-third, as advised to do, and then look closely after their crop and try to make some good tobacco. Two? thirds of a crop well cultivated and suckered out will bring good money at paying prices to the farmer. I be^B lieve common tobacco will sell even Bk lower next season and will continue to 9| do so until something is done for the relief on the $1.96 per pound foreign F duty on tobacco to European countries. K But there is a strong demand now for W good tobacco. The best grades are selling now at $60.00 to $80.00 on nearly every market where there is any good tobacco sold. Danville, Va.. has had a good crop and last week sold a million pounas ox bouacoofaki $26.30 average and the week before | over a miljion dollars worth at $28.53 average. Mebane, N. C., has had a good crop and has averaged $30.00 for the entire season. j Tobacco is not dead and the fanner who goes at it in a business way and makes a gocd crop will realize good K money at paying "prices, k Yours very truly, J. R. HUTCHINGS. ft Carthage, N. C., Feb. 23, 1921. B Notes From Union High School ??? The last few meetings of the Francis Marion Literary society have gH shown a marked improvement in the hK quality of work done. , This improveSnBinent is especially manifested in readM&r ings and essays. New officers for the WBR second term were elected recently and continued improvement is hoped for. For some time the high school girls V have had a basket ball team organized.
