Bui Limes j ami conditions are never the same for any great length of time, and as the cotton acreage will t?e forcibly and greatly reduced next year, tobacco seems to be the best understood cash crop ror the masses of the farmers Man}' farmers however made go tl profile on tobacco , this year, That proves there Is monoy In tobacco. I ? is thought that every farmer, largo and Mual!, should certainly try limite I acreages of tobacco during 1921. The j banks*, supply merchants, laud own era, und all bust nose men should ad? vocate tobacco for the coming year. Nearly every farmer Knows something, and hundreds are experienced tobac? co gi wiis ort u profitable scale. Tin- annual free distribution of to? bacco ecod is of more importance this fall than ever before. n< rotpfore frfooro Brothers and other lessees of the Farmers' Tobacco warehouse com-] pony building have supplied tho Bum tor Chamber of Commerce with all] the seed necessary for free distribu? tion because the buying of tobacco bced In small Quantities is hot only very expensive but tho majority of to l*ac.eo growers know not where to! .?roer teed, and will not bother to or? der s? for preparing and planting their lubacco beils which are pointed during December and January, most of the beds being plante.1 in Decem? ber.
