customer. Having made his choice,
he will offer his tobacco for sale
and, should he not be satisfied wi'h
the price he is offered, he is at
liberty to tJiJce his wares else
where.
The chief area of tobacco cul
tivation, ;in particular the Vir
ginian variety, lies in the Ma
dras Province more or less in the
coastal region, starting about 200
miles north of Madras City and
etending as far as the Kistna river
Then there is a gap, and cultiva
tion is taken up again in the re
gion of the Godavari river, some
hundred miles to the north. Thus
there are two districts, and in
each the Company has a redrying
factory and a number of outlying
leaf buying depots. Chirala, the
headquarters of the Company, lies
on the main line from Madras to
Calcutta, about seven hours jour
ney from Madras, and has the
added advantage of being only
four miles from the sea.
The Company buys, in the main
four different types of tobacco;
flue-cured and sun-cured Virgin
ian. White Burley, which is sun-
cured, and the Natu, or country
type, which is also sun cured.
Whatever the type, the routine is
.nuch the same — the ryot, af
ter roughly grading, according to
colour, brings his cured leaf in
sales to on the Company's depots,
where the Branch Manager in
spects and prices it. The tobacco
that is purchased is processed iu
the depot prior to being sliipped
0 a redrying plant.
Visits To Farms
Kommur was not one of the
larger depots, but it brought on
the average six to seven million
pounds in a normal season. One of
the jobs of the Branch Manager
vas to visit the farmers in his
irea in order to maintain per
sonal contact with them and to
give his advice when required. I
requently went along on these
rips.
Not only were there routine vis-
Is. but whenever a ryot built a
lew curing barn word was sent to
us accompanied by a request to
Utend the opening. Upon arrival
It the new barn we would be
greeted by the owner bearing mai
ls (garlands somewhat like the
lawaiian lei) which he would
place around our necks. We might,

ducted to a seat in a pandal (»i

middle with the first blow so that
the milk flowed freely over the

that year. Unfortunately, I had
acquired the reputation of being
an excellent breaker of coconuts,
and so 1 was generally asked to
assay. As luck would have it, only
once did I fail to break the coco
nut in the hoped-for manner with
the first attempt. However. I was
always nervous and feared that I
might not succeed.
The buying season ended in
June at the close of the native
tobacco season. During this off
season, just before the rains,, we
were usually po.sted to Chirala
where my hu.sband worked in the
redrying factory until Kommur
was again accessible. This move
entailed packing all our goods and
sending them into Chirala.
There were compensations, how
ever, for the Company had for
the use of its staff a Club and
library, two tennis courts and a
badminton court. At the beach,
four miles from the factory, an
other Club was maintained. Here
there was a seemingly endless
stretch of sand and excellent bath
ing; needless to say, the Club and
beach were very popular on week
ends. We remained at Chirala
from June through September,
when we once more packed up all
our belongings to return to our
lepot for another eight or nine
months.
By 11 To 5
The Elon Christians, flashing
power that brought memories of
championship years, trampled the
East Carolina Pirates by an 11 to
5 score in a North State Confer
ence baseball game on the Pirates’
home field last Saturday
Nick Thompson, Elon’s All-Con
ference and All-State shortstop,
continued his terrific senior sea
son play by driving five of his
mates across the plate and scoring
four runs himself. The Burlington
lad drove out two hits in three at
tempts. including a double that
came with loaded cushions.
East Carolina's Ermy Stevens
topped the Pirate attack with two
doubles and a triple in five at
tempts. His hits accounted for
three of the Pirates’ five markers.
Bill Ross and Gilbert Watts,
Elon's two freshman right-handers,
shared the pitching duties for the
victorious Christians. Ross went
the first eight innings and was re
lieved by Watts in the ninth. The
two scattered eight East Carolina
hits along the route.
