should give considerable thought to

for market.
S. N. Hawks, Jr., Tobacco Speci

properly pi epared tobacco looks
good on the warehouse floor and
catches the eyes of quality minded
bidders, Also if a buyer wan Is a

something else by mixing the

long run
Another important Horn in pre
paring tobacco for market Is to
keep it free of strings and other
foreign matter This material must
be picked nut by manufacturers by
hand, which runs their cost up
considerably.

Pmcc slates that in marketing
any farm product, it will pay to
■ prepare it attractively and neatly.
' A grower may think he is getting
i bv with something when he tails
to sort the crop properly, or if
he leaves string mixed in it out
the extia expense that the manu
: factum has in handling wui be
reflected in the price the grower
receives.
GOOD LIGHTS FOR SORTING
If a good job of sorting and han
dling is to be done, a good place
1 to work is needed. A well-lighted
sorting room with some means of
1 j bringing the tobacco in order will
! help speed up the job and enable
j the grower to do a better job.
* | Studies snd observation snow
! that of the lights examined to date,
i a -combination of one 40-watt ”de
! luxe cooi white’’ fluorescent tube
and ore 40-watt "daylight” tube is
satisfactory for sorting tobacco.
The use. of electric lights not only
helps the grower to do a better
job ov having a constant light, but
will also make if, possible for him
to work his tobacco any time dur
ing ’.he day or night.

Merchants and city officials join*
j od wilh tobaceornen in welcoming
! farmers of surrounding areas to ;
;1 hr city and in reminding them
that during the brief history of the
i local market, it has enjoyed one of
j the highest price avereges of the
j state.
From a volume of 9,000,900 I
; pounds ir, 5948, the Dunn market
1 made steady increases to 11,400,- i
j 000 pounds last year, and the pre
! diction is that the 1956 volume will
be even higher, in spite of a cut
! of 12.5 in acreage.
The fact that it draws an un
usually large number of buy
ers makes prospects good for
high prices through highly
| competitive bidding.
Dunn's two warehouses have a
j combined floor space of more than i
j 480.000 square feet. They are the I
: Big Four, located just off the Bi n- j
! son highway north of Dunn, and !
I Planters, on the Fayetteville high- ■
! way to the south.
