H 8 17 2tp TO BEGIN SALE OF TOBACCO (Continued from Page 1) brought the crop to rapid matur ity following an unusually dry season during the normal growing period^ in May and June. This rapid maturity also was the cause of considerable lossage in the fields due to the leaves ripening faster than farmers ^ were able to put their tobacco in curing barns. It has been estimated that from ten to twelve percent of the crop pro duced in this area has been lost in the fields due to their abnormally fast ripening and shortage of barns for curing. ■Nevertheless, with the price average holding between eighteen and twenty cents on the border markets, farmers, business men, and tobacco warehousemen are looking forward to the opening Tuesday with much anticipation. The general feeling among all concerned is one of optimism, with the prospects bright for a good .season for the farmer and the best year in its history for the Ahoskie tobacco market. to see our new samples of wedding stationery.
