LEAF PRODUCTION
TO BE DECREASED
Plant Shortage Labor Losses
Other Adverse Conditions
Indicate Reduction
A very, considerable* decrease in
the production of tobadco in the Old
Belt of Virginia and North Carolina
seems certain for Vj?3. according to
rrcp reports sect in from 782 loca'
unitB of the Tobacco Growers Co
operative Association to its Raleigh
headquarters last week.
A very heavy cut In th?; tobacco
crop of Virginia for 1923 is Indicated
bv tho fact that the figures from the
signed Btnt"mentB of hundreds of lo
col association secretaries show that
7 percent of the total Virginia acre
pge Is already abandoned. Tho Vir
ginia crop Is already cut 25.000,000
pounds short of the 1920 total and
unless plant and weather conditions
Improve matrlally It may be short
?0, 000, 000 pounds In weight compared
wllh 1922.
The Old Uelt of North Carolina,
according to the locals of the tobacco
cooperative, reports decrease in acre
age of 3.6 percent over last year.
From Raleigh west and mrth farm
ers report the most sorlous plant con
ditions they have ever known. East
ern North Carolina and tho South
Carolina Belt report a slight increase
u acreage hut uncertain weather
conditions The unprecedented short
age In farm labor and the continuous
migration of negro tenants to the
north will probably further decrease
the production of tobacco In these
cunties for tto coming year.
More thun 90,000 tobacco farmers
are now members of the Tobacco
Qroiwers Cooperative Association,
according to a count of contracts
made last week at Raleigh headquar
ters and the association continues
to hold Its position as tho largest

How Thin People Obtain a
Plump, Strong,
Robust Body
Before I took Prunitone people
used to call me 'skinny' but now my
name is changed. My whole body Is
stout. Have gained 15 lbs. and am galn
and watch it work. This test will tell
ir.g yet. I look like a new man." declar
?d F. P. Smith, Pittsburg, Pa., who
had Just finished the Prunitone treat
ment.
Would you, too, like to quickly put
from 10 to 30 lbs. of good solid "stay
there" flesh, fat and muscular tissue
1 *?tween ycur skin and bones?
Don't say It can't be done. Try Prunl
tone and prove what it can do for you.
L. E. Scoggin is selling a good deal
ot' Prunitone, and is giving universal
satisfaction.
More than a half a million thin men
and women have gladly mnrto this test
and that Prunitone does succeed, does
make thin folks fat, even where all
? lse has failed, is best proved by the
tremendous business we have done.
No drastic diet, flesh creams, massag?.
nils or emulsions, but a simple, harm
less remedy that is pleasent to take
and effective in results.
Take Prunitone with your meals,
the story.

Talk No. 2
BY
Dr. Chas. Breraner
Ab the life of a building depends
on Its foundation, so does your
Health depend on your spine.
If is the barometer of your ail
ments.
When It Is out of alignment
sickness is hound to bo the re
sult because It Is cutting off
the nerve force necessary to
give every part its help. Many
ways have been tried to remedy
sickness ? tout only one way has
been proven beneficial and that
is Chiropractic.
Drugs and operations are ihings
of bygone days They are old
falacles that have failed centur
ies ago to help suffering and
humanity.
Chiropractic, today stand# out
as a great agent of Health. It
gets at the root of the trouble,
removes It. and health must fol

manently. Come to my offices
for spinal analysis and consul
tation and will tell you what
Chiropractic has done In simi
