TOBACCO SELLS GOOD u a Eastern Markets' At Opening '.Tuesday; Advances Mostly On Com nion tirades Opening of the bright belt tobacco markets in Eastern North Carolina Tuesday fc,und the price average ap proximately |8 to |10 higher than on the initial day last year, and farm ers and business men unanimous in expressions of satisfaction with the "way it sold." Because of a late season no unusual records for quantity were reported i from the various markets as in many sections farmers have not finished curing their tobacco. The largest sales were chronicled from Wilson, Greenville, Klnston and Rocky Mount witfaf a combined total of between three and four million pounds. Several of the smaller markets showed record receipts for an opening day. I The general average price level ap peared to be from 23 to 25 cents a pound, with most of the markets hit ting around the quarter mark. This compared with from 12 to 16 cents paid on the opening day last year. Low Grades High The most spirited bidding was foi the lower grades of tobacco, from .trash lugs up to bright lugs, which showed an increase of at least 50 pel cent over the prices for the same grades In 1926. There was a (all sprinkling of the better grades, good cutters bringing from 40 to 55 cents, with a few fancy piles going higher. ! However, the comparatively higl ? prices paid for the common or "first ! priming' grades was what astonished growers more than anything else. Is ? some cases the increase in price as (compared* with last year reached 106 per cent i Considering the quality of tobacco, growers and merchants anticipate a revival of the prosperity era of 1919 sad 1920 In Eastern Carolina this fall, although not on Buch a feverish and ; reckless basis. With the price average 1 starting at around 26 cents it will rise as the bulk of the crop, which com prises the better grades, begins to come In. When this happens, the price averages likely will climb to 30 cents or even hi^fcer. DR. KNIGHT SPEAKS TO KIWIS I ASS Dr. W. H.

Johnson visited Benson Fri day tor the purpose of getting first hand information in regard to the operation of a creamery. Mr. H. H. Schweppe, manager of the Benson creamery, was especially nice to the- party and enthusiastic in the information given, all of which was very favorable to this class en terprise for a county like Johnston, or Franklin. He said they paid 45 cents a pound for butter fat the year roun<l and had a sale for more of their product than they could make. This was a new venture of only about eight months and they expected tc make expenses this month. They are I now being supplied by thirty-five farmers with approxlmatey 200 cows. | He stated that four average cows I would average about $60 per month for butter fat and that it would coat | about $30 per month to keep these i cows. The skim milk is used to feed 'hogs and chickens which .represent ' a good profit. The manure Is worth around $10 per month. Speaking of Franklin county he ad vised shipping cream at first. But after interesting farmers with as many as 300 or 400 cows a creamery could be started. He estimated the cost of equipment for a creamery the sise of the one at Benson, with a few minor changes, at about $4,000. He said the cost to the farmer to begin to sell cream would only be the In vestment in his cows., a separator and two five gallon cans. These cans can be shipped to Benson for 38 cents and would be returned free. A Ave gallon can of cream will produce around $4.60 worth of butterfat. Sufficient information was recelr. ed to show that It would be a very nice source of Income for many ol the farmers of Franklin county.
