WHY TOBACCO IS HIGH
Two Short Crops and the
Dissolution of the- Trust.
EASTERN N. C REASON
The 1912 Crop Will Average Over
Twenty Cents Farmers,
Don't Increase Your
Acreage.
"Tobacco is King," the farm
ers of eastern North Carolina
are declaring; for never in the
history of this section has one
of its staple products brought
such prices. A very conserva
tive estimate is that the 1912
crop of tobacco raised in this
favored section, will average
the farmers :?20 a hundred
pounds for the entire crop. It
may reach an average of *2l or
5?23, as the better grades are yet
to be sold, and there is not the
slightest indication of a lower
ing of prices at this writing, at
which fully 7l> per cent, of the
crop has been marketed.
That the average price of to
bacco is very high this year will
be readily seen from a compari
son of the following table of
averages of the past five years.
For this table of averages we
are indebted to Messrs. Cozart,
Eahles & Carr, of Wilson, N. C.,
the leading warehousemen of
the State.
The average prices given are
in round numbers as follows :
1907 about $11.25
about 10.00
190 about 9.00
191 about 11.50
191 about 14,50

average crops. The 1910 and
1911 crops were short by about
3.") per cent. Especially is this
true of the 1911 crop.
A number of reasons can be
given in explanation of this!
year's high prices. No single
one of them will suffice, but ;
when together they will, in our;
opinion, form a pretty correct
answer to the oft-propounded!
query. "Why is tobacco soj
high this year ?
The first reason we shall give 1
is, that the 1912 crop of tobacco,
raised in eastern North Carolina
is the best crop ever raised in
that section. It is conceded by;
all well posted tobacco men, that
for high color, fine fiber, good
body and texture, the cutters
of the 1912 crop cannot be ex
celled. This is true also of the
export types. Better fillers
were never raised any where.
The rains coming just as they
did, at the proper time, were
more the cause of this class of
tobacco being produced than
anything else. Another good
reason for the high prices is, a
shortage in the Old Belt section 1
estimated at from 2~> to 50 per
cent; also the shortage in the
l'.'lu and 1911 crops in the New!
Belt.
Another good reason is, the
dissolution of the great Tobacco
Trust, which took place last
year. By the terms of this
dissolution the stock of tobacco
went into the hands of one com
pany and those companies that
were formerly branches of the
Trust are compelled to go on
the market and buy stock for
the manufacturing end of their
companies. Common sense teils
us that if four or five men have
to have a certain article, it will
sell higher than if this certain
article is desired by only one
man, altho he may be a purchas
ing agent for several concerns.
The fourth and last reason we
shall give is, that the 1912 crop
of tobacco in the New Belt is
just an average crop in pounds,
no attempt being made by the
farmers to raise a large crop of
tobacco for 1913. The bulk of
tobacco raised in eastern Caro
lina is used for cigarettes and
pipe purposes. We are told
that the fiscal year ending June
30, 1912, showed an increase of
2,01K),00' >,OOO cigarettes manufac
tured over the the previous fiscal
year. While our type of tobac-
I MIL IMNfcJI RY khPOkiCK
I co is used principally for cigar
ette and pipe purposes, yet all
the cigarettes used in the United
States are not made of this kind
of tobacco, but the Turkish,
so-called Turkish, Burley and
other kinds.
I While this two billion cigar
j ettes may look very big in
figures, yet when it is known
| that three pounds of tobacco will |
I make one thousand cigarettes,;
j the increase in the consumption
'is not so big after all. If the
I farmers of eastern North Caro
lina make the mistake of in
creasing their acreage in 1913 i
;to help supply the tobacco for'
these two billion cigarettes, they | (
will make a very grave mistake, j 1
The acreage for 1913 should not 1
be increased even a single acre.
Keep these big companies want
ing your tobacco, and you will
always get a good price for it.
The soil of eastern North Cam-1
linais of such a type that enough
tobacco could be planted in one
year to supply the whole world
for two years. By this, we
mean of th • i., .>* of tobacco
I Carolina raises. Plant just such
a sized crop as you pitched for
IDI2, and tho the kindly rains of
; heaven may not descend just as
they did this year at the proper
season, yet your average for the
crop will he high. Plant a big
crop and you will "kill the
goose that lays the golden egg,"
just as certain as the sun shines.
Keep the tobacco people always
wanting tobacco and raise just
enough to fill the demand and
you will always get good prices.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
CURED
by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflam
ed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of I 'eafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

When men know what they
' want, they get it. Every wrong
thing we have to face in modern
industrial life is due to men who
know what they want, and who
therefore get it —due to the:
passions and dreams of men
and the one sigle way in which
these wrong things will ever be
overcome is with more passions
and with more and mightier
dreams of men. Gerald Stanley
