DANBURY, N. C.. JUNE 17, 1914.
CHOP 10 BE SHORT
Tobacco Outlook Is Precari
ous, With High Prices
Certain In the Tall.
FAILURE IN EAST
Drouth Conditions Prevalent In
All the Tobacco Belt, Partic
ularly in (Eastern North
Carolina, South Carolina
and Virginia Good
Rains In Many Sec
tions of Stokes.
! There is every indication that
I the 1914 crop of tobacco will be
' the shortest for many years.
! In Eastern North Caroiina, South
•Carolina end Virginia serious
drouth conditions prevail. The
Reporter is informed by a lead
ing tobacco man of North Caro
lina that in all probability the
tobacco farmers have never seen
any high tolacco, such as will
be seen on the markets this fall.
Another week or two of dry
weather will mean the shortest
crop in ten years. Usually the
serious part f drouths occurs
after the tobacco has been set
out, thus allowing it to get
started. Once the tobacco plant
can firmly fix its roots in the
ground, it is very hardy, and
can stand lots of hot dry weather.
But this year the farmers in
many instances have set cut
but little of their crop, and that
which has been set out shows
a poor stand, many of the plants
dying for the want of moisture
when they were young and
tender, and from the shock of the
transplanting in dry grounds.
In several sectijns of Stokes
good rains have put the crop on
an average basis. While in
other sections the stand is very
poor. It is estimated now that
the crop will be cut off one-fifth
or one-fourth in Stokes.
Another reason for high prices
this fall is the sharp competition
which will result fiom the
fierce fight on cigarettes between
some of tha big companies. The
demand for bright tobacco is
sure to be strong. Farmers are
urged to prime largely.

BIGGEST SEASON
Piedmont Springs Enjoying
the Greatest Patronage
In Its History.
HOTEL OVERFLOWS
Registration Before J jne 15 Hqual
to One-half Of Any Previous
Season —About HundreJ
and Fifty Giests
The Auto Tour
For June 27.
Piedmont Springs is enjoying
its greatest season. Already
the registration at the hotel has
'equaled cne-half that of any
'previous whole season. Even
available bed and cot has been
kept in commission. Many
nights the porches have been
utilized for sleeping room. La?t
Sunday the hotel accommodated
upwards of 300 people. Be
tween iity and one hundred auto
mobiles from Greensboro, Madi
son, Winston-Salem, Walnut
Cove and other points unloaded
crowds of transit nts cs well as
stayers. The we.k-end parties
are now the biggest features
connected with the resort. The
good roads from Walnut Cove to
the Springs are attracting tour
ists over a widespread area.
The orchestra has arrived, and
is dispensing high class music
for the concerts and dances.
Many reservations are being
made for July and August. If
the present patronage continues
the 1914 season at Piedmont will
eclipse that of any -resort of
anything like the same capacity
in the State.
On Saturday, June 27, the
big automobile tour from Wins
ton-Salem, consisting of possibly
200 cars, with a thousond pas
sengers, is expected. It is learn
ed that the machines will begin
arriving soon after dinner, as
the run can be made from Wins
ton in less than two hours. All
the afternoon they will be arriv
ing. Of coursj tha capacity of
the hotel is not suffici. Nt to ac
comodate such a large crowd,
but the best will be done possible.
This will be the biggest event
in the history of the county,
and will doubtless attract a large
crowd of spectators from the
country round about.
