The Need of "Basements"
Causes Stokes County
Farmers Much Loss of
Time and Money.
Every farmer in Stokes county who grows tobacco should have
a "basement," or a room dug out in the ground, in which he can
"order" his leaf tobacco and prepare it for market during long dry
seasons. Such a room or basement should have a room erected over
it in which to store the tobacco after it has been prepared.
If every farmer had a basement so that he could prepare and
market tobacco at any time, instead of waiting for a "season," gluts
on the tobacco markets would be a thing of the past. And it is a
well known fact that when tobacco is rushed to market in such
large quantities and in such "high order" during a tobacco season,
the price always drops and the farmer loses. In many cases it is
more than likely that a farmer will lose more money on one load of
tobacco by selling while the market is glutted than it would cost to
build a good basement.
The work of preparing a basement is a very small matter, and
only requires two or three days time. Any farmer who wants to can
have a good one by the time the next week's issue of this paper
reaches him.
What the Farmer Did.
A city man recently visited his
"country cousin." The man from
the city, wishing to explain the
joys of metropolitan life, said:
' 'We have certainly been having
some fun the last few days.
Thursday we autoed to the coun
try club, and golfed until dark,
then trollied back to town and
danced until morning." The
country cousin was not to be
stumped in the least, so he began
by telling of some of the pleas
ures of the simple life: "We
have had pretty good times here,
too. One day we buggied out to
Uncle Need's and went out to the
back lot, where we baseballed all
that afternoon. In the evening
we sneaked up into the attic and
poked until morning." A sturdy
old farmer who was listening,
not to be outdone, took up the
conversation at this point and
said: "I was having some fun
about this time myself. I muled
to the cornfield and gee-hawed
until sundown. Then I suppered
until dark, and piped until 9
o'clock, after which I bedsteaded
until the clock fived, after which
I breakfasted until it was time to
go muling again."
