The warehouses actually handled about 484,100,000 pounds or 12,000,000 more than the previous year’s record crop. It is said that on the Danville, Va., tobacco market fully one-third of the sales are made up of North Carolina prcduction. Thus North Carolina h*d approximately 500,000,000 pounds of bright leaf tobacco prod'uced within its borders for the crop year of 1928. Greenville and Wilson markets to gether inicrease their farmers’ sales by almost 17,000,000 pounds, which is a sizeable quantity for two medium markets to sell altogether. Mebane’s $22.08 avreage price led the s.ate. Fuquay Springs came second. These two markers usually hold first places. Greenville led on the 10,000,000 pound class markets. The state average was $18.78 for 1928 and $22.00 for the previous season’s total sales. This indicates slightly more than these averages for the ex clusive farmers’ sales. There was an increase of two houses shown in the 151 operating during the pasrt; season. The average per house was about 3,200,000 pounds. The 43 markets averaged,' 11,280,000 pounds. The old bright belt sold 156,777,577 pounds at an average of $18.15. The new (eastern) belt han dled 280,7377,672 pounds, averaging $20.03 for the farmers’ sales, while the South Carolina belt, including markets in Columbus, Bladen and TEiF Wore F amous People RIDE ON GOODYEAR TIRES THAN ON ANY OTHER KIND Stars of the stage and filmdom, heads! of great businesses, cele brated professional men, notables in all walks of life—they choose the finest, and they are widely agreed on tires—Goodyear.
