IF Ybu WANT QUICK RESULTS USE A WANT AD IN THE ENTERPRISE ESTABLISHED 1898 REVIEW OF LAST VEAR'STOBACCO CROP AND PRICE Martin bounty as well a.s a lurge section of Kastero anil Central Caro lina is depending in a large way upon thi* price of tobacco to bring is pros peiily. It is a .strange thing that people will place their dependence up on a "article ur commodity that has nn leal value of any kind, yet since we ure in the deal it is up to us to get out the best we can. At present indications are that the crop is better ihis year than last. Judgiug from the prices now being paid further south, we may reasonably expect fair prices this fall. We are giving the total sales and a\, rage prices paid on several mar kets in this section last year. I own founds Ave. Willianiston _ . 4,405,188 $18.38 Washington 6,069,106 17. 11 Robersonville 3,732,218 19,tH> Tarboro 4,126,614 18.15 Greenville 38,820,000 20.66 Plymouth 182,776 16.23 Windsor 1,866,224 15.»t> The foregoing shows that tobacco sells at practically the same price on every market except in the old tobao >•o sections where the crop is taken better care of than among those who do not know so well how to grow and handle it. The rumors that are fre quently. heard going the rounds that one market pays double what another market pays is never true and while the prices maybe influenced some lit tle the tobacco on each market is hougt o na basis of a well regulateii rule or grade. If a farmer puts his tobacco o na conveneient market he will generally come out better than to run here and there where somebody says prices are higher.
