,ve already none up in .-moke
ttiis season. ? ?
Various reasons are being given
for tht heavy, loss so far this year.
One is that, -because of the heavy
volume of tobacco being raised, and
the speed with which it is ripening,
tanners are over-anxious to get their
barns of tobacco "killed-out "
'Another explanation is that the
? n ins of this year s tobacco crop are
larger than usual, and therefore rc
i|Uin more intense heat for "killing
?ot " Th?- ? xi > ..sni heat greatly; ???
i ! eases the fire hazard
The sun. likewise, is doing its part
in 'cutting down the big crop In
many fields through the counts can
be seen tobacco stalks with one to
Iw.o primings, around mid-stalk,
burned to a sickening yellowish
brown by the merciless r ays of tin
sun.
Scores of farmers an having ti

classing, growers will be provided
with market news reports quoting
current prices for the various grades

According to Mr. McLure, 312 ap

cotton belt as a whole during the

extension workers and other sources
indicate that as many as 900 groups
may apply for the service for the
1939 ginning season. "Should funds
I allotted for the 1939-40 season be
insufficient to supply the classing to
all groups applying." he said, "ap

difference in planting elates over the

vice should make application at

The deadline for filing applications
is September 1. "Early filing of ap

enable classing offices to prepare for
the increased volume of samples ex
