Demonstrations
According to Harry G, Silver
county agent, Madison County
farmers have done an excellent
job of producing ,and harvesting
burley tobacco in 1900. The crop
is nearing the ' finish in curing
and the important job of stripping
and sorting (Sie crop is here. A
tot of money will be made or lost
in preparing the tobacco for mar
ket. Four tobacco grading demon
strations have been scheduled for
Madison farmers nextweek as fol
lows: Wednesday, October 26 at 9:00
a. m., Claude Cody's store on Up

tobacco . ' situation and demand :
picture will be given at the demon
stration. iMiany tobacco growers lost mon-'
ey on their 1969 tobacco crop by
the method used in grading their
tobacco. The NOG, no official
grade, was applied to a lot of .
tobacco which was eligible for
support price if it had been pro
perly sorted, wet ; tobacco cost
farmers a lot of money this,
too, could have been avoided. ;
i . Tobacco farmers are 1 nvited
and urged to attend one of the '
tobacco demonstrations by - their
jLcounty agent, Harry Silver.' '
Many Tarheel farmers are wast
ing fertilizer or not getting a
proper return from their fertili
ser because of their failure to
take a soil sample.' Rsflph W,
Ramsey,1 county ; office manager
of the Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committee, said
fliat it is - especially important
that farmers planting legumes or
grasses or , improving existing
stands of legumes or grasses un
der the Agricultural Conservation
Program, determine in advance
the fertilizer that will offer the
most return for the plant food
dollar and whether or not lame is
needed, by having . the soil ana
lyzed.
Farmers who fail to anticipate
their planting in time to take a
soil test and receive an analysis
