V. so you will live io csn uwui Questions For Each Farmer To Answer Since recently announced war goals- call for increases of prac tically all food and feed crops for 1945 and snce practically all tilla ble acres are already busy, the question arises as to how these goals niay be reached. lEnos Blair, Extension agronomist at State College, suggests that each grower ask himself the fol lowing questions. "Am I getting ready for 1945 crops by doing all the fall plowing I can ? If not, am I ready to begin preparing the soil early in the year? "Do I realize the great impor tance of turning under legumes to increase crop yields? "Do I have all the seed neces sary to plant my crops, and is the seed of good quality? "Should I not plan to use more fertilizer and lime next year, in view of the increased demand for food and feed crops! Do I know the best kind of fertilizer to use or do I plan to take whatever my dealer happens to have? Have I placed my order for fertilizer so that I will be assured of early de livery. "Do 1 realize the importance of planting all my crops on time? Is all my equipment in good condition and am I ready for soil preparation, planting, cultivating and harvest ing? Will I be able to gather my crops without any unnecessary de lays? "Do I have facilities to store my crops properly? If not, am I tak ing steps to get them?" The farmer who can answer "Yes" to all these questions will be very likely to do his part in crop production in '45, Blair concludes. ABLETS. SALVE. NOfE DROPS Benjamin E.

The Greeneville Market Adjourned Sales December 22 For The Holidays. Of the 23,613,616 pounds sold on the floors of the Six East Ten nessee Markets, Greeneville sold 6,205,148 pounds at an average of $47.18 per 100. THAT AVERAGE is lc higher than the combined average of the remaining Five Markets. Below is a news copy from the Knoxville Journal of December 15: "The Greeneville Tobacco Warehouses today experienced the biggest volume in history and that probably means the biggest money turnover. Sales Supervisor, Millard T. Morrow, says today's tabulation were expected to reveal sales totalling 850,000 pounds with plenty of tobacco going at 60c and 62c per pound Morrow said at least one Greeneville Warehouse had an average of 53c for the sale day. IT IS ONLY FAIR TO ADD THAT THIS SALE INCLUDED MANY CROPS OF NORTH CAROLINA GROWTH. Approximately 33,000)00 pounds of the crop was marketed up to the holidays In view of the fact the nine markets of this TOBACCO GROWING BELT sold 67,000,000 of last year's crop, it can be seen that at least forty percent of this crop has been marketed. Since there is much of the remaining crop yet to be worked the Greeneville Sales will likely continue through February or longer. A11 houses will remain open to receive all comers through the holidays. It pays the grower to sell direct on an Established Market.
