This will be due in part to the good crop in this section of the State, and J to the reduced yield forecast, but f ? r, principally to the guarantee of gov- j eminent price stabilisation, which I will result from the AAA three yenrj control referendum of lest year. Sol farmers, tobacconists and business men of Farmville will await the I dawn on Tuesday with uplifted faces! and high hopes. The opening of the market acts as] a powerful stimulant to all activities! in Farmville.' Something of this mul tiplex activity is rejected in the pages of this issue, which has been dedicated to the Farmville Tobacco Market by the business men of the town. Farmers generally are hopeful, for statistics the first of July proved that the farm income for the United States is higher that last year, aad that proepedts of demand for farm products will continue to be heavy for sometime. Prices for livestock, poultry and dairy products have been stimulated by the Food-For-mdene* program, which has bees designed to keep the army moving on its stomach, and cotton and other commodities, assume as iwjortaat role in the pre I United States a breadbasket and eom ??>?- "n^fr ," , *" "*Ml ?

The story of the prog ress of the market is one of extra ordinary happenings. From the year of its birth, there has been a growing demand for larger warehouse space, the employment of more men and the supplying of more of the varied facil ities ^equate to care for an increas ed volume of aales^ Realising that a superior quality of tobacco was being raised in this im Wiftdlate section that, it was being grown in greater quantities each year, a group of enterprising and energetic business men beld a meeting in top ; spring of 1904 and discussed the pos sibilities of a tobacco sales market for Fannville. The idea was broadcast and grew in favor by leaps and bounds until a few weeks later a for the masterful undertaking, the contract for two wooden structures whs let and the ring of the hammer was soon heard on the opposite corn ers of Wilson Mid Field streets, the sites of the first warehouses. This market has Bteadily grown only a few thousand pound*, the modern tobacco town of Fannville is now a model of compactness, conven- * . ience and efficiency, brought into a real existence about twenty three years ago, when'the present group ?of .gigantic brick buildings rose out m of the ashes of the old wooden houses used during the years following its leaf sales houses have replaced the cradles that rocked the .infant man* . ket, andeaijh one of the thirty ?m* Stepping rtone to a. new record of achievement, bringing a justified pride to the warehousemen and citi zens I it the attention
