At Bluethenthal Field

tion, it was announced yesterday
by Colonel C. E. Hughes, com

rOBACCO STORAGE j
BREAKS RECORDS
Setting an all-time record for
storage of tobacco in Wilmington,
between 42,000 and 45,000 tierces ot
tobacco have been placed in ware
houses here this fall, a survey of
storage facilities revealed yester
day.
The movement, which began on
June 25 and will continue through
mid-November, includes tobacco
from Georgia, South Carolina, Vir
ginia, North Carolina and Ken
tucky, and the shipments are now
about 70 per cent completed. Twen
ty four packing points or re-drying
plants are diverting their tobacco
to Wilmington this year.
One explanation for the record
breaking storage is additional ware
house facilities that have been di
verted to this use. Some 60,000
square feet of space have been
made available this year, as com
pared with last year’s facilities.
Warehouse space that for the past
fifteen years has been used for
storage of sugar has been largely
turned over to tobacco storage be
cause of the shortage of sugar sup
plies.
Some ot the tobacco crop usually
stored at Norfolk and Newport
News was diverted to Wilmington
