Warns Against
Dry Tobacco
In Curing
College Specialist Says Application
Of Moisture May Save
Thousands
Tobacco going into the barns now
has little sap due to the dry wea
ther. therefore it has a tendency to
dry out before the leaves are yellow
ed. This Is ruining the appearance
and quality and will cost the grow
ers thousands of dollars unless
something is 4one to overcome the
condition, says B. Y. Floyd, exten
sion specialist in tobacco production
at State College.
It is a good plan for the growers
to keep tfee barn floors wet with
water during the period of yellow
ing. Unless this la done, the leaves
will cure out with a greenish color.
It is also a good Idea to take some
old sacks, wet them thoroughly and
place' them over the fire joints. The
sacks should be kept wet during the
yellowing period. This will Create
a steam that will help the leaf to
yellow properly, Ur. Floyd says.
To do thU, he believes, will mean
a few thousand more dollars to the
tobacco growers* In sections where
the present drought has been severe.
Market To Open
September 27th
The Tobacco Markets In the mid
dle belt will open (or the sale of
the 1932 crop of tobacco on Septem
ber 27th, according to a decision of

township, was the first to eihlbit
samples of the 19S2 tobacco crop.
.Be brought to (he TIMES office
Tuesday a bundle of especially fine
first primings, that had a fine color
and good texture. Mr. Glasgow was
well pleased with his first ouring,
but said that if It did not rain soon

would not be so good.

N. *C. Crop
Condition
Raleigh, N. C., July 25, 1932:
Frank0 Parker, representing the Sta
tistical Division gives a brief idea of
present crop oonditions. He also
briefly outlined some Important and
unfamiliar features of their recent
annual Issue of the Farm Forecaster.
In view of complaints that farm
ers often object to crop forecasts as
being harmful to the farmers' inter
ests, four educational folders have
been prepared, for free distribution,
clarifying the purposes of these re
ports.
Mr. Parker says that farmers need
government crop report information
even mora than do the buyers, who
have their private information for
study. The farmer would cut off his
"thumb" to spite the speculator
when advocating no crop reports.
Their reports show that the tobac
co acreage ia not reduced as much
as farmers think, while the condi
tion may result in a better bright
leaf yield than appears probable.
The production trend started to ex
ceed the demand in 1926. This was
when the price started down from
25 cents. The damages to plant
beds by flea bugs and blue mold
may be a blessing In disguise.
The cotton "'crop situation Is not
known, due to reports on this crop
being prohibited prior to August
1st. The acreage is reduced about
6 per cent in North Carolina and 10
per eent for the Cotton Belt. The
weevil emergence was the heaviest
ever, but the hot and dry July
weather is the most effective com
bative agency. The low price is pri
marily due to the supply ^-produc
tion being greatly in excess of the
demand ? manufacture.
North Carolina is fortunate in its
yearly Farm Census, which being
nan^apeculative information, pro
vides reliable county acreage*, based
on the personal judgments of more
than 200,000 farm owners.
Favorite pastime ot men who
grow rich la advltlhg other* how to
do It. But we can't all be million
aire*, thank a kind fate tor that.
