WEEKLY TOBACCO NEWS
LETTER
Henderson, June 10. ? No word
could better describe the condi
tion of the crop in Vance and sur
rounding counties than "Excel
lent"; Season throughout the past
week have been good, with a
heavy rainfall on Thursday, which
was accompanied with consider
able hail. Damage was reported
on young plants due to hail iu
scattered sections, however, not
enough was noted to effect con
ditions over the territory as a
whole.
Taking the worst fields of to
bacco rather than the best or the
average, plants in these fields are
only slightly smaller and not quite
us fully and well developed; how
ever, these plants most of which
were recently transplanted, will
grow out fully within the next J
week, particularly after the re
cent heavy rain. Warm days and
nights have been perfect for grow
ing plants and reports received
from all sections are optimistic.
Of course it is unreasonable to
predict at this time how the crop
will turn out, knowing of the
variations of the many plights
that may strike the crop before
curing time, but if conditions re
main normal with no serious hail
or insect damage, the 1939 crop in
this section will undoubtedly be
one of the best on record, both
from point of yield and quality
of crop.
Reports from the Border Belt
state that a small number of
planters will house their first to
bacco during the next week. Re
ports from the Eastern Belt ad
vise that curing will begin in a
small way by the eiif^of this
montjl. - - <!r"\e g~~

Are Americans irresponsible
spendthrifts?
This would appear to be the on
ly logical conclusion to be drawn
from the (act that during the past
eight years the yearly additions to
the public debt have averaged
three and a half billion dollars,
which is more than the total cost
of government in 1929, notwith-|
standing new and heavy taxation!
that has been imposed since then. [
By July X, 1940, the President es
timates that the Federal debt will
be $44,458,000,000, as contrasted
to $16,000,000,000 in 1932. In
terest alone on this vast amount
now consumes 20 cents of every
dollar of tax revenue, or over
$1,000,000,000 a year.
All the flag waving in the uni
verse cannot save a spendthrift
nation from revolutionary chaos, j
And that is something that the;
general public does not yet seemj
to realize. Public officials In the
nation's capital are now almost
helpless to stem the tide of spend
ing, even if they so desired. The
desire to stop spending the nation
into ruin, has got to start at home. I
livery man and woman mUBt come
to realize that the Federal debt Is
rapidly approaching proportions
that threaten the very founda
tions of individual liberty.
There is no such thing as "tree '
money." As one public official, a
United States Senator, recently
pointed out: "We get the money
from you. . . . ,and you don't get
it all back. . . . We take your
shirt and give you a little piece of
the shirt tail; Then you go back
home waving It and shouting.
'Look what Uncle Sam gave me.' "j
