Optimism At
Henderson
Henderson, Sept- 6. ? Optimism
prevades the Henderson tobacco
market as the seven big Hender
son warehouses prepare for the
opening of the seventy-fifth year
of the Middle Beit's second larg
est tobacco market next Monday,
according to Arthur H. Surprise,
sales supervisor of the Hender
son iharket. '
Averages for the 1943 season
will surprise most farmers, Sus
prise believes. The strong prices
on lower grade leaf on the ear
lier markets indicates that while
drought has lowered quality,
prices will be higher, grade for
grade, than in 1942's banner
market year.
Slower marketing will be a
great benefit to the farmer, who
will get his leaf on the floor in
better shape and will have time
to save his cotton and feed crops.
Surprise says.
Henderson's golden anniver
sary market is the second largest
in the Middle Belt and is one of
the oldest of all leaf auction
markets, being established in
1868. Henderson has seven big
warehouses and with two sets of
buyers surpassed all other Mid
dle Belt markets in poundage and
cash paid out in the 1942 season.
The management of the Hender
son warehouses is unchanged
from last year.
First day sales will be at High
Price, Farmers, Carolina and
Big Henderson warehouses.

O. R. Radford, Franklinton,
Rout No. 2, tried the wide and
narrow row arrangement on two
acres of tobacco this year.
Mr. Radford prepared his land
last spring by plowing beds eight
feet wide throughout the fleid.
He then opened a furrow with a
middle-burster on top of each bed
and put in one-half the fertilizer
he planned to use on the entire
field. A broad, round top ridge
was thrown on this furrow with
a turning plow. The rest of the
fertilizer was then put down in
the two ridging furrows which
were two feet apart. The fertil
izer in these two rows or fur
rows was covered with a turning
plow moving part of the original
ridge in the center of the bed to
make a smooth, level surface on
which to $et the plants. The
plants were thus set out on these 1
rows which were two feet apart ,
with a space of six feet to the |
next row on th^ adjoining bed. j
In other words Mr. Radford had
when he finished, a wide six foot '
row and a narrow two foot row.
Mr. Radford says that the cftief
advantages he can see to this plan
i is that you hare a broad bed
.which protects the plants from
!the loss of two much moisture in
i dry weather and also provides
ample drainage in wet weather.
I Then there is a better distribu
tion of the fertilizer and more
room to work the plants and har
vest the crop from the six foot
rows (the two foot rows are nev
er cultivated).
This row arrangement was
originated by H. A. McGee, To
bacco Specialist of the Clemson
College Extension Service of
South Carolina, and has worked
very well in sections where it has
peen tried. In 1941 demonstra
tions were set up on eight South
Carolina farms and the tobacco
planted on this wide and narrow
