I TheL sales yesterday totaled y. around ,. , 60,000 pounds and prices ranged as high as 60 centa the pound. About the same number of pounds was 'sold tdday. " Judging from prices ' paid" on the opening sale, the better, grades of the" golden-weed will bring satisfac tory prices this season, while the prices for the lower grades will be off from last season. The offerings Tuesday and yesterday consisted largely of first primings and the grades were not good. "' , The Lumberton market has the largest corps of buyers in its history and all the buyers are eager to pur chase ripe, bright tobacco. It is very important that the tobacco-growers leave the tobacco on the stalk until it is thoroughly ripe, according to th warehousemen and buyers. If remov. ed from the stalk before it is ripe, the tobacco will not sell for satis-, factory prices. .--''' Reports from the' markets at Fair mont, Proctorville , and St. Pauls state that the opening sales Tues day were yery satisfactory, both to the warehousemen and the farmers. Sales will be conducted every day ex cept Saturday from now until the close of the selling season. L. C. TILLEY DIED SUDDENLY.

Presen Crop Prospect is Favorable Corn, Tobacco and Cotton In Robeson and Throughout the State. (Reported by Frank Parker, Agri cultural Statistician.) Lumberton, July 17 The crops of this section of North Carolina' have improved remarkably even though they -are still late, after the late winter;, and discouraging weather con-, ditions during the spring. The June crop , conditions improved seven . per cent- as the weather was very favora ble expecting, for some spotted hail hit sections,. The crop forecast is fa vorable t ; present as announced by the state's- Cooperative Crop Report ing Service, at Raleigh. Robeson county has 64,750 acres of corn or 95 per cent compared with 100..c1' """K " do condition. .The tobacco crop ayer- ages 85 per cent in condition. The; et8 estimated to be 92 per cent j of the 1919 crop, and cotton is report ed to De 83,iuu acres, or 98 per cent of 1919 and condition 79 per cent. Mne nana Carolina corn acreage this year is four per cent below last year's and indicates 89 per cent of a full crop v prospect The forecasted 57 million) bushels production is threftmrrent better than trn miiHo Bt fan hlhe- 2.27 per bushel or 32 cents more than a year ago. The United States acreage is slihtlv increased : from ja8t year but the present condition of pTOUUC&lOn The State'a cotton perhaps increased slightly with a 74 per cent condition. This was nine per cent lower than' it was a - year ago. The improvement during June mt Mnjm th.'..m hnt thm ' -mnr.nva? a,,- t.' , t,ffl.i.TOao j;k- -a to the extent of over eight per cent, nt condition h slightIy above tne ten year average. The tobacco crop that put us to the front and brought so much wealth Into northern and -eastern Carolina is in creased' five to six per cent in acreage with a condition of 80 per cent of a full crop. J This means that we have a eooi cr0D prospect and if price, hold UD. we will have anothe hio-h up, we will nave another high rank in the crop's value. Perhaps we may yet convinceKentucky ' of the im portance of - the crop in this state, since we are increasing the last year's acreage which surpassed her's. The value of last year's sales weTe certi fied to by western buyers as aggregat ing more than those of our rival.
