DANBURY REPORTER Volume 55. TOBACCO CROP MAY BE SHORT Trip To Eeastern Carolina and South Carolina By Ware houseman—Rain and Cold Weather Has Injured To bacco. Aubrey A. Fowler, former Stokes county boy, who is as sociated with Lovell, Joyce & Fowler in operating leaf tobac co warehouses at Fairmont and Mt. Airy, was a visitor to Dan hury yesterday. Mr. Fowler has just returned from a visit to Fairmont and other points in eastern Carolina and South Carolina. He found that while the acreage in tobacco in the sections he visited had been increased 15 to 20 per cent., continued rain and cool weath er has caused the young plants, which will now average about 8 inches in height, to "button," and take on a yellow cast, and Mr. Fowler thinks the crop has already been damaged 15 to 20 per cent, even if the season from this time on should be favorable. Hence, he figures that the crop this season will be no greater in in pounds than last year, not withstanding the increase in acreage, while the quality will necessairily be poor, as a rule. The cotton crop in those sec tions is almost a failure, Mr. Fowler said, on account of its lateness, which was caused by the cool weather. The warehouses at Fairmont will likely open between Aug. Ist and the 10th. in the opin ion of Mr. Fowler. After the season closes at Fairmont Mr. Fowler will be with his house in Mt. Airy, which will open probably about Oct. Ist. Indications are that the to bacco crop throughout South Carolina and Georgia has been damaged probably as much as in the Fairmont section, and Kunless there is considerable change the crop throughout these sections will be shor;:. As a result of this prices may be better than has been anti cipated. Prof. Raleigh Gibson, of Pine Hall, was among the visitors here Monday. Mr. Gibson has again accepted the position of principal in the Danbury school for the coming session. Official Vote of Stokes in Primary, June 2, 1928 House of Representatives. i SheritF. Reg. Deeds.
