SERIOUS CUT-OFF

Farmer.* are pe.-*»ui:i*tn over ill"
outlook for bread another ve-'.r.
resulting from the serous curtail.
ment of wheat and rye a' rea-e 'l'tii*
is owing to the continuous rains that
have occurred this fall, ni.tkim; it
ini|Ki*i:i»le for the farmers to pre.
pure their lands for smali grain-.
A rain of two oi three day*'
duration has been the ru'.e almost
every week since September. The
la-nd iia.s stayed too wet to plow.
Many l farmery have given up a when
•rop altogether. A good deal of
rye will l>e KOV.II yet. JF the weather
permit*, as this grain does well if
sown a- late as December.
The 11132 tobacco crop is atKHit
i two-tbirds sold. taken am a whole.
Many farnn-iv hav t . marketed their
entire crops. Owing to the short
crop, coupled with the generally
'"iv prices prevailing on the market,,
t is considered that only a few
farmers will be al.lf to more than
pay their government loan* and
fheir 'laxe>*. Pralctieally »io«e can
make any considerable land pay
ment. Many farmers who are in
debt cannot pay the interest an
their land mortgages.
The outlook for farming in 1933
is n'lt very bright, thank* to the
depressed prices for nearly every
farm product.
The prices for the 193- crop of
tobacco are very discouraging to
I
growers, as it had been thought
that owing to the short crop every
where- —I'urtaJi'ed over 50 per >-nt.
I
—the price paid on the markets
for tobacco, would be much better.
