Tobacco Harvesting
Begins.
J. T. -Booth, Sates Supervisor
of the Winston-Salem Tobacco
Market advises that several to
bacco growers in different sec
tions have started putting some
tobacco in the barns for curing.
Mr. Booth a "so said that it has
always been the policy of the
operators jof the Winston-Salem
Market to bend every effort to
'assist the tobacco growers in ev
ery way possible. In line with
this policy he advises that "Due
to the necessity of much replant
ing naturally the crop this yeai
is uneven in size and man}
plfcrats hav| not matured and
ripened sufficiently to be harvest
ed along with the earlier plant
ings. tobacco cannot be
satisfactorily curted, therefore
only the ripe leaves should be
gathered at this time, and the
late replantings should be left tc
i
mature and npen or until the
last curing. In this way a ripe
uniform crop will result and the
earlier curings will be clear ol
green inferior leaves. Particulai
care should be exercised in sort-
ing land tobacco will look bettei
on the sales floor and se'l bettei
if it is uniformly and carefully
. tied in neat medium sized bundles
with particular attention to avoid
over-sized bundles. Much satis
faction was expressed last season
by local tobacconists that the
tobacco growers of the Winston-
Salem Territory are rapidly be
coming among the best and mosl
icarefui handlers }n any tob&ccc
belt, which fact will no doubt
continue to be a very imporitanl
i factor in the success of both the
tobacco growers and the Wins-
ton-Salem market!-
