ASSOCIATED PRESS AND CENTRAL PRESS Advance In Tobacco Is Looked For 22 and 25 Cents Aver age Mentioned by Officials at Oxford onThursday Tobacco prices in advance of those paid for the crop of flue-cured leaf hai vested in this State last year are expected by men in close touch with the condition of the market, according to expressions heard Thursday at the 13th annual field day and rally for farmers at the Tobacco Experiment (Station of the State Department of Agriculture at Oxford. J. B. Hutson, chief of the tobacco section of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, one of the headline speakers, in discussing the conference in Washington this week relative to a marketing agreement on parity prices, gave it as his opinion that the grower might benefit more without an agreement than with one. And that appeared to be the view of the manu facturers whose representatives have been in conference in Washington. Hutson indicated. Frank W. Hancock, of Oxford, *’on gressman from the fifth North Caro- i lina district, mentioned 2? cents as a probable average for this year's crop. C. T. Hail, of Person county, head of a farmers' organization that has been active in behalf of price improvement, ; mentioned 25 cents as a possible price average for the year’s crop. Representatives of the manufactur ers conferred with AAA officials in Washington last Tuesday with refer ence to a marketing agreement, and a further conference was held there today with AAA officials, growers 1 and manufacturers' representatives ' participating The shortage of the crop, even un der contract quotas and Kerr act allowances, due to unfavorable weath er during the giowing season, might conceivably make the Kerr act inope rative and make it unnecessary to en force these provisions, except as a mat ter of complying with the agreements. Hutson indicated that the crop would probably be less than anticipated, and that AAA officials were watching the situation and prepared to meet condi tions as they arise as the crop nears harvest and sale. Markets open next Wednesday in the Georgia belt, where the crop is less than half that of last year. < ■ LI P°y tf\yvl> 4 A SUGGESTION for SUMMER iH JG SUMMER’S pleasures will be multiplied if you can lock up your home—at any time —without worrying about the safety of your valuables.

The rain prevented still greater damage, however, und saved for the farmers a large portion of their crop. Indications are that the crop will cure out a quality of weed that will be only fair. Some curing has already taken place in this county, but ig has not been started on a large scale and will not be for seberal weeks. The , crop has not matured by any means yet, and most of the curing that has been done is of bottom leaves from the stalk, which were pulled to pre bent further deterioration of that part of ths plant. The crop will produce a quality of leaf much above what appeared to be in prospect a week ago before the lains came. There is every indication, however, of a smaller yield than had j been anticipated, due to V*?.ther j during the dry season. At first there , was too much rain, and then too much drought, and the growing plants had to fight both conditions since they were set in the fields. Workers who busy for 10 days checking acreage planted under the contracts signed with the AAA have found next to no irregularities, and where there has been excess acre age it has been only in small fractions and evidently errors of judgment on the part of the growers. There has been general compliance with the agreements here, it is understood. Obercast skies; promised further rains after those of Thursday, and whether they come or not the season was good for the crops, in that there was no baking of the soil after the downpour in Thursdays thunder storm.

To give you some idea of the camp we are in, I'll tell you a little about it. Camp Jackson has 20 barracks with mess halls and numerous mess halls without barracks. It is very modern and up-to-date camp. You can't imagine the prestige of the Service Company until you see it in camp. We have a very efficient outfit and we supply the medical regi ment with general supplies, which is a part of our duty here now. The regiment furnishes officers that check on every thing that on and the mess halls are checked very close and as for cleanliness. I think the National Guard camps hold a very high standard. The Service Company baseball team defeated the 114th Hospital Company Wednesday afternoon 14 to 1. Clair borne Iscoe was on the mound for the Henderson outfit with Duoglas Pulley catching. Emit Roberson hit the only home run of the game. The team hopes to remain undefeated at camp. Curve At Standpipe Widened The sharp and dangerous curve in the Andrews avenue at the standpipe is being widened by some six or seven feet, and in a short time much of the danger that has hitherto existed at that point will have been removed. The city street force, under direction of W. M. Coffin, street superintendent, is doing the work. The curbing has been set back six feet at the apex of the curve and not only gives more room for traffic but likewise eliminates the sharp inside curve. The work is being done direct ly in front of Mr. Greenway’s home. The city paid him $75 for the land in volved in the widening of the street.
