CONSIDERS PROGRAM
Tobacco Men Believe Fair
Prices Will Be Paid for
Year’s Crop, Which Pro
mises 1 o Be Much Smaller
Th a n First Thought;
Greater Facilities Here
J. It. McDuffie, well known fer
tilizer distributor, who last year ser
ved a.; supervisor of sales for the
Henderson tobacco market for the
first time, has been re-elected to that
place by the Henderson Tobacco
Hoard of Trade for the coming sea
sen. it was learned today.
1,.! '' eason was one of the best in
recent years on the local market, and
Mr. M )utfio's work was so pleasing
that the tobacco men voted to con
tinue his services for another.
A meeting was held this afternoon
by the advertising committee of the
hoard of trade to lay the groundwork
tor a promotion campaign for the
rnhrt'et for this year. This committee
eon ists of G. W. Knott, W. J. Alston
a >d A. IC. Moore, all warehousemen.
Ham: they will meet with a commit
tee from the usincss men's organiza
tion cooperating in the campaign.
This committee has not yet been nam
ed for this year.
Popular subscriptions among the
business people will be sought for the
purpose of carrying on a program of
publicizing tlie market in all this sec
tion of the State. Last season saw the
most ambitious program of this type
t l>f market has had in many years,
and the experience gained at that
timr will be used to build upon for the
11)3(1 ampaign.
Pi spite of the fact that there i>
no compulsory crop control this year,
the ill ought of the spring so reduced
the size of the tobacco crop that fair i
p’ices are believed by tobacco men to!
t.o most likely, especially if the sea-j
sons are favorable for the remainder
of 'he growing period.
The Henderson market will have
much greater facilities than it has
ever had before for the handling of
tobacco. Whereas for many years
there have been only five* warehouses,
a new one is now in the process of
construction and will he in operation
during the 1936 season for the first
time, giving the market six large auc
tion houses for the handling of the
leaf crop.

“Boy, but there’s some real whiz

“If we could travel at that speed—

TOBACCO CROP NOW
SHOWING UP WELL
But Little Chance To Over
come Damage Done by
Long Dry Season
For the most part, the tobacco crop
in Vance county is now showing up
well, following the favorable seasons
of the past couple of weeks, although
there is no likelihood of the damage
done by the prolonged drought being
entirely overcome, according to obser
vers. The crop is making as good pro
gress us could be expected under the
circumstances.
Planting has been virtually complet
ed, except for scattered replanting
operations, and it is now too late for
that to be done longer.
Stands are not as even as would be
desired, and in some fields there i
tobacco in some five or six .stages o.
advancement, resulting from the vary
ing seasons and the difficulty in get
ting young plants to survive in the
droughty condition that prevailed
generally over the county up to twe
weeks ago. With the coming of much
needed rains, growers set to work t<
a'vag' the crop and to make tin
most of it possible.
Along with the growth of the to
bacco has come, however, a prolific
growth of grass, and growers have
■ eon kept busy trying to keep dowi
this menace to the crop they do ex
pent <c> make.
At rest the crop will he short ho
cause of the drought, and there is no
longer any expectation that the yield
in this county will or can be anything
like as large a« was at first expected.
Nature has stepped in to do what crop
control might have done under the
AAA. Estimates of the probable yield
for the year, assuming that seasons
will be favorable from this time on,
range from about 70 to SO percent of
a normal crop in this section, and
other estimates arc that the flue-cur
ed crop generally will not exceed
three-fourths of what it would have
beer had not the dry weather seared
young plants in the growing fields in
the four flue-cured states.
Last week’s heavy rains were fol
lowed. 'ey drizzles early this week, ac
companied by cool weather. While
there has been no seriously hot
weather this week, the past few days
hav > brought an abundance of clear
sunshine.
