The cameraman caught him in the act North Carolina Produces of lifting the front end of a farm tractor 384,000,000 Pounds in 1920 to permit it to pass a stump. Kaleigh, N. C. During January, the average price of the 56,470,843 pounds of tobacco sold on 44 markets in North Carolina, was over twenty cents per pound. This was an advance of three cents over the December sales and is less than two cents below the season's aver age. The month's sales from 140 ware houses were five times the amount sold for the same period of last year by 103 warehouses. Of almost fifty-seven million pounds of tobacco sold last month the 49,314,570 were for producer's' (first hand) at an average of $20.28 per hundred pounds. This was a substantial advance over the December average of $17.27. Thus it is seen that about ten million dollars were exchanged with the farmers for their to bacco last month. Winston-Salem made the best record in sales, amounting to 8,893,108 pounds, averaging $24.43 ; Wil son second with 6,398,184 pounds at $21.53 per hundred. Mebane led with best prices on 893,029 pounds, having averaged $35.63 cents on three floors there, Roxboro being second at $32.76 for 1,434,014 pounds. The 1920 crop was the largest ever produced in North Carolina. Already the first hand sales amount to much more than last year's crop. The Govern ment estimate of 384,000,000 pounds lacks but ten per cent of being reached if we count the North Carolina tobacco sold in Danville and border markets. Only 35,000,000 pounds is needed to meet the estimated production, wrhich is expected to check closely with the actual production, as it did last year. The season's average of 22 cents con trasts with 51 cents for last year's. The forecasted acreage to be planted last April showed fourteen per cent increase. Even though that was estimated before any tobacco was planted, it is still con sidered reasonable. The Crop Reporting Service will issue a 1921 prospectus dur ing March that might be helpful to the fanners in aiding their unfinished and puzzled plans for the 1921 planting. WOMEN'S ST.
