Vestal, County Agent ) As the Hurley tobacco market does not open for a month .. et, we. can not tell very much about the price we may expect to get. However, we need not expect the .'50c average ol' last! year. On the other hand, i <lo not think the price will be nearly as low as the bright tobacco is selling for in I Eastern Carolina. None of us cau fully realize the: value of spending a little extra Lime in grading the tobacco properly. As there arc live major grades, and as the buyers buy on these grades, it is important that the tobacco is so grad ed. If these grades are not made, the buyers pay low a plenty, so that they can have this work done. 1 have been trying all the fall to get Mr. Floyd, the State Extension specialist, but have been unable to do so. However, I will be at the follow ing places next week to help give [grading and tieing demonstrations: Tuesday, 28th - Roy Cowan's, Web ster, 9 a. ni. J. L Jones', Addic, 2 p. in.
