TOIuiwM, NO. 64 - ! I i V Long Dry Spell. We liave it from Col. W. B. Bal- Iii Modern Babvlon." There will be no Friday night ser- t u that good grades of tobacco are! r btraton delivers his great- ,1 J XI x il. . 1 i tn demand aim mai me Deuer grades of the Granville crop will bring good pnces. There is no telling at this writing how much good tobacco will be produced in Granville this season-. Of the fourteen million pounds of tobacco sold on the Oxford market lust season, nine' million pounds wore rated as "fair to good" and live million as "inferior." On ac count of reduced acreage and the drought there will not be more than t-tven million pounds in our county the next tobacco season. Eliminat- inir the "inferior" grades it is pos sible that there will be five million pounds of "fair to good" produced in Granville this season. On ac count of the demand for good to bacco the biding is spirited on the South Carolina markets for choice grades- The Oxford market pays six or eight cents more than does the South Carolina markets per pound for the fame quality of tobacco. Thus' our farmers may expect better prices in the fall than are now being paid in South Carolina, especially since our South Carolina tobacco. f Few things are talked more gen-) erally or more persistently in Oxford and throughout Granville at this time than the drought and the great need of rain to salvage tobacco and' corn, as well as vegetation in gen eral, which have been stunted in growth by the long dry season. It is estimated that the tobacco crou has been damaged 20 per cent in the last three weeks- Much curing has already been done, and much is in progress now. Corn is also suffering greatly from the long dry spell. Hopes for rain from day to day during the past ten days have been blasted when the sun precipitation whatever. ebi message at 4 P. M. Sunday.
