C01IDITIQN OF
j; THE TOBACCO CHOP.
rOf course there are difference
of opinion as to the tobacco crop,
because the crops on plantations
differ, but taking it as a whole we
believe the tobacco crop in this
section is going to be a very good
one, with the present prospects
good for a bright crop. In some
secrions there has been too much
rain, while in others the last ten
days rain has wonderfully helped
the crop.
In the Concord section, proba
bly all things considered the most
progressive section of the County,
they will have the best crops they
have had in., several years, yet
their crop is nothing to be com
pared to the crop in the section
south of Hurdle Mills. In that
section it is said they have the
finest crop ever, and it will be re
called that there they have had
good crops the past two yeers.
. Altogether, with the prospects
for a fair crop and evidences that
the price is going to be high will
cause many a John Henry to be
sold during the fall, and especially
since the sweeping reductions in
