r 1MES, WILSON, N. C, Friday, June 14J921J JySjLOtA PX rNo- 35 $1.50 Per Year The WlIiSON GIGANTIi: RECORD IN TOBACCO SALE FOR LAST SEASON : CROP A THIRD LARGER Wilson Had a Good Lead in Total Sales Showing a Fifty Seven Per Cent Increase. Twenty Seven New Ware houses Make Total of Two Hundred and Four in State. UNIONS DEMANDING FORMER SECRETARY TO RE-AFFILIATE E UROPEAN S V I N ADVISE GRADUATES RESOLUTION INTRODUCED GIVE OPPOSITE ADVICE I Raleigh, June 16. North Caro lina stepped so high In her last year's tobacco crop that she simply split her skirt. The final season's sales record shows the crop was practical ly a third larger than the preceding year. She produced to much. Her increase of over 100,000,000 pounds brought $50,000,000 less than tor the 1919 crop. The March indications were for a reduction, indicating an acreage equal to the 1919 crop. When we think of a third reduction, it sounds tremendous, but it is robbed of its camouflage when realizing that only five years ago the state made 41 per cent of this last or record crop and that if the present crop is re duced a third it will be very little less than the previous year's pro duction. The season's sales as reported to the commissioner of agriculture, and compiled by the co-oprative crop re porting service, show that remark ably complete returns were made (99.8 per cent) from 68 markets by 204 warehouses in reporting 474, 249, 748 pounds of first hand sales for the season. The southern sum mer of loose-leaf markets sold 5.3 per cent, or 22,729,163 pounds, av eraging about 25 1-2 cents per pound, as compared with 20 cents for the sales beginning in September on all other markets. A remarkable feature of the sales is that the Danville, Va., market gets about one-fourth of her producers' sales from the North Carolina farm ers. Constructive estimates indicate 16,000,000 pounds of the crop were; sold on bordering markets in excess of that brought into the state for sale. The papt season showed eight warehouses closed from the former season and 27 new ones making a net increase of 19 of the 204 active warehuoses. , The average prices of the two last crops were $50.60 for 1919 and $20.74 for 1920. Roxboro's average of $30.07 per hundred .pounds led in price with Apex, $27.65, next. Winston-Salem and Wilson deserve equal credit for their wonderful rec ords. Wilson had a slight advantage in firsthand sales and a good lead in total sales, but Winston had a little margin on average price. The Pied mont market had a much better showing in the 83 per cent increase of sales over a year ago, since Wilson showeVut 57 per cent increase. This means . mere increase of 27,000,000 pounds for the Twin City sales.

Two In ternational Unions have demanded the convention of the Federation of Labor to instruct Samuel Gompers to re-afflliate immediately the federa tion with the international federa tion of trades unions. This became known today when the convention heard the resolution of the international association of machinists, firemen and oilers union. Both called for repudiation of the action of Gompers and the executive committee in severing relations with the European movement because of Its "revolutionary activities." As both resolutions were referred to the committee on international af fairs headed by President leaders predict it would be reported unfavor ably.
