Page Pour THE PILOT, Aberdeen and Southern Pines, North Caroling Friday, September 16, 1U32. Tobacco Average in August Was $12.10 Prices Disappointing oi Border iMarket#; Considerint; Fall ing Off in Production Moore County Fair Officials The tobacco warehouse sales for August show the same number of warehouses operating as last year, while the farmers’ sales of 11,G85,- 651 pounds compare with 20,202,027 ^ pounds a year ago, accordin}; to the Federal-State Crop Reporting service, j The average price for this year was $12.10, as compared with .$12.83 last year. ' In consideration of the shoi-tage in production and sales, this does not ■ indicate early the improvemet in price ' expected. Chadbourn averaged the highest price, with $13.80 per hun dred, while Whiteville was a close ‘ second. The August sales were 57.61 per cent ol’ last year's first hand sales for August, w-hile the total sales were' 58 per cent'. The Crop Reporting Service says the, bright leaf tobacco crop of North Carolina has had adverse conditions from the start of the seed beds. The planting conditions . were extremely varied both as to time and quality of plants. The weather conditions during July and August have been record breakers for heat and drought. The early August rains were tremendous ly helpful, especially in the Old Belt. A month ago the crop fo rthe entii'e state was estimated at 560 pounds per acre as compared with 582 for Sept. 1. This 22 pounds increaff indi cates 11,500,000 pounds larger crop, making the total expectation 277,032,- 000 pounds. Reports indicate that the quality of the crop was impro\’ed considerably by -the early August rainfall. The good prices reported being paid on the auction markets are not due so much to the general upward trend in price levels, but rather to the short age of the crop. For instance, the pres, ent prospect is only 57 percent of last year’s production. Not only is the to tal production greatly reduced, due to a smaller acreage, but the yield per acre is reduced by 16 percen in weight. Many curing barns are idle this season. County Fair Opens • at Carthage Oct. 11 Premium List Out for Large Numl)er of Exhibits by Young and Old CHARLES .1. MCDONALD, I’inehurst E. H. GARRISON, Vice I’residont SAYS THIN TOBACCO MUST HE DRIED OUT MORE SLOWLY One local tobacco grower reports that experiments in drying out this year’s thin leaves have revealed that better results are obtained by stttp- ping up the temperature more slow ly than ordinarily. This year’s leaf is , unu.s.tally thin due to the long dry! spell, and this farmer states that his usual method of drying out (at 100 degrees for 48 hours, then step-! ping the temperature up five degrees ; every eight hours) does not work.
