Good Pros peels for Martin
County Farmers to Make
Money on This Year's Crop
(Julius S. I'cel)
The Martin County Farmer- has a
fair chance of making some money
on his fall crop, provided there is ut
continuation of prize stabilization, mm
at the present time all indication
point to firm juices on all farm i• M>
ductsfi provided the quality is ap
parent.
The writer impressed the idea i 1
many articles last winter the neces
sity of higher grades of farm product
not only ii utile raising of same I.
also in the harvesting and today moM
any produce buyer wil Itell you thai
it is quality that will bring the nione\
this -full, l'oor grades of tobacco, \\
muggy peanuts, and damaged cotton
HI sweet potatoes will not he worth
the price of bringing to the market
However a careful survey of crop
conditions in Martin County show that
the crop nuality is superior to last
year, and that the farmers are goii,
to take more precautions in harvest
ing.
The Wiliiamston Tobacco Market
opening in a couple of weeks promises
to have a full representation of buy
«r>, and bj a niimber of local change-,
the tobacco men claim thej hu\e comb
tions of selling much better than last
\?ar. One o ft lie loading tobacco buy
ers on the jnarket promises good
prices for good grades, and it is un
understood that his Cotnpanj will g i
the limit in this line.
No doubt Willianiston will have tli-
most successful tobacco season of i f
history, and the prices will averagi
higher for equal gradif. than >r. larg_
er markets. The greatest mistake of
itcal farmers is to haul their tobaci
IVJ.IIV miles away to a n-ut RAI vvaie
lioiike where tnere is alre,i I. ,-i'ch ,m
in a h tobacco there is no .•«>i»11 tton
f r any- particular piles th * most
tiie most logical thing in tlie.worl.
that a .small market with a 'ul! |iioti.
of buyers is the place to sell tobacco,
fo • each buyer must liavo a ieitair
itnii utit. and there is nine spiiiP;'

The cotton crop continues to deter
iorate, not only 4i Cerogia and the
Carolinas but also in Oklahoma, Tex
as and other states. If this deterior
ation continues, the final yield will
lull tar short of, the Government's
estimate of K,203,000 bales. It is re
ported that private bureau's estimate
of the crop conditio nat this tira*
is 51 ped cent, normal, indicating a
yiel dof 7,4(H),000 bales, or nearly
1,000,000 bales les sthan the Govern
ment's first estiate.
Hut the course of the market will
probably be governed by three factor*
Whetehr or not the Federal Reserve
Hunks will assist framers to market
their cotton over a period of several
months instead of being compelled to
sell as fu -1 us picked; whether or not
the demand will be sufficient to force
prices up, or whether or ot the weath
er will boll weevil conditions continue
so unfavorable that the yield will be
even smaller than than present con-
ditions inndicate.
It is unlikely that cotton grading
from Strict Low Middling to Ordinary
will decline much, if any, from the
present level. On the other hand,
there Is it good chance 'or these
grades to advance, liecau-e the dif
ferences in price between the lower
grit dew- are uttH tmrwide. If the 1921
crop is picked as fast as it opens
then» will lie few low grade.--, and this
will result in a narrowing of dif
ferences, which means that the owners
of such cotton will profit matciially.
Japan was one of the first coun
tries to exneiience a financial crisis
following the world war. It >'« interest
ing to koiiw that this country ha?
recently bought heavily of cotton in
the south, and every one hopes that
otheV Far-East and European coun
tries will soon l>e able to enter our
markets. If they are, no doubt Ameri

UIVKRTISING i» Not NECESSARY
A merchant in u nearby town told

lake themselves an honest m**U. for
a hungry chicken, and the hen won
