THE TOBACCO MARKET
OPENED WEDNESDAY
R| ].
The local warehouses wer*. filled to
their capacity Wednesday morning
when the tobacco market opened with
a large orps of buyer;; piesent. The
tobacco in general had an average
color but in most cases w,as poor in
texture, the poorer grades predomi
nating. The average a farmer received
depended upon what 'he had, some
averaging over thirty cents and some
under ten.
Prices ranging ./rom one cent ti
sixty cents per, pound wit han a\eruge
ol about fourteen cents. The weather
was hot and the houses wer» so badh
crowded the .sales were slow as a re
sult.
All the Companies were represented
und several independent concerns b.\
buyers. The peopHKgenerally and tin
buyers think prices would have beei
better jf the weather Jiuil been coolei
and the floors not so crowded. The
lirick Warehouse did not sell as the
other two houses consumed the en
tire day. One thing is certain, that
is if the farmer rushes his tobacco,
the buyer is jiot going to ruifli bi.-
price so if the framel expects a good
price he may as well take good car
of his tobacco i'.nd not dump it or
the market so fast that they buyers
cannot handle it. Nothing breaks ;i
jnaiket quicker than a glut.
If reports can be relied upon t •
tobacco crop is extremely shoil and
—there is no reason whatever fur price.,
to go down if the farmer will owh
""" refuse to dump it, in which case he
will get about what is coming to him,
which is nothing.

THE ENTERPRISE
Value of Fair is
[ Never Doubted
As to the value of f;iirs or exhibi
i tions, thereare hardly any conflict
i ing opinions. The highest Ideals
E> and best results in almost nil ut,
f dertakings aie attained through
i competition, u::J competition the
- very essence of exhibition spit it.
I They perform the yvork ol an e luca
-1 tor in nearly all brandies of human
? effort an educator by practical dem
ount! ut ion, patriotically, comnier
> ciallj, industriully r.rid otherwise.
As an institution' they are a con-,
crete expression of the districts. iSt
nation's material existence, a s>VN
■ bOlization of the spirit of the peo
ple, a tangible expression of the tut
I tional culture and life. Because they
are for the people, by the people,
they stand, perhaps, the most domi
nant monument »o our democracy,
the flpreseene of our social, industrial
«nd educational evolution, and pren
-1 nially improve and expand with the
nation's ever quickening march of
progress. And so, therefore, their ap
peal is ever increasingly magnetic,
compelling. In them are fused the
interests of all classes.- They are all
things to all, men, women and chil
dren, "a complete exemplification of
human development in skill, industry
and' intelligence."
Take just one brunch of effort
agriculture—which they say is the
basis of all porsperity. Live stock is
- essential —t-o—permanent—agriculture, -
the backbone of the industry in fact.
Who wil dispute the statement that
fairs have been the biggest factor in
perfecing the various breeders and
dealers to produce the proper types?
"What would have been the pres.
put status of the li vi«4pek industr)
if there had been no f&irs in the 1
last half century, no oportunity foi
comparison of animals, no real guide
to the proper type or essential qualifi
cations?" a leading Canadian breeder
was asked.
some-times approach
ing chaos would have existed but
for the education and amelioration
influence* of fairs," was theimraed
iate rejoinder. "Each breeder or own
er would hnve contended that his am
mills and methods were the best, anil
there being no higher court of appeal,
the matter would have remained un
sttled. One great benefit of fairs has
been Ibe unwritten adoption of cer
tain "standards" of excellence which
have been accepted and judging thus'
reduced to a;i almost exact science.
Exhibitions have I wen the groal
testing stations an ill lie very lie-H in
centive to the dealer, ho ■continued
"It's a question whether domestic ant
mats could long maintain a high,
standard of merit without the stimu
Ills und example of fuirs and exhibi
tions. When the country is strong it'
live stock we see development along
other lines. Hence the ramification
of fair scan hardly In conceived
o ilttwn the line ii to the varrme
branches of farming und the an.-wei
one receives to the question us to i
whether fairs are of value to agri- i
culture is equally emphatic as th;'t
given b ythe live stock man just
quoted If it i.s grain husbandry the
farmer finds his best lesson and in
spiration at the fair; if fruits are I
his specialty the same thing applies. 1
If he warts to see the practical He- '
monstration if the latest" thing in i
labor seving machinery for the farn I
equally useful is his fair, local or I
otherwise. In short there is no branch i
of endeavor that desires more benefit •
from fairs and exhibitions than> the i
fanning element. „ ,i
Yet note the inconsistency of the i
attitude of the agriculturist. It is the
farm press, in Canada at least, which
invariably leads the chorus when the
anival begins to rin>r out the old I
old story of the decadence of fairs j
through the alleged prominence or ,
dominance of the amusement end.

(THE PROPER SPIRIT
The confidence expressed by Un
people of this county has helped to
keep things in a good healthy condi

they hfjye stood firm ,they have not
shirked and run over. They have paid
their bills so far us able anil now when
tobacco money has commenced to stii
they are depositing a larger percent
age of their checks in the several
banks of the town than they have
done for several seasons. There is no
doubt but that our people have fully
determined to travel tlie safe road
and spend their money for something
worth while instead of throwing it to
,the four winds for gaudy toys. We
predict that in a short time the pain
of the panic will have passed a*vuj
and that we will all be feeling good.
