The ame season that lias held back the general crops for at least a week have apparently rushed the ripening Jtobacco a week earlier than usual.

Tobacco Is Kinjj i.iaid that it was time to fill the milk jmil with baby foqd. The mind of the ci.uirt.ry could plainly be seen facing "i! another direction. Tobacco had grabbed the heart and the throat of tin country. There were loads of flues going in every direction, also ! rick to mend the old furnacesjjevi'ry i vehicle running close to the speed limit. Frequently a new barn was being finished, because it had to foe |io take care of the'premature ripen -1 ing of tobacco. y Breakfast time had not even come | when mules pu-ling tobacco trucks I through the fields, surrounded by I men and boys, both whits and black, | breaking the pi unit gs, could be seen I in field after field, arid streaks of | smoke could be seen coining from the flues of many barns that had already been fired up. lly this time the wo i r.ien and children hail gathered a round the barns and were handing and looping in double-quick time. They re the best of workmen, too. Scientists frequently ask how long can a man go without sleep. Tobacco farmers ?ay they have to go six weeks; and it is predicted that when var is fUft entirely by machinery that j tobacco curing will borrow Sherman's war definition. The paleness of many fields of to ' bacco has frightened its owner al | most as much'as the paleness of a j favorite son or a sweetest daughter J v ould do. Some of them lay the biarae for the sickly and impoverished ieok of their tobacco to poor ferti lizers, others to cool weather; while there are a few who are beginning to say that God knows best and only so n uch is best for the folks, after all. This seems to please them and give them, a new hope that the Ixird is go ing to give them good prices. Of course, they must not know the great difference between the Lord and a to bacco buyer. 1 There is at least one undisputed | fact to be deduced from a day's ob- S\lS BRIGHT-LEAF DEMAND TO CONTINUE Rocky- Mount, June 29.—The de mand for eastern Carolina bright j leaf tobacco will continue to be good | through the coming: years, while indi cations that the demand for dark leaf and turkey tobacco grown in the United States is gradually decreas ing, according to 1..

They figure it is eas iet to make money and then buy a Irving, which may be true. But too many of them are going to borrow a lot of that money from their living; that is, they will force their standard of living to a basis entirely too low for this advanced age of civilization, and force themselves—and their fam ilies, too—to make out with too little in order that they can create a pleas ure fund, which does not always pro duce the best or the proper living J conditions.
