Trying Season For
J C
Growing Tobacco
Tobacco farmers are agreed j
that greater difficulties are ex- j
perienced each year in the pro
duction of a leaf crop. The set
backs are so numerous that far
mers are about to get disgusted
with tobacco culture
At one tim<?. the farmer chose
his own time to plant his seed,
transplant the crop to the field
and harvest it. Now he has to
edge in between cold or rainy
spells, transplant when he can,
and harvest sometimes two and
three itmes a week to save his
crop. Marketing activities, at one
time more or less orderly, now
gluts the markets, and the price
fluctuates almost from one day to
the next
Tobacco culture has been a try
ing business for the farmers this
season, but the spring season next
year will find them making prep
arations for another crop.

Farmer - Laborer
Movement Started
Little lias been heard about it.
i but reports maintain that a move
ment is expected to follow before
jso many more years for a closer
| cooperation between the farmer
| and the industrial worker. The
i two groups have been maneuver
ed into separate camps, with some
body playing each group against
the other for his own gain and
purpose.
Whop the laborer receives
wages that will not permit him to
buy?t ho' I armor's?produce,? and "
I when the farmer isn't able to buy
i the goods manufactured by the
worker, the farmer and the labor
or are the first to feel the ill ef
I fects.
It has been pointed out that'
! when these two groups get to
gether, a forward step will have
been taken in our economic sys
tem.
