Thursday morn ing's Asheville Citizen tells ue that the average Apr 168,052 pounds sold in Asheville Wednesday was $23.14. In Gresneville Tuesday prices were exceedingly well pleasing to the f arm rs, but we have not been able to get the average. However, it must have been between 20c and 24c. Lexing ton, Ky. is reported to have opened Monday with an averlage of $18.67. As is always the case, some grades bring the average down. Some of the better grades were selling as high as 40c and a geat many of the tick ets were marked from 30c to 37c. The markets are not crowded due to the fact that the tobacco is too dry to be handled. aVESINTSFOR CHOOSING COLORS A great artist once said, "'When the Creator fashioned the humming bird and the butterfly, He gave them brilliant colors, but when He created the elephant, He made it taupe." The same rule may be used by women in selecting colors for their clothes, Said Miss Julia Mclver, as sistant extension clothing specialist at State College. Stout women should select dark, quiet colors to minimize the eize of their figures. For the unusually slim womtan -then ust be no thrift drab colon,'' no black or dark brown. Black has a slenderizing effect The slim woman may choose the lighter tones, pastel tints, warm though not brilliant hues. White and worm colors, red, orange and intermediates, give the effect of neaitaess and largeness. Shadowy textures seem farther away or small er. The colors worn must be consider ed in relation to the individuals col oring. People differ so widely in col oring, Miss Mclver said, that they cannot be classified simply (as blondes and brunettes. ... v . . Fori this reason it is impossible to recommend certain colors for blondes and others for brunettes and consid er the color problem solved. The safest way is for each person to try various colors next to the face, choosing colors which emphasize the best features without dalling atten tion to bad ones. If the eyes are the best feature, while the hair and eJcin are not so good, do not emphasize the eyes at the expenas of the hair and skin. The skin is the "first consideration, she said. 1936 LICENSE TAGS CHEAPER .

Farm Credit Adminis-" tration The 600000 farmers who own stock in the Fedeial land banks thro their national farm loan association in excess of $100,000,000 have built a permanent cooperative first farm mortgage system which is an impor tant factor in the fjarm lending field and as such will continue to have a wholesome effect on interest rates and terms oil farm mortgages. Thia statement was mode hei today by W I. Myers Governor of the Farm Cre dit Administration, at the annual 1 meeting of the Mortgage Bankers As- Governor Myerslted the fact that interest rates on form moitgages av eraged around 8 per cent 19 years ago when the banks' were chartered and that these permanent cooperative institutions since then made loans at 5 to 6 per cent on a natio'h-wide bas is. Following the establishment of the Farm Credit Administration, he said, rfites have been (pushed down to the all-tune low in this field 4 per cent. The Governor strewed the fact that these banks are net government banks that prior to the envrgenoy the Ifarm- ers owned tifaetksaUy 100 per cent oS the stock and that they now own near ly half, and the w(iy is open for them again to own them completely. "Because these banks have been temporarily called upon to handle e inergency refinancing loans from gov ernment-appropriated funds, there may be some justification for the mis belief thjat they are not cooperative and belong to the government.'' t'na Governor conceded. "People forget that the Federal land banks were es tablishd as flarmers' cooperative cre dit institutions. They have a 19-year record of making sound first mait- gage farm lo)ns, having built up a two billion dollar business on that basis and are continuing to make loans on cooperative .basis wjthoujt any s aentiftl change. ;'.- Jte-XIU- K--"These. banks hjave given farmers better terms than they could secure elsewhere not only as to interest rates but also the long teiwis for which the loams run and the provision for syste matic, orderly repayment in sma 11 in stallments. Compared with interest 'rates previously paid, farmers with Federal lland bank and Land Bank Commissioner loans will save over $55,OC'0,000 this year on interest a lone. "The total loans by the Federal land banks," he said, "now exceed $2,009,000,000. One out of every four mortgaged farmers has a cooper ative loan for the number of Feder al land bank loans now exceeds 600, 000. "Building along much the same lines as the cooperative Federal land banks, 560 production credit associa tions have been o'ganized land have been furnishing short-term product ion credit during the last two years, ow having loans outstanding amount ing to $110,000,000.
