his acre of tobacco through the
Farmers' Warehouse of Asheville.
Fred Allison sold two and one-half
acres of tobacco with an average
of $1,352 through Joe Bryant Ware
house of Morristown.
Mr. Woody Stated that possibly
some other tobacco grower may
have received more per acre than
the winners, however, they over
looked turninp in their warehouse
bill to an officer of the bank and
no sales were considered in the
contest unless both the warehouse
bill and the check were presented
to the bank. Approximately 125
growers had had their check and
warehouse bill entered in the con
test. , Mr. Woody stated that so
much interest had been shown in
the contest that he felt quite sure
the directors of the bank would
approve some kind of tobacco con
test for this growing season.
