Burley Of State
Averaged 39.4c A
Pound Last Season
Gross sales of burley tobacco
in the nation during the year just
closed totaled approximately 606,
000,000 pounds at an average of
39.4 cents per pound or a moss
sales value of $238,800,000, W. P.
Hedrick, tobacco marketing specia
list with the State Department of
Agriculture, said Monday.
"However, adjustments of resales
will reduce the actual cash receipts
to growers, and total income from
burley will be much below the all-time-high
cash receipts of $260,
300,000 for the 1944 crop," said
Hedrick.
Peach Crop Is Up
47 Per Cent In N. C.
Peach production in North Caro
lina is estimated at 3,200,000 bush
els or 47 per cent more than was
produced last year, it is announced
by Russell Handy of the State De
partment of Agriculture.
"It should be pointed out, how
ever, that this is an estimate of
production for the entire Stale and
not just the commercial crop,"
said Handy.
Last year, there were parts of
the State which had almost com
plete failure that resulted in a
lower estimate than would appear
from the size of the crop grown
in the Sandhills. The crop in the
Sandhills promises to be about the
same as was produced in 1945.
Thrifty War Widows

Paling, to a group of Queensland
women who will reward them with
parcels of Australian food luxuries.
