Indications are that this year's crop will be much larger than that of 194(, when many of the acres allotted to ihe county were not used due to the lack of plants. Three recent hailstorms fell in the Fines Creek, Iron Dull and Cruso areas, with very little dam age done except in lower Iron Duff, according to Mr Corpening. In general the tobacco is in very good condition at this time. Measuring teams for the Agri cultural Administration have turned in reports on 704 farms of Ihe 1,741 growers who have allot ments, according to Miss Mary Sue Crocker, chief clerk at the AAA office. About one in every 10 farms has recorded an excess planting, aver aging about two-tenths of an acre: although several places have not planted their complete allotments. Growers who overplant have the choice of cutting down and receiv ing price support from the govern ment, or paying market penalties on their excess tobacco. Over the burley section of North Carolina, estimates have placed the crop at a 16.5 per cent increase over last year. Reports of measuring teams have been turned in for all of Clyde township and parts of Waynesville, Crabtree, Jonathan Creek and Beaverdam.
