Finest Crop In History Is Reported Haywood County's 1955 burley tobacco crop will bring approxi mately $1,200,(100, County Agent Virgil 1., Hollow ay predicted today on the basis of early estimates re ceived by bis office. Quality also will be "exception ally high." the county agent said, pointing out that county farmers had the best curing season this year since 1951, A total of 1.002 acres of burley tobacco have been harvested on 1.890 farms -a decrease from last year because of the sharp cuts in allotments made in the eight-state | burley belt. Last year. 1.341 acres of tobacco were harvested. The yield this year will average 1.975 pounds per acre as compared to 2.144 in 1954, one of the high est yields on record. Higher quality often results from lower yields of hurley tobaceo, Mr. llolloway explained. With county farmers now direct ing their attention toward grading and packing their tobacco for mar ket. the county agent urged grow I ers to be certain that the stems of ' burley leaves are thoroughly cur | ed before grading. As to market prospects. Mr. llol loway said there probably will be j a strong demand for red tobacco and for lower quality varieties. ! Higher quality leaf is expected to I be sold about at support prices, he I added.

LAWRENCE NEWMAN Pisgah Parkway Link Open This Weekend 'The 11-mile link of the Blue Ridge Parkway from Wagon Road Gap to Boech Gap will be open, on Saturday and Sunday of this weekend. The. link will be closed again from the 17th to the 21st. while contractors complete the final surfacing. The link will open again October 22 and remain open until closed for the winter. The winter closing usually comes about November 1 to 15, depending upon the weather, and thf amount of ice on the roadway. Officials said some color would be seen in Pisgah this week end, but it would be light The height of the color season in that area would be the 22nd-25th. Motorists using that, link of the Parkway this weekend might experience a slight delay in the event the contractor's crews are at work, making up for the four days lost last week due to weather conditions. The opening of the 11-mile link will afford a complete loop through Pisgah and back through Sherwood Forest via Bake Logan.
