r Jl iki U fcif 4 l::o Tc!::cco Su?3rvi$or Writes About Wallace Tobacco Market By JOHN SIKES . Wallace, Sept ,1. la the tobac co business like everywhere else, it's the pennies that count Mindful that enough pennies put together add up to a whole lot of dollars, farmers of this area are looking forward with happy hope to the second week of the tobacco marketing season which gets under way Tuesday at 9 A. M. after a long week end rest because of the Labor Day holiday today. : The Wallace market, as its had the habit of doing for many years, topped the top figure of $43.34 by nearly $2.00 per hundred. The Wal lace figure for the first five days of the sales, during which time the market sold more than a mil lion pounds of the weed, was $45.25 per hundred pounds. There must be a good reason for this. Wallace is one of the many markets in the Eastern Belt, yet it shows a price average of exactly $1.91 per hundred pounds higher than its sister markets through out the belt When confronted by these figures today, a couple of farmers who are getting ready for sales next week opined that the Wallace marketeers are all veter an warehousemen who are thorou ghly familiar with the business in this section and that they're all working together with one goal in view: the highest possible dollar for the farmers who, after all, go to all the drudgery and expense growing the tobacco in the first place and who, therefore, should be given the utmost consideration In the sale of tobasso: "Wallace," one of these farmers said for quotation, "has always been at the top, or darned near it, nn Jll John Verzaal 016 S. 17th St, Wilmington J.

The warehouse boys seem to put on an extra mite of steam to try to get those extra pennies that mount up to dollars that might mean the difference between break ing even even losing money on a tobacco crop and picking up a few dollars profit" Whatever the reason the "ware house boys" referred to by this farmer are seeming to "put on an extra mite of steam". And it's probably only fitting that they're brought into print again for a bow. These Wallace "warehouse boys" are A. E." (Rack) Rackley, A. H. Carter and John Chestnutt, of New Duplin warehouse; O. C. (Oscar) Blanchard and W. H. (Bill) Far rior, of Blanchard and Farrior's: and W. L. (Bill) Hussey, George D. Bennett, and Joe H. Bryant, of Hussey's Nos. 1 and 2. As indicated, the Wallace markei opens its second week of sales Tuesday morning. And farmers hpipahouts are expecting that with better grades of tobacco being of fered the Wallace price average may top even the $45.24 average of the first week and then go on to keep ahead of the other markets in the belt. That's something the market has been doing for year? and years. Sow Ladino Clover Soon Ladino clover is a Godsend to farmers and dairymen.
