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,

in the average price paid for to
bacco. 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.

are A. E." (Rack) Rackley, A. H.

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.

ty of scarce and high priced feed
In 1948 makes it doubly advisable
for every farmer to sow a small
patch of Ladino - - promptly. -
Unfortunately a sentence in our
current issue which should have
advised spring sowing of Ladino
"in Virginia and Western North
Carolina" appeared without these
qualifying words. Fall sowing is
preferred wherever cotton grows.
"Sow about a month before the
time the first killing frost is ex
pected in your section," our ex
periment stations advise.
