green leaves. Above, Howard Pope of the Cedar Grove

Tobacco, Orange County’s biggest crop, brings its
farmers about $2.4 million a year, as compared to $1.4
million for dairying, the next bigget source of farm
income. The outlook on the approximately »,ooo acres
of tobacco in Orange this season is for about i,5oo
pounds of cured leaf to the acre. It’ll probably bring at
least a $.55 per pound average—or $800 to $1,000 an
acre. News Photo
