Harvest Time Critical
In Tobacco Operations
Pull it ripe but not too ripe.
That's one of the keys to high
er profits from the 1968 tobac
co crop.
Another key tstoharvest when
enough leaves can be primed to
make the trip through the field
worthwhile. Cost of priming one
or two leaves at a tima can be
prohibitive.

to support a reduction In num

five or six to three or four.
With labor supplies and costs

Important problems for fann

In primings would help cut ex

A test showed that tobacco
harvested with the normal num

pounds per acre. It had a value
of $1,533 per acre and sold for
$63 per hundred pounds.
Where harvest was completed
in three primings, yield was
2,287 pounds, value $1,561 and
price per hundred pounds $68.-36.

Easter sales of retail stores
a,ain reached record breaking
levels this year. During the
seasonal buyln0 spree, .all types
of business flourished.
Of course newspaper adver
tising had a major part to play
in the record retail sales. And
both the newspapers and die
retailers who did the adver-.
tiding should be proud of their
roles In stimulating the com
munity economy.
Like Christmas buying, East
er buying is for the most part
unselfish. Easter gifts are con
crete expressions of love. The
wife who receives flowers or
candy once or twice a year
certainly does not feel like
her husband has been exploit
ed by advertising. She Is more
likely to thank advertisers for
jolting a complacent husband
into demonstrating his affection
and appreciation.

Business
pear to be an unjustified ex
travagance. However, for the
average consumer the Easter
purchase is a long delayed pur
chase. It represents the satis
faction of a need at a time when
fulfillment will mean maximum
enjoyment.
Most Easter buying Is for
goods which will be used and
enjoyed for months and perhaps
for years.
Easter advertising does not
spring the public willy-nilly on
crazy shopping sprees.
Like all good retail adver
tising, Easter advertising and
other seasonal advertising, tells
the people where they can jet
the things they want at the time
they want them most.
