Disaster
Eight hUDdred mlUIOD poiiuds of tiue-cured 'ibac-
co was produced last year and everybody, particularly
,every tobacro farmer, knows tfae result: prices that
[scarcely covered the cost of production. Another crop
j this year of slrellar proport{oikp. will pnly mean stlli
j lower price*.
But. according to reports coming In to the State
Department of Agriculture, that Is exactly what the to-!
bacco farmers are getting ready for. The acreage
planted to tobacco will be limited only by tbe credit
which the growers can get for buying fertitUer: even new
areas not heretofore counting much in the production
of tobacco, will undertake It this year; in spite of sit
wsrnlngs the tobscco farmers sre preparing to increase
their acreage.
It will be recalled that last fall tobacco went beg-
