The tobacco crop of 1880, ss We said in
a letter to the lNTELLIGENCER q couple Of
months ago, is, in this neighborhood, above
the average, both in yield and quality.
Since the weed has been cut the growers
Of it have been giving their time to curing
it, in which, from all reports at hand, they
have been as successful as when working
it while still in the field. The result is that
every farmer about here has his to-
bacco house we'll filled and is justified
in expecting a good price for it. 1t will
not now be a great while before we com
mence reporting sales and indeed VIC will
be greatly mistaken if these sales do not |
follow one another in quick succession un-
til the whole crop changes hands. On Sat-
urday two tobacco buyers called on Henry
Wisler, residing but short distance be-
yond the borough limits, and examined
the excellent tobacco grown ON his farm,
but we have not heard what will result. |
These are the first purchases We have !
heard of being made here. but know that !
others will follow, and that too very soon.
