Every Pound will be Needed.

Some persons disfavor our tobacco
planting theories by declaring that as
soon as our people enter into it freely
the supply will exceed the demand. A
very great mistake. The demand is al
ready far in advance of the crop, and is
swelling daily. Reflect a moment.
Every year increases the population of
the United States by about one million
persons. The increase for the past ten
years is more than ten millions. OF
course the increase must be greater
henceforth. because the natural increase
of fifty-two millions is greater than for
ty millions.
But this is not the main point the
tobacco hal.it is growing daily. Fifty
| years ago, not above one man in ten
used tobacco. Thirty years ago, about
one man in six used the weed. To-day
the proportion IS one man in three, or
perhaps even worse. Young sprouts
now smoke ha'f a dozen cigars per day,
whose fathers walked behind the barn,
and shut their eyes, before venturine to
take a chew.
A third feature to swell the demand
is the expectation of tobacco to foreign
countries. The single towns of Dur
ham, Henderson, Winston, Oxford, ETC..
now send out of the State more tobacco
than was raised in the State thirty
years ago.
