Williams Brothers are making the
tobacco business lively in Kirksville.
They have distributed very large
amount Of tobacco seed among the
tobacco growers of this county, and
their customers report them growing
finely. From the tobacco reports IN
other tobacco growing states, the indl-
cations are that tobacco will be a pay
ing crop this season. The highest
price they have paid for tobacco this
year is ) cents per pound, ana yet, at
this price, crops have brought their
owners $50 per acre. Their large
barn Is now filed with tobacco in ex-
cellent condition, and it will be ship
ped in June. Their sorter, Oscar Viii
liams, is without doubt the best IN the
country. The tobacco interest in Adair
county is 4 growing one, and we hope
to see a rich harvest in this crop next
tall.
