FOR TOBACCO FARMERS TO CONSIDER
Mr.. w. Z. Dibreil, tobacco editor of the
Richmond Times, speaking of the tobacco
movement among tobacco farmers to Sc
cure a reduction in the cost of selling to-
DaccO, by the establishment of Alliance
warehouses and otherwise, says the proper
course to adopt is to reduce the acreage
plant less and cultivate better. There is
food for thought in the suggestion. Mr..
Dibreil says:
Tobacco farmers, especially in the bright
sections, are using every effort to reduce
cost Of selling tobacco, but we think the
same effort to reduce acreage would be
far more beneficial in comparison. Coop
GRAFTON in this matter would do absolute
good. The OverproductiOn is the cause of
| low prices ; the saving would be in lesser
| production, and not SO much money will
ever be saved i'll mere charges. Very few
warehouses or sellers have ever gotten rich
! Oh them.
| From all appearances Cooper is selling
| more tobacco than any warehouse ill North
! Carolina. Big sales, big prices and big
averages every day.
