To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In an item Of news from Petersburg in

largcs, and most successful brlght-to-
bacco farmers IN North Carolina. ana his
purchase Of these farm. means more than

development OF an interest that should

f.. VI Rogers stuck the first plant Of
bright tobacco In South Carolina. The
crop there this season Is estimated As
hlgn as 100000 pounds IL Is amazing Why
this step has not been taken years ago
by Virginia farmers In this section, ana
especially around two great tobacco CEN
tres like Petersburg and Richmond. Can
there be any question about tho adapta-
bility OF the soil? None whatever. Mr..
Knott is too practical and too shrewd
farmer and business man TO be misled on
this line lie has bought his land cheap,
and no knows its value and what II IS
good for All east OF the Petersburg and
Weldon railroad, and especially in Surry
and Sussex counties, there is as tine

after Richmonds interest should see that
the farmers OF Eastern Virginia be fur

are the sole topic Of conversation among
yachtsmen. While every true American
hopes that the Defender. IL she should

Of importance. Here are some OF the

them not little. and | have no doubt
they have turned out very powerful

asked what ne thought about the De-

"You cannot tell much about II now. be-
cause you might say II is any mans race.
