North Carolina is the native home of the
fine gold weed-the finest of all tobaccos
North Carolinas fine coal tobacco has
been sold in Virginia markets for quar-
ter of century, and resold as Virginia
brights. No state has equaled or can equal
North Carolina in the production of the
gold cured. Higher average prices have
been realized by North Carolina growers
than by any other state. We have given
averages in the past and In 1870 there were
ten farmers in Granville who averaged at
least $1,000 to every hand they employed,
and for tobacco alone. They raised wheat.
corn, potatoes, peas etc., in addition. Some
averaged more-quite $120O. One man made
himself $175O worth of tobacco in one year.
Three boys, the eldest is, raised $1,000 worth
IN one crop, after deducting all expenses.
The money investment in tobacco factories,
warehouses. ETC., is 6.OGO,O 600, giving daily
employment to 92,000 people, 'Rah for the
