The long dry spell Of weather was
| broken a few days ago with fairly good
| rain. The drought en- this section has been
| very severe, and has caused considerable
| damage TO tobacco I'm that 10 checked
| the growth OF late paintings and caused
| firing OF plants that were almost ma
| tured. The irreFularity in the growth
| this season Is making cutting more diff
| cult and expensive. and as a result but
very little tobacco has been housed. As
/ a rule the farmer prefers making a clean
sweep when he once starts In cutting.
| and this prOmisCuOus harvesting, we le-
| lieve, Is IN a measure responsible FOR tho
| large variety OF cOlors and the difference
| I'm length that is go noticeable in an large
| piles Of tobacco offered. To Is very diff
| cult Tor the FARMER 10 CLASSIFY his TOE
! bacco according 20 color and length when
a barn holding from 1900 10 1000 pounds
will very often have tobacco Of ten or
more different shades Of color, and vary
] ing I'm length from fifteen 10 thirty
! Inches. The average farmer makes three
| different grades Of his tohacco-"lugs
| leaf and regardless of length. Dur
| ing this season IL probably paid the farm
! or we'll 10 thus mix the different lcngtrs
| as shipping leaf was very active and the
! buyers were not very particular I'm MOTTO
| ing this fact i'm future. however, we m
| derstand they intend being very careful
| 20 avoid all mixed tohacc0so
Reports are being daily received from
| different sections surrounding Lynchburg
! bringing news OF damage by mail. but
| from oan we can learn we should not
! estimate the total thus destroyed at more
! than 10 900 pounds.
