The situation in Vernon county is
thus described by the Censor:
A considerable moderation is yet on in
the tobacco deliveries and handling in
this community. After the first of the
year there will be activity all along the
line. There is not little uneasiness on
part of both growers and buyers over
the condition of the weed that was re-
moved from the poles during the late
long period of case weather. Few crops
are found without more or less wet and
damaged goods, and in some instances
crops are practically worthless. In or
der to adjust and do justice to both sides
there should be tolerance and modera-
ton in settlement between those con-
cerned.
