GuILFORD COUNTY.

Mr.. ]. F. Jordan, of Greensboro, says:
l. About IS per cent.
2. Usually bright though this &cems to
be a good medium crop of stock suitable
for home manufacturers.
8. An answer would be purely guess
work.
4. About the same, would think
5. Fully so per cent higher on most
grades.
g. | cannot say. l have none of the
figures at hand for above years.
The above questions open up very in
teresting matters. For several years
the American Tobacco Company has
practically controlled the produce of leaf
tobacco. They pursue their unwise course
of putting the price so low as to drive
everybody from the farms who could leave
to the cotton mills and furniture fac
tories when business was active, and
they could secure profitable employment
for themselves and families, thus making
labor so scarce as to render it impnS-
sible to produce a large crop now. The
trust realizes it's error and is now pay
ing better prices, but in my judgment it
will cost them three times as much money
to get labor back on the farms as they
made in driving it off.
But by far the most interesting phase
of the situation is the fact that the trust
has invaded England, and in seeking a
monopoly over there. This is the most
serious proposition they have been up
against and right now, if the truth was
known the foxy Mr.. Duke would give two
years profit of his concern if he had only
remained on his side of the fence, or
rather the water He is now endeavoring
to buy all the stock of leaf in order to
cut the English manufacturers off from
their supply of raw material. But the
Englishman is bull headed, as a rule, and
very logged in his determination. 1t
may take him year or two to find out
what to do, but he will find it out and
then accomplish his object or butt his
brains out in the attempt. In the mean
time it makes things look brighter for
the farmer for a few years at least,
while the leaf dealer and Independent
manufacturer are in the predicament the
old darkie was when he lost his mother
in-law: "Nothin' don't make no differ
ence no how"
Mr.. W. 1. Underwood of Greensboro, N.

supposed that the bright tobacco could

belt for growing bright tobacco has wild
ened to keep pace with the increased de-
mand for the manufactured tobacco made
OF the yellow leaf.
The price of leaf tobacco has been
higher this season than for several pre-
vious years, though the crop has been
short. Why is the price higher? How
large is the crop? What was the acreage?
Is it a profitable crop? These are impor
tant questions, not only to the growers
Of tobacco, but to all the people of North
Carolina for, next to the cotton crop,
it is the largest money crop grown in
North Carolina
ed below, sent to tobacco farmers, to-
bacco dealers, proprietors of tobacco
warehouses, tobacco manufacturers and
others enjoying special advantages to
know about the crop, we print below a
mass of valuable information.
Based upon this information the News
and Observer is justified in saying that
the tobacco crop in North Carolina is
less than rs per cent crop.
2. The acreage is SO per cent of last
years acreage.
8. The tobacco is light as compared
with last years crop.
A. The average number of pounds
grown per acre this year has been $40
pounds.
s. The prices are 81 per cent high

g. The amount of tobacco sold has
fallen off in all the markets.
Z. Tobacco culture is not so profitable

Very little tobacco is made in this
immediate section. Some few have tried
