Tobacco men of Richmond, ano
throughout the State are predicting that
The crop next year will be smaller than
any grown for some years. Their opin'
ion is that the farmers have come to the
conclusion that prices will be poor, ow-
ing to the lack OF competition for the
weed. They see that the American 10.
5acco Company and the companies allied
with it will not buy i'll competition with
he Imperial Company because they use
different grades Of tobacco. and, there.
| fore. there will be no competition to send
the prices up. Tobacco growers take
RESPONDENT view of the future, owing to
The, monopoly of the market secured by
the trusts, and it is probable that more
and more of them will turn their atten
ton to other crops. In some sections OF
| Virginia, where in recent years tobacco
was the staple crop, very little OF 1t Is
grown. and farmers are paying all atten'
| ton to corn and other grain crops.
