The people who are going to try
tobacco growing this year had
about arranged to lease the screen
factory buildings to use them for
drying the tobacco. But about
this time some local promoters
also concluded they wanted the
screen factory buildings-for what
purpose no one seems to know
and the owners of the property
concluded that there were SO many
people anxious for the buildings
that they would not make any
lease at present. This will inter-
fere somewhat with the plans of
the tobacco growers but the matter
will be given a thorough. test,
anyway. The barns necessary to
the curing of the tobacco leaf, is
an important item in getting that
commodity ready for the market.
