TOBACCO CROPS
AND LEAF SALES
North and South Carolina Mar
kets Having Large Sales-Lat-
ter Nearly Sold Out.
SUN-cURED OF FINE QUALITY
Late Rains Damaging in Old
Bright Belt-Sales Through
out the State.

The skies are Frightening somewhat
in the leaf tobacco universe. and from
nearly every part OF the tobacco grow
ing regions come more favorable re-
ports concerning the crop OF 1911. The
auction sales of the new crop com
menced in the South Carolina markets
the first week in August, and the crops
of that State have nearly all passed
out OF irst hands. Because OF the
shortness OF the crop the South Caro-
linians got the best prices for their
bright leaf they have ever received
since they went back on cotton and
commenced raising the weed.
In the eastern section OF North Car
olina the farmers commenced to mar
ket their leaf late in August, and since
the first of this month they have been
selling very rapidly The crops in
that region We're also short. and prices
have ranged high SO far.
In the old bright belt of Virginia
and North Carolina the farmers have
had worse luck than in any other Sec
ton OF the tobacco growing country.
The drought was bad on them, and
just as they were getting we'll started
in cutting the rains came and the weed
that was yet on the hill took a second
growth. the leaf spreading out largely.
The result of this is that much of the
and reddish. and this will materially
affect it's value.
In Southside Virginia where the long
dark and brown leaf is grown, the
rains have been very advantageous, and
the size and weight of the crop has
been increased not little. In the
sun-curing regions the growers are
no longer in the dumps about the erst-
while drought damage. The rains baNe
helped them considerably. and the re-
ports from all the sun-curing counties
are to the effect that the crop will pan
out in pounds much more than was be-
licved to be possible month ago, and
as to quality. the opinion is that 1t
Will be the best sun-cured crop that
has been &" thered in several years.

growers are now busy cutting every
plant that Is ripe. and the only fear
they have at present Is that an early
frost may possibly catch some of their

consequently be much slower in ripen-
ing.
