Passing through Amelia county not
long ago l saw merchant farmer
loading sheep In a car, and very fine
sheep they were-a full carload of
them. had never heard that Amelia
was much of a sheep raising county,
and SO inquiry was made. and here are
some of the facts elected: 4 man
who owns a splendid grass farm in
Albemare county wantet, to stock 1t
with nrst-class sheep. He found them
In Amelia, not far from the county
seat. He bought them, paying good
price. and when saw them being
loaded on the cars it was for shipment
TO Albcmarle county. The seller. Mr..
Stacey, has demonstrated that the best
of sheep can be raised in Amelia and
the industry, l am told is growing
rapidly since Mr.. Stacey set the pace.
The time was when people had an
idea that sheep could not be prohtably
raised in Soutnslde Virginia, and too
many people have that idea yet. The
fact is, so Mr.. Stacey thinks, that
the Sonths'de Is the best part Of Vir-
ginin for the sheep industry. But O,
the worthless ours! That is the trouble
Can we ever get n prohibition law that
will prohibit the cur-raising Industry?

LEAF TOBACCO is .
NOW VERY SCARCE.
Sales OF the Past Week Were
Very Light-No Burley
Left.
PACKAGE DEALERS ON DECK
Less Than Million Pounds OF
Sun-Cured in Hands OF
Growers.

The sales Of loose leaf tobacco on the
floors OF the Richmond warehouses dur
ing the sales days OF the past week
amounted to not over 100000 pounds
all told. The greater part of the Offer
inGs were OF good grades of sun cured
coming direct from the barns OF the
growers OF near by counties. Other
dark ttobaccos were scarce and the Bur-
ley goods offered footed UP but a few
thousand pounds. All the leaf offered
sold we'll. especially the sun-cured
stocks One of the warehousemen es-
Inmates that less than a million pounds
of the sun cured goods remain in the
hands of the growers. Another ware
houseman puts it at more than a half
million pounds. Possibly both are
mistaken. but there is no getting
around the fact that there is less of the
weed in the barns than the manufacture
,ers' would like to see.
The Burley crop Is about exhausted
and the buyers look for little or none
of this type from now on.
The handlers of hogshead goods had
fairly good business during tho week
Reports from all of the Virginia and
Carolina markets are of the same gen
eral tenor as those from the Richmond
market. Leaf tobacco remaining In
the hands OF growers and yet to be
sold Is exceedingly scarce.
