ABOUT. THE TOBACCO CROP.
OutlOk Bright for Tobacco Trainers
This Year.

This Year.
The recent order Of the British
American Tobacco Company reduc-
ing the working time to five days has
been rescinded because that company
received an order for forty million
cigarettes to be shipped to China, and
other Oriental countries.
This bears out the contentious of
the advocates of tobacco raising in the
Pee Dee sections, where fancy
bright tobacco is grown. The de-
mand for fancy bright tobacco has
been increasing by bounds and the
supply has been diminished greatly.
The Petersburg. Virginia, tobacco
factories export practically all Of
their products, and reports from that
city state that the manufacturers are
very optimistic as to tobacco exporte
saying that conditions are improving
with brighter outlook. The European
war has evidently increased the de-
mand for tobacco.
The Sumter. Clarendon, Lee county
TOBACCO farmers have a fine oppor-
tunity this summer, if they are par
ticular as to quality, care in harvesting
and curing. =.
The country wide prohibition or i'm
perial band on opium using in ORR
entail countries, China in particular,
has created an immense demand for
tobacco, cigarettes in particular being
in demand.
Fancy bright eastern Carolina to-
bacco is used largely in blending and
colOring with other tobaccus 1t
looks like tobacco growing will be as
profitable, If not more profitable. than
any other crop for Sumter county
farmers this year.
