SALES MADE
PRIVATELY
Several Big Tobacco Crops Have
Been Sold This
Week.
COMPARATIVE YIELDS, ACRE.
One Farmer Reports Yield of
$1O1.50 An Acre at
$725.
COMPARATIVE YIELDS, ACRE.

Tobacco receipts continue light
this week on account of the severe
weather conditions, but there is un-
doubtedly a better tone to the
market.
Several large crops have been sold
privately at prices ranging from 81. .25
to $3.50 round. In one neighbor-
hood three of the leading farmers
have sold at these prices. One of
these farmers has furnished the Ken
tuckian with some comparative fig
ures on the crops of 1913 and 1914.
In 1913 the yield per acre was only
800 to 1,0O0 pounds and he sold at
$500 round, realizing S72 per acre.
In 1914 the same land yielded 200
to 1,500 pounds an acre and the to-
bacco was much better quality. 1t
would have brought SO or $40 last
year, but this year he sold it at from
SIPS to $3.50 per 100 and the yield
per acre, on the very same land, was
$101.50, or $29.5O better than the
previous year.
This is not a bad showing and to
some extent answers the claim that
present prices are ruinous.
This conversation is not reported
to induce any farmer to sell his crop
at loss, but it would be we'll for
those holding crops to figure little
on acreage and the money value of
the crop as compared with the in
different crop of 1913. The price is
too low, but there is no certainty
that luxuries will vance in price
along with food stuffs and tobacco is
classed as a luxury. Those who have
sold believe that it is the part of
wisdom to sell the present crop at
market prices and then grow another
crop. That it is bad time to tie up
good money in something that is a
drug on the domestic market.
Clarksville, Tenn. Jan. 20.-Little
change is noted in the loose floor
tobacco markets over last week.
Something like $4,000 pounds of the
weed was sold here Tuesday morning
at from $2.25 to $3.75 on lugs. while
leaf was worth from $3.50 to $10.50.

Halloween Suggestions.

With the approach of the time of
the year when witches infest the land
and hobgobiins prowl at night. the
hostess begins TO search her brain for
UNIQUE ways of entertaining, and fa-
vors for the guests. For invitations,
regrets or atceptances. the clever
woman uses Halloween paper, which is
yellow or tan with decorations Of
witches, cats. oW Is and other appropri-
ate emblems in red or black.
Crepe paper plays an important part
in the decorations for Halloween fes.
tivities, and may be used as a border
on a tsblecloth or to cover a lamp
shade.
other paper novelties include paper
napkins and dishes for serving the
feast.
A pretty place card shows small
child holding a jack-o'-lantern. which
may be pushed up to cover the face,
and this is possible by making the arms
movable. Place cards look attractive
when placed over the rims of the
glasses on the table. and may be made
in the form of owls. pumpkins and
the usual designs.
Children may be entertained by any
number of clever little tricks, which
will give them an unlimited amount of
happiness. For solder people, boxes
shaped like pumpkins and filled with
candy make acceptable favors.
Then, too. for Hallowe EN-, the boxes
that are such good limitations af vari-
Gus sweets-a chocolate eciair. q straw
berry tart and other dainties- are
very appropriate. either for ices or for
