HIGHEST PRICES ON
TOBACCO EVER SEEN
Farmers Already Planning Large
Crop for Yearbook for Good
Dark Tobacco Breaks.

Alberta, Va. Jan. l3.--The tobacco
sales have been very satisfactory TINS
week and the prices have been much
higher on all grades than any ume
before during the season. Bright to-
hacco sales have been light compared
80 the sales before the holidays. but
dark tobacco is more than making up
FOR the losses.
The prices on dark have been very
highs in fact, higher than ever seen
hy any of our farmers before. Prlces
have been ranging from sll 10 sou
per hundred. From now on the ware
house men are expecting good breaks
Of dark tobacco. as there is consld-
crahie dark grown near this market.
II is supposed that about fifteen per
cent Of the bright is unsold.
The interest manifested by the
farmers in supporting a new market
has been very gratifying. and has
tiispelled the thought of the pesstmist
The market has well established it
self and the outlook for banner
market is assured
The farmers are already beginning
to arrange for the new crop, which
will no doubt, be the largest ever
grown by them.

MINE BUREAU
WILL PROBE
PROMOTIONS

PHOENIX, Dec. THE Arizona
Corporation Commission has long
been desirous of making arrange
ments whereby the commission could
be enabled to make a detailed and
scientific examination of the affairs
of the mining, oil and other corpora
tions that seek permission to sell
stock in this state. The commission,
however, has always been handi-
capped by the lack of a sufficient ap-
preparation, and, unlike other state
commissions vested with the enforce
ment of the blue sky statutes, has no
funds with which to secure the serv-
ices of competent mining engineers.
However, without charge to the
state, the commission has just been
enabled to consummate a working
agreement with the State Bureau of
Mines, a department of the Tucson
university, headed by Professor Willis,
whereby the commission will receive,
WACAOOt OAoA sc, LAO OOANlCOS VI TO-
fessor Willis and his corps of engi-
neers for the purpose of making the
necessary Investigations of companies
asking to sell stock in Arizona.
That this will tend, in large meas
ure, to eliminate wildcat promoters
goes without saying.
Another remedial effect of this ar
rangement is that, through the engi-
neers of the Bureau of Mines, the COM
mission will be able to see that funds
received by the sale of stock to the
public are legitimately spent in de-
velopment work, rather than to line
the pockets of promoters.
In connection with this matter the
commission wishes to announce that
hereafter it will be necessary that all
applications for permission to sell
stock in Arizona be submitted to the
commission in duplicate. One copy is
to be retained by the commission,
while the other goes to the Bureau
of Mines.
