RISING AT RICHMOND.

There seems to be no end to the
leaf-tobacco boom. On all the Vir-
ginia and North Carolina markets
the prices are still rising, and such
averages as were made in the month
of October were never before heard
of. and yet the sales for the first
two days of November show contin-
ued increases on all grades offered,
says the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The deliveries in Richmond last
week amounted to 100000 pounds,
and the average paid for the week
was about $34.50. A break at
Shockoe Warehouse on Friday of
$4,000 pounds made a round aver
age of s35 per 100. The breaks
were made up almost entirely of
sun-dried tobaccos, there being less
than 5000 pounds of primings off
cred. On Friday the offerings were
unusually large, and sales lasted un.
til 4:3O O'Clock in the afternoon.
The cool spell that came along last
week will probably curtail the offer
ings somewhat this week, but the
warehousemen LOOK Tor large deliv-
cries, nevertheless.
The total sales for the month OF
October were 803,SI0 pounds, which
made the remarkable average OF
1921. Sales for the~s same month
! of last year were 264,450 pounds,
! average s12.03 Increase this year
over October of last year, 539,360.
| Increase in average paid, $2O.2S.
! To sum no the reports above We
find that the WinstonSalem mar
ken during October, 1915, sold 81
! 1869 lbs. of tobacco for an av-
erage of S1704. October sales TINS
year on same. market were 9,O95,'
734 lbs. for an average of S34.I5
or little more than twice last sea
sons average.
We find Danvi1le, Va, marke'
during 1916 averaged $12.65. The
1917 market has averaged to date
$3.50. a. gain over last season o.
s15.95 FER hundred. -,
We find further that the Souti

During October, 1917, the aVerag'

CONSTANT RISE AT DANVILLE

Danville, Va, Nov. 2, 1917.
The farmers continue to bring
their tobacco to market as rapidly
as the weather permits them to
strip. and the sales have been large
enough to occupy the buyers the
major portion of each day.
The quality of the offerings for
the week appears to be not of such
high standard as usual, but the
price. nevertheless, shows, an in
creased average over the former
week. Every week since the season
opened in August shows marked
increase in the average price over
the previous weeks average.
The sales for the month of Oc-
tober were 9,35S,269 pounds, at an
average of $3.50, an increase Of
$3.50 over the average of the two
previous months. The 15,566,756
pounds sold to November 1 has av-
eraged S3260. The 1916 crop fol
the corresponding period averaged
s16.65, and for the 1915 crop
1878.

OFFICE OF SOUTHERN TOBACCO
IOITRNAI,


Winston Salem, n. G. Nov. 6, 1917.
The local market sold about one
million seven hundred thousand
pounds last week, at an average of
around SIS cents. More common and
medium stuff is showing up on the
breaks, but the average prices in
creased instead of decreased. The
total sales up to the first of this
month amounted to 15,125,547 lbs,
which averaged 32.07. October sales
amounted to 9,095,734, which aver
aged 3415. The market has sold
up to date about 100000 pounds.
Up to the end of October, 1916,
the market had sold only S,75S,699
pounds, the average being only
S17.04 a hundred pounds, Justs a
little more than half of the average

PARIS, KY, Nov. 19, 1917.
TO THE TOBACCO GROWERS:
We will hold our opening sale OH
Tuesday, Dec. 4, 1917, at 9 a. m
We urge that you be present and
post yourself on prices. We con-
1idently expect to see the highest
prices ever heard of to be realized
for this crop. We have consistently
predicted high prices since the clos
ing of last years market and have
at all times urged the farmers to
hold their tobacco and get the ben
eft themselves. Many have thought
we were merely talking in the in
terest of the warehouse business
and in order to show our faith by
our works we have departed from
our usual custom and made q
purchase of tobacco at prices rang
ing from "a to 35 cents per pound.
As a further justification of our
prediction, we ask careful reading
of the market reports below, taken
from Southern Tobacco Journal of
November 10, 1917:

In both England and America II
is not an uncommon occurance for
the produce of heavy milking Short
horn lows to ruin the grand cham
pionship over all beef breeds at the
| fat stock shows yet In spite of these
| facts we have our land telling the
/ farmers that only the single purpose
cows are profitable Our New En-
gland agricultural colleges have not
done one thing to help the farmers
from the single purpose rot. Driven
deep into this single purpose idea by
one sided men and agricultural Journ-
ais, the farmers of Vermont can boast
that 80 per cent of the herds of this
state are strictly dairy animals but
alas with the woeful results that Yer
mont cows average only 1890 lbs. of
milk yearly.
At one of the milk meetings held
at st. Johnsbury for the purpose of
ascertaining the cost of milk produc-
ton the investigation committee dis
covered that the best producing herd
was a herd of registered milking
Shorthorns and the lowest, a herd of
special purpose dairy cows owned in
Orleans county.
At the Vermont State fair the
milking Shorthorns have won as
much prize money In the dairy tests
as all other herds combined.
During the past two decades 600
900 900 acres of range land have
been cut up into farms. If America
continues a meat eating nation where
will its supply come from if not from
its arabic farms. The raising of beef
from single purpose beef animals here
in New England is out of the ques-
ton. In fact the profits are becom-
ing so small in the West that thou
sands of farmers are turning to the
dual type. Last fall through the ad-
vice of Prof. Thos. Shaw, The Great
Northern sent it's land agent, Prof. E.
A. Wilson to New England to pur-
chase three carloads of milking Short
horns 1t was through the advice OF
Prof. Shaw that the late J. j. Hill
made his last importation of dual
cattle which were distributed through
the section covered by his railroads.
1t is from this vast territory COM
prising hundreds of millions of acres
under the supervision of the greatest
exponent of agriculture the world has
known comes the call for cattle of
greater utility. Decades must pass
before this demand can be supplied.
To the cattle breeders of dual utili-
ty, / will say that never before in the
history of agriculture has the vista of
coming years been half as alluring.
Never before could, the breeder of
this kind of cattle place such absolute
confidence in the future. In England
with their high-priced land and close
colonial competition, over 80 per cent
of their dairy produce comes from
the dual Shorthorn. In this land of
wealth and extravaganza, approach
ing similar conditions, is it not fair
to assume that the farseeing agricul-
turist viii profit by the lesson coming
from over the sea.

According to the Moorish idea of
beauty, n really handsome woman
ought to be so fat that she can only
waddle, not walk The fatter she is
the more beautiful she is considered
If she can attain 200 or 300 pounds of
flesh she is the envy Of all her sex.
The Moorish shape-if shape it can be
called-approaches the perfection OF
feminine beauty when it resembles, or,
rather, exceeds. the circumference of a

SAYS ALL CHILDREN DO II
University President Startles Hearers
by Declaring Youths Like to
take" Things.

DR.. G.. Stanley Hall, president of
ion and Education" the other day,
tossed off a number of opinions that
rather startled some of his hearers.
Say, damn once in while if the
occasion demands" Doctor Hall ad-
vised, and when the gasping had sub
sided he gave it as his belief
that slapping children was a good
practice if the slappings were admin
istered vigorously and mot more in
sorrow than in anger.
BE very kind about stealing" said
the wise doctor, 'for all children
do It."
That appears to be a pretty broad
assertion, says the Dayton News.
Perhaps the doctor is right, but let
us hope that he has overstated the
case. In justice to him it must be
added that he qualified his assertion
concerning the thievish propensities of
children by saying:
Possibly there is not person here,
a man at least, who has not stolen
apples, turnips or watermelons. II
they had been caught in the city they
would have been branded as Grim
inals."
We can understand the doctors con-
illusions concerning apples and water
melons, but why should any boy want
to steal turnips? AS well accuse all
boys of preferring work to play. No,
we refuse to believe that Doctor Hall
was not too general in his accusation.
