ing its advance into Germany, today

SALES ON MAYSVILLE
LOOSE LEAF MARKET
TO Be VERY LARGE
Farmers Have Plenty Of Time to Get
Their Crops In Shape Before
Opening and Large Sales Each
Day Are Expected.

Because of the fact that the Mays
vile Looseleaf Tobacco Market is
opening late this year, local tobacco
men predict that the Maysville sales
will not only be large but that they
will be speedy and that the crop will
be sold in the usual time. 1t was
thought at first that by making the
opening date late the market would
have to remain open for quite a time
after the usual closing date but itsis
now thought that the market will have
to remain open but short time for
the crop is being put in shape for mar
ket by the farmers and every sale will
be large.
Some of the best posted tobacco men
on the Maysville market today predict
ed that prices would not be so far off
as they appeared to be in the dark belt.
They said that good tobacco would
bring good prices at any time but that
they expected lower grades to be a
little lower as a general thing on all
markets than they were last year but
very little lower.
The tobacco crop in Mason and adj
joining counties is said to be of low
er grade as a general thing than that
of last year but with all of these con-
ditions the tobacco men predict
splendid season, with prices much
above the average and that will please
the growers and make them good
money on their years WORK.
Everything is ready on the Mays
vile market for the opening now set
for the first of January when all of
the large factories will be ready to put
their buyers in the field and when the
grower will be assured of keen COM
petition and the last dollar his crop is
worth. 1t was pointed out that there
may be some dissatisfaction among
the farmers who sell their tobacco be-
fore the representative of the larger
buyers arrived on the markets but
they predicted complete satisfaction
upon the arrival of all of the buyers
for which the Maysville market is
waiting, the managers of the local
market desiring to see the growers of
this section get every cent out of their
crops.

Grief For Gro
GERS With Ne,U
Rule o., Sales

With the announcement Of the food
conservation ruling requiring that with
each purchase Of wheat flour the pur-
chaser must be required to buy an
equal amount Of one or more OF the
wheat -four substitutes grief for the
grocers started.
One grocer said that up to Tuesday
noon the first half day that the order
had been in effect here he had had
more grief with customers trying to
explain to their satisfaction this new
ruling than he had had over any other
move in the food conservation program.
He was hopeful that the buying public
would soon come to understand the
details Of the requirements Of the gov
eminent regarding the purchase OF
wheat flour and wheat -four substi-
tutes.
order Of especial interest to the buyer
is that the purchase of sack Of wheat
-four and the wheat -four substitutes
that must be bought at the same time
will cost 81 or IS. depending on the
cost Of the wheat flour. This fact OF
itself. it is believed. will be large in
fluence in controlling the purchases OF
wheat flour.
The law provides that whenever the
retail dealer sells wheat -four without
selling an equal amount of substitutes
he must procure certificate from the
buyer to the effect that the buyer al
ready has in his possession a guam
tity of substitutes equal to the amount
OF wheat -four substitutes. One grocer
remarked that a considerable number
of purchasers seemed to have the sub
stitutcs. at least they signed state
ments to that effect which the retail
err kept. These certificates are to be
turned over to the county food admin
istrator once every two weeks.
The order however forces the retail
er to protect himself In the matter OF
seeing that wheat -four substitutes are
sold with wheat -four because the re-
taller is compelled to buy pound OF
wheat flour substitutes for each pound
Of wheat -four he buys. Unless his
stock Of wheat -four substitutes is
marketed with his wheat -four the re-
taller soon will find himself heavily
overstocked with wheat -four substi-
tutes.
