NOTE COOK SKETCHES


following and obllge.
Fellow Tobacco Growers: Are you
THAI have not sold your 1918 crop Of to-
haeco willing 20 admit that your crop is
not as good, or hardly half as good as
your neighbours who sold from 3oe 10
40c per pound? Of course notl 1t is
as geod or better than his. Then are
you willing to sell for half the price he
obtained, and are yon going To listen to
some OF these .sone. horse" buyers that
come and offer you l8c to Zoe per pound
and in SO doing try to make you feel
they are doing you great favor? OF
course tney viii try in every way to
run down the market and buy as cheap
as possible. And why not? That is
their business. Again you meet them
on the street they laugh at big prices
and tell you how you should have sold
earlier. Are you going to meekly turn
your head in shame and say, sWeil, /
guess we did miss it by not selling early
this year.? Then you GO home and are
willing to take the first offer you get.
Or, are yGu going to stand up as man
to man and say, ''We have the goods,
we know there is the demand, SO when
the man comes along with the price We
ask we will SELF? Perhaps this will
shut up Mr. 'One-Horse. Certain
articles in this paper also have been
written to try to discourage the grower
from asking reasonable price. But
why pay any attention to these artl-
cles? In my mind it is very evident
that the influence of such articles in
the papers save the buyers thousands
of dollars annually, and how would it
be easier for the buyers to run" the
