|Morristown Wants
Tobacco Warehouse

MORRISTOWN, Tenn, Dec. 27.
We want to suggest to the Board Of
Trade, through the columns of your
paper, that an immediate effort be
made to encourage the raising of to-
bacco in this section. A warehouse
should be built and farmers asked to
put out small crops. To further the
project this bank will loan any repu-
table farmer, either land owner or
tenant, money to raise crop, at sin
per cent. Lets get busy and keep up
with our neighbor counties at least.

ton was taken. as there were no avail
able figures upon which the board
could base any action. IT was ar
ranged, however. for a committee rep

with the board and supply available
figures on the production costs of each
section of the lumber industry.
! From statements made by the rep-
YeSentatiEeS OF fh6 mills present, no
prospect Is held out for any material
reduction. In fact. Mr.. Irby, OF the
National Lumber Manufacturers asso-
citation, declared that production costs
had gone higher since the armistice
was signed.
| 7 might call attention to the fact
that this statement Is borne out by
the figures of he North Carolina Pine
association, which I have quoted ear
lier in this talk.
| There are other reasons why we
cannot expect material reduction IN
lumber prices. the principal one be-
ing that of supply, which have COW
cred, and the increased cost OF trans
portation and yard handling. WI hin
the past two years the rate OF labor
used in our yards has advanced over

duced this as far as we can hope to

scarcity OF experienced lumber yard

that our costs will be reduced on this
part of our work.
