(From Greensboro Messenger, BY B. +
AS supervisor of sales for the Ow-
ensboro tobacco market and also as a
tobacco grower, have observed that
the tobacco growers of the Green
River district are retrograding some
what from the former Green River
type of tobacco. The soil in this
section of the state is peculiarly adap-
ted to this type of tobacco, and is the
only section in the u. s. that grows
this type, but | notice that a great
many of our growers are planting a
Zone Sucker" and the Greenwood"
which is a cross between the "One
Sucker" and some broader leaf type,
which if you are not very careful in
the selection of your seed plants will
soon retrograde back to the narrow
leaf, large fiber tobacco which is not
our Green River type at all. If the
Greenwood" is properly propagated,
planted early, matured well, and cut
while the weather is warm, it makes
a we'll finished product and usually
sells we'll on the market, but if the
season is not so favorable, it cures
green and makes a dirty, mongrel
type of tobacco In my opinion this
is largely the reason our tobacco this
year is bringing unsatisfactory prices
Proper Selection of Seed
We learn from our experience and
through our agricultural colleges, that
our tobacco can be propagated and
improved the same as corn, wheat

The February term of Circuit Court
which opened in Hardinsburg, Mon
day the 10th, made one of the busiest
days the county seat has had for
several months owing to the various
hindrances which have prevented
crowds or any public gatherings. Be-
sides those persons called there either
to serve on one of the Juries, or in
some lawsuit probably there were
farmers from all parts of the county
some bringing in their tobacco to
sell, others mule trading, and still
others just looking around"
The sale of tobacco was very live
ly, and the growers of the weed found
satisfaction in the prices offered for
the Burley and Prior types. One suck
err type is still draggy.
Mule trading proved an interesting
item of the day and drew its usual
on-lookers. Mr.. Vic Robertson sold

and there were a number of other
sales made too.

bURKbURNETT O|L DISTRICT DRAWING
 GREAT ATTENTION

Illustrating the general nationwide interest in the new oil fields in several parts of the United States was the story that recently appeared in the Saturday Evening Post and press dis patches referring to the Burkburnett district in Texas. It is said that in this one district that of the last 115 wells drilled only three were dry. The production in this district now is 45,OOO barrels per day. Where there is now existing Burkburnett a town of 10000 people, six months ago only 600 were there
 Recently a prominent Prescott busi ness man returned from that district after a month looking over general conditions with the idea of investing for himself and several other prom inent people, said that it was the most extraordinary condition of affairs he had ever seen Options are not given for moths, week or days, but for 10 and l5 minutes. As an example, he said that he offered a party s1O,OoO for a lease on a certain acre of ground, to be paid in 24 hours, and he was curtly refused
 Many of the wells there now have become nationally famed because of Tremendous production. One instance. that of the Marine. paid a dividend of h$l.700 a share.
 When this Prescott man returned from Burkburnett, the stock of the Fowler company, s100 par value, was quoted on the stock exchange at S25, 5,O00 per share. The production of the Burlk- | burnett field is now 45.000 barrels | daily. In the town of Burkburnett there are 200 producing wells, 400 der ricks and about 400 wells drilling. The ground of the Marine company, who have a lease of 240 acres was sold for S3,500,00 in cash and is now worth about s6,O0O, 900. A lease on three acres Tn one part of the town of Burkburnett sold for $75,000 per acre.
