tobacco markets because OF the low
prices the leaf first offered brought
inc growers call to mind meeting
or farmers and tobacco men held In
this place last spring.
The farmers had asked the tobacco
men to advise them as to what sizc
crop to pitch with the view of keep
Ing up the values of the. weed. y
OF tho United States was called TO as
semble here, April %. 1t was at
tended by members from all the mar
kcts of Virginia and North Carolina,
anu also by n large number of farm
ers. The tobacconists compared notes
from all parts of the two States and
at tho meeting passed the following
resolutions:
First. That under the circum-
stances OF the unprecedented largo
crop of tobacco being grown in 1919,
and sold at the highest average ever
known. and that every incentive was
thus given TO increase the tobacco
production and as these prices were
unduiy high considering the size OF
the crop and the circumstances of the
central European countries which
take considerable quantity Of bright
tobacco being dcbarrcd by the great
depreciation of the rate Of exchange,
everything costing them five or six
times as much as compared with the
American dollar and the further con-
dttion that there has been a Suffi-
cient stock Of tobacco accumulated
for all practical purposes that every
thing points to much lower prices
even IL no more tobacco is produced
than in 1919.
Second. Under the prevailing con-
dit!on OF high labor. fertilizer and
everything that contributes to the
making of bright tobacco II has been
deemed wise and appropriate to put
these facts before the producers OF
bright tobacco with the expressed
opinion OF the leading tobacco men
that the production OF any larger
quantity than was made last year
would be frought with the danger of
very much lower prices possibly less
than the cost OF production.
Third. Therefore the farmers are
urged not to plant any crop that will
year. taking in consideration that the
crop last year was considerably cur
tailed by excessive rains. II 49,

cent increase for 1920 for North Caro-
lima, which with an average yield
would bring the crop up considerably
over 100000, 900 pounds with the pos
values, and therefore there il every
apparent reason that the crop should
be materially reduced as compared
with last year in order that no more
pounds OF tobacco shall be produced.
Fourth. Be 1t further resolved that
these resolutions be sent to every
leading bright tobacco market In Nir-
ginia, North and South Carolina. and
steps be taken to promulgate and get
before the farmers as far as possible
the action.
Copies of these resolutions were
sent to farmers all over this part Of
the State who agreed that they con-
tanned good advice which they would
follow. However, IL seems that the
farmers raised yet larger crops. and
to this the buyers declare is attrib-
utablc the slump in prices that has
raised such Z row.

The farmers then called Il meeting

ANOTHER BIG SUM
FOR WILSON DAM
PRESIDENT SETS ASIDE MONEY
FROM WAR FUNDS TO AID
ENTERPRISE.
WILL KEEP THE WORK GOING
Without This Aid Gigantic Job Would
Probably Have to Await Further
Appropriations BY the
Congress.

Florence, Ala.--Congressman E. b.
Almon is in receipt of a telegram
which announced that the president
had formally set aside $4,0O0,O00 in ad-
dition to the appropriations previously
made by Congress for the construction
Of Wilson Dam.
The 100000 Is out Of funds which
had not been used in other war work
for which it had been appropriated.
The citizens here are glad that this
amount could be transferred to the
Wilson Dam construction fund, as the
monies appropriated would possibly
have been used by the end Of the
year and work on the big job would
have awaited the action Of Congress
for further funds. The work at Will
son Dam is progressing satisfactorily,
and many visitors come from all over
the country to see the big job, as 1t is
now reaching a very interesting stage
Of construction.
Also funds were made available
just before adjournment of Congress
for the completion Of certain work at
United States Nitrate Plant No. 2 at
South Florence. Contracts will be let
for improvements at the Waco quarry
and for additions and alterations to
the plant, as we'll as the construction
of several miles of roadway in the
