Tobacco Acreage.
To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-1 saw in your paper today the estimate
of this years tobacco crop or $4,000 acres as
given by Mr. Taylor am not questioning the
accuracy OF his report. but would like to
know now he arrived at these figures. am
large planter of tobacco myself. and live
right In the heart of the tobacco section. There
has not been anyone here to find out no many
acres l have planted in tobacco and | haven't
heard OF anyone being in this section making
any estimates.
don't see how an estimate can come within
mile of being accurate unless the farmers
themselves are consulted G. & J.
