TOBACCO CROP IS
OFF s. PER CENT
Unreasonable Conditions Curtail the
Planting of an Average Crop
In This District.


The past week has been one of
the hottest OF June. Some scatter
ing showers fell and covered most
of the district. which was refresh
tobacco was done, where there was
sufficient rain, but the condition of
the crop and acreage is practically
the same as at the end of last
week. No doubt there will be very
little more tobacco set, because of
the lateness of the season and the
scarcity of plants. | think it safe
to estimate rs per cent of the in
tended crop planted A large part
of 1t is bad stand, possibly / 5
per cent of the acreage is missing
The planting as compared with an
average is about 65 per cent The
crop has taken root and is showing
life, but is irregular owing to the
different paintings in the same field,
and the start for this years crop
we would say is poor one, but
with favorable weather conditions it
is possible to make good quality AMI
heavy yield, but with unfavorable
conditions the crop may be a very
mean one with light yield 1t is
impossible at this time to forecast
the quality or approximate yield, for
the outcome of a tobacco plant is
wonderful, and can't be told until
Ii is put in the barn.
The movement of loose tobacco
has been rather light throughout
the week, the greater part of it hav-
ing been bought under contract and
is being delivered to the dealers.
There has been quite a sprinkle of
tobacco selling on the loose floors
and street markets, the greater part
of which was low and common
grades. The market has been more
irregular on the low and common
grades of leaf, which showed some
weakness at times. On the other
hand the better grades have been
strong and competition sharp. Aside
from little irregularity OF prices on
low and common grades | would say
the market was unchanged.
There still remains in the hands
of farmers a considerable amount
of tobacco, estimated anywhere from
: to million pounds. the greater
part of which is common and low
grades, and no doubt there will be a
dribbling market for some weeks to
come yet, and the indications are
that some farmers will carry some
of this old stock over, either in hhds
or kept in their barns in bulk. Prac-
tically all of the larger buying in
terests except the French buyers are
in the market, but when their coun-
try purchases nave been delivered,
no doubt thes Will begin dropping
out, but the handling season win

usual
The Planters Association has
made some sales during the past
week most of which was comnon

cents The report a good deal Of
inquiry and prospects for larger sales.

LOCAL BUSINESS
OUTLOOK IS GOOD
Local Dodge Brothers Dealers En-
ploy Used Car Market As
Barometer of Sales.

THE healthy and active situation
of the used car market of today
serves as a sort of business baro-
meter by which we may gauge the
solidity and the financial health OF
the automobile industry in general,
according to Leach-Diggs Motor Sales
Co.
seldom before has the business
OF buying and selling used auto
MOBILES been in such a favorable
position, both from the standpoint
OF the buyer and the seller. But
the whole framework of used car
values, and the satisfaction of the
purchaser must be upheld by the
rigid and answering honesty of
used car dealers, if that merchant
hopes to hold his rightful and proper
place In the automobile industry
Causes Bitterness.
For there is no more disappointed
or bitter man living than one VINO
has been misled with, or who has
been the victim of misrepresent,l
ton by the used car dealer.

changed to a marked degree. we
have been provided the full records
of production showing the year in
which a Dodge Brothers motor car
of any given number was manufae-
,tured so that prospective purchasers
of these cars may avail themselves
of this opportunity to prevent pos
sible misrepresentation, for while we
are only too glad to assist the own
ers or prospective owners of Dodge
Brothers cars.

Perhaps the most salient indica-
ton of the firm foundation upon
which the automobile industry sits
today is the heavy demand for used

Automobiles, especially Dodge
Brothers cars, stay on our salesroom
floors but a very short time; in fact,
they are hardly taken in before
they are resold. In great measure
this is due to the high resale value
which renders the purchase of a

else"

But this is sure
More people are finding out every
day that between leaving things
to luck and getting real economy
there is big difference.
Many a car-owner has come to

to keep on paying that difference.
Probably seven out of ten users
of U. S. Tires came to them only

similar appeals.

they stick to it.
