PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR TOBACCO RAISING
SEVERAL FARMERS PROMISE
TO GROW ACREAGE IN THE
WEED" THIS YEAR.

The section of Randolph county ly-
ing around Shellman has been consid-
erably enthused over the subject of
tobacco raising, as a money crop. Mr..
T. D. Lashley, of Bowden, n. G.,
which is in the tobacco section of that
state, after inspecting several of the
farms declared the land ideal for the
growing of the crop. Mr.. ], N. Watts
has secured the promise of a number
of the local farmers to plant a small
acreage in the weed next year. 1t is
necessary to plant at least seventy-hve
acres in order to secure the services
of an experienced tobacco grower to
superintend the planting, cultivation,
curing and marketing of the crop. Mr..
Lashley is now in correspondence with
Mr.. Watts with a view Of moving to
this county if a sufficient number of
farmers will guarantee him commits
sion on the returns of the crop in re-
turn for his supervision of same.
On the above basis Triton has
grown rich. 1t is said that it is no
uncommon sight to see barefooted
men, in overal1s, driving large twin
six automobiles there. These farmers
have become rich so quick that they
have not yet learned to wear shoes
regularly.
Mr.. Lashley, in his talk to the
farmers of this section, said that in
his county in North Carolina farm
lands which had formerly sold at 81
per acre before tobacco was raised
would now bring from 5000 to $500
per acre.
Among those who expect to plant
from five to 20 acres in tobacco the
coming year in this section are J. n.
Watts, w. L. Allen, George Joiner,
]. F. and w. R. Crittenden, c. S.
Morris, James Sudderlith, c. B. Ay-
cock and Jim Avery. The last two are
from Calhoun county, but desire to
join in with the farmers of this coun-
ty in securing the services of an eX-
pert
