BUYING TOBACCO

Connecticut tobacco growers who have heard and read all about the immense oycrproduction in the state now are finding that buyers from almost everywhere are in and around Hartford endeavoring 10 buy mp the ovcrproduction at low prices.
 Whom q buyer looks at the crop of a Connecticut grower noWa- days the first thing he says Is: "You know Of the condition this year; we c2nnot pay big prices because of an oyorproduction,' etc. The grower is expected 10 lot go his crop for the proyerbial song and presumably is then left al ease to grow some more tobacco 10 add 10 the over production.
 Connooticut grow CTS have n strong argument 10 level against inc pro- fcssors and others who have been advertising the big ovrrproduction, some good has been derived out Of ,ho melee, but the good does not ac- rrue 10 the growers. The jobbers and tobacco buyers should be well pleased with the results -- if the growers sell their crops 10 the mul- ritudc of buyers on Connecticut soil. The buyers have come from long distances and expect 10 make their Trip pay by paying less 10 the grow l CTS
 Ono piece Of anti-Connecticut- rrow,r propaganda that went ont trc other day had 10 do with the fac, thu, buyers were patronizing . cho independent growers and pur' chasing their crops quite readily.

Quite number of fans came into l the office in the course of the pas week and asked if we'd run a few programs for Monday. Well, we'r, 1 doing it and, as result, we're rath. CT cramped for space as far as this ] column is concerned But we'll make the most of it and We don't suppose you'll be frantic, anyway. Last eve. ming was perfect. That is, for thost 1 living in other parts of the city than our neighborhood. Up to o'clock we enjoyed unexcelled re. ception and We looked forward 10 { glorious evening, with KOA and kGO tlittering in noisily But al | about 9 o'clock somebody got tho iiea that his battery was running down. or something, and he switch ed on one Of those noisy chargers making the mistake to connect it tC our aerial. For the remainder of the night q steady buzz filled the air and we could get nothing through but WTIC and WBZ, with once in | while WIZ coming through.
 We heard George Olsen and his band last evening through WIZ, and reception was perfect. We turned on the volume switch just little bit and the music flooded the place. Hello, Aloha!" Bye, Bye Blackbird" and that we-don't- know -what-to-call-it, "Lu, Lu, Lu," with it's innumerable verses.
 Then we heard the Sundial Sere- naders and the Bonnie Laddies, also from WIZ. Didn't We tell you that WIZ was coming through slick Well, We meant it and still meant it! The Ladies sang Tn My Con dola.' Then they came across with one which we thought had been dead 30 years come next Michael mas You Tell Her, I Stutter," put ting it over very nicely. Speech" was another request which was very nicely done.
 Say, thlS IS getting monOtonouS.
 
 The Fairfield program, what We heard Of it, from WTIC, was all right. We enjoyed the band num- bers more than VIC did the vocal cf- forts, but then we alway DID want to play a bass drum and wear tall hat in a parade. Royal Scotch Highlanders' was lovely. We also liked Waters of Minnctonka" as presented by the ladies chorus.
 Then came the buzz. like a flock of vultnres, sweeping down upon us and destroying everything in its path. All over the dials it could be heard and each dial setting seemed to make it louder than the last. At II o'clock the noise was still on and still going strong.
 And so, ladies and gentlemen, we bid you farewell until Tuesday, maybe. Don't eat too much turkey! (No, that's wrong) Well, save that remark for Thanksgiving.
 
 That's all for today, thanks!
