TOBACCO PLANTING
/ WILL START SOON
S o m e Seedbeds Have
Sprouts Big Enough Now
For Growing Fields
MOISTURE is NEEDED
Little Rainfall Experienced for Week
or Ten Days; Soil Conservation
Meetings Have Been
Completed
MOISTURE is NEEDED

Transplanting of tobacco from
seedbeds to the growing fields will get
under way in this county and section
in another week or ten days, and by
the middle of the month will probably
be in progress on virtually every to-
bacco farm Of the county.
Seedbeds will shortly be axle to sup
ply all the young plants needed. De-
spite the abundance of moisture dur
ing the winter and early spring pc
Rod, however, there is a very genuine
need for rains right now. according
to farmers. Others than the urgency
of surface moisture, the past week has
seen weather conditions favorable.
Temperatures have been generally
seasonable, with the first really warm
weather of the spring season.
Throughout the county farmers are
blowing their land and conditioning
their fields for the start of planting.
With rains that are hoped for the
next week or ten days will find an
abundance of young plants ready for
the growing fields and the transplant
ing can be started in earnest.
A series Of community meetings
have teen held during the past week
in all parts of the county, under di-
rection of j. w. Sanders, county farm
agent, for the purpose of acquainting
growers with the benefits to be de-
rived from participation in the gov
ernment's soil conservation program
as a sequel and substitute for the in
validated AAA, and he thinks most
of the growers have been favorably
impassed with the plan. While not a
great many have so far complied it is
expected that many of them will in
the next few weeks. Payments for to-
bacco acreage retired in accordance
with the act will approximate $40 per
acre. There is no compulsion about it,
however, not even after the work
sheets" have been made out and filed
in the county agents office. Payments
will be made only after it has been
shown that the grower has complied
with the provisions of the act to
qualify him for participation in the
benefits.
Indications now are that the ag-
gregate tobacco production in this
county in 1886 will not be in excess
of the 1885 crop.

handling of the postal business here
as the result of the climb in volume.
Some citizens, however, are anxious
that the office be kept open nights
until midnight, instead of closing at
10 p. m. The later hours would be of
great convenience to business people,
