ers on the Henderson market. and the
average is approximately $26.25 per
hundred pounds.
Tobacco men believe some 70 per-
cent of the crop has been sold. or
slightly more than two-thirds of the
total The local market is expected to
handle 100000 pounds for the sea-
SON. Most of the weed will be sold by
Christmas, it is generally believed.
At the same time cotton marketing
is on the increase. With many farm
ers disposing Of much of their tobac-
CO crop, they have had an opportun-
ity to turn more of their time to the
harvesting of the cotton crop. Fields
are white to the harvest. and pickers
may been seen all around on cotton
farms on days when the weather is
favorable. Vance county is expected to
grow some 1000 bales, and several
times that amount of cotton is ex-
pected to be marketed here during
the season.
Merchants are backing the markets
and are offering their services in sup
plying the needs of the growers when
they have come here to purchase
after disposing of their crops. Large
stocks have been put in, and the
variety is greattr, quality perhaps bet,
ter and prices right as compared with
other recent marketing seasons.

Cooke, of the Federal REA, then sent
Boyd Fisher, one Of his chief lieute-
nants, down here to call on the MEM
bers Of this committee, evidently in
an effort to prejudice the members
Sd they would make an unfavorable
report on the activities of the State
Authority, according to additional re-
liable information obtained by this
correspondent. 1t is also known that
Chester Lake, another employe of
Cooke and REA, las been shopping
around in the State recently. It is be-
lieved that Lake has been either try
ing to find something detrimental to
the record of the State Rural Elec-
trification Authority or to stir up
sentiment against it, or both. Last
week B. P. Adams, the special in
vestigator" for the Federal REA, who
was formerly an investigator with
the Alcorol Tax. Unit and an expert
enced government snooper, spent sew
efal days in the State asking ques-
