SOIL MEASUREMENT
NEARLY COMPLETED
Growers Have Until Octob-
err l To Comply If They
Have Not Done So

Measurement of farms in Vance
county to determine the degree of
compliance by growers with their soil
conservation program work sheets is
about completed, and will probably
be finished in a very short while, j.
w. Sanders, county agent, said to-
day. Mr.. Sanders is director of the
Federal crop program in the county.
He said that defiite compilations
had not been made of the records
turned in at his office, but that he
estimated Is percent of the growers
cooperating would be eligible for Fed
eral payments under the soil conser-
walton program. The other 25 percent
who have not qualified thus far may
be able to measure up if they comply
immediately, and have been given I'M
til october l, under an extension of
time, to plant their soil improvement
crops, such as peas and clover. Those
growers who fell short of compliance
by some 10 to Is percent come under
this heading, and have time yet to
qualify for payments if they put in
the proper crops. They have reduced
their money crop acreages of tobac-
co and cotton, but have failed to plant
the soil improvement crops.
Some 65 workers in all have been
engaged in measuring crops through
out the county. Not all of them were
at work at any one time, but that
many have had a part in the work.
Mr.. Sanders said A number of col
lege boys home for the summer, and
high school graduates of last spring
have been impressed into service in
the work and have done a fine job of
their part of it, the county agent said.

CURING IS ALMOST
OVER FOR SEASON
Preparations Now Being
Pressed for Opening of
Tobacco Market

Curing of tobacco of the 1886 crop
is moving well on to completion in
Vance county and this section of the
State, and virtually all of it is ex-
pected to have been harvested by the
date of the market opening in this
city, and the Middle Belt, on Tues
day, September %, ten days hence.
Growers are well up the stalk in
harvesting operations, and much of
the middle leaves, usually the best
part of the crop has been taken in
and put through the barns They are
fairly well pleased with the quality
of the cured leaf now stored in pack
houses and awaiting final condition
ing before being thrown upon the
auction warehouse floors for sale
after the season starts.
Growers, tobacco men and business
people generally are hopeful of a price
this season much better than last
year. Higher prices in the Georgia
and border belt markets and in East
ern Carolina have given rise to a feel
ing of optimism and hope for much
better season. There will be less to-
bacco for sale than last year, but
more than in 1884, one of the best
seasons, from a price standpoint,
North Carolina tobacco growers ever
experienced. Some have estimated the
price here will equal that of 1884.
when the local market averaged a
small fraction under 80 cents for the
entire crop. Less optimistic ones do
not look for so high a price, how
ever. But the quality of the crop in
this section is said by many to be
better than that in either of the belts
that have already opened and have
their seasons we'll under way. This is
because the season here was far
enough delayed to benefit from gen
erous rains that came after the seri-
GUS dry season of the spring and early
was broken.
