FOURTH INSTALLMENT

Quinn was dealing faro when
Laredo handed him Rosy's note.
He got his hat and left the Free
Throw, heading for Sans place,
the only place in town where a
man could get bath in hot wat
er. He entered the shop and
found Winters stretched out in
the single barker chair getting
shave.
Winters saw him and raised a
careless hand in greeting. "Hullo,
Quinn. How'd they pry you away
from the faro tablet"
81 took the afternoon eff"
Quinn said.
Winters laughed easily. 81 was
hoping you'd be there this after
noon. I was coming in and take
a heap of money away from you. "
Something in Quinn's mind told
him to be cautious. 81 never
turn down a game" he said
quietly.
Quinn smiled and said nothing.
He waited a moment, then stood
up. "I'll be back later, Sam"
d. Quinn went into the hardware
y store, one corner of which was
walled up into a large room
which was the post Office. Muir
ply was behind the wicket.
Hello, Murph," Quinn greeted
him. "Has the mail for the
Turner spread been called for
YETI"
'sNo, Winters got his, but he
never took the rest of it."
On the street again, he headed
for the bank. He had come to a
decision about Winters at last.
According to Murphy, Mary Win
tiers had not received the money
he had mailed to her anonymous
ly the night before, so she had
not given Winters the money he
now had.
He entered the bank, swung
open the gate and strobe past the
clerk to the Office door marked
Private" He swung it open
brusquely. Pearson was seated
at fiat desk, pencil in hand.
Quinn reached in his bill-fold
and drew out a card which he
tipped carelessly on the desk in
front of Pearson. The banker
studied the card and his rather
stern features settled into more
genial lines.
What can I do for you, Mr..
Quinn?"
II want to know about Winters,
: Mr.. Theodore Winters" Quinn
said.
"Does he bank here? I'd like
to take look at his account if
he does"
Certainly" Person rang a
bell and the clerk entered.
''See if we have a Mr.. Theodore
Winters banking here" Pearson
ordered. Bring me his account"
The clerk disappeared and re-

Burley Growers :.
Will Decide On
Market Quotas
Farmers To Cast Vote On
Program On This
Saturday.

Growers of hurley tobacco have
a choice to make Saturday. They
will decide whether to market
their 1899 crop with or without
the use of marketing quotas.
The marketing quota plan is
a part of the Agricultural Adjust
nent Act program. Acreage allot-
nents and soil-building practices
are in this program every year.
# all hurley tobacco farmers
planted within their acreage al
lotments, m arketing quotas
wouldn't be necessary in most
years. But, whenever excessive
paintings or heavy yields cause
the supply of hurley tobacco to
reach a certain high level stated
in the Agricultural Adjustment
act, the secretary of agriculture IS
required to announce a market
ing quota for next year.
The law specifies when market
ing quotas will be announced, but
farmers themselves decide wheth-
ar the quotas will be applied. I'm
der the farm act of 1888, market
ing quotas are announced when
the supply of hurley tobacco is
above the level defined as the
amount needed for use in this
country and for export. The
hurley supply is now above that
point.
The farmers voting must ap-
prove marketing quotas by two
third majority before they be-
come effective in 1899.
The hurley supply is above the
quota level by more than it was
when the 1888 quota was an
nounced. The referendum which
approved 1888 quotas was held
last April 8, and of the 7,163
growers who voted 5,262 of them,
or 1875 per cent, approved the
quota plan.
It now appears that the 1888
crop will be about 100000
pounds above the consumption
level. This is largely due to the
unusually high yield per acre in
1893. If there had been no mark
citing quota this year, the total
supply would be materially larg-
err than at the present time. With
out marketing quotas, non-coop-
orators with the acreage allot-
ment system would have planted
heavily and flooded the market.
Burley tobacco growers are in
a position to produce more than
5OO,OOO,0O0 pounds of hurley a
year. The consumption level OF
this type of tobacco is around
$40, 100000 a year. Constituted
production above consumption
would certainly mean lower pric-
es and income than in the past
four years.
The 1887 income of around $685.
100000 was the second highest
annual income for hurley tobacco
on record. However, as hurley
farmers remember, prices f1uctu-
ated widely and toward the end
of the season were much lower
than at the beginning. Farmers
need to work together if they are
to level out ups and downs in
supply and income of hurley to-
bacco; if they are to stabilize
prices and maintain income gains
that have been made under
Triple-A programs.
Over period Of years, with the
marketing quotas in effect hurley
