Tobacco Season Planned
AS Georgia Nears Start
Eyes Turn South in Search of Price Indication;
Prospect of Larger Crop Not Dampening Op-
timism Here; Market Promotion Begins

Mindful of the rapid approach of
the start of the first 1889 auction
sales next week, tobacco men here
are pushing preparations for the
start of the selling season in this
Middle Belt on Thursday, Septem-
Der 7. The Georgia belt will be the
first off for the season on Tuesday,
July Is, and eyes are turning in that
direction to get an inkling Of what
price averages may be, and the re-
Election Of what may be expected
here later in the summer and fall.
Prospects fer a larger gross yield
this year is not dampening the Op-
timism of WarehOuSemen or business
men, While they are certain the price
average will be somewhat lower, the
consensus appears to be that increas-
ed quality and much higher quality
of this years leaf crop will mean
more aggregate cash in circulation
and greater profits for farmers,
Warehousemen and the retail COM
munity.
Street talk of probable prices
ranges all the way from 18 cents
down to Is cents or a little less az
a season level. Last year this mar
ket averaged $21.37 per hundred
pounds. Fervent hope is for much
better results than these in sales to
manufacturers and commission men,
and a considerable element appears
to feel that the Is cents figure is
plenty low.
Promotion of the Henderson mar
ket has already started. Advertising
is being mapped. More money is to
be spent to reach more growers over
a wider territory and acquaint them
with the claimed advantages Of SELL
ing in Henderson. The advertising
committee of the market has already
held one or two meetings, and others
will follow.
This work is carried jointly by the
Henderson Tobacco Board Of Trade
and the Henderson Chamber of Com
merce, the two, served by the same
secretary, Fred vi. Allen, Jr. He is
year-round chamber of commerce
secretary, and deVotes most of his
time to the tobacco market during
the selling season. Funds appropriate
ed by tobacco organizations and those
by merchants and business men are
pooled to support both organizations,
and the system has worked very
satisfactorily during the past year,
first in which it has been tried.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has estimated flue-
cured crop this season of 1922, $685.
900 pounds, but Mr.. Allen, on the
basis of surveys and observations,
predicts the yield will be we'll under
the billion-pound figure. Last years
harvest was 785, ,731 900 pounds, and
the record crop was in 1887, with
866,3O2,OOO pounds. Agricultural Of
ficials estimate the 1899 acreage at
100000, compared with 912,10O
acres last year and 989,500 in the
record year 1887.
The high figures are arrived at by
a high per-acre yield estimate, which

Insurance Cut Promised
If City Buys New Truck
Mavor and Fire Chief Return from Atlanta
Conference With Underwater Chiefs; Engi-
neer To Come Here Next Week

If the proposed new fire engine is
purchased, it will be equipped with
ladders that can reach to the top of
any building in Henderson, except
one, Mayor Powell said. 1t would
cost between $11 900 and $4,000, de-
livered, but not including hose equip
ment, which would have to be pur-
chased as an extra item.
The mayor and the fire chief left
Friday on the trip to Atlanta. They
went with a representative of the
American LaFrance Fire Engine
Company, from whom the new
equipment will be purchased, if it is
purchased. They were guesus OF the
company.
Conferences with underwriters
agents in Atlanta were had with a
view to buttressing the argument for
the new truck, a report on which is
to be made to the City Council at its
regular monthly meeting week
hence. Fire insurance rates are de-
termined by the Atlanta office for
all southern cities and towns of less
than $4,000 population.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-07-17

A reduction in insurance rates OF
five cents on real estate and SIX
cents on contents of buildings in the
business section of Henderson will be
granted by Southeastern Underwrit-
ers if the city buys the new fire truck
that has been proposed, Mayor Henry
T. Powell said today. He and Fire
Chief Cooper Ellis returned early to-
day from Atlanta, Ca, where they
held conferences with officials of the
underwriters.
Another condition imposed IS the
requirement that two trucks will re-
spond to all fire alarms in the busl-
ness section, and that regular drills
be held for all firemen, both re-
gularly paid men and volunteers.
A thorough inspection OF fire
equipment here will be made by an
engineer of the underwriters asso-
ciation on his regular visit here next
week, the mayor said, and it is pos
sible, though not believed probable,
that some reduction may be obtain
ed in insurance rates on residential
property.
