Announcement of the date for the
proposed referendum on AAA re-
gulation of the 1910 flue-cured to-
bacco crop was awaited today
throughout the tobacco belt of this
State, with indications that the pre-
else time for the election Will \be
designated by Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wallace in Washington within
a few days.
Meantime, growers are anxious to
resume the selling of their 1889 crop.
The tobacco holiday was ordered by
the sales committee of the Tobacco
Association of the United States fol-
lowing withdrawal Of its buyers from
all markets by the Imperial Tobacco
Company of Great b - lin, and the
resultant sharp tumble IN prices. No
date has been announced for the re
sumption of auction sales, but it is
expected to come within few day.

Growers anxiety to resume SELL
ing is prompted both by the fact that
they want and need the money from
their crop and the fear that quality
may deterioratc if the leaf is kept
much longer in their pacllhouscs
without being sold which would
mean further loss to them.
Meantime, in most tobacco auction
centers, where so much depends up
on movement of the tobacco crop,
business has slowed down as the re-
suit stoppage of the movement of the
crop to market. Growers, warehouse
men and business people are ali alike

Again, the neutrality matter is
working itself out; though nobody

thing that may turn out to be the
most vital one Of them all, in view
of the possibility that it will keep
the United States out of or get it into

realize the importance of any such

Proper Fertilization of Grains
TtnnOrfa nf

Farmers should pay particular at
tention to the fertilization Of small
grains this fall, since it will be nee
essary to produce the highest yields
possible of wheat, rye, barley aud
oats to offset higher prices of food
and feed products due to war con-
ditionS.
For soils in the average state Of
productiveness, we recommend the
following fertilizer applications per
acre for small grains at seeding time
or just before: For this section, $50
to 800 pounds of a 4-8-4 mixture.

CANDLES ON ACCENT
Mr.. Selznick Is gambling
with the hope that Vivian Leigh
can acquire q Southern accent,
or simulate one that will satisfy
Dixie. He might have had the
SULLIVAN pure Virginia out Of
Norfolk, or the genuine Ala
bama of Tallulah. Instead he
will apply a Georgia veneer to
the TWickenham idiom.
