A MIGHTY DAYl

A MIGHIY Day!
The closing scenes of the closing
sessionssof the 30th annuol meeting
of the NAACP brought to q close a
mighty day in Richmond, Va, "down
where the South begins With the
Mosque theatre, seating 5000, JAM
med, and with other thousands MILL
ing about the stpeets, the scene was
set for the fitting climax Of one
mighty occasion, one that will be
riveted upon the memories Of those
present through all the coming
years.
Walter White was wonderful as
he made one long and sustained plea
for nterracial cooperation. The new
spirit of the NAACP was epitomized
in Mr.. Whites overt and covert ap-
peal to the South's better self, TIE
NAACP has come long way during
these 90 years, and Mr.. Whites aa-
dress was one ringing vindication OF
the interracial movement throughout
the nation. For a long time inter-
racialisn has been suspected and
cver aooused Of cringing tactics. AT
times vitrolic attacks have been un-
leashed aoainst it, but the more re-
cont attitude and spirit Of the
NAACp is q cotnmendatfon and cor
roboration Of things interracial.
This is as it should be- for com.
mon sense shows unnistakah'v that
without islterracial coonerafon, 50,
ciai advance of the country is slow
ed down and the social advance Of
the Negro race is impossible. That
the moving spirits of the NAACE
see this and have courage to ack
nowledge it is one Of the most hope
full SIGNS Of the times. Strangely
enough, in al the discussions no RET
erance was made to any demands
which the Negro was making on ti1t
powers that be. Gradually, the Ne
GRO is facing the ugly fact that de
mands without means of their en-
forcemant are oft-times ridiculous
We arc getting somewhere when Ne

from six to- "a cents a pound;
Vidalia's seven to Is cents, and

Warehouses and auction floors in

On hand to bid for the leaf were
experienced buyers from all the
major tobacco companies, represen-
tatives Of the export trade and in
dependent buyers.

pearance, and the neater the hand
or bundle the more appeal it has
to the buyer. The hand or bundle
should contain from 16 to 20 leaves,
with tie-leaf from the same group
of like quality and color. Bundles
should never be capped or the tie
leaf extended over the stems, be-
cause tobacco, after leaving the sales
floor, is redried by heat and Gaping
prevents the heat from penetrating
the "butt' and thoroughly drying
the stem.
9-After sorting, grading and tie
ing, the bundles are hung on the to-
bacco sticks and blllked down. Bulk-
ing under proper conditions usually
improves the quality of tobacco. In
most cases, green leaves left in the
bulk for considerable time in proper
order, will lose much of the green
color, which is Objectionable to the
tobacco trade.
2O-Tobacco should be neatly
packed on the baskets in the ware
house; as stated before, tobacco sold
at auction is sold somewhat on ap-
pearance and in careful packing the
grower puts his best foot forward.
Covering the piles before the sale
is good practice, as it prevents the
leaves from becoming too dry and
brittle; it also prevents bleaching if
the tobacco stays on the floor very
long. The arrangement of the piles
on the floor is of some Importance
and is generally followed by the best
growers, the best practice is to put
the tobacco on the floor as it grows
on the stalk from the lowest to the
highest, that is, place the lowest
grade Of the lug group first and SO
on if more than one group is being
sold.
Know your tobacco, sort and grade
it properly, offer it for sale when it
is in the best condition for market
and follow the market reports
through your daily paper.
