.Curers Are
Soon To Go
To Canada
Many Inquiries Made
to Court Clerks Office
for Credentials To See
Them in and Out of
Dominion for Few
Weeks.

Tobacco growers in this section,
who habitually go to Canada each
year in the late summer or carly fall
to assist Canadian farmers in har-
vcSting their leaf crop. will begin
their trek to the Dominion in the
next few days. Inquiries made al
the office of Clerk of Superior Cour.
E. O. Falkner of Vance County for
information as to passport rcgula-
tons indicate that larger number
than usual will make the curing trip
this year.
1t is believed more curcrs 60 from
Vance and Granville counties, locat-
ed side by side in this section of the
Carolina Middle Belt, than from any
other part of the southern flue-curcd
region.
Mr.. Faulkner said some 25 or more
tobacco growers of this county had
made inquiry about border regula-
tions. Passports are not required. bul
some identification is necessary. Mar
riage certificates, tax receipts, birth
certificates, or certified statement
from the clerk that the holder has
been d resident of the county will
suffice, tbe clerk said.
So far as has been learned, none
has left yet, but large numbers from
Vance and Granville counties are
expected to leave in few days. They
usually stay from four to six weeks,
and as rule are paid weekly salar-
les. Canadian leaf is not marketed.
however, in the same manner as in
this section. Buyers go to the farms
to inspect leaf and make their pur-
chases there, since there is no ware
housing system in the Dominion.
From Lenoir, in the mountains Of
Western North Carolina, and several
hundred miles west Of this city. comes
d story of alleged deportation from

tempted to enter Canada last Mon
day to visit the Canadian side OF
Niagara Falls and have lunch in
Toronto before returning that nigh,
to Detroit. After crossing the bord
or, the party was stopped for ques,
tioning.
Canadian officials asked if the
tourists were from the tobacco sec
ton of North Carolina. While Cald-
well is not considered part of the
States real tobacco section, large
amount of flue-cured leaf is raised
in the lower regions of the county
where Sheriff. was raised, and where
his father resides. He informed Of
