Farmers Await Start OF
Sales To Tell Story OF
Prices This Season
WANT 15-CENT LEVEL
Producers Watch For I'M
perial Buyers; Quality
OF Crop Rated Good

Triton, Ca, Aug. 7-F-About
$50, 900 southern farmers, with an
investment in cash and months OF
labor at stake, tonight awaited
he opening tomorrow of the Geor-
gia-Florida tobacco markets to
tell the story of profits or losses
ahead of them this season.
They looked to the first sales as
a fair guide to prices to be expect
ed when the season advances and
the buyers move into the Carolinas
and Virginia, states producing the
bulk of the cigarette type leaf.
Seventeen Markets
Growers hauled the newly-cured
yellow leaves of tobacco to ware
houses in II market towns, where
auctions will begin. Two r in
Florida, at Lake City and Live Oak,
where tobacco lately was develop
ed as an important crop; the others
are in Georgia at Abel, Bailey,
Blackshear, Douglas, Harira, Ha-
zlehurst, Meter, Moultrie, Nash
vile, Pelham, Statesboro, Triton,
Valdosta, Vidalia and Waycross.
Producers hoped federal farm Of
ficials would be able to make good
their efforts to maintain a mini
mum price average near the 15-
cent level, and watched for appear
ance of Imperial Tobacco company
buyers as a sign the large portion
of the crop usually sold Great Bri-
tain would be reserved for possible
future export.
Quality Good
There seemed to be general
agreement as to the good quality
of the crop this year. E. c. West
brook, specialist of the Georgia Ex-
tension service, said it was espec-
tally. suited for cigarette trade.
Tobacco came through the rainy
season remarkably welI', he said.
"a good many statements h a e
been issued regarding the outlook
for the price. Nobody knows just
what tobacco will bring this seaso
until the auctioneer begins his
chant.
Westbrook repeated the urgings
of farm officials that growers
dress" their leaf for the markets,
sorting it carefully as one assur-
ance of obtaining the best prices
possible. Federal experts provide
instruction in a number of tobacco
centers for farmers on grading and
handling the leaf for market. 4

give 5000 a year for ten years

said Salter had the approval of
State college faculty members, and
