Brunswick Weed Growers
Busy Cropping, Curing
Product For The Market

SOUTHPORT, June 27.-More
than half of the Brunswick tobacco
growers are now busy cropping
and curing the weed, according to
John B. Ward, Waccamaw town.
ship grower. Waccamaw township
is the center of the tobacco grow
ing in Brunswick.
Mr.. Ward says that the rest of
the growers will get at the work OF
cropping in a few days.
Still more interesting in his re-
port is that the crop is the best
average in several years. The
weed is large and the absence of
excessive rainfall is assuring
heavy leaf. The growers are all
pleased with the production out
look, according to Mr.. Ward.
Not all the satisfaction wi h
crops is centered around the to-
bacco growers. The Brunswick far
mers, irrespective of what crops
they may raise, are more than
satisfied with crop conditions. For
the past few years the weather
has been ideal for the develop
nlent of tobacco, cotton, corn, po-
tatoes ard all manner of crops
Much of the corn crop has al
ready been '1aid by and the far
mers are in good shape to e t
about the increased work of har-
vesting tobacco, considering he
limited labor supply. 4

CURING STARTED
casper C. Hutto Says Grow
ers Face Prospects Of Favor
able Marketing Season

LUMBERTON, June 27.- First
curings of the 1912 tobacco crop
in the Lumberton area are COM
ing through with good color and
weight as growers face prospects
for a favorable marketing season,
according to Jasper c. Hutto,
supervisor of the Lumberton to-
bacco market. The supervisor said
curings are general to the south
and east and beginning their first
barns to the north and west.
Tobacco is above the average
in the Lumberton section and a
little earlier than usual" Hutto
said. Individual plants are not as
tall as they are in some years,
but most of them are bushy, well
filled and with good size and
weight on the leaves. Reports on
the first curings rate the barns as
good on the whole. Hail damage
has been comparatively little up
to date"
The supervisor said there were
some Indications that the Lumber
ton market will open August
but the date will be set at meet
ing of the sales committee of the
United States Tobacco association,
at Richmond, Va, July 8. AL l
market opening dates will be set
by the committee at that tt me.
Ten warehouses are available for
handling the offerings on the Lum-
berton market. 4
