1915 LEAF SALES
TO OPEN TUESDAY

VALDOSTA, Ca, July 21.-W.R)-
The 1915 tobacco auction season
will start Tuesday in 10 markets
of the Georgia-Florida flue cured
belt amidst mounting fears that
unfavorable crop conditions would
reduce the revenue for the thou
sands of farmers who depend on
the golden leaf for livelihood.
Tobacco buyers and growers as
sembling here for the opening
chant speculated that damage to
the crop may be extensive because
Of a combination of wet weather
and labor shortage. Prisoners OF
war aided in the fields in some
areas.
The u. S. Crop Reporting Service
estimated total yield in the early
belt of 12,225, 1000 pounds, the sec
ond largest crop on record. Con-
tinued wet weather has already
reduced that figure, however, it
was said by the market officials.
It was estimated that almost
half of the seasons crop is still in
the fields, threatened by damage
from rainy weather which general
ly continued. Warehousemen urged
growers not to bring their leaf to
the warehouses until the last min
ute so as to prevent spoilage.
On the brighter side of the pic
ture, the Office of Price Admins
tration raised the ceiling on I'M
tied leaf from a weighted season
average of 500 per hundred to $40
Last year, a market holiday was
called in protest of unfavorable
ceiling prices and the selling was
delayed for week.
A few new sales regulations Will
be inaugurated for the new season
Baskets will be limited to 25'
