child is not deprived of the
sleep he needs at night be-

have definite plans for
more rest at home. The

Regular Tobacco Market Sales End
With $226, 800 ChargeabIe to Storm,

dark fired tobacco relatively
light, selling at an average Of

previous week. Sun-cured sales
last week were 1902 pounds av-

One Sale Left
The market here will open
Thursday this week for a final
cleanup sale for growers unable
to get the last of their crop mar
eted last week-the 10th week
OF the season.
From the comparative chart APP
pearing on this page it can be
aeen that dark-fired sales this
year were 27.758 pounds ahead of
last season. However, a drop of
24,l86 pounds in sun-cured sales
cut the net combined difference to
3.572 pounds more this year.
Despite selling more dark fired
tobacco here this year. farmers
received s172.l34 less for it-and
that can be traced directly to the
hurricanes and the SIS drop in the
general average. There was also a
loss of $54,765 in sun-cured re-
ceipts when 1855 sales are COM
pared with 1954's. Less poundage
and a $5.9l drop in the average
were responsible.
