Cured Account For
Most Of Acreage

Donald c. CAN'T, office man.
ager of the Agricultural Stabih-
cation and Conservation Service
for Prince Edward county, to-
day announced that 1901 78
acres of tobacco will be allotted
to 1923 growers for the 1868
crops. This is slight decrease
from 1925 allotment of 1865
acres to 1876 growers.
Committees composed OF To-
cal growers and farmers who
supervise the commodity pro-
grams Of the U. S. Department
Of Agriculture locally have just
completed the job of summing
up the annual ALLEGATION.
The 1923 individual allotments
do not represent a true picture
in one respect, however, since
it is a greater figure than the
number of individual farms.
There are a number Of farms
in the county with allotments of
two, three or even four kinds of
tobacco.
Flue-cured tobacco was h e
only one to take an appreciate
cut in allotments and acreage.
It fell from l48 allotnentS and
834 20 acres in 1862 to 433 allot-
ments and 822 43 acres. This is
about five per cent cut.
Burley tobacco was the only
kind that had an increase and
that was very slight There are
l03 allotments for 55.32 acres
this year compared to l02 for
500 acres last year.
Fire-cWed tobacco retained it's
number one position both in
number OF farm allotments and
acreage. There will be 735 farms
growing dark tobacco on 1893 .01
acres.
Mex in order Of allotments
and acreage are sum-cured with
35 allotments and 1888 acres
and Maryland with % allotments
for 4.64 acres.
Average Size
The average size of the al
lotments for each kind of to-
bacco will be: flue-cued, 1.8
acres: fire-cured, 1.3 acres: bur-
ley, 50 acres, Sun-cured, rs
acres and Maryland, .25 acres.
The above are averages. MI
merous farms have acreage sew
eral times greater than h
average. While many others are
below the average figure. These
allotments are exactly the same
as they were in 1862.
CAN'T gave the following aver
age Yields for the various kinds
of tobacco grown in 1862: flue-
cured, sol lbs. per acres; fire
cured, .265 lbs. per acre, bur-
ley, 1907 lbs per acre; sun
cured, 958 lbs. per acre and
