ABOUT TOBACCO. 
Tobacco Co. 
Offers Good 
Greenville, N. C, June 1909- 
To the Tobacco Growers of 
Eastern North 
As the time approaches to 
begin curing the tobacco crop, 
The Farmers Consolidated To- 
Co being desirous of 
aiding and serving the interests 
of the tobacco farmer, begs 
leave to submit a few 
which we hope will be of 
some service to them. In calling 
attention to these matters, we 
want it understood we are not 
giving advice, but simply 
suggestion that farmers 
may think about them, and if 
approved, where practical, adopt 
such of them as they see proper. 
In the first place, we would 
call the attention of the growers 
to the fact that it now set ms 
certain that tobacco crop in 
Eastern North Carolina has been 
increased in acreage this year 
something like per cent. 
estimate of the acreage is 
based upon information obtained 
from almost every of the 
east. We believe the impression 
of the tobacco trade at large has 
been that the acreage was 
increased much more than 
per cent, but in this we think 
the trade mistaken. The con- 
of the crop up to June 1st 
Wis excellent, but linen then 
the heavy and incessant 
have in 
ruined the crop, while it has 
been seriously damaged 
everywhere in the east- Unless 
there is recovery 
from the wet weather, which 
has been follow. by several 
days of scorching sunshine, it 
certainly at this date e 
as crop in 
will be a much lighter one even

the hot months, and sold

behooves farmers to take 
advantage of every opportunity 
presented to them to 
most out of the crop, to do 
this, they must consider the 
influences under their control 
which tend to advance or lower 
the price of tobacco. We know j 
of bit ore way of controlling the 
price, and that is to control the 
production. The production 
during the last few years tut 
been only a normal one, while 
the increase this year would 
probably have resulted in a 
considerable increase in pounds 
if the seasons had been 
and a normal yield saved. 
However, it does not seem 
probable now that the crop in 
the east will be a large one. 
The unnecessary haste to 
market the crop early in the 
season when weather conditions 
are bad for handling large 
ties of tobacco, has resulted, we 
believe, in a direct loss to the 
farmers of the east during the 
last two years, of several 
hundred thousand dollars. The 
determination to market the 
bulk of the crop during August 
and September cannot but result 
in loss to the farmers. We 
realize in making this statement 
that many will say that in the 
past those who sold early 
received more than those who 
sold late. This is true, but it 
was due to the fact that 
all the tobacco was sold 
during the first few months, and 
there was not enough left of the 
crop to justify buyers in staying 
on the market, consequently, 
the remnant of the crop sold 
as well the bulk of the crop. If 
farmers had acted in 
during these past few years, and 
marketed only a small per

the law of and 
operates to the price a

the supply of this

that much to depress the market. 
It should therefore be thrown 
away, and thus taken out of the 
production, which, of course, to 
that extent reduces the supply, 
and it follows that the demand 
for the remainder will be greater, 
with a correspondingly better 
price.

course, and a wise one, with re- 
to litigation. Some years 
ago the policy was never to c 
promise a case in court; fight it 
out was the motto. The result 
was that it got hurt in 
every way. We notice, however, 
compromised 
now, of course where the facts 
are against the company. This 
is a wise policy. It is not only 
a direct saving, but places the 
road in better shape before a 
jury in other cases. It shows a 
willingness to do what is right. 
And it may be stated that the

We do not think any 
bile owner in Greenville desires 
to do injury to any one, 
but the way some of them run 
their machines is really danger- 
The aldermen adopted an 
ordinance forbidding a speed 
greater than ten miles an hour, 
and the ordinance has been duly 
published so that all may have 
warning, but it easy to see 
machines running at a speed 
much greater than the limit 
scribed in the ordinance.
