EARLIER OPENING
OF MARKET SEEN
Tobacco Men Want Starting
• Date Advanced at Least
One Week Here
CROP ABOUT ALL SET
Planting Practically Finished and
prospects Are Good for Year’s
Yield of Likely Improved
Quality W-eed
An earlier opening than last year
by at least a week is desired by the
warehousemen in the Henderson to
bacco market and efforts to bring
about that change for the market here
wi’l be made at the convention of the
Tobacco Association of the United
States at Virg.nia Beach June 29-30
and July 1 it was learned in tobacco
circles here today.
The crop :n this section has prac
tically all been set in the fields, and
has gotten off to the best start in
many seasons, and with favorable
weather during the growing season,
should mature an excellent quality of
the leaf. For that reason, it is be
lieved the crop will be ready for the
market earlier than for several sea
sons past, arid warehousemen are hop
ing to persuade the tobacco associa
tion .convention to grant them an
earlier start this year.
The season last year got under way
in the Middle Belt, in which Hender
son is located, on Thursday, Septem
ber 27. An advance of the opening
date by one week would put the
start, ng date at Tuesday, September
19 this year qnd an advance of at
least that much is sought, it is stated.
Warehousemen here would like to
get the market included in the East
ern Carolina belt. It is pointed out
that the crop is largely ready for mar
ket in all the area from Henderson to
the east at just about the same time
cs that in the Eastern Carolina belt
ten tory. It is not certain, however,
whether an effort will be made to that
end.
For at least three years the tobacco
crop in this section has been somewhat
below normal because of adverse con
ditions, including plant diseases, pests
and cool weather. While there has
been some blue mold and some flea
beetles this spring, neither has been
prevalent to the extent that it a.
menace to the crop in anything like
the proportions of the past few years.
Abundant rains during *-hei winter and
frequent rains during the spring
mon'h.- have been experienced and the
bulk of the crop lias been set a bit
carlietr than usual and is off to a good
start.
