24. While farm ers generally in this section are busy making the most of the worst tobacco conditions that have been experienced by them in many years, buyers are on the job in increasing numbers buying large quantities of low grade stuff at ruinous prices from the growers' viewpoint, Inasmuch as in many instances the amount received for the entire crop will not pay the cost beyond the point of harvesting tho crop. The cause of the farmers' trouble Is shed burn and rust and stem rot, the former caused by highly humid atmospherical conditions directly after housing and the rust and stem rot by toe much rain during the growing period and too rapid growth, respectively However, the fact remains that manufacturers can use tobacco of this kind, as is indicated by the man ner in which buyers are going after it Prices range from 4c through to 15 and 2.
