Board Asks Bids to Complete State Route 32
FARMERS SHOULD
MARKET LEAF
WITH CARE
County Agent Loyd
Advises Farmers
Brantley County farmers will be
gin marketing one of the best crops
of tobacco they have had in several
years this week. They are urged
to take advantage of the best mar
keting practices in order that they
may get the best possible price for
their crop. In order to do this there
are a number of things they should
do which are as follows:
1. Sell tobacco in the same order
that it is picked. That is market the
lugs first and on up the stalk.
Buyers had rather have it like that
as it saves mixing grades.
2. Grade out green and burnt
leaves, A few leaves of this type
will ruin the looks of a basket of
good tobacco, and is usually bought
by pin-hookers who make their
profit on what the farmer loses on
the sale.
3. Have tobacco free of strings,
dirt and other foreign material.
These things lower the overall price
that buyers can pay for tobacco and
stabilization checks are smaller on
that account. Stabilization receipts
are smaller by thousands of dollars
each year than they would be
should they not lose this weight.
4. Have tobacco in good handling
order to sell. Tobacco sells best
when it has just enough order to
handle without shattering. Too lit
tle is better than too much. Tobacco
in too high order will mold or rot.
5. Be with your tobacco when it
sells. If it is impossible for you to
be there have someone you can
depend on to be there in your
place, with your stabilization card,
and if it doesn’t sell for as much as
other tobacco of comparable qua
lity either turn it or have it put in
the stabilization loan.
If farmers will follow the above
named procedures, I am sure they
will receive top prices for their
tobacco. And with some of the best
quality tobacco that is grown in
the Georgia - Florida belt grown
right here in Brantley County, far
mers shouldn’t be satisfied with
anything but the top price for their
leaf.

12 MILES AND
THREE BRIDGES
LET JULY 30
The long-sought goal of comple
tion of State Route 32, east-west
highway through Hortense and the
northern part of Brantley bounty
seemed nearing realization this
week.
The State Highway Board, Jim
Gillis, chairman, is requesting bids
from contractors for about 12 ipiles
of paving and three bridges #n the
route through Brantley County.
Two legal advertisements are be
ing run by the highway board in
this week’s Enterprise asking for
bids on two projects which are^ cal
culated to finish paving State Route
32.
One advertisement requests bids
on three bridges, and 5.978 miles of
paved approaches. This project is
under the Bridge Authority, Jim-
Gillis, chairman.
The second advertisement asks
bids on 6.143 miles of paving, in
addition to the first project. This
latter project is a Federal Aj^‘Pro
ject. Contractors are asked to sub
mit bids up to Friday, July 30, when
the projects will be let to the low
est and best bidders.
These two lettings will mean the
completion of the entire section
now unpaved between Patterson
and the Glynn County line. • The
section in Glynn County is already
paved.
The effort to get Route 32 hard
surfaced has been going on . for
many years. Completion oi the
highway will bring great, satisfac
tion to its promoters and wUI ^ean
a great step forward in highway
progress for this entire section.
