Over 96 Tobacco
Acres in Bryan
Are in Soil Bank
Bryan County farmers have put
96.13 acres into the Soil Bank ac
cording to information received by
the county Agricultural Stabiliza
tion Committee.
The allotment for Bryan County
is 302.15 acres, which leaves 206.2
acres after those in the Soil Bank
are taken out. All of the farmers
on the remaining 206.2 acres have
not planted tobacco.
The 1957 tobacco crop volume
in Bryan County is expected to be
some 30 to 40 per cent of the
1956 crop, according to some
sources.
One of the factors' is the acre
age allotment reduction. Last
year’s allotment wa s 378.18
against the 302.15 of this year,
thus starting off the figuring with
over 76 less acres.
Other factors contributing to a
smaller crop are the Soil Bank
acreage reserve and the weather.

PEMBROKE MAN CUTS
FOOT WITH AXE
Ronald Harvey of near Pem
broke had the misfortune to cut
his foot seriously with an axe
recently.
Mr. Harvey was cutting limbs
off trees which had blown down
in a wind storm when the axe
slipped in some way, striking three
toes of his foot. The ends of two
toes were sliced off and the bone
cut through on the third toe. The
, injured man was rushed to a doc
' tor who immediately took several
stitches to close the wound on the
cut toes. Although he had lost a

' friends hope he will continue to
improve and soon be able to be
out.

Tobacco Market
Opening Set for
July 18th
According to information receiv
ed recently, the Sales Committee
of the Bright Belt Warehouse As
sociation reversed itself in its
meeting in Raleigh, N. C., on Mon
day night and set the opening date
for the local tobacco markets in
Georgia for July 18. This revers
al conforms to the date set earlier
i by the State Department of Agri
i culture through its commissioner,
i Phil Campbell.
At its convention in Myrtle
: Beach, S. C., last month, the Bright
’ Belt Association set a July 23 date
' for the Georgia-Florida opening
despite pleas from Georgia repre
i sentatives for the July 18 start.
Despite the difference in dates
set by the commissioner and by
the sales committee of the ware
house association it actually meant
a difference of only three days in
the opening date.
With an earlier and consider
ably shorter crop scheduled for
this year’s opening the local open
ing date of July 18 seemed to
have been the desired date' from
the viewpoint of most 10. al to
bacco growers.
Estimates as to the poundage
that will be reflected in the short
crop varies, but is generally
conceded to be upwards of 40 per
cent below last year’s crop with
some estimates going as high as
50 per cent. Though in general
percentages only, this shortage is
taken through an approximate 20
per cent reduction in crop acreage
with an additional 16 per cent,
approximately, going in the soil
bank.
