Itis the biggest crop of tobacco the farmers have raised in many years, and, in point of quality, it is the finest ever grown here. From reports presented at a re- cent meeting of the Tobacco Grow- ers’ Association, it is estimated that the acreage last season was about 18,000 acres, a decided in- crease over the acreage of the pre- vious season. Encouraged by the fancy figures received last year, in some cases as high as twenty cents a pound, the farmers greatly increased their acre age this year, and devoted more attention to this money making crop. The average yield per acre in the last few years, has been about 1400 pounds, and, while this is estimat- ed as the average for this year, many growers say their average will run to 2000 pounds. About one-half of the crop has already been sold at prices ranging from 12 to 16 cents per pound. Figuring at 14 cents per pound as an average price, the total sum realized will be about $3,332,000. Much of the money to pay for this immense crop comes from out. side the county, most of it from New York state. The yield in money per acre, the present prevailing prices, is about $200. It costs from $55 to $75 to raise an acre of tobacco, and this will leave a net profit of $125 to $150 per acre. : The farmer who has an 8o-acre farm, of which ten acres is planted in tobacco, will have a net profit of from 1,200.00 to 1,500.00 from the ten acre field, more, probably than from his seventy other acres all taken together. Tobacco has been one of the most important factors in making Lan- caster county the richest agricultur al districts in the United States. The other crops which her farmers grow do not yield so largely in at | cash. This accounts for the large num- ber of mortgages that are now can- celed yearly and for the many suc- | cessful banking institutions that are found in this rich agricultural community. Peers It Certainly Needs It In an editorial yesterday the Lancaster Morning News says: Hooray! the Intelligencer” is out tor good roads, too.
