38 and 15¢ Being
Paid For 1950
Tobacco Crops
At this time twenty
our Lancaster County farmers were
being offered 15 cents a pound for
choice tobacco. Today they are get-
years ago
ting that much for fillers. How
times do change.
Early last week several tobacco
dealers went afield and lLought a
crop here and there for 32 and 10.
Evidently fearing that the best
crops would be purchased, some
of the other dealers went out and
gathered in quite a large acreage at
35 and 15.
That seems to be the prevailing
price for the 1950 crop. A farmer
with a choice crop can even do a
trifle better, while the run of the
land crop will go for a trifle less.
On the average, however, the
Lancaster county farmers will get
above general price for their crops.
Charles M. Strickler, of Wash-
ington Boro, sold nine acres of to-
bacco on Tuesday to W. J. Neff
and Co. Inc. cigar manufacturers,
of Red Lion, York county, at thir-
ty-eight cents a pound for wrap-
per and fifteen cents a pound for
fillers.
Gemmill and Co., Red Lion, paid
38 and 10c to Ralph S. Martin,
East Peterskurg, for 13 acres of to-
bacco and to Christ G. Hershey,
East Petersburg, for 12 acres.
A new top price of 40 cents was
reported yesterday. Clarence Sieg-
vist, East Petersburg, sold 10 acres
to Neff & Co. of Red Lion.
