Tobacco crop short in Carolinas and Virginia markets
The Washington Post reports a sluggish tobacco season with two carloads sold in North Carolina and southward deliveries to Lynchburg and Danville markets. Farmers cite low prices and labor scarcity as key causes, while peanut crops expand in the same region. Returns show reduced sales and delayed curing, with supplies expected to meet factories only after weeks, amid weather aiding some growth.

PLAINT OF RURAL CARRIERS AT ITHACA convention
In Ithaca New York July 31 the New York State Rural Letter Carriers Association adopted a resolution demanding federal remeasurement of all routes to ensure fair pay under the new measurement. The convention censured the Post Office Department for an unjust interpretation of the law and a graduate salary scale that leaves 90 percent of carriers short of a $120 raise. It urged a straight salary increase to 900 and instructed delegates to push for it at the national convention, clarifying that the Farriers' Association is not a labor organization.
