ANGIE AND JUANITA SHELTON UNLOADING TOBACCO

I remember the first crop of tobacco we ever made. My daddy made it on Bob Norton’s place. I would’ve been seventeen year old. I guess my daddy raised two or three acres. They didn’t have to have no allotment when they first raised it. They could raise every bit of it they wanted. There weren’t so many people raisin it when it first come out, but I know my daddy raised it. I guess they just didn’t want to be bothered with it at the first beginning - didn’t know how it would go about selling. They found out the next year how people got so much out of it and then bunches of them went to raisin it.
