There beiug no further business the Council adjourned. J. H. Goodman, Clerk of Council quality—the former will; satisfying surplus. The sur a bad tobacco crop is not on dence of waste in itself, but waste of time, money and labor. If there was no encouragement in present prices to make fine tobacco little would be suid of improvements; but, as it is, there exists a ulruny, largo, inertaoing demand for fine to- mccos. Speoifioally referring to the brighter types which, with every fine crop year, show higher values with increased consumption, it most be said quality and not quantity will maintain the staudard price. The planter cannot afford to waste his time, money and labor in the pro duction of poor tobacco. That thete has been a large sur plus of tobacco iu the world is evi dent aud well-known, but it cannot be deuied that this surplus is of the poorest, most worthless types. It is equally true, and logically so, that tho production of thu bettor grades alone pay a premium and that con tinued production of common stock will only lead to tho making of a crop almost valueless. These con clusions arc self-evident, hot need to be impressed upon the planter. Nearly every country ou this globe is producing more or leas to bacco, or rather stuff that is called tobacco. The superior product baa its votaries in vurions forms every where, and it only romuius for Geor gia furmers, as they can only ufford to do, to produce that superior tobac co iu order to succeed. The altitnde, olimate mid soil in the vicinity of Tifton are exceedingly favorable to the production of the souerior grades which are calculated to maintain the attmtord of prices; the one difficulty to encounter faTw^nropei ami ener getic cultivation, harvesting and cur ing of the orop. What is trtm of tobacco is eqtmily true of other prodnots. Ordinary iron is plentiful, inferior mines and ores inmtmcruble, but fine ores that mttko a high grade of Bessemer steel yield satisfactory results. Of oourso the greater facilities ut. lessened cost tho greater the profit to producers- Fortunutelv for the tobaoco plant er there are utso modern methods of tobacco culture and care. These must bo kept ttp with and failure most assuredly awaits the slovenly, 'tern Tolmceo—Quantity or Quality? The first thing the young tobacco planters of Georgia sliould know is that tlie crop is iwt a don’t care, put- off, holiday, go-a-fisliing business. It demands prompt and never- ceasing energy to grow tobacco suc cessfully, and tho first question the planter should ask himself is, How shall I obtain the best results ? Is Hi in the quantity or tho quality ? Common sense, substantiated by past experience, shows that there never has nor never will be tin over production of a oujvrior quality of tobacco; emphatically the demand for this kind of tobacoo will always exceed the production. Tobacco m not tho exception of farm products-, Lest year, as yon are aware, the cotton growers put in heavy crops and pushed thorn through and The result was not only over-production bat inferior produc tion; consequently the present price is lesa than the oust of Itrodnetion. rough {There must be a steady aim at super turnoff ami ..... • j|—“ >mt of Mmmi.
