A Tobacco Expert.
At last It items that the Georgia
farmers have taken bold of the ootton
acreage question in a practical way.
The movement Is now to substitute
another craze In part—tobacco.
Commissioner Nesbitt wrote an art!
ole on tobacco which was Incorporated
in the Oetober report of his department
This has attracted wlde-ipread atten
tion. Applications for It eome not only
from all parts of Georgia, bnt from
nearly every state in the Union, and
from the Southern states in particular.
The outlook la now that a very con
siderable tobacco crop will be raised in
Georgia next year.
So decided Is this movement that the
commissioner has decided to employ
a tobacco expert, whose business It will
be to go from place to place and furnish
Information to those about to engage In
the culture on tlft large scale.
There are now thirty-eight tabacco
clubs or growers’ associations In Geor
gia, and new ones are being formed con
stantly.
In Every Receipt
that calls for baking powder, use the
“Royal.” Better results will be obtained
because it is the purest. It will make the
food lighter, sweeter, of finer flavor, more
digestible and wholesome. It is always
reliable and uniform, in its work.
“I have found the Royal Baking Powder superior to all others.”

The* Orange Crop.
The prospect for cheap orangeals very
good juitnow. Th| fruit dealer* report
the fruit selling very low, with a big
crop to be disposed of.
One of the reasons given for the low
prices is that last year northern and
western buyers went heavily Into the
Florida market, buying the fruit In the
field* and running the prices np on each
other. The consequence was that they
loet thousands of dollars, and this year
they have held off. A leading fruit
dealer said yefterday that the orange
grower* would not realize 75 cent* a box
for their oranges this season.
If you are going to buy some one a
Christmas present, we can interest you.
