Newspaper Page TextTobacco a Money Crop. Atlanta, Ga. —Agricultural ex ports here are today pointing to the wonderful possibilities fur Making none'y by growing tobac co in Gt v,.'uia next year. • > it is iat UitLieult to eglcuhtt t tlio proli to be made from grow ing tuba. • \ when." as these ex perts shoit is easy ,to .grow from 500 1.000 pounds of to bacco pci' ■: ere on South Georgia lands, and then if the growers ©niy secure as much as the lovvest average price offered in North Carolina — a tobacco state —in Oc tober, namely 20 cents, and the lowest yield yet reported from that state, namely 500 pounds, it shows a full SIOO an acre for to bacco. On the other hand if the growers reached the maximums amount and received the maxi mum price, then the profit is very attractive.. ' It is pointed out, in the reports received from Noith Carolina for October, which are being ana lysed here, that the average price a pound for the month was in ah most every case above 20 cents* and in some cases the average price paid run as high as 38 3-4 cents a pound at Pinetops. Wilson, N. C. f which is the largest market in North Carolina, average over 32 1-2 cents, while the next larg est sale at Greenville, N. C. aver aged over 33 1-2 cents. The industrial department of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railway, which runs through the rich agricultural section of South jeorgia is very much interested ii the production ot bright tobac -i that section of the State, and with a view to assisting the grow ers had made arrangments at its own expense to import experts to that section. “South Georgia has produced some of finest tobacco grown in the old tobacco belt,” declared W. W. Croxton, a prominent offi cial of A. B, and A. Railway, "but last year, due primarily to condi tions—that is, to much rain—and inexperience in growing. The farmers did not produce as good grade of tobacco as North Caro lina can produce, nor does it mean that tobacco growing in Georgia is a failure. As a matter of fact Georgia failed to make a good cotton crop this year in many sec tions, while the corn crop . last year was not particularly good, but this yqur it is exceDtionally good. The farmers will have, pi th? growing of tobacco, as in all other crops, some good years and some bavLyears. ‘To accomplish anything suc cessfully we must stick to it until we learn-how to do it —that is. particularly true in growing ,and curing tobacco. Tobacco is a crop that requires a great deal of ex perience and a great deal of at tention. particularly during the period when it is being cured. With constant attention and appli cation, we can orow as good to bacco in Georgia as anywhere.” The State Bureau of Markets calls attention to the fact that there are good local tobacco mar kets at Tifton. Fitzgerald, Douglas, Nicholls and many other points in South Georgia. Farmers should grow enough to bicco in ail of the communities wnere markets are located to sup port these markets and make them profitable, otherwise the markets will be closed aud it will be ex eeedingly difficult to reopen fhem” said a v* 'acco after look ing o'*' r he terrifotj^ /: Theresas |Jbeen r ut 1 said about providing ’m u k wi—j.fmwwsea ■» i t --frhr’ [past, tm u the enterprise of pro gressive kGtorpa markers have been pro [•video,UV’all tobacco gro*- ting communities and it appears _ . __ . —a. .4: - - ■! 1 iif ~i Rules for Keeping Auto 1 ires in Good Condition If you are going put your -car away for thfe winter, there are a few important rules to follow it yon want M find your tires in good condition when springtime comes i again, says the United Statbs Tife Company.

Letter to Santa Claus. Dear Santa Clause. —I am ex pecting you Christmas Eve night. I want you to bring me a big doll and a doll carriage. My two little brothers said to tell you to bring them a little red automobile. And bring.us lots of nuts and candies, fire works, too. Don’t forget Mamma and Daddy, bring them something, too. So please don’t dispoint us now. Your little friend, Sarah Carter. that it is now up to the farmers to show Jheir appreciation for these large investments which have been made to establish to bacco markets, by growing enough tobacco to make the investments pofitable and it may be depended upon that year in and year out the tobacco industry will he a success.” The statment is made as to to bacco growing there may be some poor years while, on the other hand, there will be some excep tionally good years, The point is mbde that aVerage will be satis factory if the growers do not at tempt to confine their activities to: top shot;ta period.
