TOBACCO SEASON
CLOSES AUGUSI 31
SALES AT VIDALIA WILL RUN
MILLION POUNDS, BUT PRICE
HAS BEEN A GREAT DISAP
POINTMENT TO GROWERS.
The tobacco season at the Vidalia
Loose Leaf Warehouse will close on
Wednesday, August 31st. It had
originally been planned to close on
j September 2nd, but this would have
necessitated opening a new month’s
record for making reports to the gov
ernment. and it was therefore decided
to close the last day of August.
The total of sales at Vidalia will
run a million pounds, exceeding the
record of last year, when the total
was three-quarters of a million, but
the price has been a great disap
pointment to the growers. The con
tinued rains in the early summer did
a great deal of damage to the tobac
co and made it impossible for a good
quality of tobacco to be produced.
There has been a good market for
good tobacco, and what little tobacco
Df the better grade that has been of
fered on the local market has brought
a good price, but low grades have
predominated. The‘average price
received by the growers has been
10 cents.

Ellll POTATOES
ARE PROFITABLE
JOHNSON CORNER FARMERS ARE
WELL PLEASED WITH VENTURE
OF PLANTING POTATOES FOR
NORTHERN MARKET
While returns from their shipment
of a carload of sweet potatoes to the
Northern market were in a measure
disapointing, the progressive John
son Corner farmers find the potatoes
far more remunerative than cotton.
The net returns from the cart were
$543, and after deducting expenses
for guano, bedding of potatoes, bar
rels, they find thjy have a return of
about SBO per acre, five acres havisg
been required for the carload.
Abcut 50 acres have been promised
for next year and the farmers will
avoid a number of mistakes made this
year. The potatoes were planted
late, then followed a delay for guano
and another delay awaiting a ship
ment of barrels. Next year they ex
pect to get the potatoes on the mar
ket at least three weeks earlier and
hey expect the returns to be much
better. Two additional cars will be
shipped this year and the returns are
expected to be as good, if not better,
than the first shipment.
The carload shipped two weeks ago
contained 134 barrels of No. l’s which
brought $5.81 per barrel and 35 bar
eels of No. 2’s which sold for $3.04
per barrel.
So she decided to run him down.
She dressed in a gown of the vam

Even the bellhop was shocked for a
while.
, SHE WAS IN A BACH

This sinner had—oh yes, indeed!
And when she learned, she thought
she’d faint.
Her sinner proved to be a saint.
OH SIN!
