LOCALS WON FROM
WINDER THURSDAY
Lawrenceville, with Buddy Mont
gomery reaching sublime heights
with his curve ball, took the cocky
Winder aggregation into camp Thurs
day afternoon at Winder, by the score
of 6 to 5.
The game was thrilling from be
ginning to end, and until Pentecost
raced across the plate on McKelvey’s
one-timer to left in the sixth inning
with the winning run, the outcome
was in doubt. With this advantage
tucked under his good right arm,
Montgomery, aided and abetted with
his faithful curve ball had the heavy
hitting Winder lads at his mercy.
The entire Lawrenceville club
played brilliant baseball and deserve
comment for their unusual perform
ance in taking the fast Winder club
to ride, in their (Lawrenceville’s)
second game of the season.
Lawrenceville intends furnishing
& .->9d baseball to the local fans for
the remainder of the year, and it's up
to the fans to rally to .their support.

by slashing his wrist with a razor
and drinking bichloride of mercury.
Financial troubles are believed to
have been the cause of his act.
Rowe was found sprawled across
his bed in his room in a downtown
hotel.
Rowe first, won national promi
nence when he successfully piloted a
plane with only one hour’s prelimi
nary instruction. At that time he

a great commotion as if someone
were tearing up the place with a
baseball bat. Upon investigation Mr.
Williams found that amonster high
land moccasin snake had entered
the house and crawled into the ca
nary bird cage, swallowed five ca
nary birds and then attempted to
pass out by the same opening by
which he made his ingress when the
five birds safely lodged ip his stom
ach would not permit, and the
snake’s head and part of his body
was flying through the air knocking
down everything with which it came
» '• • . A
in contact.
The 1 snake was said to' be about
four or five feet long and very pois
onous. Mr. Williams killed the rep
tile.

TOBACCO BUYERS
FLOCK TO GEORGIA
Atlanta, Ga., August 11.—Georgia’s
tobacco market has opened and run
dreds of buyers are on hand, accord
ing to reports received here by offi
cials of the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic railroad, which first pro
moted and now handles large ship
ments from the southern portion of
the state.
With more than 30,000 acres plant
ed in the bright tobacco section alone
this year, the production of tobacco in
the state for this year is expected to
exceed the high figure of 1919 and to
bring more than 16,000,000 to the
farmers of south Georgia.
Last year, 11.237,000 pounds of to
bacco were produced in the state.
This year production, at a low esti
mate, will reach 25,000,000 pounds,
and many experienced tobacco men
place the crop at 35,000,000.
Ten years ago Georgia produced
just 7,500 pounds of tobacco for com
mercial purposes. In 1917 the first
tobacco market was opened in Geor
gia. Now it is one of the largest in
dustries in south Georgia, and is at
tracting growers from many sections
of the tobacco belt. Tobacco lands
are relatively cheap, production pos-,
sibilities are great and the tobacco
ripens considerably ahead of the crop
in other sections. In addition, the
varieties and quality are up to a high
standard. There is said to be a
marked absence of tobacco diseases,
such as wilt, wildfire and frog-eyes.
Tobacco, it is clain ed, has brought
in a larger return pe- acre than cot
ton could have brought. The cost of
preparing the ground, the plants, the
labor and the fertilizer for an acre of
tobacco in south Georgia averages
$75. The grower can produce 1,000
pounds to the acre, but even with the
low yield of 500 pounds of leaf to the
acre he can still make a profit of $75
an acre.
At the average price of S3O per 100
pounds received for tobacco last year,
a 500-pound crop would net $75 and
a 1000 pound crop $225 per acre.
Moreover, in growing tobacco the
land is not occupied all the time; the
tobacco planter still has time after
the -crop is harvested to get in one_ or
two other crops, such as peanuts,
sugar, cane or sweet potatoes before
winter comes.
CROP REPORT
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. B.—Athough
the prospects for a bumper corn
crop in Georgia were reduced by dry
weather in parts of the state the
latter half of July, the condition
August 1 was fully average and the
indicated production still much
above the final outturn last year.
Early upland corn in the northern
half of the state was needing mois
ture and firing badly in some sec
tions, particularly in western,
northwestern and north central Pied
mont counties. Rains since crop re
port date have been very beneficial
particularly to the late crop, but un
til the last few days moisture was
insufficient in many counties. Low
land corn is progressing nicely and
a splendid crop in southern Georgia
is practically made.
Tobacco Crop Excellent
On August 6th a splendid start
was made toward marketing the
largest tobacco crop Georgia has ev
er produced. The acreage in bright
tobacco was more than doubled this
year, and the crop did well in prac
tically all sections. Many are finding
tobacco to be one of the best money
crops the place of cotton id
the areas devastated last year. *
Peanuti
A fair yield of peanuts is indi
cated, although a decline in condi
tion was shown during the month.
The acreage in the commercial
areas of both southern and northern
Georgia is considerably above last
year.
For the entire United States, the
conditioti was reported at 75.0% of
normal, indicating a production of
635,673,000 pounds, compared with
636,462,000 pounds last year.
Fruit
Peaches made a splendid crop, ex
ceeding the most optimistic expecta
tions. Because of heavy production,
considerable difficulty was exper
ienced in marketing the commercial
crop at .satisfactory prices, and a
much larger proportion than usual
of htecommerc ial crop was not har
vested.* - - - ■— •
Apples' and pears are above the
average' at present.
The conditions reported for wa
termelons- and cantaloupes and the
record ,of carlot shipments show this
year’s crop to.be above average and
much bettei- than last year; ! * - j-<
Most' of the 1 minor crops were be
low the ten year average in cori6i
tion, but recent arms have been very
beneficial in most of northern Geor
gia.
