The News-Herald 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.

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. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY MEETING OPENED AT CAMPGROUND TUESDAY NIGHT Lawrenceville camp meeting op ened on Tuesday night fpr the an nua! session and it is believed. that much goad will be accomplished at the services this year. The best preachers in the Metho dist conference are on hand and the singing will also be as eat ore of tike meetings. Mr. oy Ethridge is leading the singing with Mrs. G. S. Perry at the piano. • The opening sermon Tuesday evening was delivered by Rev. Pierce Harris, of Buford, 1 and was well received. Remarks by local pas tor, Rev. Marvin Franklin, also featured the opening service. Dr. William H. LaPrade, -presid- • ing elder of the north Atlanta dis trict, is on hand and directing-the meeting of which he has full charge. Rev. Marvin Williams,* pastor of Wesley Memorial church in- Atlanta, arrived Wednesday morning.- .and will be the leadnig speaker of the meetings. Dr. Williams is one es the south’s greatest ministers.
