Xiglit Tobacco Cultivation in Georgia
Much interest now centers in the

circumstances, a short history of
the growth and development of light
tobacco cultivation cannot fail to be
of interest. Prof. Westbrook, tobacco

GOLDEN EAGLE BUGGY CO.,

i not on a commercial scale until re
, cent years. In 1910 only 2,000 acres
of tobacco were grown, most of this
in Decatur county around Amster
, dam. It was cigar filler and Sumatra
• wrapper types. ,
The first shipment of bright tobac
. co the writer has any record of was
, made ftom Jesup, Wayne county,
■ Georgia, in 1911. Mr. W. O. Rober
. 'son grew four acres which produced
more than a thousand pounds per
. acre The entire crop was shipped
to Timmonsville. S. C., and sold for
, an average of 16 cents xper pound.
The average price for South Carolina
tobacco that year was about 12%
. cents per pound. This tobacco was
grown on rather stiff pebble soil and,
although not highlj’ colored, Mad
' splendid quality, and created a sen
j sation among all the buyers on the
11 local South Carolina market. Mr.
Roberson continued to grow’ tobacco
•and some of his neighbors joined him
j in the industry, but prices were low
; and the acreage did not spread very
I! much.
, Meanwhile, a few farmers from
the Carolinas who had come to Geor
gia began to get interested in to
bacco. In 1913 Mr. W. A. Johnson
I j and Colonel W. L. Gignilliat, of Sa
vannah, were impressed with the
i possibilities of growing bright to
l bacco at Pineora. Effingham county,
1 and grew’ their first crop that year.
' The results from this crop were so
! favorable that the growers decided
that the tobacco industry should be
developed in that section. They ap
pealed to the Central of Georgia rail
road for assistance and received a
contribution of? 600. This money
was used to pay a tobacco demon
strator for the season of 1914. A
number of farmers grew tobacco
around Pineora that year and Messrs, i
Johnson and Gignilliat constructed
the Golden Leaf Tobacco Warehouse.
This was the first tobacco warehouse
built in the state. They held their
first tobacco sale September 12, 1914.
A little tobacco was sold in 1915, but
since that time the warehouse has
not been used, as the farmers be
came discouraged because of low
prjees. teome farmers continued to
gfow tobacco, but it was sold a(
private sales or shipped to South
Carolina markets.
In 1914-through their agricultural
and industrial departments the Cen
tral of Georgia, Atlanta, Birming'ham
and Atlantic and Seaboard Air Line
railroads began to encourage the to- z
bacco industry and to give the farm
ers assistance. Through the efforts of
these roads tobacco was grown in
Early, Stewart, Coffee and Wilcox
counties. The following year (1915)
• Sumter county grew a little tobacco
and through the efforts of the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic,
Georgia and Florida and Seaboard
Air Line railroads and a few men
who had moved in from the Carolinas
the acreage in Coffee and adjoining
! counties was increased. During this
| period tobacco prices were low and
I the farmers were slow to try a new
crop that did not offer good oppor-
• tunities for profit. In 1916, mainly
through the efforts of the Georgia
and Florida, the Atlanta, Birming
ham. and Atlantic and the Seaboard
Air Line railroads, the tobacco acre
age was materially increased in Cof
fee and adjoining counties.
In April 1917 a meeting w’as held
[; at Fitzgerald, Ga., for the purpose of
diseussifig the advisability of estab
-1 lishing tobacco markets in Georgia.
{| This meeting was composed of agri-
I cultural and industrial agents of the
various railroads operating in south
Georgia, of farmers and business
men, and a tobacco warehouseman
from South Carolina. This was the
beginning of the permanent ware
? fuse development in the state. As
a result of this meeting-, the Georgia
Tobacco company was organized at
Douglas, and a warehouse built.
Through the aid of agricultural
agents of several of the railroads,
especially the Georgia and Florida,
warehousemen as well as buyers were
secured from the leading tobac-'o
companies. The second tobacco
Warehouse in Georgia was opened at
Douglas, July, 1917. The sales that
year were very satisfactory and
compared favorably with those of
the Carolinas. About 335,000 pounds
of tobacco were sold.
In the fall of 1917 the Southern
railroad began to encourage tlhe
growth of tobacco along their lines
in south Georgia and in 1918 the A.
C. L. railroad began to encourage to
bacco along their lines and to ren
der assistance to the farmers willing
to try tobacco.
In 1918 the agricultural and in
dustrial agents of practically every
railroad operating‘in the southern
half of Georgia made a special ef
fort to induce the farmers in that
section to plant more tobacco. Ex
perienced tobacco growers -were pro
cured from North Carolina and South
Carolina to supervise tobacco for
new growers. Tobacco seed was dis
tributed free to the farmers by rail
roads agents and tobacco warehouse
men. As a result of this effort be
tween 5,00) and 6,000 acres o£ to
bacco were planted in 15 counties
which produced between 3,000,000 and
4,000,000 pounds. The average price
w’as about 34 1-2 cents, which was
much above the normal price. The
average yield per acre was about
75 pounds, although yields as high
as 2,000 pounds were reported. The
same year, in addition to the ware
house at Douglas, tobacco ware
houses were built at Nicholls and
Abbeville and markets established
those places.
In 1919 the Georgia State College
of Agriculture found it possible to
employ a field agent to devote his
.entire time to this crop. The high
prices obtained for tobacco and the
damage done to cotton in 1918 by
the boll weevil caused a wide inter
est in tobacco, so much in fact that
it was necessary to discourage the
planting of a large acreage on in
dividual farms. About 30,000 acres
of tobacco were planted in 1919. in
45 counties which yielded 10,327,530
pounds of tobacco, which was sold
at an average of $17,73 per hundred
pounds. Fifteen warehouses were
operated at Douglas, Abbeville,
Nicholls, Fitzgerald, Blaickshear,
Nashville, Ashburn, Tifton. Vidalia,
Hazlehurst and Lumpkin. The coun
ties that grew the largest acreage
were Coffee, Wilcox,, Berrien, Ben
Hill, Tift, Irwin, Turner, Jeff Davis
and Pierce.
There were almost dslly rains
throughout the tobacco season and
this, together with inexperience, re
sulted in a large amount of in
ferior tobacco. Despite the fast that
some farmers list money on their
1919 crop of tobacco the indications
are now that the tobacco acreage will
be as - large or ever} larger in 1920
than in 1«19. This is due to in
creased damage to cotton by the boll
weevil and to the high prices paid
for tobacco. The farmers also real
ize that south Georgia soils and
climate are well adapted to the
growth of bright tobhcco.
Approximately 3 1-2 billion pounds
of tobacco is produced annually; of
which yield the United States pro
duces about 11-*4 billion. Os this
11-4 billion pounds more than 300,-
000.000 pounds is bright or flue
cured tobacco. During the war the
use of our types of smoking tobac
co s and cigarettes has grown and
been popularized among all the na
tions of the world. At this time
there is a shortage and good demand
for our tobacco.
The consumption of fine-cured
tobacco has probably increased more
fcr the last thbpe years than any
other type of tobacco. It is impos
sible, however, to foretell whether
this increase will continue nor is it
possible to foretell what the limit
of the increase will be. Bright to
‘bacco is used almost exclusively in
the manufacture of smoking and
cigarette tobacco. There is no doubt
that the consumption of this type of
tobacco was greatly' increased by the
recent war and therefore resulted in
a great increase in price.
Over-production of tobacco has al
ways been a menace in the estab
lished tobacco sections of the United
States. While conditions now seem
to indicate fair prices for several
years it will be well for Georgia
growers to watch carefully the de
mand for the bright type of tobacco
and govern themselves accordingly.
Unde/ boll weevil conditions we
believe it would be a good plan to
well adapted to it.' Tobacco can be
plant small crops of tobacco on land
made to fit in very nicely on the
average farm on; which cotton has
been the principal crop. The market
price of tobacco is determined large
ly by its quality. It offers a good
profit where care and intelligence in
its production and sale are used.
Men who have the best grade of to
bacco are able to realize a profit
when prices are low. Men who grow
inferior grades of tobacco for which
there is little or no demand are the
ones who lose -when tobacco prices
are low.
It is the purpose of this article
to give instruction in a general way
that will assist th e new tobacco
suits. It would be impossible to
growers in obtaining the desired re
give specific instructions in every
detail, because conditions on each in
dividual farm are different. The
grower will have to rely on his own
judgment in applying these instruc
’tions to his conditions.
Tobacco is influenced very much
by the soil on which it is grown,
probably more so than any other
crop. While tobacco wiM grow on
any type of well-drained soil, to pro
duce the best grades certain soil
types are essential.
In general, the soils best adapt' ‘
I to the production of flue-cured to
. l acco are light and sandy to a depth
of four to ten inches, underlain
th a sandy clay subsoil of a yel
; 'c’vish orange color.
The light colored sandy soils pro
: duce the brightest -tobacco, unless
j some factor other than the soil en
i ters in. The clay of the subsoil is
an important factor in giving the
i leaf richness and body. In the
; coastal plain section of Georgia som e
iof the soils are such loose, deep
i sands as to an extreme of the
bright tobacco type. Such soils will
! naturally produce a very bright to
: bacco, but the leaf is Mkely to be
| lacking in body. If the soil is dark
I and contains a high per cent of clay,
i the leaf will be rich and waxy but
i dark colored. It will not bring the
. best price on the market.
Also if there ia .n great deal of
rain during the growing and har
vesting season the tobacco on clay
soils will remain green, making it
ninossible io cure the leaf properly,
j Georgia has a great deal to learn
j about the soils adapted to'the growth
jof bright tobacco. There a few
PROPORTION OF VARIOUS CROPS
INFLUENCES FARM EARNINGS
What proportion of cropped acres
on any farm should be devoted to
cotton in order to make the farm as
a whole most profitable?
This is one of the questions the
United States department of agricul
ture insists upon having answered in
determihing efficiency of southern
farm management. A large number
of farm studies have been made to
determine the proportions. Figures
are quoted from a survey made in
Sumter county, Georgia’.
Os nine one-mule farms the best
five averaged twenty-three acres of
cropped land to a mule. Os this, 9.8
acres, or less than half, was plant
ed to cotton. The remainder -was di
vided as follows: 7.2 acres in corn,
2.7 in oats or oat hay, 3.6 were sec
ond-cropped with cowpea hay, leav
ing 3.3 acres for miscellaneous pur
poses.
Os twenty-three two-mule farms,
the best five averaged 30.2 acres .of
crop land a mile. Os this, 10.6 acres
were planted to corn, 3.9 to oats and
oat hay, 2 acres were second-cropped |
types of- soil that have been thor
oughly tried out and it is known
what kind of tobacco to expect from
them. For example, the Orangeburg
sandy loam and the Norfolk series
are well suited to the production of
the finest grades of bright tobacco.
This year (1919) tobacco was grown
on practically every soil type of
Importance in the southern half of
the state. Tobacco had not been
planted on some of these types be
fore and the best informed tobacco
experts could not foretell what tne
results would be.
Raising Peanuts on a Profitable
* Basis
S. F., The Rock, Ga., writes: I have
about twenty acres of thin, sandy, gray
land that I am thinking of planting in
peanuts. What variety would you rec
ommend? Would like for you to give
me information regarding the prepara
tion of the land and the cultivation and
fertilization of the crop.
Peanuts should do as well on gray,
sandy land as any crop you can
plant. They like a rather light, por
ous soil and, if given the proper op
portunity should make you a good re
turn. The White Spanish is one of
the best varieties to plant for -sale
to the oil mill or grazing down by
hogs. . ‘lf you were cultivating this
crop with the idea of selling the pea
nuts to street vendors, then a large
podded sort could be grown to ad
vantage, such as the Tennessee,
North Carolina or Virginina Run
ning varieties. . V
Pdanuts may be planted at any
season of the year after the ground
is sufficiently warm to cause rapid
germination. A fairly liberal use of
seed is to be commended. The plant
ing may, of course, be done by hand
or by machinery. We prefer the lat
ter method. The rows should be from
twenty-four to thirty-six inches
apart. Soaking the peanuts so as
to soften the outer hull is an advan
tage.
When planting the peanuts, we
should use from two to three hun
dred pounds of acid phosphate per
acre. This material may be put un
der the drill row at the time of
planting the peanuts. Some potash
can often be used to advantage as
ffrell. It. is generally considered good
practice to lime land intended for
peanuts. We advise you to scatter
100 pounds of the raw crushed rock
over the surface of the land you in
tend to plant in peanuts as soon as
ybU’ can secure the material and do
the work. The lime should not be
mixed with the fertilizer. Scatter it
over the surface of the ground and
cover it into the soil with a harrow.
Balancing of a Cotton Fertilizer
N. S. R., Girard, Ga., writes: I want
to plant about seven acres in cotton on
sandy land. I have fifteen sacks of
8-2-2 fish guano and four sacks of
nitrate of soda. Will it be all right
to mix it together and put it down be
fore planting? We had a few boll
weevils last year.
Under the circumstances, we sug
gest that you mix all the fertilizer
you have together. Divide into seven
equal parts and apply this amount
to each acre of land. We would put
the fertilizer under the drill row for
cotton. Even after you have done
this, you will only be supplying about
fifteen pounds of nitrogen per acre,
sixteen pounds of phosphoric acid
and four pounds of potash. This is
light fertilization for cotton in the
face of boll weevil conditions. We
would like to see the nitrogen in
creased and the phosphoric acid as
well. There is no objection to put
ting all of the nitrate of soda under
the drill row at the time of planting
the 1 cotton. It will be taken up soon
enough to prevent a loss of any ap
preciable amount of it by washing or
leaching. Early planting, liberal fer
tilization and rapid cultivation are
three matters to be kept constantly
in mind iji fighting the weevil. Rick
ing the Insects out of the buds and
the picking up of the fallen squares
later on are essential matters.
Is Sucking,. Wind a Breakable Habit?
F. A. D., Reepsville, N. C., writes:
Is there any way to break a horse from
sticking wind? She seems all right
otherwise and is a good worker, but I
fear this habit would hurt the sale of
her should I want to sell her. j

Os twenty-five three-mule farms,
the best five average 32.58 acres of
crop land a mule, of which 17.47
acres were planted to cotton, the re
mainder going largely into food and
feed crops.
Os eighteen four-mule farms the
best five averaged 30 acres of crop
land a mule, 18.85 of this went into
cotton, the remainder being planted
to supply crops.
Os nineteen five-mule farms, the
best five averaged 27.1 acres a mule
and planted 15% of this in cotton.
The best five of fifteen six-mule
farms averaged 34% acres of crop

Which is rather difficult to cure. It
is best accomplished by putting the
animal in a smooth sided box stall
where there is nothing to bite or
crib upon. Another method is to
cover the manger with iron or gal
vanized metal. Heavy tin will an
swer in the absence of other mate
rials. A horse Will rarely bite on
metal. A third method is to put a
strap around the neck of the horse
just back of the ears. It should be
a broad strap and have a good
buckle attached to one end. This
strap should fee adjusted so as not
to interfere with the process of
swallowing, but be sufficiently tight
to prevent the muscles of the neck
from contracting. The use of any
or all of these methods should en
able you to effectively cure this
habit if it has not become so well
established as to be unbreakable.
The strap to which reference is
made should of course be removed
from the neck of the animal if it is
put to work.
Destroying Grubs in the Backs of
Cattle.
W. H. F., Marble, N. C., writes: I
have a cow which has what is called
wolves in her back. They are small
lumps about the size of • peach seeds.
The cow seems perfectly healthy and
is fat. Is there anything that can be
done to remove the lumps?
Your cow has been attacked by
■ what are known as “wolves,” or
| “warbles.” This trouble is caused by
; the bite of a fly, which you have
no doubt seen following -cattle about
in the summer time. The adult is
about the size of a hohery bee. Dur
ing the warm months she deposits
I her eggs_ in the region of the heel.
' This causes cattle a good deal of
i discomfort and so they lick the af
| fected part and thus take the eggs
into the mouth. They are there
hatched and find their way down the
gullet, working finally through the
cfellular tissues until they arrive un
der the skin on the back. There
they remain and develop until
spring, when they work their way
out of the skin,- drop to the ground,
burrow tnto it, develop and finally
emerge as an adult fly. Hence, all
adult flies should be destroyed
whenever they are observed and
every warble should be treated' by
applying a few drops of turpentine
to the small pore opening directly
over the lump caused by the devel
opment of the warble. Any that re
main should be squeezed out and
destroyed. If this were done sys
tematically warble flies would be
soon eradicated and a cause of se
rious loss to cattle owners elimin
ated.
Fruit Trees Good Investment
The ordinary individual craves a
certain amount of fruit in his diet,
On the average farm fruit consti
tutes only about 6 per cent in value
of all food consumed. This per
centage could be increased to good
advantage, making fruit a more im
portant part of the diet, says the
United States Department of Agri
culture.
Many farmsteads include fruit
trees and grape arbors as a. part
of the planting scheme around the
dwelling. A small area of the farm
devoted to apple trees, peach trees,
berry plants, or other fruit suited to
the region, is a good investment
for any farmer. About, two-thirds
of the fruit consumed by the aver
age farm family is produced on the
home farm.

Make the Cotton Crop Pay
Use Calcium Arsenate to poison the 801 l
Weevil. The Government has devised it, tested it
and now recommends it.
But be sure that you get the right kind of Calcium Arsenate
and be sure to get a machine that will dust it successfully.
Follow instructions of the United States Department of Agri
culture strictly else it may not pay.
Remember that other things are necessary in fighting the
801 l Weevil. They are : x*
(1) Grow only Bto 10 acres to the plow.
(2) Plant seed of early fruiting varieties. •
(3) Use good, iwell drained soil. . 7
(4) Fertilize heavily to sored the plant to set and mature
early a large number of bolls.
(5) Cultivate frequently.
For further information write for Free Bulletin No. 31 “Cotton
Production” and for Circular No. 25 on “Calcium Arsenate.”
