The buyer expressed belief that the crop would be million* of pounds short this year, for the country as a whole, there fore bringing much higher prices for the Georgia crop, which has not been subjected to the severe drought conditions prevailent In other states. Whereas the weed brought an aver age of 20 cents per pound at last season’s markets, the buyer believes that anywhere from 25 to 30 cents will be common this year. Georgia Is now producing approximately half of the tobacco grown In the United States, he stated, and will probably surpass that figure this season. He expects the crop to be approximately ninety million pounds, as against seventy million for 1935. Whereas the tobacco crops in drought states have been practically ruined by the lack of rain, Georgia has had nothing but the other ex treme to fear, with danger daily be soming more marked of crops in South Georgia being damaged by ixcess rainfall.
