TOBACCO THRIVES IN SOIL
OF SOUTHERN STATES
THIS SECTION NOW LEADER
IN PRODUCTION.
Reports Of Agricultural De.
partment Show Large
Increase in Acreage.
(RY John d. ERWINN
(BY JOHN D. ERWlN.)

Washington. Aug. 2s.-Reports In
dictate that the south is growing more
tobacco now than ever before. II IL
pointed to with satisfaction by the
people of that section that different
soils have been found to be suitable
for the growth Of tobacco. Formerly
1t was believed that only the lands
Of certain sections were suitable, but
tests have proved that tobacco will
grow on most any kind of land in
the south.
Tennessee Is expanding rapidly in
this respect. Much of the land here
tofore lying idle is now being put In
order for the cultivation of tobacco.
Eugene L. Wilson, publisher and
farmer. of Memphis, who has just re.
turned from Connecticut, where he
sought information on the production
and sale of tobacco In that state,
says:
Tobacco growing by southern
farmers Is increasing annually and
the prediction by tobacco interests in
all sections of the country that the
use of cigars and cigarettes will be
greatly increased by prohibition has
stimulated activity In a heretofore
listless field.
Thousands Of acres of farm land
WHICH mas DeCu COHSlueIeu uuHJ
other crops are pressed into the serv-
ice In the tobacco growing campaign.
There are two reasons for the I'M
precedented growth OF tobacco in
Tennessee and Kentucky this year."
The first is the unusual demand from
the manufacturers. who are selling
more OF the finished product than ever
before. The second reason is that the
Ian don which the bumper crops can
be grown is selling for prices that
are considerably lower than amounts
asked for cultivated farm plots. Much |
of the land which Is growing tobacco
this year has been under woodland. To |
to the young farmer seeking to invest
capital in farm lands there Is no bet
ter section than this. Crops OF all |
kinds practically can be grown here. and
the cost of living is nor such a factor
10 1t is in other sections of the United !
States. The souh has always produced !
a fair share of the tobacco that finds
it's way to the worlds largest markets. |
In he next few years, according to pres I
ent indication. Its record in this respect |
will be seconded to no other section.

Huntsville, Ala, Aug. 1s.--
(special.)-The project for the con-
struction OF a new road from the
mountain beyond Lacey's Spring to
the Whitesburg ferry south OF the
Tennessee river, In order to open up
the territory to the Huntsville mar
ket. was given great boost Thurs
day when a barbecue was given at
Lacey's Spring. About 1000 people
attended and enjoyed a magnificent
dinner. Thirty cars OF Huntsville
people were present The road pro-
ject would cost about $4,000 and a
considerable portion Of this sum will
be made up by private subscriptions,
the Huntsville Chamber OF Com
merce pledging itself for a certain
amount. The Lacey's Spring terri
tory now sends its produce thirty
miles over average roads, whereas,
the construction of the road TO
Whitesburg would put that section
within fifteen miles OF Huntsville.

For WrinkIed Faces

Those who have tried all sorts OF So

effort to lose those unwelcome traces
Of age, illness or worry, can scarcely
find words to express their delight with
the wonderful saxolite formula, once
they have given 1t a trial. The sue
cess Of this method is due not alone
to its marvellous effectveness-upon
the deepest lines and crowfeet, as well
as upon the very fine ones-but also to
its surprisingly quick action and its
entire harmlessness. It's simplicity and
its Responsiveness are other com
mendable features. for one need only
dissolve an ounce OF powdered saxolite
in a half-pint witch hazel and bathe
the face in this solution. At once a
remarkable transformation ia beheld.
1t is not only the effect on wrinkles
and creases that is so noticeable, but
facial contour is remarkably improved
and the face looks much younger. One
should be sure to ask the druggist for
the powdered saxolite. The lotion, be-
ing so refreshing, is very grateful to

Contracts for Road
Construction in Dade
Survey for Completion of
Chattanooga Birmingham
Road Made.

Trenton, Ga, Aug. 2s.-(Special.)
On or about Oct. 1, the Dade county
road commission will let contracts
for the completion of the north and
south ends of the Chattanooga Biz
mingham highway through Dade
county.
Survey for the completion Of the
south end Of the pike road was made
by engineers of the state highway
commission early last spring, and
bids were advertised for. but the
commission found that they did not
have sufficient funds on hand to COM
plete the project, so they decided to
postpone the work until all was ready
to complete the north end of the pike,
at which time they would have suf-
f1cient funds to complete both ends
of the road, II the bond election car.

A survey for the completion Of the
north end OF the pike was made by
state highway engineers last June.
but completion Of the plans and
specifications was held up until after
the good roads election, which was
held here on Aug. Q, and which car
ried by a landslide for good roads.
Plans and specifications for the COM
pletion of this project were received
by the road commission Thursday
morning, and advertisement for con-
tracts will go forward in the Dade
County Times. beginning next week
and continuing for four consecutive
weeks, as provided by law, and bids
will be opened on or about Oct. 2,
which date was suggested by the state
highway commission. A representa-
tive Of the United States highway
commission will be present at the
letting. and the successful bidder will
be required to begin actua! work
within ten days from date contract

Dade county has now about $751;
900 available for this work. and the
federal highway commission is Civ

fare in a firstclass manner, and have
quite a neat sum to Appropriate for

Citizens Of Dade county have
waited patiently for three years for
the completion of the pike from the
Tennessee state line to Alabama on
the south. and they are insisting that
the road commission will allow no
unnecessary quibbling or delays
from contractors, and that they push
the work with dispatch. SO that this
section may not again be isolated
from the world during the winter
rains, as 1t has been so long in the
past.
