APPROPRIATION
BILLS SUFFER
Georgia Assembly Passed Into
History With Little Construct
i've Legislation

ATLANTA, August 199.-Failing
to pass the highway bond issue bill,
the biennial session bill, the income
tax bill, the forestry conservation
bill, and other important measures,
the 1922 session of the Georgia leg
ielature at 5 O'Clock Friday morning
passed into history.
A Confederate pension bill carry
ing an appropriation Of S1,201, ,O00
was passed, and it is expected that
it will be vetoed by Governor Hard
wick on the ground that there is
no revenue to pay the appropriation.
The only important measures that
survived the stormy night session,
aside from a number of deficiency
appropriation bills was the bill cre-
ating state auditor. The house
passed the senate bill by substitute
which was accepted by the senate.
The bill provided for state audi
tor at $4,000 year, an assistant at
700 a year salary, and requires
auditor to check all expenditures
u all departments and institutions of
TIE state. The budget and investi-
eating commission will name the
auditor.
Deficiency appropriation bills pass
ed during the night totalled upwards
of $3OO,000, three of which were
amended by the senate carrying ap-
preparations for other additional
purposes, which were all agreed to
by the house.

TOBACCOCROP
is ESTABLISHED
Is One Of Many Crops In Georgia,
According To Agricultural
Experts

ATLANTA, August 19.-Tobacco
has become firmly established in
Georgia as one of the money crops,
according to agricultural experts
here. The newspapers recently had
d broadside of reports from the mar
kets that have just opened up. The
sales reported, while not indicating
anything like wildcat prices, were
nevertheless encouraging, say the
growers. They were especially so,
it is pointed out, in view of the fact
that most of the tobacco is grown
in weevil infested territory where
cotton only was formerly grown, but
where now but little cotton can be
produced
Douglas, Valdosta, Nashville, vi
dalia, hazlehurst, Tifton, Blackshear
and Fitzgerald are the center of to-
bacco activities, which d. have now
started stream of money coming
into Georgia from their new sources
Of wealth.
The agricultural department of
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Allan
tic railway, which has taken unusual
interest in the tobacco movement in
South Georgia, aiding growers in ev-
cry way, both in planting and hand
ling their product, point out the fact
that the quality of the Georgia leaf
is, as usual, prime. In fact, accord
ing to statements of the railroad ex-
perts, it is even better than former
years. The quality of the leaf, it
is shown, improves by experience in
growing. The care and skill attained
by long experience, experts say, will
make tobacco a highly profitable
crop.
Prices Above Last Year.
The yield, it was stated here today,
is quite satisfactory, on about the
same acreage as last year, but the
prices on the same grades are some
what above what were paid last year,
while the quality Of the crop is bet
ter than last year.
It is a noteworthy fact, according
to A., B. & A. railway officials, that
the prices ruled higher in Georgia
on the opening day than other to-
baeco growing states. And this is
Notwithstanding the fact that the
first sales do not include the finest
grades of the crop grown. The lowest
leaves on the fruit that was stripped
from the stalk and the second strip
ping is generally the finest quality,
it is stated.
The prices paid on the opening
day, according to reports received
here, ranged generally from five and
ten cents on low grades to 10 cents
for the finest Georgia bright. South
Carolina did not seem to have Jared
So well. There 40 cents was the
minimum price paid on the opening.
Many farmers were said to have been
80 disappointed and dissatisfied with
the prevailing prices paid there, that
they withdrew their tobacco to hold
for higher uriceg<
