Georgia's Experience
With Tobacco
Many Valuable Lessons Learned In
Seven Years Experience in Growing
Tobacco in South Georgia
BY EDISON c. WESTBROOK

By EDISON c. WESTBROOK
The indications at presen. point to
an increase in the Georgia tobacco
acreage estimated anywhere from 100
to 800 per cent. In view of this fact,
it would seem very important that the
prospective new growers be informed
OF the methods OF producing tobacco
that have proven to be the most prof
table.
This year South Georgia produced
9,10l,34 pounds OF bright leaf tobac-
co, which averaged $3.50 per humid
red. 1t was the best quality crop
| Georgia has ever grown. 1t was the
first crop that created any favorable
comment worthy of consideration from
the tobacco buyers. We at last seven
years to get the recognition. We did
not get it sooner because many of
our farmers did not learn many of the
line points OF the business until they
had had few years OF experience. We
must maintain our reputation for pro
ducing good tobacco.
Avoid Previous Mistakes
There are some excuses for many
of these farmers making mistakes be-
cause they were growing new crop
under new conditions. They were
blazing the trail Prospective new
growers should not have to go through
all of the struggles the earlier grow
ers had to go through with.
If the tobacco acreage is increase.
as much another year as is indicated,
there will be more tobacco produced
by the new growers than the total
crop for this year. Large quantities of
low grade tobacco next year would de
press our markets and create d ssat-
isfaction.
We believe that every person inter
ested in the promotion OF tobacco
should use every available means to aid
in supplying tobacco growers and pros
pective growers with the best and
most complete information available on
the subject.
The outlook at present indicates that
we are likely to meet keen competi-
ton next yer, due to an indicated lar
ger acreage in Virginia and the Caro-
linas. The best way to meet this com
petition is with high quality tobacco.
The Georgia State College of Agri-
culture has for distribution bulletins
entitled Tobacco Culture" and THE
Cost of Producing Bright Tobacco.
These bulletins will be mailed free up
on request. They can also be obtained
from your county agent. They con-
tain very detailed information and
should be very helpful to the new
grower. Only farmers who are willing
to do all of the things necessary for
thc production of high quality tobac-
CO she lid be encouraged to grow it
Select we'll drained sandy loan
soil Dc not select the richest land
nor the poorest. Land of medium fer
fly is best. Do not plant after
heavy crop of velvet beans or cow
peas

PEELED TrutkfuIness,
Harding Says.

Washington, u. C.. April Ca
rev story about President Harding
went the rounds in Washington yes
terday and it was a true story be-
cause the President told it himself in
the course of his informal address
Saturday night before the American
Society of Newspaper Editors.
The story was related by the Presi-
dent as one of the motivating influ-
cnces which in his later life as editor
Of the Marion Star led to the adoption
Of code of ethics for his newspaper.
In the language of the President
the story follows:
when | was a boy about S years
old, it was my fortune every summer
TO 90 to the home of my grandfather
on the farm. One of my chores was
to bring in the cows at milking time
and one evening ! got my orders to go
for the COWS and was unwillingIy
complying, but as | skipped along,

called sailor'-a thin stone you

And. by some misfortune of fate.
the sharp edge of this stone struck
a fine big gander right in the side
os the head and he wbirled half
dozen times and fell dead.
"ln my excess of sorrow that | had
killed the gander and my sense of in

after the cows without making a word
Of explanation. And. when came
back | found my grandmother pluck
ing the gander TO save the feathers
and grandfather was Grating. He had
examined the dead bird and had con.
cluded that it had been killed by a
very ill-behaved turkey gobbler, and
he had reasoned out th3i the gobbler
had struck him in the side of the head
and had killed him and thereupon de-
creed the gobblcr should die.
And there ] stood, boyish cul-
prit and liar through omission say
ing nothing in the gobbler's defense
and he went TO the block. and | helped

CHEMICAL CASE ENDS
Question Probably Will Go to Supreme Court, But Arguments in Present Trial Go Over Until October.

Wilmington, Del, July 24.-After eight weeks the trial here of the gov crnments suit against the Chemical Foundation, Inc, to set aside the sale of 5,700 seized enemy dye and chem ical patents sold to the foundation by the alien property custodian in 1919 came to an end late last night before Federal Judge Morris. Final argu- ments will be heard in October.
 It is the expectation here that the case will be taken to the United States supreme court for final adjudication. The government charges conspiracy in connection with the sale and that the price of S25o,O00 paid for the pat ents was "shockingly inadequate"
 In the normal course final adjudi- cation would require several years and in that time many of the patents in ' olved would expire.

DIVORCE BY CONSENT
Usual French Procedure is Followed In Giving Irene Castle Her Freedom From Captain Fireman.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, July 24.-The divorce grant ed yesterday to Irene Castle Fireman the dancer. from her husband, Cap tain Robert F. Treman of Ithaca, N Y, appears to have been arranged by mutual consent on the ground that he refused to observe the marital rela- tions and upon her application.
 Such method Is usual in French procedure which allows divorces by reciprocal consent unlike American law Under French practice it Is rec ognized to be entirely correct for the husband and the wife to determine upon divorce when the only solution of their domestic difficulty appears to them to be dissolution of their mar riage.
 In such cases the judge gives the applicants a certain period of time within which to reconcile their differ- onces. If, when that period e!apses they remain unreconciled, the decree is granted if other conditions are full filled.

TURKS SEE PEACE
 AFTER DOZEN YEARS
Near East Treaty Will End Long
 Period of Active Warfare

Lausanne, July e4.-Europe's task of making peace with Germany, which required eight months of nego- tiations, was immensely complicated because Turkey, although vanquished in the world war as an ally of Ger many, came to the council table at Lausanne as victorious nation. Turkeys reconstructed armies, con sumed with patriotic fervor and de- sirous to make themselves free from the foreign invaders had completely routed the Greek forces and driven them to the shores of Asia minor.
 The Turko-Greek war produced a great soldier-Ismet Pasha. who, in the negotiations here has shown him self to be one of the great states msn of Europe. Ismet worsted the Celebrated Lord Curzon, the British secretary of state for foreign af- fairs at the first stage of the Lausanne x conference.
 < The head Of the Turkish delegation constantly played two cards. The firat was Europes ambition to re- store peace in the Near East at al- most any price; his second trump was the exaggerated importance Turkey possessed as a world power through her geographical position ! her contiguity to the Straits of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorue which long have been a subject of world contention.
 Annexed to the treaty Of Lausanne is special straits convention" whereby the waterways linking the Mediterranean and Black Seas hence- forth are thrown open to both the warships and merchantmen of all nations It Is an unanimous verdict that soviet Russias last minute de- cision to adhere to this agreement stands out as the most significant single feature of the Lausanne con- ference; bolshevik Russ.a probably has committed Russia for all time to opening the straits to men, Of war; thus giving a new turn to history.

 The American diplomatic represen- tatives headed by Joseph c. Crew, minister to Switzerland, were q big attraction in all the sessions of the conference. As observers they played $ dominating role in the last phases. They successfully insisted upon i'm clusion in thetreaty clauses enforcing the application of the traditional American principles of the open door and equal opportunity.
 Attempts to gain preferential treat ment tn the future of economic con- otracts for foreign companies were de- feated as was also the effort to vali- date disputed British concession in the petroleum fields of Mesopotaria.
 Turkey has been at war for ? con secutive years and conclusion of the Lausanne negotiations gives her sorely needed opportunity for period of national reconstruction and develop ment.
