Big Tobacco Crop.
Grown In Georgia
Markets In South Georgia Alive
With Buyers, Paying Good
Pr.ces-Growers Oppose Tax

ATLANTA, Aug. Georgia to-
bacco markets, which have just been
opened for the season, present busy
scenes, with hundreds of growers and
buyers thronging the warehouses,
whose floors are covered with the
bright leaf as never before, according
to reports received here.
At many South Georgia towns,
where the warehouses are located. par
tlcularly along the line OF the A. B. &
A., railroad, reports state, there is
scarcely parking room in the ware
house territory for the automobiles,
trucks and wagons,
Among the South Georgia counties
which produced good crops are Col
fee, Atkinson, Clinch, Berrien, Irwin,
Ben Hill, Telfair, Wheeler, Toombs,
Tatnal, Appling, Pierce. Bacon and
Jeff Davis. - .--'-----------
The present crop, A. B. & A. Off
Gals report, shows the best and the
brightest grades ever offered on the
market on opening days, and al
though it consisted of the first pick
ings of sand Tugs, the prices ranged
from $40 to $45 hundred pounds,
making a general average price of $40
hundred
Reports received here show that
there has been a considerable increase
i'll tobacco acreage this Year in several
LOT the market zones and the average
yield in many instances, will run to
about 1000 pounds to the acre. 1t is
stated that the growers have learned
how to cure and grade the staple so
as to obtain the best possible prices.
The offerings at various markets
particularly at Douglas, Triton and
Hazlehurst and other towns in the i'm
mediate section, were larger and OF
better grades of first pickings than in
previous years, while the future daily
sales will bring out the better grades
and consequently better prices.
Experts are quoted as saying that
the growers are more enthusiastic ov-
er the tobacco industry this year than
they have been at any time in the
past and the announcement is made
that next years crop will be largely
increased.
The statement is made by mum
Der of tobacco experts from the Car
olinas that the soil in South Georgia
produces as good, if not better, bright
leaf tobacco than North and South
Carolina.
