photographic work done during the

on the board. In addition, he was
one of the three founders of the
bureau and was offered a place in

ing tobacco for 50 hours without

GEORGIA'S TOBACCO
INDUSTRY GROWING
In One Year Four Million Pounds
Is Marketed and Brings Nearly
100000.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The tobacco in
iustry in Georgia, now reaching
large proportions, as shown by the
opening of the markets, was COM
paratively unknown few years
ago. 1t was introduced and promot-
ed by the agricultural development
department of the A. B. & A. rail
way, whose lines penetrate the to-
bacco soil of South Georgia.
In 1920 there was grown and
marketed at points on the A. B. & A.
4,283,793 pounds at price of 1856
AL. In 1921, due to unfavorable
weather conditions, the crop was
considerably reduced, but the grow
ers were not discouraged and con-
tinued in their efforts to make
tobacco staple crop in their ter
ritory.
The growing of tobacco resulted
in the building of drying and stem
ming plants at three points on the
A. B. & A., requiring an investment
Of half million dollars, and giving
employment to 1900 or more per-
sons during the operating season of
four months.
In time it became necessary to
construct six sales warehouses at
points on the A. B. & A lines, repre-
senting an investment of nearly
100000 and employing several
hundred persons.
The 1923 tobacco crop is said to
he the largest grown in several
years and probably of better quality
than any previous crop. 1t is a
bright yellow variety and the mil
lions of pounds now spread on the
floors of South Georgia warehouses
is attracting the attention of buy
ers from all sections of the country.
The prices received for the present
crop on opening days is regarded as
being exceptionally good.
