employed members of his family IN
his Washington office.
Mr.. McMahan asserted in his al
dress Senator Dial had employed one
of his daughters as a messenger, and
that it was ''in violation of southern
chivalry to use a lady Of her culture

WHEELER To MEET
WITH Ia TOILETTE
AFTER AUGUST 70

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator
Wheeler, of Montana, independent
candidate for vice president, sent
word today that he expects to return
to Washington by August 20 from
Il vacation spent with his family on
the Massachusetts shore.
Upon his arrival he will begin
conferences with Senator La Fol
lette, of Wisconsin, the independent
candidate for president.
Representative Nelson, of Wiscon-
sin, in charge of their main head,
quarters in Chicago, intends to be
here also to discuss campaign pla2
with the candidates. Nothing defl-
mite with regard to the arrangement
o. speech making itineraries, it was
said today, will be done until the
three get together.
Consideration is being given by
Senator La Toilette to the desira-
bility of delivering several speeches
or the Pacific coast. Senator Wheel
er, after opening with an address
in New England, probably Boston,
around September l, IS expected 10
move westward and may invade the
coast states.
Requests are being received from
supporters of the independent ticket
on the coast that La Toilette also
come into that territory.
Some of Mr.. La Follette's advis-
ers are urging him to do so, AMI
it was said to be not unlikely that
he will deliver a limited number of
speeches in the northwest, in sewers
coast cities, among them Seattle and
San Francisco, and at one or two
western points, such as Denver, on
his way eastward.
Such plans, however, are still
nebulous and it was emphasized that
ic might be found advisable for Sen
ator La Toilette to leave the speech
making in the far west to his run
ming mate and confine his operations
to the east and middle west

Of approximately 5000 900, pounds

ed to around 25,000,000 pounds; a
crop conservatively valued at about
@6GO0,000, with the magnificent to-
bacco fields of this section still bare

These figures are doubly amazing
when it is remembered that barely
ten years ago the gross bright to-
bacco production of Georgia was only
slightly more than 100000, pounds;
not as much as several Georgia mar
kets already have disposed of indi-
vidually during tie opening days of
the present marketing season.
Georgia's versatile tobacco lands
are raising ether important tobacco
crops.
Around Bainbridge they are ra is
ing several thousand acres Of Suma-

declaring that the tobacco industry
ultimately will reach certain sections
OF northern Georgia.

lucky and Tennessee.
Much of the credit for Georeia's
amazing progress in tobacco culture
is directly due to the scores of indie
pendent demonstrators and tobacco
experts who assist the Georgia
farmer with his tobacco crop on a
percentage basis, to the missionary
work that has been done Oy the At
larta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railroad, the Atlanta Trust company.
which operates ceveral large tobacco
farms on which the latest scientific
methods are in use, and other rail-
roads and financial institutions, and
the Whole-hearted backing that has
been given the tobacco growers by
the banks ana business men gener-
ally throughout this section.
South Georgia has the tobacco fe.
Yer, but she is not forgetting other
staple and food crops in her enthu-
siasm, and is on the road to great
est era Of prosperity in her history,
largely due to the ready money that
is being brought in by the golden
leaf
The diversification, which has
been made doubly possible with the
advent of tobacco, has enabled the
south Georgia farmer to reduce his
cotton acreage to the point where
he can afford intensive poisoning.
In this way he is raising more cot
ton per acre than has been possible
since the boil weevil scourge began.
Thus the tobacco crop not only
brings its own benefits, but also aids
in the production of cotton, while
the ready money which the farmers
two principal cash crops are bring
