GEORGIA S Great Tobacco Crob

GEORGIA Great Tobacco CROP
-HE marketing of the greatest crop of
tobacco ever gathered on Georgia soil
is an event of far-ranging significance.
To the growers it means inflow of some
six million dollars. To the commonwealth
it means new springs Of prosperity. Behind
it is story of bold enterprise and of battle
against grim odds; while within it are omens
of still larger effort and larger achievement
for the years ahead Moreover, the market
ing itself, now in progress at numerous
south Georgia centers, is replete with human
as well as business interest Hence it is
that The Journal has assigned staff cor
respondent and staff photograp her to re-
port those busting scenes and to show some
thing of the wondrous growth and mighty
possibilities of this infant Hercules among
Georgia industries.
Only decade ago the States entire to-
dred pounds this season it totals between
twenty-five and thrty-five million pounds.
So remarkable an increase in so brief a time
is explained, for the most part, by the i'm
perative need of money crop to- take the
place of cotton in weevil-infected territory.
Facing a crisis, the like of which had not
been known since the darkest of Reconstruct
ton days, those Georgia farmers turned to
food crops for living and to tobacco for
cash. How we'll they succeeded, appears
from this that whereas in 1914 only patch
Of ground here and there was given to the
growing of Sir Walters weed, this year
thirty-four thousand acres were allotted it,
and in the further fact that the quality of
the yield is OF the highest.
Evidently, Georgia has superior tobacco
soil. Evidently, too, adequate provision is
being made for curing, storing, and market
ing 1t Is in this last that interest now
centers, and of this The Journal will tell its
