who had suddenly found themselves
loaded down with almost worthless Sc
curities and holdings, and facing the
abyss of ruin, realized that business
sagacity and patriotism demanded ac-
ton OF some kind and set about to
remedy the situation. Economy,
thrift, hard work and a sound sys-
tenn of farming was the plan decided
upon and urged upon all Georgians.
The net result is that the state to-
day, in this year of 1924, finds itself
with its head above the water" and
facing the brightest prospects for a
complete return to normally in five
years. The largest cotton, corn and
tobacco crops in several years is pre-
dicted, with an underlying belief in
tie ultimate outcome prevalent among
leading citizens h
Pioneers in Work
Among pioneers in the reconstruc-
ton program which has virtually sal
vaged this state were two outstanding
institutions, the Atlanta Trust Com
pany and the Atlanta, Birmingham &
Atlantic railroad
In justice to practically every other
worthwhile institution in the state, it
must be said that they fell in line
promptly with the program of crop
diversifcation, cooperative marketing,
and tie agitation for dairying, tobacco
and other avenues which offered re-
lief to the oppressed farmer.
The Atlanta Trust Company, one OF
the largest institutions in the south,
had been very liberal in lending mon
ey thruout the state, having the usual
mortgages and notes to secure pay
ment. With the ushering in in 1920
OF period which has tried the hearts
and courage Of the best men, as one
Georgian aptly says, the bank found
that its securities were dropping in
value, farms upon which mortgages
were held being abandoned by owners
and other collateral showed tremen-
dous deflation.
Begin Operating Farms
With three farms, comprising in all

1924 tobacco crop. In less than II
months, under the skilled hands OF
North Carolina tobacco farmers, this
dilapidated farm has been converted
into a modern tobacco farm which
will produce approximately $3O,OUO
worth of tobacco this year, clearing
up all mortgages and paying off all
indebtedness incurred in making the
crop 1t is regarded as a model to-
bacco farm in every respect and an
average of 1000 visitors visit tie harm
weekly to see its magnificent results
Students and Editors
Only last week several score Geor-
gian editors in annual meeting at Way
cross, took one day off to visit this
farm where they were royalty entertain
ed and shown about the big planta-
ton.
Students of many of the schools in
the Coffee county section have been
taken to the farm for inspection trips
during the school year, and groups OF
farmers, from adjoining states have
seen the transformation which has
taken place since the early fall oil
1923. on an average wiregrass Geor-
gia farm =,
Tobacco covers $50 acres of the
farm, and conservative estimates place
the Weld at 1000 pounds an acre The
fine quality of the leaf is expected to
bring at least 80 cents pound, with
100000 pounds already cured and and
stacked in warehouses, and lOO,OOO
pounds in process of curing at pres
ent, and will be ready for the opening
of auctions on August 6.
The story of this farm is interest
ingly told by Euguene R. Black, presi-
dent of the Atlanta Trust Company
whose foresight and confidence in the
final outcome of agriculture in Geor-
gia has been abundantly reflected in
the success of tobacco growing on
really big basis.
Black Enthusiastic
Mr.. Black is enthusiastic over to-
bacco growing possibilities in the state
and in discussing the matter with a
Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ben Hill County, Ga.) 1921-1964, 1924-07-31

many hundreds of acres of the best
farm lands in Georgia on its hands,
t." trust company q, ciGed that the
only sensible course was to begin OPP
Grating them ufon some basis, so the
work OF patching up ferces. repairing
buidings, erection CT new buildings in
many instances, purchasing live stock,
farm implements and soil preparation
got underway.
Cotton, corn, peas, peanuts, melons
the average Georgia crops-were
planted, with experimental patches in
tobacco where the soil was suited for
the leaf. In the meantime representa-
tives of the trust company were busy
interesting farmers in many other sec
tons of the state in diversified farm
ing methods urging combat of the boil
weevil, aiding in organization OF mar
keting systems and in general, stimu-
lating the morale of farmers who had
braved the bad years and remained on
the farm.
This work increased. Trust compa-
ny farms showed nice profits each
lyear, and today the farms have paid
off these mortgages, and produced
enough wealth in addition to repay for
improvements of various necessities in
the inception of the trust company's
farm program.
The Model Farm
The outstanding success of the plan
lis rejected in a 400-acre farm at Am
brose, IL miles north of Douglas. in
Coffee county, Georgia, which was TAX
en- over in 1923 under mortgage held
by the trust company. The farm had
been virtually abandoned and left to
the bank by its former owner, altho
situated in the heart of the best tobac-
section in the state.
Upon assuming ownership the COM
pany sent to North Carolina and in
duced IS families to move to this
farm to produce tobacco. New houses
for these tenants were erected, 10 to-
bacco barns were built, additional
live stock was purchased and other ad-
ditions made III preparation for the
Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ben Hill County, Ga.) 1921-1964, 1924-07-31

Constitution representative Saturday
unhesitatingly predicted that at no dis
tant dhy Georgia will become pow
erful factor in the industry. :,
1--WE had the farm thrust upon us"
Mr.. Black said, "and we couldn't at
ford to let it remain idle. We believ-
ed that the depression was temporary
that the hysteria would subside and
the state would show gradual inn
provement We believe that confidence
has been justified. A great state like
Georgia could not remain IN the
dumps for any great period.
Tobacco appeared best suited nor
this Ambrose farm, SO we persuaded
IS North Carolina families to under.
take tobacco growing on big scale.
he said. 1--WE built new tenant houses,
new tobacco barns, purchased high
qradh fertilizer and new and modern
farm implements. The North Caro-
linians agreed to furnish the labor to
make the crop, and we will split tine
profits. Both parties have made money
and everybody is satisfied"
Georgia's Advantages
In speaking of tobacco growing IN
Georgia, Mr.. Black said: georgia mas
advanta ges over other tobacco-produ!c:-
ing states in more ways than one. Gil
matte conditions, early planting and
soil advantages combine to give Geor-
eia the edge. The quality is unsurpas-
sed by any oterh section. even the
famed Piedmont regions and an aver
age net return of crop of tobacco, is
Just above five times more than that
derived from the average cotton crop
Work. attention, skill-all are elements
which are vital to successful produc-
ton of tobacco, but hardly more so
than is necessary to raise cotton at
profit"
THE latitude of Georgia places our
tobacco on market in August. These
North Carolina and Virginia markets
dio not open until about the middle OF
September. The above statistics do not
include the cigar leaf tobacco grown
under partial shade in southwest Geor-

f., The Weld and returns of this to-

gia. The yield and returns of this to-
bacco are equally satisfactory.
indications seem to point to con-
siderable increase in Georgia's bright
leaf tobacco acreage for 1924. World
statistics show a large increase in the
consumption of smoking and cigarette
tobacco AS this trade principally abb
serbs our bright leaf tobacco, we can
reasonably hope for continuation OF
the present interest in Georgia tobac-
co production.
Work of A. B. & A.
With the collapse of business in
general in 10000, the Atlanta, Bir-
mingham & Atlantic railroad, running
thru the heart of what is regared as
the richest and most fertile section of
agricultural Georgia, found its ship
ping business showing tremendous
slumps and keenly felt the havoc
! brought by the boil weevil Officials
of the road visited the section and
discussed conditions with hundreds of
business men and farmers of the area
and decided upon course similar to
that mapped out by the Atlanta Trust
Company.
Otter railroads fell in line and with
in short time the gospel of dtversi-
fcation was being effectively spread
thru every nook and corner of the
state.
More than 20 counties thru which
the A. B. & A. road runs are recog-
nized as probably better suited for to-
bacco tan any other Georgia counties:
TIE road runs thru a great majority of
the counties in which tobacco is pro-
duced in any large quantity at present.
Why Road Acted
In speaking Saturday of the pioneer
work the road had undertaken, J L.
Edwards, vice-president,. said; we
saw that something had to- be done.
Our business slumped, those had con-
tributed much to the growth and up
buildisg of the particular section thru
which our road runs, were pessimistic
and hardly knew where to begin. We
believed in the ultimate outcome and
