ATLANTA, August Ayes OF Geor-
gia farmers of the bright leaf TOBACCO
belt, business men and CongresSmen,
as well as State Department OF Agrl-
culture representatives, are focused on
important developments in the tobacco
situation expected today.
Chief among the scheduled oeveIop-
ments was the outcome OF meeting IN
Savannah beginning at 3 o'clock In the
afternoon at which F. B. Bomoerger,
assistant chief of the Division OF co.
operative Marketing of the Feoeral

offered at auction at the start OF the

TOURIST INDUSTRY
EXPANDS RAPIDLY
Department of Commerce
Survey Classes Americans
as Chief World Travellers.

By the Associated Press.
Touring has become an important
industry Of the world, with American
expenditures in foreign lands consti-
tuting a major source of income.
The Commerce Department CLASH
fies Americans of today as the greatest
travellers in the world. Last year, the
department estimated 1880 900 Ameri-
cans crossed into Canada, involving
one fourth of our tourist expenditures.
In Cuba the tourist trade is on a par
with the tobacco industry, being eX-
ceeded in value only by the sugar crop.
In Europe it is no less important an
industry. Professional hospitality Is
yielding large sums to Germany. France.
Italy, Switzerland and other countries
In Switzerland it Is the principal in
dustry and main source of income.
France considers it important enough to
appropriate $1,200,000A for advertising
its beauties abroad. while Germany is
reported to spend even more.
The World War Is considered by the
department to have been a tremendous
stimulus to travel, partly because of
prosperity, partly because deprecated
foreign currencies made travel attrac-
tive to the holder of American dollars,
directed our attention to European at
fractions. American foreign trade.
furthermore, expanded as did the
growth of commercial travelling, as the
interior manufacturer learned of mar
ketS in far-away places known formerly
only as geographical name.
The balance of international pay
ments Of the United States gives Ameri-
can foreign expenditures in 1927 as
no less than 5000 900, not including
all countries. and not considering
passage money, expenditures on ship
board nor purchases brought home by
returning tourists. This expenditure,
classified as invisible imports" was
greater than United States imports of
merchandise from any single country.
1t was much greater than 1858 ,000, 900
of imports from Canada where alone
our tourists spent more than $197,-
100000 or the $16S ,000, 900 merchandise
imports from FRANCE where our tourists
left $190,000,O00.
The department points out the i'm
portance of tourist traffic is not limited
to expenditures for transportation,
lodging food, amuSementS, souvenirs
and similar purposes. Owners acquire
desire for foreign merchandise, which
results in subsequent imports, and, by
word of mouth as we'll as by samples,
they advertise the products of the
countries visited.
The promotion of this traffic now is
rarely left to private effort alone, but
is increasingly recognized as a matter
for official attention. The efforts of
clubs, associations, hotels, railways and
others who profit most directly receive
official encouragement if not actual
financial support.

TOBACCO GROWERS OF GEORGIA
DEMAND BETTER PRICE RANGE

last year. would also show decided
improvement.
In view of the statement of James C..
Stone, tobacco member Of the Federal
Farm Bureau, issued during the past
week, that, despite the failure Of Geor-
gia farmers to organize co-operatives
as urged by the board before the sea-
sons crop was offered for market. the
board was ready and eager to help and
will do anything under the law" the
Savannah meeting took on added sig
nificance.
The Southeastern Agricultural Prod
ucts Cooperative, through E. George
Butler, chairman of the board, has
urged the Farm Board to use the services
of that organization to advance at least
S., 900, 900 to tobacco growers in the
present price situation. 1t is for the
consideration of this proposal primarily
that Mr.. Bomberger Is making the trip
to Savannah.
The Federal Government. through the
Office of Attorney General Mitchell. has
taken cognizance of charges made by
Senator George and Representative Ed
wards that spectators were manipulate
ing prices in the Georgia belt. Investi-
gators were dispatched Immediately into
the area to probe the charges and are
believed to have already started work.
The proposal for another investiga-
ton into charges of price manipulation
was still before the Federal Trade Com
mission, but no decision has been
reached.

Chemical National Associates was q

Nashville, Chattanooga 8 st. Louis

Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis.
Over 10 per cent Of the capital stock
Of the Nashville, Chattanooga g. ST.

Nashville, which in turn is controlled
by Atlantic Coast Line. All three roads
are placed in the same system under the
latest Interstate Commerce Commission
consolidation plan.

stock, therefore, is a minority issue and
its market price reflects this position.
There is only one class, which Is OF 500
par value. At the close of 1929 there
were 10000 shares outstanding, but
early in 1880 a 60 per cent stock divi-
dend was paid, raising the present CAPT.
talization to 256,000 shares. The book
value of the 10000 shares before the
stock dividend on December 81 last was
$241.62 a share. On March 81, 1880,
after the stock dividend, the book value
was $148.99 per share.
On the new stock dividends have
been inaugurated at the rate of SIS a
share, equivalent to So share on the
old stock. From present indications,
taking into account the falling off in
traffic in the territory served, Nashville.
Chattanooga & st. Louis will cover this
dividend twice over this year AS this
is written the stock sells around par to
give an income return of about per
cent, which would be very attractive
for minority issue provided there were
any assurance of change for the bet
ter in the earning power.
1t is this uncertainty which holds
down the market price. The company
has only one large bond issue outstand-
ing, a first mortgage per cent issue
maturing in 1878. This Is a railroad
investment of the highest grade and
sells to yield around 435 per cent.
Bond interest was earned So times in
1929. The company operates from l.
$50 miles of road from Chattanooga to
Nashville, Tenn, and from there to
Hickland. KY.
