Mr. Wells pro- gj ses to have here at that time Mr. yde Austin, president of the Aus- t? i Tobacco Company, who is re-j0f ited to be the best informed man ev the production of tobacco in the th rley belt. cb It is suggested that in a section of 64 tin try where people have had no ui perience in growing tobacco, that se e acre be taken as a maximum, un- in >s it is found that ample facilities tu e available for housing more, with ec sufficient.air space to prevent what w known as house-burning. This is si vital factor due to the fact that aii use-burned tobacco has no value. le It is expected that no less than 'ty Wataugans will raise some w lrley this year and some of the fa onsors of the movement are hope- le 1 that twice that many may be- ci me interested.
