'"Be»t Year Since the War

'The best year since the war," 1
is a common expression in the (
Atlantic and Gulf states. The '
tobacco farmer in Virginia and '
North Carolina are getting top 1
prices for leaf tobacco, thanks to '
the ?;eal competition, in spite of
common ownership, between the
buyers and the companies of the
dissolved Tobacco Trust. The
drought in Texas and Oklahoma
cut short the Texas cotton crop a
million bales and lifted the price
of cotton. In Georgia „two and
•ne-half million bales were, pro
duced this year, which means, at
500 pounde to the bale, at the
price of 14 cents a pound, S7O a
bale, with $lO added for the cot
ton seed, from which is made the
- T»or man's butter and the rich
.man's .salad oil- $200,000,000 for
Georgia's cotton crop; $1.120,000,-
000 for the foureen million bales
the South produces this year,
The banks in the cotton belt show
XT eater assets and deposits than
ever before. The cotton factories
are running full time, inspite of

uttered while Ihe tariff bill was
pending. With the tariff bill
