The candidates for commissioner of
agriculture are growing numerous.
The latest is Mr. James Hunnicutt, of
Coweta. Here is his record, as a
farmer, taken from the Atlanta Jour
nal:
“Mr. Hunnicutt farms on the inten
sive plan, and last year his clear prof
its on fifty acres of land, worked with
two mules, were $2,000. The figures
are as follows : 500 bushels of com,
28 bales of cotton, Coo bushels of
oats, 62 bushels of wheat, 50 bushels
of barley, 800 bushels of ruta baga
turnips, 12 tons of clover hay, and a
little of everything else. For instance,
from a half acre he made 205 gallons
of ribbon cane syrup, sold $30 worth
of dhne and put up 5,000 stalks for
seed. On five acres in cotton he
used four tons of commercial fertilizer
and gathered seven bales (although
the crop was considerably injured by
a hail storm), and made a clear profit
of $122—land and mule, rent and
wear of machinerv being counted in
the expenses. Altogether he had
thirty acres in cotton. He gathered
the 500 bushels of corn from seven
acres of thin land, heavily fertilized
with compost. For the last seven
years Mr. Hu.nmcutt has farmed on
the intensive system, and daring that
time he has never made less than forty
bushels of corn to the acre*
"This is certainly a good showing
for a two-mule farm, and ought to
rank Mr. Hunnicntt among the cham
pion farmers of Georgia.”
This khd of experience beats all
the “book” farming in the state.
Hunnicutt appears to be a buster. If
he runs as well as he farms, he will
get there.
