He Succeeds- 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. Safannah lias been in gala attire this week. At LEVYS.
