And through the summer night

The sweat doth come in splashes.

And mosquito net for clothes

One of the most important and
significant announcements on the
line of industrial development in
South Georgia that we have noted
in some time comes from the en
terprising town of Valdosta and
has reference to the establishment
of a mammoth cane sugar factory
there. We are told in a dispatch
from Valdosta that Michigan be^
sugar men are behind the ente™
prise and desire to establish a
large central factory in south Geor
gia. The factory will cost apffrox-
imately $500,000, and will have a
capacity of 600 tons and more per
day. .
To secure the establishment of
the factory it is necessary for the
farmers to guarantee to grow cane
enough to supply the factory. The
promoters want .contracts covering
2,000 adses of cane within a radius
of 50 miles of Valdosta by rail, and
the indications are now that there
will be no trouble in securing that
quantity.
It is understood that $4 per ton
will be paid for the cane /delivered
at the mill, and as it can*be deliv'
ered within a radius of 50 miles at
50 cents per ton, the growers will
receive $3.50 per ton net. At 15
tons per acre, which is propably
less than the average yield, grow-
would receive $25.50 per acre for
their cane. Yields of twen ty-five
and thirty tons to the acre are
not unusual.
Valdosta has a live board of
trade and the promotion commit
tee of that organization has the
proposed enterprise in hand. Val
dosta is setting an example on in
dustrial lines and exercising
spirit of .community enterprise
which other more pretentious cit
ies and towns of the state might
follow with advantage to them
selves.—Albany Herald,
