According to recent dispatched the Federal Census Bureau gives Jackson County second place in the list of Georgia countied this year in the production of hay. Experts from all sections of the state say that, Georgia has the best grain and forage crop that has ever been produced. This is due to the increase in acre age and. the favorable seasons that have prevailed during the crop making period. Two years ago the Census Bureau placed Jackson county first in produc tion of hay, and also first, in the buying of hay. It is impossible at this period t,o tell how much hay wMI be bought for consump tion during the remainder of 39135; but the yield of the tortile crop is so much greater than for merly ,t.hat with an equal con sumption, the county as a whole ought to be in better condition than in previous years. The short forage crop for last year together with the unsatisfactory I cotton crop should be sufficient Ito teach the farmer the impor tance of growing his own forage. With the advantages we have in , this section, the average ifarmer 1 can produce forage and hay as well as it can be produced else where and cheaper than it can be bouugbt at any time. This re port of the government is en couraging ,and we hope to see it put the counties of Walton, Jackson and Gwinnett, the first three on the list for 1914, not only in the production of hay,but in grain and other forage crops as well. ii... , j '!' j Finest Cotton in Georgia; Just inside the corporate limits of this city, on one of the princi pal streets of the town,we believe there is the best cotton patch in all Georgia.
