Says Elgin Is a HustHne Goo*
Place and Has Fine Farmers
—Many New Dwellings
Going Up.
I thought I would write you a
fevy“dots” from around Elgin.
Mr. Geo. Ridgeway, we are
glad to report, is improving.
W. H. Hammond patronizes all
the saw mills in his community.
Marvin Ridgeway not only car
ries the mail on No. G, but carries
the news also. He is a good ai
round fellow.
Elgin has a fine school taught by
Miss Vallie Garr, who is a very
fine teacher. She is well liked
by ail patrons.
Messrs.-A. C. Tingle, C. L.
and J. W. Maddox went up to
Atlanta last week and brought
back a bunch of fine mules
and horses. They report stock
very high.
Farming is at a standstill so
far for 1908. Much more weath
er like this will reduce the cot
ton crop more than all the reso
lutions the farmers can pass.
The farmefs cannot start late and
prepare the land well by planting
time as they term it. Some will
plow wet; others will plant with
very little preparing—all of which
gives podr results. Good and
deep plowing and harrowing
when the ground is dry gives the
best results.
There is more building around
Elgin than ever before. There
will be several fine dwellings
when they are all completed.
By the way, there are more en
ergetic, thorough going young
farmers in a radius of 3 miles of
Elgin than any place we know of.
When it comes to making things
hump 6 days in a week, 4 weeks
in a month and 12 months ip a
year, we will put D. F., J. N.
A. C. Maddox, known as Maddox
Bros., against them all.
The farmers in this section as
a rule buy very little corn and
meat. I know farmers who have
not bought any corn in 10 years.
Georgia would be a great state if
all the farmers would raise their
own supplies, but if each individ
ual' would adopt that plan he
would prosper, regardless of his
neighbor farmers.
Now brother let each one of its
try that plan this year and in a
few years we can hold our cotton
as long as we want to, regardless
of panics or any other cause.

Plain Talks on Fertilizers
A Talk to Fruit-Growers
You use a fertilizer
of course, but do you
use enough ?
The yield per acre,
and the profit therefrom
increases in far greater
proportion than the cost
of additional fertilizer.
What is an increase in
cost of $2.00 to SIO.OO
per acre for fertilizer
when the returns therefrom
show an increase of $50.00 to
$250.00 per acre?
The big Magnolia Fruit
Farms a£ Durant, Miss., tested
the well-known Virginia-Car-

This is modem intensive cul
ture, the method that is doub
ling and trebling the crops of
all kinds of fruit in

and worn-out land all
