Pass ger Agen EACTs ABOUT FARMING. Interview with a successful Farmer._ Small Farms. Dairy Farming. Der muda Grass. 810,000 a year from thirty acres On a recent visit to the Exposition we met Mr. Frank P. Jones, of Burke. Having known him in his own county, we were familiar with his reputation as a man of tine practical sense, and as a farmer of extended and successful experience, Hence we looked with consideration upon his statements. In _ a conversation on niatteis .... of farm ing he gave us some facts and ideas which we deemed of interest to the readers of The Democrat. We briefly , . „ . them. ., give "Your paper,” said he, "has taken the right stand on the subject of small farms. People must come to it in the course of t ... time. 1 he . best . plan , is . . to begin now. I will give you some of my own experience on the subject, p own about a thousand acres in Burke county. That land I have divided in to a number of small farms, placing tenants on each. One hundred and forty acres 1 have reserved for myself, Forty acres were planted this year in corn, peas being planted between the rows ; forty acres were planted in oats, and after that peas on the same ground , ; forty , . were devoted , to cotton, and the remaining twenty to You will see from this that I am not an advocate of large crops of cotton to the exclusion of other things, 1 think our farmers give TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO COTTON and , too . ..... little ... to ot.ier products. , , My plan is much the more profitable from several points of view. In the first place there are other things pay better. Take watermelons for stance. My twenty acres ot water melons have paid me as much as cotton this year with less than half Vol. 5. abor. During a previous season they paid more than twiee as much. I have a cousin farming in the same county— Br. W. B. Jones—who devotes great attention to them and makes a fine profit simply from the seed of the mel¬ ons. They pay him an average of from ten to in teen cents a head in that way. He runs a farm of thirty acr \ devoted solely to the raising of seeds of various kinds, which fays him a profit of about 37000 a year. The seeds of the old fashioned collard paid him 8250 an acre thisyear.” “But , is there not trouble in finding a nr .ritet ?” we asked. “None whatever. lie finds A READY market not . only . in . the . >»outh, but , ln in the t . North and \Vest. Of ->urse he adver tines, but outside of two or three agri cultural journals he does little in that Hne. There is nothing that keejis back our Southern farmers more than this idea of all cotton. My plan is ti RAB* RAtoK EVBRTTBIKG FVFUVTHiNfl I I NEED NEED AT VT HOME, HOME as lar as possible. I have followed ^ a " d baV6 l ° il upon the negroes who work for me. The result is that some of them are ™ ol « independent by far than the ma ) or) ty of white farmers in Georgia. I had one man with me who staved on my place until he had accumulated about 8900. This he put into-a pieceof land. bv following my plan he is to-day worth $2500, and is out of debt. He boo ht his place J" five years 7, ago. This man lives ,, as veil as i f do luyseir. There are many ways in which our farmers .n make more money than by devothig tlieir whole attention to cotton. One thing I have great faith in is daIry farming. I . expect ..... to give it good , deai . . of . at a tention hencefoith. Iam starting to clear 100 acres of swamp land and put it in Bermuda grass for that pi»pose. Men of experience in that Iinfi anv it wi-i maintain from five to ten hdM of c ti'e per i ere. At a low estimate this much land will maintain 500 cows. But Blip pose you put the figures down to -me cow to the acre, it will (reap up a herd of ICO cows. Say that eamb tha. ■ will give three gallons of milk or »W-nd of butter licr day. At ttoen ty-fire or thirty cents a pound you ifc to it* full capacity, but I expect UBie to come when it witt net me about ^ ^ VRAit, Then a good deal can bo made by the manufacture of cheese, if one chooses to go into that line. It is one of the t,‘r. most profitable industries of Z™ this conn- 1 ^.’ and Ann you vou alwavs always taree have a ,i good mar kut ' 1 expect no difficulty in getting a market tor anything or. my farm. I can easily dispose of every pound of butter I im*ke to advantage As to labor very little help is needed.

They ought to firing $20 a head in beef at a year old Then vou have four or live tons of manure a year than JirCv any commeicial fertilizer you C; u get. “According to your idea then the much abused HEKMUDA GRASS MAY BE MADE A BLESSING after all?” “Oh, yes. And it not only makes fine pasturage, but you can plow it up and use the roots for hay. Suppose you have fifteen or twenty tons of roots to the acre.

In a conversation with Judge Beazley our respected and popular Ordinary he endorsed strongly thu views of The Dem¬ ocrat on the subject of small farms. Said he, “I wouldn’t exchange twenty miles around CrawfordviUe for any coun. try 1 know of.
