The-antiquated idc-a that has ob
tained in the sou t)i since the wur
that cotton was tier single and only
money crop is giving away under a
more progressive agricultural civili
zation. Our formers, especially those
of smith Georgia, have long been in
bondage severe by holding on with
one
some
of the painful lessons taught in the
school of experience and wo rejoice
that they are profiting by them.
They arc beginning to find out
tlmt q profitable money crop does
not depend any more upon success
ful growth than successful market
ing. They were awuro onr soil pio-
dncod many crops successfully, but
they arc just now learning that these
crops can bo marketed with a greater
profit than cotton—mid especially the
short staple. This question of mar
keting crops is one to which our
farmers should give earnest thought,
as there can be little doubt that upon
it depends the future success of all
agricultural operations. Even the
failure of short staple cotton as a
money crop is traceable to some ex
tant to defective knowledge on this
question of marketing
The soil of south Georgia bus
always produced sweet potatoes in
perfection, but it is only recently
that the people , have commenced to
leurn they cun be marketed to profit.
A Berrien count furmer, Mr, J. E.
Williams, believing he could get a
good profit by keeping them in a per
fect state of preservation until spring
and shipping thorn in car-load lota to
Atlanta and other large cities further
north, made the experiment and his
expectations were more tlmn realized
in the result. His success bus en
couraged ethers to raise potatoes for,
marketing next spring, und the Da-
xy.rrg believes it Is tlio beginning of
a grand fttti’re for sweet potatoes as
-m<Jhey'erop.
cuiio syrup Is beginning

it has been discovered tlmt by
putting it hot from the kettle or
evaporator in to bottles or jugs,sealed
Mr-tight with wnx or resin it can be
kept Indefinitely now, fresh and nice.
It is believed if our farmers would
taka tlm trouble to put it up in clear
bottles—labeling the bottles with
printod labels bearing the words,
"Fresh Qeoagiu Syrup”—a market
can be found for It the following
spring and summer at twenty-five
oehiH a jfeV I '£
gallon In the oities. It Is .worthy a
trial at least.
llioo is also looming up us u
profitable money crop among south
Georgia funiiora The introduction
of the latest improved machinery
for cleaning 1ms wrought a wonder
ful change In tlm crop whloh has
been only an incidental one until
now.
In the southern mid southeastern
portion of Berrien oounty short cot
ton him been almost entirely super-
ceded as u money crop by the long
staples. Tolmooo is nlao receiving
some attention in the northern und
northwestern section. Aguin, atmio
of-our farmers near tlio railroads
have pi tolled upon melons and fruits
in money crops and have met witli
fair success.
Open S.nixl.
The editor of the Gazette dis
covered immediately after tlic com
pletion of tiie Georgia Southern and
Florida railroad to Vuldosta tlmt'tlie
greatest hindrance to iinmigrrtion
to this section of country was the
scarcity of open laud. He then ven
tured to advise the young men of
Berrien county, who owned tracks of
woodland which they desired to sell,
to make a settlement thereon and
clear up fifty or a hundred acres of
it, so that the purchaser would have
some open laud to begin with at his
new home. The lack of these de
siderata have spoiled many u pros
pective sale of land and deprived the
county of valued new citizens.
The truth of the above opinion
has been forcibly demonstrated the
past few weeks. Oapt. H. H. Tift
has lost several fine sales because he
could not furnish the necessary open
land. Others in the vicinity of Tif
ton have had like experience. In
deed, the Gazette is informed, tliut
Oapt. Tift failed only a few days ago
to locate near Tifton a fruit syndi
cate, capitalized at $60,000, because
lie did not have one hundred aorcs
of cleared land in n body lie could
lot them have to begin operations.
A gentleman, experienced in the
mutter, in conversation with the edi
tor upon this important topio a few
days sinoe, asserted it as his experi
ence tlmt three or four hundred dol
lars expended on a lot of land in
making a clearing would double its
value, and render it more saleable.
Quite u number of persons from
middle Georgia have come to this
scotion lately prospecting mid in
variably wanted their purohuse to
lnolude some open land und, fulling
to got it, went buck home without
buying.
Here is a knotty problem: How
is this difiioulty to be overcome ?

Southern Recognition.
Hon. B. H. Richardson writing to
his paper, tiie Columbus Enquirer-
Sun, ftom New York expresses the
following opinion relating to the
recognition the South und Georgia
would rcoeivo ut tho hands of the
Cleveland administration:
"One thing is evident to my mind
from tho impressions which Bcem to

iB.thut the new administration will

Tobacco Outturn In Georgia.
Mr. K. L. Shelvor, of Thomas
oouiity, in a lengthy letter to tlio
Savannah News upon tho above sub-
jeot'suys he has eight years expert
etioo in the cultivation of tobucoo in
Florida and Georgia. After giving
his expcrlanoo in the selection of to
bacco land—preparation of laud aud
seed beds—transplanting, cultivating
ami harvesting, concludes with the
following wise advise which wo com
numt) to our readers;
ft TbU is my mode of treating to-
bunco, but I would not advise any
man to raise tobucoo without some
oxporlrnoc, unless ho employe sonic
men who thoroughly unduriwwU its
culture, for tobacco is a plant- that
needs a great deal of attention and
Unless a person hiu> li#d n years'ex

every one to get good seed.”
