liberal though not excessive rains du
ring the week, and the most abund
ant corn crop will be made this im
mediate section of Lowndes and Ber
rien has ever produced. LftJ to this
week the crop, although fine and
clean of grass and weedsy was liable
to be cut' off by drought, but the
nice raliis, free from wind and bail,
which have fallen on the crop during
the week insures a good yield.
This is the way to “develop Ber

In this connection I am forcibly
struck with tho mannor in which two
quiet citizens who live near are lay
ing off the rows for others to farm by.
Mr. Noel L. Rountree, three miles
west of Cecil was born on the place
lie now lives on over forty years ago;
was raised there by a model farmer,
and Ims bought no supplies. I was
over his farm a few duys ago, and his
corn and peanuts were laid by in a
clean state, with a well pulverized
soil. He will gather fully 85 bush
els of corn per acre on land that was
cleared in 1840, a red clay hill. lie
has over fifty hogs to fatten in the
fall, but they cannot possibly eat over
75 per cent, of the peanuts and pota
toes lie will make for thorn. lie
planted oats on a field and that crop
failed by the oats being killed in the
winter. Ho B.aw the hint given out
in tho papors, and planted next time
in corn, lie will gather over thirty-
live bushels of corn. Not only his
farm, but his garden, orchard and
dairy yield him pleasure and profit.
Mr. Rountree was at onetime a fort
une hunter, and ho was a successful
one too, as he found a little brown
eyed girl who has made him a wife,
in every sense of the word. A day
spent with this worthy farmer and
his amiable wife, and two quiot,intel-
ligent boys, is more pleasant than a
seat in tho legislature.
* * »
East of Cecil one mile lives Mr.
I ah am J. King, a farmer who is un
cxceliod by any man in Bcriion conn
ty. A gentleman competent to judge
said yesterday, ‘ That field will gather
forty bushels of corn per aero,"point
ing to a little four-acro patch. One
hundred and sixty husliclsof corn on
four acres of a poor gravolly ridge
of pine land, speaks volumes for Isham
King. Hut there is an appendix,Mr.
King did not depend on four acres
for corn enough. He planted four
times that muon, tiosldes lits peanuts
1 ample iu acreage.
farm I speak of belongs to Mr. John
esc two farmers were brought N. Bray, a man who could have bad
up between the plow-bandies, and are
not’yet weaped. Now, these gentle
men raise cotton ton* but it is an en
tirely surplus crop. Mr. Rountree
runs' fonr, and Mr. King one plow,
and they/only grumble that wages are
too low to erapfoy nelp.
Their homes are ornamented with
flowers and indoor decorations, and
where they live is a pleasant place to
visit. These gentlemen are high
types of our rural population, but
there are many others doing as well
While wo are bpwling for emi
grants to corne lit and dispossess ns,
we would do well to doff our ooaU,
hitoj} up our plows and illustrate
South Georgia, and demonstrate to
tho world that we are a high steppin,
race of farroeis, in the best all-in-al
country on God’s green earth.
I would be kind aud courteous to
the stranger within our gates, bat re
member that Abraham only bought
the cave of Macpelak at the first,
Moses only saw the goodly land from
Pisgali’s top, Joshua led the horde
across the river to utterly destroy the
nations of Palestine.
The serious questions for South
Georgians are: What shall we do ?
Shall we part with our Farther-land
to a strange people, and putting the
money in our pockets, look for a new
country, or shall we, when we cease
to own tlie land, stay here and be
farm laborers for the strangers, or
shall we all retire from the tillage of
the soil into other pursuits ? It will
take another generation for us to
raise preachers, teachers, lawyers and
doctors superior to those coming as
emigrants.
I would that my own people should
open their eyes to the situation, and
choose to-day,while it is not too late,
to inhabit tho Fatherland.
* * «
But a little farm, paid for,has great
possibilities. I am just fiom a visit
to a tlirce aero farm that would open
the eyes of the blind, or tlie oars of
tlie deaf.
One acre in corn, good for fifty
bushels.
One acre in peas, among the corn
One acre in sugar cane, 400 gal
lons of syrup.
One acre was in outs now in pota
toes.
Can gather tlie corn and peas and
have half acre each in turnips and
cabbage, and tliu potatoes again in
oats. What a support, with pigs and
poultry that three acres would make
for a small family, and easily five
forty acres messed over as easily as
he has had three acres thoroughljr
cultivated. Years ago, I knew a lady
who had a shiftless hatband, addict
ed to drink, and who pretended to
live os a mechanic. The homeless
wife bought one acre of land, near *
village, on credit. She sewed and
saved money until she paid the five
dollars purchase money, and her hus
band with her help built a little
house on it. She kept at work, and
saved, until she had, in three years
neat oottage on a five acre farm,
well fenced, and a good orchard,cows
i>igs and poultry. She ia living on
t yet,in ease and compa.ative luxury.
To sum up: You who have homes,
beautify and enrioh them. Make
them, and esteem yhem, next to
Heaven.
If you have not, pinch, save, deny
yourselves until yon own one aore
al least. That you can cultivate
with lioe and spade, if you must, and
all the crop will be yours. Remem
ber that tliose who are not land own
ers are paying the heaviest taxes of
any class of citizens, and get the least
protection of law. By all.means,own
a home some where—some how. It
is the high road to independence.
Five dollars will secure one —even if
a, little—so buy and add to it.
