It is a mailer of wonder to many who see the immense tracts of unem ployed land in the county, and in the neighborhood of the city, way it re mains idle while there ate thousands of colored and hundreds of white per sons in and about Savannah who are seemingly doing nothing to earn a living. There are many reasons for this condition of affairs. Some of them can be remedied, while others can’t. One of the difficulties, and one that it seems could be mitigated, if not ie moved, is the bolding of large bodies of land, by syndicates which bought the lands during the loom times of several years ago, and which cannot now sell out their holdings at anything like their cost. The good of the community would be advanced if these now idle lands were brought under cultivation. To this end the Morning News suggests that the land syndicates transform themselves into cc-operative agricul tural companies, and take steps to make the lands productive. By put ting a little more capital into tbeir investments, and employing compe tent men as managers, the syndicates could, no doubt, get interest on the money now tied up in unproductive acres. And at the same time employ ment would be given to labor, to the benefit of the whole community. There isn’t any reason why corn, cotton, sugar cane, and probably to bacco also, cannot be raised with profit on the lands in question. It has been done, and it can be done again. Would it not be well for those who have mon ey tied up in the lands to stop looking nt their beautifully colored maps of city or suburban lots and figuring up how much they would have made bad they sold nt the proper time, and give some attention to the possibilities of the lands in the way of farming? If some of the owners would show an amount of energy in turning their lots back into farms equal to that which they displayed several years ago when they turned the farm into lots, it would not be long before profitable agriculture in Chatham would be on as great a boom as town lots once were.—Savannah News.
