Pepper Industry Started Here on Small Scale Eighteen A'ears Ago Has Grown to Immense Proportions and Is Attracting Wide Attention. The pepper crop now being har vested in Spalding county will not only shatter local and sectional rec ords, but will easily give this county first place in the pepper producing counties ot America, according to available official and unofficial re ports.

Gresham, 70 acres. This year’s crop will bring the pro ducers a gross revenue of $4,000 per acre, or a total of $1,280,000 for the 320 acres planted. The production cost is understood to be about the same as that of cotton. Then the manufacturing cost in consuming the by-products runs the expense account up about twenty per cent. The growers receive a minimum of $2.60 per pound for the pepper seed when sold through jobbers. However, the price runs as high as $lO per pound for some choice varieties when sold through other agencies. The pulp will average two gallons of cat sup per bushel. The catsup is sold to jobbers at 75 cents per gallon. The pulp is also used in a variety of meat dressings and sauces and when manufactured in tnis way a propor tionately higher price is received.
