“Where tlo our first strawberries

You will answer from Florida,
but such is not the case. Tho north*
era counties of Georgia have ripe
strawDerrlcs long enough before
they aro seen in Florida. Nine*
tenths of the early sbjpments thi*
year came from Georgia, and site
is still shipping, 'riiomasville is
the great strawberry centre. It
is from < list station that the earliest,
largest, best and most berries are
shipped. It Is in that neighbor
hood that men put small fortunes
iuto strawberry farms and amass
large ones. It is Irom Thomas*
vilic that Chicago, Detroit, Cincin
nati and other Northern and West
ern cities are supplied with tho
luscious fruit, packed in refrigera
tor cars.

ANOTHER I.ARIIF. AND FREMII INVOICE OF
A BTRAWDERRY FARM.
An acre of strawberries will yield
from 1,200 to 2,000 quarts. The
yield will never be less, and it is
often much more. In a fair season
an acre of strawberry farm will pay
a net profit or from $150 to $175
per acre. The first berries com
mand a ready mirket at $1 per
quart, but an average of ten ccnla
per quart from first to lost, the farm
will pay double what it would in
cotton. Twenty acres of straw
berries at Thomasvillebad brought
in $1,300 in cash lie fore the 12th
of April, or before the Northern
fruit-raiser had takgn off his winter
overcoat. At that date the season
had only itegun. That is, the price
was down to 30 cents per quart
•nil commission houses were be
ginning to semi in orders. Specu
lators this year offered ten cents
per quart for all the berries on the
vines. This would have paid the
owner of the land a profit of $(00
per acre without lifting a hand.
The question lias liccu asked how
fruit-growing paid in Georgia, and
this is the answer: The Georgian
can make more clean cash from ono
acre than the Northern man can
make from three.
IIAUVEST TIME.
‘When do they harvest wheat in
Georgia?’’
In Pickens and' other counties
wheat was out oil the 28th and 29th
of April this year, and most of tho
harvesting in tho State was finish
ed the 15th of May. In Southern
Georgia oats are ready to cut by
I he 1st oi May. In North Georgia
they ore a wcok later. The first
haying begins about the 25tli of
April. It will thus ho observed
that the farm work which comes
in the very hottest days of the
year in the North Is tnaiuiy over
in tha South beforo hot weather
begins. liy the time wheat anil
oats arc out of the wav coru is tas.
soling out ami needs no further at
tention, and the first crop of pota
toes is about ready to dig. There
fore, unless ono i£ running a cot
ton plantation bo is not exposed to
much field work during the scorch
ing days of summer. When it is
asserted that white lalior cannot
stand the hot weather of the South
ern summer it is well to remember
that most of the crop work is done
before and alter the scorching
period.
VEGETABLES.
“What can tie done with vegeta
bles?”
Any vegetable which can berais.
ed in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana or
Illinois can bo raised in Georgia,
but the Georgia vegetables will he
six weeks earlier and from twice to
four times as large. Some day*
before Michigan had planted a po
tato Georgia was eating new ones.
We plant ia May and dig in Sep
tember or October. They plant in
March or April and dig in June
and July. The first crop is more
than equal to ours in yield and
quality. The second, planted in
July and dug in Octohier, will dou
ble ours and not half try. it is the
same with turnips, radishes, beets,
etc. Where .Michigan produces a
heel as largo as a man’s arm Geor
gia will grow ono as large as a
