J. J. Hanesley, Americus, Ga.
The above is given as a conserva
tive estimate of the value of the agri
cultural products of Sumter county
for the year 19011.
At the rate the county is develop
ing, with the subdivision of the large
plantations, the opening up ot new
lands, and the heavier fertilization of
the soul, with consequent greater pro
duction to the acre. It Is but a matter
of a few years when the value of its
agricultural products, even with cot
ton selling down to 9 or 10 cents a
pound, will aggregate a cool live mil
lions of dollars, making this one of the
greatest agricultural counties of tlie
United States.
There arc those who assert that this
year the aggregate value of all agri
cultural products 111 the county will
reach the $9,000,000 mark, but the
above is given as a result of the es
timates of men inclined to he cau
tiously conservative in their estimates
of the average yield per acre, who rec
ognize that while some farmers have
greatly increased the average produc
tion ot corn, oats and hay, many have
not done so, and while the averages
used in computing the above figures
may not do full Justice to the value
ot these crops In Sumter they cannot
be accused of being In anywise an
overestimate.
Cotton, ot course. Is the great
money crop of the county, yet it is
by no means, as shown, and as wel
known to Sumter county people, the
only great crop of this county.
The production ot the county Is
placed at 33,000 hales, raised on nbout
75,000 acres of land. This cotton is
shipped into Americus, Plains, DeSoto
and Andersonville. Considerable cot
ton conies to Americus from I,ee and
Webster counties as well. Placing
the average price this season at 121-2
penis a pound, and the average weight
of a bale at 300 pounds, the average
value per hale is $62.30.
In oats it is estimated that there
was ;ui acreage this year of approx
imately 20,000 acres, which netted an
average crop of twenty bushels to the
acre, worth 70 cents a bushel or $14
to the acre, a total value for that crop
or $280,000.
On this same oats laud was grown
a mugnifleent erhp of hay. From the
com fields nlso came a heavy produc
tion of hay. Both are estimated us
equivalent to 30,000 acres producing a
ton to the acre, worth $20 a ton, or
$600,000 for the hay crop of the
county.
Corn is the second greatest crop
in the county, in regards to acreage
and value, coming directly after cot-
ion. Approximately 50,000 acres of
corn was under cultivation this year.
With the Improved cultivation ot the
past two or three years twenty bushels
lo the acre is regurded as conservative
statement of the yield, worth $1 a
bushel, or a total valuation tor tho
corn crop ot Sumter of a cool one mil
lion dollars.
To these four great crops of the
county there must he added the peach
crop, the BUgar cane crop, with its
thousands upon thousands of gallons
of the finest Georgia syrup, the water
melon and cantaloupe crops, the pn-
talo and other vegetable crops, the
poultry and other money producers
of the farms of the county. The value
given tor the total ot all agricultural
production outside ot the tour crops
is regarded as none too excessive.
It is estimulcd that about 173,000
acres of land were under cultivation
in the county. In the estiinntes made
tiiere was no account takeu of the
thousands of little patches cultivated
by the negroes for their home use,
which, of course, are really a money
element In the life of the county, pro
viding tills labor with some of the
necessities of life ilrectly at home.

Quite Likely.
The large steam ginnery cm the G.
\Y. Council plantation, twelve miles
east of Americus, was destroyed by
fire at 2 o'clock yesterday morning,
together with all contents of coticn
bales, cotton seed, gins’ engine, etc.,
everything a complete loss.
When discovered the tire was loo
far advanced for anything in * lie
building to he saved.
The origin of the fire is supposed
to have been accidental, Mr. L. G.
Council stating that it probably start
ed from smoldering fire left in the en
gine overnight.
Ten hales cotton, besides the cot
ton seed from one hundred bales,
were destroyed, and the total loss, in
cluding seed, gins and engine, togethet
with the large ginnery, will probably
total $5,000, if not very considerably
more.
There was insurance of $1,500 upon
lie building, etc.

this tube is Inflamed you have a rum

when it is entirely closed. Deafness
