The pretty farm of one hundred acres out Lee street road to the south of Amerlcus, and purchased two days ago by Mr. .Tim SI. Furlow, will be transformed into one of the handsoin est suburban places in South Georgia. The large two-story dwelling will bo remodeled and mado entirely modern, even to the installation of many elec trie lights, while special attention will be given the grounds surrounding. Sir. Furlow will plant many acres in pe cans of flue variety, and In due time will have a magnificent grove of these wealth-producing nuts. Special atten tion will bo given the planting of grain and to raising pigs and fine chickens (not fighting gnme cocks) and on all the brood one hundred acres not a row of cotton will be planted. It will be made an Ideal suburban home In every respect. Sfanv farm wagons come to Ameri cas Friday to haul out fertilizer for the next cotton crop, as recent rains made other farm work Impossi ble. Sales of guano here are quite as large as in any previous seaso.i, undertating the planting of a full cot-, ton crop. But the farmers here, It Is believed, will plant no greater acreage in cot ton than last year, despite the temp tation to do so as tlie result of high priced cotton. , The acreage in cotton will evident ly be largo, as shown from the stand ing made by the fertilizer manufac turers to date, and the exceedingly brogbe prospects for heavier ship ments this season. The prices that have been paid by the farmers for their fertilizer have been better this season and the de mand is muchh more pronounced. The indications for this season show that there will be an increase in acreage and tender to make the cotton yield much greater. The Central railway and tho 8-a board Air Line railway report that they have handled more tons of man ufactured fertilizers this year than last. All of the railroads report a largely increased tonnage of kainlt, nitrates compared with the same period of last year. All the roads report that is their understanding that the ton- age will be much ahead of what it was last year when the season 'is Anally terminated. The movement when it does start In force is bound under the circum stances to tax the physical equipment of the railways to tho limit.
