HEAVY DEAL IN LANDS
PRICE PAID IS $60,000.
T. D. Hooks Buys Lands in
Lee County.
Former Park Place is
Sold to Him By L. G.
Council-Largest Deal
Made Here.
Sixty thousand dollars was the
consideration in a deal in farming
lands just consummated here, and
exceeding in extent any of the many
big deals in Sumter county lands made
here recently. This deal, which ha i
been pending for some time, was
finally closed up a day or two ago.
This big farm of aljout 4,200 acres
Mes just over the Sumter county line
in ]-*■“(' county.
It was owned by Mr. L. G. Council,
of Americus, who thus disposed of 1*
to Mr. Thomas B. Hooks, of this
city. The farm Is one of the best
cotton plantations in South Georgia.
It was originally known ks to*’
Itobert E. Park place, and embraces
in its broad domains the jamls upon
which Adams’ Station, on the Central
of Georgia railway, i3 located. Ti.e
price paid per acre is about $15. al
though the purchase df utepdils, etc
will increase that sum.
Up to date the iargest sale of land
here was 2,000 acres for the-^ound sum
of $50,000. but the palm is taken I”
this latest deal.
Quite recently Mr. Hooks sold off
1.200 acres of his farm in Sumter
county for $tS,000 to a South Saroli
Investor, and now purchases a farm
of almost four times the size of that
recently sold. Lands in Lee are very
good, but do not bring the price of
Sumter county lands.
Mr. Hooks will operate his big 4
200 acre farm hereafter, as well us
Jila fine plantation near Americus.

Wilson' to a representative of the

the nut growing sections of Florida

regard Sumter county as equal to, i*'
not better than, the best of the other
territory where pecan culture bias
made such great strides. I should sa.
that the conditions here were more
favorable than in either the Albany,
AVaycross or Monticello districts
where the.increaee in the nut orchards
has been rapid and the outlook is that
the cultivation of the pecan will be
come an extensive industry
There are two ways In which pec.m
growing con he developed in a
coun'v ’ s *:d Secretary Wilson. ’On
is ‘by individual effort, that is, by par
ties with land setting out a few acr-
in'trees on their own account and
making toe orchard a part of their
regular farming operations. The other
way Is for a large land owner, or a
syndicate, to go Into the nut plant
ing business on an extensive scale,
with the purpose of selling oft or
chards to investors who later cm
fnay become permanent settlers. The
latter plan Is the one being followed
In various localities. Between Way-
cross and Blackshear, for instance, a
