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.

X suffered foi a long time from dull pains through jacent to Americus.” said Secretary Wilson' to a representative of the Times-Recorder. ”1 have visited ah the nut growing sections of Florida and Georgia and, speaking candidly, 1 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 concern for which’ I am horticultural- ist, has bought 4,000 acre3 of land, offers it for sale for pecap culture in blocks of five acres, and contracts Repairs Put Rooms Out of fp Commission.

Every effort is made to put the trav eling public upon notice when the ho iei is filled, and'messages are sent to towns round about advising people not to come here Oftimes the advice is not received in time, and traveling men come hero .by the late night trains only to find every room in the hotel taken.

Down near Mobile a Chicago concern has sold 120 five-acre tracts on this plan, In Dougherty county tht same method is being operated, also In AVare, and there is every reason why it should succeed in Sumter county. This means a steady income to toe county from outside sources, devoted to the build ing up of the nut industry, and at the end of that time probably a number of settlers coming in. Of course man neqd not coniine himself to five acres, but the land is generally soi l In multiples of that figure, that is five, ten, fifteen or nipre acres. “Those contracting to do this work put out a two-year-old graft on a three-year-old root, the typical ideal tree.
