THE GEORGIANS RETURN
The Georgia farmers returned last
week from their visit to homes, farms,
vineyards, orchards, and dairies of the
Ohio farmers. They were delighted
with the trip, charmed with the open
hearted hospitality with which they were
met, highly interested in w hat they saw
and learned of tire arts and methods of
the inteligent and thrifty Western fann
ers, but above all they were more thor
oughly eovinced that of all the States in
this glorious Union Georgia is the grand
est and best. They admired the thrift
and energy of Western people and resolv
ed to adopt many of their arts and meth
ods, but are content to remain on Geor
gia soil to do it, and will extend a hearty
welcome to the thrifty Western farmers
who desire to comedown here and make
homes among us.
Of the trip the Southern Alliance
Farmer says;
The excursion of farmers to the West
was a most delightful one, and the re
turned agriculturists are loud in tlieir
praise of Maj. Glessner and their thanks
to the Central railroad for the royal time
given them.
They visited the various places men
tioned on their programe and were over
whelmed with hospitality. We ax*e
delighted with one of the results of the
expedition which is, that every man
came back more than ever contented
with Goergia and the South. While
they are profuse in their expressions of
pleasure at what they saw, and of appre
ciation of the improved methods of
farmers, yet they say that with
machinery, better business
among Georgia agriculturalists, that
Georgia will be the grandest home in
world, and that they expect to see it so.
None of them want to move from the
“olit red hills,” but they are more
ever determined to make these old
hills the .‘garden of the South.
this is the case with the Georgians it i
not so with many whom they met. The
Western men never lired of
about Georgia and Georgia’s possibilities
Many of the Western farmers will seek
homes in our State the coming
Mr. S. H. Ellis, Master of the
State Grange, in a letter to Commission
er Glessner, has this to say of the el e t oi
the farmer's excursion.
“I will not attempt to say what the
effect of your visit will be upon your
party, but I know that hundreds of our
farmers who have had the pleasure of
ineetiug face to face, in friendly converse
these representatives farmers of Goergia
have a different feeling for, and a differ
ent opinion of, the South than th y bad
three weeks ago. An occasional visit of
that kind of the people of tl.e South to
the North, and of the people of the North
to the South, will accomplish more to
wards bringing about the kindliest feel
ings and fraternal brotherhood between
the two sections than all the legislation
and the work of the politicians eouid do
in the next hundred years.”

Thomas G. Christian, of Lumpkin, Ga.
writes the Atlanta Journal thus:—
14 From three-fo m lhs of one acre of poor
land I have gathered 1.157 pound of seed
cotton and have half as much more to
pick. I have fifteen acres planted in
cotton and twelve in corn and from the
fifteen acres in cotton I have ginned and
packed six bales of cotton and am ex
pecting to get six more. From the
twelve acres in corn I have secured 2,300
bundles of fodder and have gathered 103
bushels of corn and five and a half acres
of the best land to gather yet; all of
which 1 have made and gathered myself
excepting th^ expenditure of about $35
lor hoeing and pulling fodder.”
Christian Index:—There are 40 coun
ties in middle Georgia, and of this num
ber 32 have adopted the no fence law,
and in each of the remaining8 counties,
there are certain districts which have
also adopted the law. Without an ex
ception these eonnties report that the
“no fence law” has given general satis
faction.
