Toombs county, from the best data
obtainable, has shipped or sold out of
the county 225 cars of hogs during the
past season. T’art of those hogs were
shipped through Lyons and VldaJia
while part was sold to buyers from
Uvah.ii. This is the largest hog crop
this county has ever produced and
ptiaycd a big part in keeping the
farmers financially "on their feet .
For a county that shipped compara
tively few hogs five years ago this is
an excellent record. The shipment of
cattle has been very heavy and is
weeding out ag reat many of the scrub
cattle leaving better breeding stock
at home for prot.ucing futnr e ship
ments. Cooperative hog sales were
established here this spring through
the cooperation of the county author
ities and the State college of Agricul
ture with highly satisfactory results
to the farmers. Grading pens w.ll
be established at Lyons and Vida la
this summer to hold sales regularly
this fa 11 and winter. Already the
lumber anc.' scales are on the ground
for the Lyons' pens and the authori
ties are waiting on the railroads in
regard to the location before Instat
ing them. The plan Is to hold a sale
r month or more as needed at both
places so as to furnish a ready mnr
ket for the farmers. Onttfe will he
handled largely In cooperative ship
ments Instead of sales though it Is
highly probable that a good many will
be sold In snips similar to tlie hog
sales.
One of the most original associa
tions In this territory Is the Vldalia
Dewberry Association whcl) has ship
ped out 7,200 quarts of dewber
ries valued at $2,000. Home %fartn
ers report yields of SIOO.OO per acre
which Is very good. This association
Started a short time ago with a very
few members anc.' only a very small
acreage It shipped the surplus ber
ries to other markets as the surplus
developed until now they are ship
ping to several markets. The aim of
the Association Is to ship In carload
lots as scum as the vlel d is large
enough. This does not seem to be
very far off
Six cars of cured and five cars of
hilled sweet potatoes were shipped
from the county this year and had the
organization of the local sweet pota
to growers been functioning at the
time shipments hilled potatoes could
easily have been doubled. The Associ
ation while not completely organized
to the extent of owning Its own house
or having storage space arranged for
nre expecting to have that worked out
by the end of the summer. This
summer Mr. \V. L. Duncan, enter
prising grower and the farmers co
operating with him will very probably
ship two cars of tUg Stent Jersles to
the northern markets. The otit'nok
at present is that there will be one or
two early ears of Porto Ricans to
leave this county too. Sweet pota
toes canbe produced here early enough
to reach the market whl'e the prices
nre good if beds are properly pre
pared.
One of the most oustandlng dev
elopments of this year is the new
$35,000 < airy plant installed by Mr. W.

P. C. Smith near Lyons. This barn is
one of the most modern in the South.
It is equipped with modern machin
ery throughout, with litter carries,
water cups, electric lights and fans,
pipes for carrying the skim milk from
the milk room to the hog house, steel
stanchions and other up-to-date equip
ment. The barn itself Is well lighted
| convenient and very sanitary. Mr.
i Smith has purchased .32 Jersies which
Tuesday of this week. He ig using
a weel bred hull of the Fox blood lines
to head his herd and has secured a
bull that should mean a great deal to
his herd. Mr. Smith intends Increas
ing hi« herd to about 48 cows. He
already has contracts offered foreither
whole milk or sweet cream which as
sures him a steady market for his out
put. Mr. Smith has had a long and
successfu' experience In the Hard
ware business and brings this same
spirit that has made him so success
ful there, into the dairy buslnes-.
His herd will be a welcome addition
to the Jersey herds of the South and
he will he heartily welcomed into the
ranks of the Jersey breeders of the
State. H'is move is an Innovation hut
one that should and we believe will
mean an Inspiration to the section.
Another cooperative move made by
the farmers of this county and one
that does not deserve to he mention
ed last is thn watermelon association,
there are three locals, Lyons, Vldalia
and Ohoopee In the Southwest Geor
gia Association. A fourth, Norman
town belongs in the Middle Georgia
Association. Both of these associa
tions work In close harmony and have
been giving excellent results during
the short time they have existed. The
first car of this seasons melons was
shipped from Lyons last week and was
a 26 lb. average car. Several cars
Will probably leave this week and
then the season will open full blast.

, ATLANTA, Ga. —The sunrise of
prosperity is breaking over the entire
, section of South Georgia, accord.ng
. to the Agricultural Department of
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railway, in a statement made public
I here the other day. Diversification
is said to he the cause.
, A high water mark for the coopera
tive sale of a carload of hogs were
reached at Ashburn when they sold
t at 10 l-2c a pound. Several carloads
i of chickens were soul on the same
, general basis.
, At Waycross, Seymour Phelps came
from Michigan at.-, m *2 a&o and
borrower money to buy eight cows.
Today, Without any other source of
In come except from his cows, Mr.
Phelps owns, free of debt, 75 acres of
land well improved, a 50-cow dairy
and has loaned about $5,000 to his
neighbors.
In the same county \V. H. Whitbeck,
a farmer, is making from $lO to sls
a tree from plums, satsuma oranges
and other fruit. He is also making
money on poultry. The Income on his
land has been so large that he has re
fused SI,OOO an acre for it. Other land
with the same soil may be secured
for about $25.00 an acre, it is stated.
An lowa tenant farmer, M. H. Hend
erson, went to Wayne county without
money. He leased land for four years
and then bought a farm. He now
owns 95 acres, all paid for, and is
making money. He has devoted his
enevgiei to hog and poultry raising.
Wit,ter Tyree, of Mershan, in Pierce
county, avereaged this year $245 per
acre from english peas.
It was stated here today that every
bank in Turner county has combined
in an agreement to aid farmers who
have feed in evidence to buy pure
brec. hogs and poultry. Recently a
car of pure brec Gnrnsey bulk- was
sold to the farmers of that county and
every bank participated in helping
the farmers pay for them. This ac
tion on the part of banks was said to
have been based upon their experience
since the Ashburn Creamery was or
ganizd, which has resulted in the Ash
burn farmers paying cash for their
supplies.. It is stated that practical
ly 75 per cent of the farmars in that
county will be milking cows in the
next year.
