Brings 13 Cents But Much ol Crop
Is "Spotted.”
Cotton in Thomas county is being
rushed into market at a lively rate
and from present indications it will
not be king before the crop is all in.
The very hot-weather of the last
few weeks has had the effect of op
ening nearly all the cotton at once
ami as there is practically no top
crop it probably all will be gathered
SOOTU
Cotton men say that it is laird to
make any exact estimates of what
the crop is this year as it is so badly
“spotted,” one fanner reporting a
line crop and the next having
scarcely any crop at all. It is bring
ing from 13 to 13 1-fi cents in the
m irket here and the disposition on
the part of the growers seems to he
to sell out as quickly as possible.
Seeking Remedy For
Hog Cholera.
The farmers say that the cholera
which has been reported as making
such devastations among the hogs
in Thomas county is little worse
than it is every year, butth-.it it has
been brought, more to the attentii n
of the agricultural department with
the result that steps are being made
to find out the cause of the disease
and a cure for it.
For many years this disease has
been killing out the Inigs in this
part of Georgia and the farmers
have grown to expect the loss of a
certain amount of them among their
stock. That the department has
finally taken up the matter is a sub
ject of congratulation and it is to be
hoped-that it may be successfully
eradicated,. In spite of the eholera
some very fine porkers have been
raised in Thomas. s county this sea
son, and- the high price of meat,
lias stirred up many farmers to go
into the business more extensively
Pecans On Market Soon.
The early varieties of pecan nuts
are beginning to open and drop and
the.crop will soon be on the mar
ket.
The crop of pecans is unusually
large one in Thomas county this
year and the nuts are very fine.
This crop is coming more and
more to the front and seems des
tined to be a great crop in South
Georgia. Several new groves have
.been planted in Thomas county this
year, but as vet the industry is only
in it's infancy. Last year was the
first time the experiment was tried
of shipping the. nuts to other mar
kets and it proved a great success,
the huts meeting with ready sale,
but the demand as yet is far greater
than the supply.
