CRAWFORD Business Manager, sjp■ V'W COBING IN FASI m mows SFA1KET 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. psi payIhax OR MAY LOSE VOTE Attorney General Hall Gives Tills Opinion.
