CITY OF WILLACO0CHEE
Situated in the Hidst of Prosperous Farmers and
Fertile Lands, She Is Important in Trade Life
WILLACOOCHEE, Qa.. Nov. 26.—
Situated In the Southern portion of
Coffee county, near the line of Berrien,
on the Brunswick and Albany branch
of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, nt
the Junction of the Wadley and Mt.
Vernon extension, midway between
Tifton and Waycross, is the solid town
of Willacoochee, the most important
place between the points mentioned.
From a commercial standpoint Wlilo,-
coochee is a town of no small Impor
tance as towns are^kded in this part of
the country, belngHt trading center
and market town for a large, fertile
nnd prosperous territory where the
farmers raise meat, grain, hay, syrup,
etc., In abundance for sale, nnd for
home supplies, nnd make money rais
ing sea Island cotton.
The town has a population of about
1,000. There are thirty businesss con
cerns of various kinds. Including a
bank, modern ginnery, saw mill, bug
gy and wagon repair shop, livery and
sale stables, about twenty mercantile
establishments, among which nre some
up to date stores. Naval stores, lum
ber, sea Island cotton, syrup, rice, up
land cotton nnd other country pro
ducts are shipped from Willacoochee.
The town has three lawyers, three doc
tors, one dentist, five churches, white
and colored, and a public school.
As a market town It Is the leading
center between Tifton and Waycross.
Its trade is supported by one of the
finest agricultural sections in South
Georgia which extends Into the north
eastern part of Berrien county and
covers the southorn portion of Coffee,
embracing some of the most produc
tive lands in the wlregrass belt, as will
be shown In this article under the
head of "splendid farming.”
There nre few better market towns
in this part of the ntate than Wllln
coochee. The leading merchants carry
large up to date stocks, enabling them
to supply the farmers with what they
need and they are prepared to purchase
farm products at the highest market
values. They are also In condition to
accommodate the farmers whenever
they need advances with which to car
ry on their farm work. Few farmers
In this community, however, need ad
vances as they are generally In a
prosperous condition due to the diver
sified system of farm'ng which they
have adopted, raising their own sup
plies In the provision line, few having
to buy meat or grain, and raising cot
ton as a surplus crop which puts money
In their pockets every year, whatever
the price of cotton may me. Wherever
this system has been adopted by the
farmers, they are In good financial
shape and the community prosperous.
A Moral. Substantial Town.
Willacoochee Is a town of
moral, prosperous school* and churches
and prosgresslve citizens. The busi
ness and professional men are public
spirited citizens of Integrity and good
moral standing. It is a tow* of pleas
ant and hospitable homes.
There are three white churches,
Methodist, Baptist and Catholic, all of
which are In a prosperous condition,
growing as the community grows and
liberally supported by the people of ths
community generally.
Splendid Farming.
The soil of this section Is of two or
three kinds, principally the gray loam
an«l H pebbly tclay subsoiL These
Hnd* are naturally productive and can
Improved to a high state ot cultl
vaticn.
A one holme farmer In th|s section
makes on an average 12 bales of sea
Island cotton, worth about $70 per bale,
with ample provision and forage crops
for a year’s supply. Including meat,
syrup, corn, oats, hay, peas nnd pota
toes. The soil Is excellent for sugar
cane.
Velvet beans nre grown by the farm
ers for forage nnd to build up worn out
land. Farmers here say it makes the
sweetest beef nnd mutton and richest
milk and butter of any forngo that
be raised, and that It is a cheap crop
and wherever grown on land Is equal
to several hundred pounds of commer
cial fertilizers to the acre. A farmer
tested It on a four acre field, plant
ing two acres in velvet beans on which
he. pastured cattle from November to
February. He then sowed the entire
four acres In oatc, fertilising the two
with acres not planted in velvet beans
with 400 pounds of guano to the acre
nnd turning under what was left of
the beans without applying any other
fertilizer, and this part of the field
made two bushels to the acre more
than the part manured with guano nt
the rate of 400 pounds to the acre.
Experienced farmers say that more
and better stock food can be raised to
the acre in velvet beans than anything
else that can be grown In this section,
to say nothing of the great value of the
bean as a fertilizer and builder up of
worn out soil. Cusava also grows to
perfection here und is an excellent
stock food. From 18 to 50 bushels of
corn per acre Is raised by the farmers
here, with peas or ground peas plant
ed between the rows on which hogs nnd
cattle are fattened In the fall. Borne
fanners make larger yields. Hon.
Frank Burmans. state senator from
this district, made over 81 bushels of
com to the acre. Mr. J. E. Lewis of
Lcllaton. near Willacoochee, made 500
bushels of com on 15 acres, averaging
33 1-3 bushels per acre. He made 300
gallons of syrup on one-fourth of an
acre and 400 bushels of sweet potatoes
to the acre. Mr. B. F. Burner ton on
his six-mule farm near town averaged
50 bushels of eorn to the acre and 1
bale of sea Island cotton per acre.
The finest red rust proof oats In the
world can be raised here, at the rate
of 25 to 60 bushels per acre, and after
the oats are harvested In May or June,
the land can be planted In upland cot
ton. or fine crops of peavines and
crabgrass or crowfoot hay can
raised.
The beggar-weed does well here,
which makes an extra fine forage for
horses and cattle.
Fine Horticultural Section.
For practically all kinds of horticul
tural products the soil and climate of
this part of the state ai'e unsurpassed.
Grapes, pear*, plums, etc., grow as
native products In luxuriant perfection.
Peaches and melons of the finest varie
ties are splendidly adapted to the soil
and climate.
Considerable attention Is given to
the planting of pecan orchards and the
finest varieties of paper-shell pecans
grow finely. From one tree, not far
from here, pecan nuts to the value of
$68 were sold last season. It
extra fine variety, however, and were
sold at fancy prices for seed.
Good farming lands In this section
unimproved, where the timber has
been cut off, except rail timber, can be
purchased at $2 and $10 per acre,
cording to location. Improved lands
are worth 86 to 815 per acre according
29 distance from town.
Educational and religious advan
tages In this part of the country arc
equnl to any portion of 8outh Georgia.
Both Coffee and Berrien counties havo
progressive public school systems and
there are good schools and prosperous
churches in every community.
Willacoochee High School.

lic school system which is progressing
very rapidly under the efficient man
agement of Prof. T. B. Hartlg who hns

er. He hns taught a number of teach

Willacoochee a Growing Town.
Willacoochee has had a steady sub
stantial growth for several years, noth

growth that will stand the teat of time.
A number of enterprises are now un
