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.
