ITS REVIVAL IN LOWER COUN
TIES OF GEORGIA PROMISES
GREAT RESULTS.
US SUCCESS IN TEE FAST
The Famous Hopeton Floatation In
Glynn County—Successful Results
Achieved There Years Ago.
When the farmers of southern Geor
gia go extensively into the cultivation oi
these two important crops, sugar mills
aud starch factories will join the cotton
mills in giving employment to thou
sands and adding to the wealth and
greatness of the ‘Empire State of the
South.” Exhortation should follow ex*
hortation and line upon line and pre
cept upon precept be added, until every
industry in Georgia has been established
upon an enduring basis. We do not ad
vise the planting of large areas in cas
sava until proper-tests have been made.
. . . ... ... But we do urge our farmers, as far as
The Department of gn e x plant small patches of it and

Although Louisiana obtained her first ^olt immediate good; hut the
eutmr cane from Georgia, thie valuable ; re P 6ated exhortations on this line have
g , \ been sent forth with the hope of some
crop has in t s state een so oye j^y bringing abont among southern
shadowed by cotton and rice as no o j punters such co-operation as will de
liver them from their present thraldom
receive the attention which its merits
deserve. Yet in -the lower counties
there is more money in sugar cane than
in cotton, and in this section the mak
ing of syrup from sngar cane has doubled
in the last two or three years.
As far back as 1829 there was built on
the plantation of James Hamilton Cou-
per a large sngar house, which at the
time of its erection was in advance of
any similar plant in Louisiana or the
West Indies. This Hopeton plantation,
under the management of Mr. Couper, a
gentleman of wealth and of the highest
culture, was deolared by Editor J.' D.
Legare of The Southern Agriculturist of
Charleston, S. O., to be decidedly the
best plantation that he had ever visited.
Here the raising of cane and the manu
facture therefrom of syrup and sugar
gave the most satisfactory results.
Sir Charles Lyell, the distinguished
English geologist and scholar, who vis
ited Hopeton in 1846, bore testimony to
the successful management of the plan
tation in every detail.
The cotton and rice industries after
the war so absorbed the interests of the
people of southern Georgia, that the
cultivation of sngar cane was neglected,
and the magnificent sugar mill, once so
successfully operated by Mr. Couper,
was allowed to fall into ruins, and a
few years ago the machinery was sold
for scrap iron.
This noted plantation is in Glynn
county, 5 miles /by water from Darien,
16 by land from Brunswick and 15 miles
from the Atlantic ocean.
What Man Has Done Man Can Da
Again.
A full account of the Hopeton planta
tion and its great sngar plant is given
in a new book on Sugar Oane, published
by Captain D. G. Purse of Savannah,
Go. This useful little work has at
tracted the attention of "The Louisiana
Planter and Sugar Manufacturer," a
weekly paper of New Orleans, La., and
the leading sngar journal of the world,
which in a recent issue republishes Cap
tain Purse’s "Recollections of Hopeton
Plantation," with the accompanying il
lustration of Mr. Couper’s sugar mill,
and utters these encouraging words:
"It may be that Georgia will again
engage in cane sugar production, and
the experiences of its own past, as re-
- corded at Hopeton plantation, indicate
the certainty of industrial success,
should the experiment be again made."
To these happy predictions of ah ed
itor living in the great city of New Or
leans, the commercial center of a vast
sugar industry, may be added the still
more encouraging fact that a section of
southwest Georgia has for several years
past been furnishing undoubted proof
that Georgia has in her power'the abil
ity to add a new crop, which will pour
untold wealth into her treasury and
into the pockets of lier people. Captain
Parse has recently interested United
States Agricultural Commissioner Wil
son and Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief chem
ist of the United States department, in
the sugar cane of Georgia and Florida,
and in furtherance of this end heis
gathering samples of soils to be analyz
ed for their sngar producing qualities,
and as the cane-matures in the fall
many hundred samples will he sent him
for analysis. Vastly more can he done
in this great state than maa has yet ac
complished or formed a conception of.
Cassava.
Our exouse for speaking again of su-
- gar cane and cassava is that the only
way to arouse people to action on any
c line is to continue appealing to them
and keeping them ever reminded ol (
those things which pertain to their pros
perity. The late convention at Bruns
wick has aroused a spirit of inquiry,
manifested by letters received by the
Department of Agriculture concerning
both sugar cane and cassava
to unscrupulous speculators.
But encouraging progress is evidenced
by the rapidly increasing number of
those who raise sufficient home supplies
to make them independent of the west
ern com crib and western pork and beef.
On many a farm the well-stored smoke
house and commodious barn filled with
the in-gathering from the fertile fields
bears testimony to the thrift and enter
prise of the owner, whose pride it is to
point out to the -visitor at his hospitable
home not only his fields of snowy cot
ton, but also his broad acres of corn,
wheat, oats and other grains, the luxu
riant grass or pea vineB just ready for
the hay maker, his garden planted with
many kinds of vegetables suggestive of
varied and wholesome fare, and his pas
ture beautified by carefully reared stock
of the finest breeds.
As the proprietor of an estate like this
sits at sunset on some little spot of ele
vated ground, with delighted eye he
views the landscape o’er, and to his ear
there comes the distant music of the
tinkling bells as his lowing herds "wind
slowly o’er the lea.” Then, as he turns
his footstep homeward and hears as he
draws nigh, the cheerful song Of his
wife and the 'merry voices, of his chil
dren, he knows there arc loving eyes
that will greet him at the door and look
brighter for his coming.
Diversify your crops; practice econ
omy and thrift; make every cultivated
acre pay. Then, even though your farm
may now be small and an humble cot
tage your home, the day may come
when competence will reward your la
bors. With fertile fields and an attrac
tive home, there will be no trouble
abont keeping your ambitions boys on
the farm.
Early Cultivation of Corn.
In, these early days Of May most of the
corn has been planted, and now care must
be taken to give it proper cultivation.
Early working, so that no grass or nox
ious weeds may hinder the growth of
the tender stalks, is the essential thing
for the expected harvest. Good and
faithful wprk now and careful supervi
sion of the hands employed will give
your corn a good start, and the same
kind of work persevered in to the end
will, with favorable seasons, secure a
paying crop.
Plant Peas Now.
Now is the time to plant your peas,
between the rows of corn, or, if you
have land to spare and prefer it, in a
field apart. Our soil prodaces no better
crop. It enriches the land on which it .
grows; the succulent peas afford excel-,
lent food for stock and also for the ta
ble, besides the pea vine makes an. ex
cellent hay when it has been properly
cured and housed.
Cotton.
Every fanner in Georgia knows that
cotton must have -plenty of sunshine
and must be so managed as not to over
task the land by requiring ?so much of
its strength for the stalk that there-will
not be enough left to nourish the fruit
The plants must not be allowed to
come up too close together, for in that
case there will be too much shade and
too much of the plant will run to stalk.
Be sure to Clean out the cotton well,
thinning out so that the young plants
may be from 18 inches to 8 feet apart in
the drill, being controlled as regards ^
distance by the fertility of the land.
Of course the intelligent farmer’s ex
perience, obtained by years of careful

planting and attention, will greatly aid
him in his decision as to the proper dis
tance.
The great thing to be desired is that
the stalks when grown shall barely
meet in the row. Then the plants will
be in condition to secure the strength
of the land for the fruit, and the av
erage production to the acre will be in
creased.

Improved. Breeds of Cattle.
The Department of Agriculture, ably
assisted by the enterprising journals of
the state, has tried to keep constantly
before the minds of Georgia farmers the
great good for them in the rearing of
the best breeds of cattle for the dairy or
riie market, and thus putting into their
own pockets thousands of dollars that
now leave our borders yearly to enrich
the north and west. Again we wonld
say, always add to your cotton and your
corn abundance of grass for hay and the
best forage crops of every kind, that you
may have more and richer milk and
batter and fatter and juicier beeves for
market
It is said that a certain Roman senator
introduced into every speech his favor
ite theme, whether relevant or not, to
the subject under discussion. So. at the
risk of being Considered too persistent
and tiresome, we say again, reuse more
hay and forage crops to raise more milch
cows and more beef cattle.—State Agri
cultural Department.
Profit In Good Feeding.
To illustrate the fact that there is
profit in the careful feeding of hogs the
Practical Farmer tells a story which
runs about thus:
A man who had just sold a drove of
fine shoats and made a good profit by
the transaction, on his way home met a
neighbor who complained that a farmer
could not make any money and that
raising hogs for the market was a los
ing business, adding that he wonld lik6
to dispose of those that he had. Party
No. 1 bought the hogs and also some
corn of the same man, asking for time
in which to make his payment. After
three months he sold this second drove
of shoats, and after paying his neigh
bor showed him how much money he
had cleared by the transaction.
The farmer who had sold hia corn
and hogs in separate lots was thus
taught a valuable lesson by his more en
terprising neighbor.—State Agricultural
Department.
