The Canmng Industry,
: ' -——
Very little attention is paid to the
canning industry in this section.
Tor sometime it hay buen talked but
little has been done. No one has
ever becawe interested in it except
Mr. 'T. W. Vickery, who, three
years ago began to work on a small
scale and found it profitable to him
self aud to the farmer « Last year
he worked more faithful at it and
canned several thousand cans of veg
etables and fruits—canning all that
were brought to him. This year he
‘bought a machine with a capacity
of 3500 cans a day and ig doing n‘
splendid business, having already}
passed the amount of business (lunc}
* last year. No one 1s bringing in
~ big lots of fruit, but manyare bring
ing smail lots and he is able to take
care of them and never rushed. He
would do ten times the amount of
. canning 1f he had the produce,
" This shows what ‘can be done,
What would it mean if our farmers
would ounly plant more such vegeta
‘bles? There should be an awaken
ing among our people, ard the rais.
g of vegetables and fruits on lur,,v-j
er scale begun. DPractically every
thing grows here, and this is one of
the finest sections for truck farming

Gov. Brown enters upon Lis du
ties as Governor with the kindest
feelings toward all classes of citi.
zens, with the intention to cdminis.
tering the laws without fear or favor
and with the purpose of making the
great office, to which Ye has been
called, contribute as much as poss:-
ble to the developement of the state
and the vrosperity of the people.
In the course of hi: inaugural he
sgid: I pledge my obedience 1o
the constitution in its cntirety, 1
shall undertake to execnte every du
ty it imposes upon we, [ shall not
attempt to grasp any pover it direct

His administration, it is safe to pre.
dict, will compare favoribly with
the best the state has ever had,

Wko said our roads were the worst of any county in the state
should ride over them and see.. Oar county commissioners should be
commendsd for the work they ara doing with the convicts, They ar
doing their best without the wagons and tents and when they are secur
ed no one will have just causs to comglain. W. H. Thompson and k.
\. Armbruster drove over the St. Mary’s road aud report a fine piece of
work with srretches of road miles in length without a band; easv curves
'and a heavy ciown to the road, all stumps being dug instead of heing
cut level with the ground, Keep up the good work and in a year or
two Charlton will have the best roads of any county in Georgia,
Thorough the courtgsv.,&'\?. H. Thompson, our correspondent
was taken out in the country and shown what our farmers are raising
’and what the crops looked like. 8. R. Huling has fiftsen acres plant
{ed in cotton, eighteen acres incorn, two in cane and one and one.half
’in melons. ilis cotton looks fine and will average thres feet in heighr,
corn will average fen fees in height and the melons were best seen in
| g 8 |
this section. A picture was taken of the corn and cotton fields and of
a sow melons so as to show what can be raised hare. The melons ar ‘
'called “‘Huling's Special,” as he has crossed for the purposs of getting
tais kind. They ara sweet and a good shippiag melon. }
| We next visited Joe James, who has 30 acresin cotton and is one
of the best cotton fields in south-east Gaorgia. A picture was taken of ‘
| . » ]
a part of the field, it heing almost four fest high on June 26th. He
has a fine ficld of corn which will average niny feet in height. Mr. Ty - ;
ner’s place wus the next ongvisited. tle has made fine crops consid- |
ering that he only started planting ia March. A picture was taken of
his family as he was called one of our ‘‘contented farmers.” We have
many smali fields of corn and cotlon in and around Homeland but we
wanted to see what grew on the outside. All we need is' good farmers
to till the goil. ; e e 3 s
