South Georgia Crops
Best in Years
South Georgia farmers will
reap the richest harvest on
record this year. Corn crop will
be large—perhaps fully 25'/c big
ger than the nor ral crop of last
year. Cotton, while the stand is
poor, will produce nearly as
many bales as last year. The
cane crop is excellent. The
acreage is greater and the con-
di'ion of plant was never better
at this time of the year.
There is an enormous acreage
in sweet potatoes, and a big
yield is assured. Storage houses
are being built in many localities
to save the crop, which makes cer
tain a srtisfactory price, because
they can be marketed gradually.
Then, too, the Army Camps will
take large quantitied of sweet
potatoes, as long as the war
lasts.
Pigs and peanuts go well to
gether, and there is good reason
—peanuts thrive betterin coastal
plain sections of South Georgia
than any other part of the South,
and is the chepest. and best hog
feed known, when harvested bv
Mr. Hog himself. The acreage
in Georgia this year is many
times greater than ever befoie
planted.
There are meat packing plants
in operation, or building at Way-
cross, Moultrie, Tifton, Jackson
ville, Atlanta and other points.
These packing houses provide a
market every day in the year for
live hogs, and are paying very
high prices for good stuff.
South G urgiu is the best place
on earth for I ho small farmer to
make a .start in life. There are
many who will make enough on
this year’s crop to buy and equip
