6 KNOWS HOW TO RAISE SYRUP, MACHINIST .1 AW DINE IS ALSO A GOOD FARMER. He Tell* the Ilornlnit Now* Corre spondent That Syrnp I* the Coming Crop of South Georgia. When Properly Made It I* Equal to the Fine .Maple Product*—He Ha* the Secret of Preventing Fer mentation and Get* OO Cent* Wholesale and OO Cent* in Rottle* for All He 'lakt*. Waycross, Ga.. May 17.—Mr. J. M Jar dine. of Nieholls. Ga.. In addition to being master machinist for the Southern Pine Company at their big mill there, Is on of the most scientific farmers in this sec tion of the country. He owns a 40-acre farm at N'ahunta, on the Brunswick and Western Railway, twenty miles east of Waycross. The farm is conducted by Mr. Collins. Large crops of corn, potatoes, etc., are raised on the place, but particular attention is given the culture of sugar cane. Last year six acres were planted to cane, and this year the acreage has been Increased. Mr. Jardine was seen by the newspaper correspondent, and he is very enthusias tic on the question of syrup raising. "There is no doubt about this being the coming industry of our country," said Mr. Jardine. “We need something to take the place of the timber which will soon be a thing of the past; and my honest opinion is the syrup in dustry is the thing." He showed the newspaper man samples of the pure Georgia syrup raised on his Nahunta farm, along with samples of the famous Vermont maple syrup, which sells at $1.30 per gallon; and the splendid Canadian article selling at SI.OO, He con tends that the Georgia syrup, if prop erly made, is equal, If not superior, to either of the maples, and that there Is no reason why the Georgia farmer should not get SI.OO per gallon for all the syrup he can raise. Mr. Jardine says the great difficulty with our syrup is in the fermentation; hut he claims to have found the secret of preventing fermentation. He has been experimenting on this for years and thinks he has found the very thing for which the Louisiana Plant ers' Association offers $10,0(10. He uses no chemicals whatever, but puts It through a very simple inexpensive process. He say's he can take old syrup already fer mented and give it anew taste and flavor that cannot be excelled, and that it will keep indefinitely in any climate. The same process applied to new syrup will keep it for years. In proof of this Mr. Jardine placed some of his syrup in a baker's oven, and notwithstanding the great heat, it did not ferment. To show that our syrup edn be exported. Mr. Jar dine has samples of his syrup on a boat between Brunswick and New York and will leave it there for wo or three months to test the matter. On his farm he uses only the red or rib bon cane, claiming that it makes more and better syrup than the green cane. He sells all the syrup he can raise at 60 cents per gallon by the wholesale, and by bottling it he gets 90 cents a gallon. Mr. Jardine Is a jolly Scotchman, who has been in this country about twenty years, seventeen of which he served in his present rapacity with the Southern Pine Company.

It was not until the last year that the new works of Fraser & Chalmers came into full operation.

The same officials similarly estimate that uoon the completion of the additional Allis Works, now In process of construction, the profits will be equivalent to eight per cent, on $16,230,000 of Preferred Stock and ten per cent, on $20,000,000 of Common Stock, with a material addition to the Surplus Account.
