The official call for the Cane and
Cassava convention in Brunswick on
April 12, iyo2, is as follows:
T’ee Sugarcane and Cassava conven
tion to lie held in Brunswick on the

the deepest interest and command the
most earnest support ol the people
if sout li Georgia.
The movement for the planting of
wider aereas in sugarcane, the more
intelligent making and marketing ol
syrup, the introduction of cassava as
a food for stock, and for starch man
ufacture, is intensely practical, dis
seminates information which may he
coined into dollars, by every practi
cal farmer iu south Georgia.
The movement was intimated by
file hoard of trade of Brunswick at
(he instance of Col. Wade, of the
Southern railway, who made an ex
haustive investigation of cassava
planting, production, uses as food, and
for fattening of stock, for mamifae
inre into starch, in Florida, where it
is raised upon a large scale, with as
sured profit.
Col. Wade has aroused interest
among cattle men ot the northwest,
who are making a trial on lands pur-1
chased in tills section.
Tiie first convention held April Uth.,
1901, distributed as a contribution ot
•he board of trade of Brunswck. 15,-
ouo cassava seed. U n „f which
was plant id. II wn. ably adopted j
! >y practical sugarcane and cassava
raisers, ll aroused an interesting and
comprehensive discussion of farmers I
in relation to the treatment and mark
ting ol syrups. It demonstrated iliat ,
intelligent treatment of syrup had in-,
reused the price largely, and increas- ;
e.I the demand beyond any probable j
nipply for ycais, ot i..e best quality
of syrup. It demonstrated that cas
sava was an ideal food for, and tat
leii r ot stock ol all kinds, and that,
(here was a ample remunerative de
mand tor ail which could lie raised in
Florida by the starch factories. That
1 crop averaged eight, tons of roots per
Acre, and commanded $5 per ton at
nearest railway station to (he farm
er.
Tim second convention had samples
from widely separated sections in
south Georgia, showing the successful
result, of the experimental planting of
Hie 15.000 cassava seed planted In the
