A GREAT DRY GOODS TRADE.
The fact that Statesboro is becom
ing a great dry goods center can be
no longer doubted Our merchants are
buying all the staple lines of dry
goods such as domestics, sheetings,
shirtings, tickings, jeans, etc... by the
car load. No up-to-date merchant now
thinks of buying less than a case or
a bale of anything In those lines. Our
three largest dry goods concerns, who
sent their buyers to the Boston mar
kets in the fall, have had to duplicate
their orders over and over again.
Some of them have sold out two entire
fall and winter stocks.
In dress goods it is a notable fact
that there is absolutely no demand
for the cheaper goods. Our women
folks dress in something better than
the shoddy stuff you see in the average
town of Its size. While you see very
little uncalled-fer flourish of silks and
satins, yet you will find the best
goods. flannels, worsteds, cashmeres,
etc., used here. The sales on this
line of goods are simply enormous.
Ladles come here from all the adjoin
ing counties to buy their dress goods.
Our dry goods stores handle as large
and varied stocks as can be found in
the cities and the prices are much
cheaper than for the same goods in
many of the larger cities.
CATTLE RAISERS’ CHANCE.
With the present and prospective
high price of beef there is every rea
son why in every part of the state
there should be increased attention
to cattle raising. There is hardly a
farm anywhere in south Georgia, says
an exchange, which cannot support
from its growth of grasses and fod
der an increased number of cattle for
the market. The difference in our ag
ricultural prosperity would be very
great if this was done. The profits
are tempting and the way is open.
Rut even without farms with no
greater area than is required for cat- j
tie lots and housing sheds beeves may ;
lie profitably raised for the markets. ,
Our later knowledge of the value of j
cotton seed products for cattle feed-1
ing has resulted in the setting up of!
many a dairy establishment near the ■
towns and cities, and if milk cows
can be fed to advantage on such food,
why not beef cattle’ With unlimited
supply of the best stock food so near
at hand there is no excuse for neg
lecting an industry so profitable In the
middle west as the fattening of steers
for market. Here, again, the corpora
tion plan may be adopted with ad
vantage. We believe the Inducements
offered to cattle raising in south Geor
gia. -tn all parts of south Georgia, to
be large and lasting. It will be our
own fault If we do not recognize the
opportunity and grasp it—Ex.

THE POTATO CROP.
There is no crop grown, upon which
there is a larger per cent of net pro
fit, than that of sweet potatoes. Our
lands are especially adapted to the
growing of both sweet and Irish po
tatoes. and hundreds of barrels of them
are now shipped to all the markets,
as stated in the outset there is more
clear money in potatoes than any
thing else a man can plant as
will be shown by the follow
ing table. We are going to take 5
acres of common pine land and give
you an estimate of what can be done
with it the first year with a potato
crop. The following is an estimate
of its cost and production. These fig
ures will be substantiated by any up
to-date farmer:
Rental of 5 acres $lO
2 tons of fertilizer S4O
15 bushels seed potatoes .. .. $45
Planting and fertilizing .. .. $lB
Cost of cultivating S2O
Cost of harvesting S2O
Cost of 100 barrels S2O
Total cost $173.00
This land will make 100 bushels
which will sell at any market 40c. per
bushel net. $400.00, leaving a profit on
i the first crop of $227.00. Then when
this crop is off you have your land
I in fine shape and ready fertilized for
j a sweet potato crop. We will give you
! some figures on them. You remember
we have already put Mp lbs. of fer-
I tilizer to the acre. Thß will be quite
I sufficient for both crops: 5 acres of
sweet potatoes will cost to plant, cul
tivate and harvest about $75.00.
They will produce fertilizer as above
fully 100 -to 300 bushels to the acre,
say 100 bushels, which will be 500
bushels of sweet potatoes, they can
be sold at 50c. per bushel by shipping
them. Put it at 40c. they will net
you S2OO or $125 profit This added
to the $227 profit of the Irish potato
crop, raised off the same land, with
the same fertilizer, the same season,
will foot up to $352.00 net profit on a
crop of 5 acres of potatoes. In what
crop can a man plant tn order to beat
this, in addition to this there will be
enough small potatoes on the land to
fatten 20 head of fine hogs.
