Comptroller General Of Georgia, in bis
recent report, Gays the Examiner cons
p.las many valuable statistical facts Will
reference to the sourc and produce
lions Of that State. In his instructions
TO The Tax Collectors in the State, he
required them to report the number of
acres planted in cotton, also tho number
planted in corn and other gain. Five
counties did not report at all. Ii tLe 70,
mining l27 counties, it is reported that
only 286 1893 acres are planted in cotton,
while 4,0o080 acres were planted in
other grain. AT fourteen bushels to the
acre, the Comptroller General estimates
the crop this year in Georgia at SO. 500
600, nearly double what it was in 1859,
which was one Of our most fruitful
years.
