ing. with n view to purchasing land in
this section. This is DIR. CraIgs second

in and around BIookhaven already to the
amount of about 1000 acres, and expects
to establish II real estate agency here and
offer inducements to Western settlers in
quest of cheap homes and ~ mild healthfnl
climate. Our more rnterprising home
people are also waking up on the subject,
and will cooperate with DR.. Craig and
helping him advertise tie many advan-
tages Of this Immediate section. All of
the above named gentlemen expressed
themselves as highly pleased with
Brookhaven and the country surrounding
it, and we hope they will decide it to
their advantage to make homes and in
vestments here and persn atle their West
ern friends to do likewise
We are glad to- state IN this connection

speak for them a cordial welcome.

You will observe that meats, lead the
list with $748,O0O, 900, corn followed
with $610,00O,000 in round numbers.
and wheat comes next with 1914 ,000,-
600, and cotton fills the fourth place
with $257 100000. But cotton leads
the export list with $17S,OOO, 900, ag-
gregating more than the export of
corn, wheat, meats and half of the
tobacco crop, put together Thus
cotton takes the first place of honor
in the list of exports, and it is doubt
full if any other agricultural product
of the country will ever disturb it.
Reverting to the reports of the de-
partment, | would respectfully sug-
gest that leading daily papers, such
as yours is, and agricultural maya
zines, give the farmers, fiOm time to
time, extracts of said reports, for the
purpose of disseminating all over the

Some Interesting Facts Cleaned

FROM the Savannah Nrws.1

From the Savannah News
The Agricultural Department at
Washington publishes every year
about 100000 copies of its annual re-
port, S75, 200 copies being for distri-
button by Congressman and 5000
being assigned to the department.
Only those who had the good for
tune to get copies of the report, and
felt interested enough In it to go over
it carefully, can realize the greatness
of the task involved in it and the null
tiplieity of information it contains,
referring, as it does, to the progress
of agriculture, and having many val
liable suggestions as to the further de-
yelopment of our agricultural re-
sources. Many Of your readers have
undoubtedly some vague idea of the
almost fabulous aggregate amount, in
money value, of the agricultural
products of this country but very
few, If any, have ever fully realized its
immensely. just for illustration,
herewith give you certain figures,
taken from the report of 1887, which
speak for themselves.
