Ware County Going Largely Into the
Production of Sea Island.


Waycross. Ga, April IA few weeks ago
the impression was that the farmers of
Ware county this year would plant less
cotton than last year, but during the last
few days replies to innumerable inquiries
showed very clearly the determination of
the farmers generally to plant a larger
acreage of sea island and short staple cot
ton. The information obtained from these
inquiries will be interesting to the farmers
and cotton factors generally and particu-
larry.
The farmers around Manor every year
plant a large cotton acreage. paying but
little attention to diversified crops A
large number of bales of both long and
short cotton is shipped every fall from
Manor. Waresboro, like Manor, furnishes
a good cotton crop for. the market. Wal
tertown, Beach, Buckley, Wildwood and
Glenmore also ship a good many bales.
For. several years the farmers around
Waycross and in the Barber settlement
down ON the Okefenokee Swamp have
been planting very little cotton, and every
year has brought a decrease in the acre
age. They were gradually becoming en-
thusiastic in the development of diversified
farming and each year they increased the
variety of home supplies. Corn, oats, po-
tatoes, melons and sugar cane were the
who have not planted an acre of cotton for
several years have made arrangements to
plant sea island as the principal crop.
A farmer three miles from Waycross
who has been conspicuous for several
years as being foremost among the farm
ers of the county in advocating diversified
crops and in abandoning entirely the cul-
ture of cotton, will this year plant sixty
acres in cotton and two acres in potatoes
having abandoned corn and sugar
cane He will, however, harvest a fine
crop of oats and follow the oat crop with
a crop of cotton. His neighbors, who have
been following his example for several
years. will likewise reduce the acreage in
diversified crops and plant a large cotton
acreage. Some of the planters have paid
as high as 81 per bushel for Ware county
sea island cotton seed for planting this
years crop. A large amount of fertilizers
win be used this year in this section for
cotton.
In the Barber settlement the cotton ac-
reage will be 70 per cent larger this wear
than it has been in several years The
increase IN the COTTON acreage in the vicln-
ity of Waycross VIII be nearly 80 per cent
