THE SOUTH.
a Georgia Farmer Who Makes His
Occupation Yield Him Large
Returns.

The Macon (Ga) Telegraph says of
Mr.. W. II. Mansfield farmer who lives
in that city and farms near it, that when
he was Il boy he learned to make hay
while the sun Shines but now that heI
Is a man. he makes it all the time" He
is a good farmer. to begin with, as is
proved by the fact that he easily raises
Is bushels of corn to the aero" on his
swamp land and large numbers of hogs,
and he has achieved 50 great success
with both corn and hay that 'other
farmers throughout the country are al
ways seeking to learn his methods"
1t is as a hay-maker, however, that
Mr.. Mansfield has achieved most eny;-
able distinction He has n grass farm of
several hundred acres near Macon,
''frcm which he cuts three crops of hay
every season." lie grows ''about six or
seven tors to the acre in il season,
(which brings S12 ton on the market,
and there is always Il good demand"
Ills grass crop nets him about $50 an
acre.
Commenting on this, the Charleston
News and Courier says: His land is
good. but there are thousands of acres
like it in Georgia and South Carolina.
He "cultivatcs" the grass on his farm
and makes it pay. Being asked IF the
quality of the land did not have a great
deal to do with the yield?" he replied:
Unfortunately, but the man has Il
great deal more TO do with it," As for
the grass, which yields net" profit of
$40 an acre every year, it is not Il hith-
crt0 umhearl-of kind of grass ut all. 1t
grows in all parts of the South and
there is a good deal of it III South Caro-
lima in spots. Gen. Hagood and w. e.
Childs, of Columbia, we believe, cult
waited it with profit some years ago, if
not more recently. The seed, or roots
can be obtained very cheaply, and when
it has once been planted anywhere it
grows right along, at the same PLACE,
for years. without requiring special at
tention. Fcrtiizing and cultivation, cut
ting and curing, are what makes it pay
$40 net profit per acre to Mr.. Mansfield
every year. We do not recall its Latin
name, but farmers in South Carolina
usually refer to it as that damp grass"
when they do not call it Bermuda"

TOBACCO = WAREHOUSES
TWO TO BE BUILT IN SCOTLAND NECK,
ALSO PRIZE HOUSES.
That Point 10 be Made The Central Handling
Place FOR the Fine Tobacco
Lands.

Scotland Neck, n. c., Jan. 22.-(Spe-
cial.) -Plans have lren perfected for
the tobacco market here this year. An
enthusiastic meeting was held Thuns4
day night. and the necessary amounts.
have been subscribed to build two large
warehouses and two prize houses. In
addition to this there are already two
commodious buildings in the town that
can be utilized for prize houses. Our
people have gone into the enterprise
somewhat slowly, for they have mca-
sured the ground carefully to bc safe i'll
the project. The matter has been care
fully weighed. and it is the opinion of all
our people that the prospects are most
fattering.
AS a starter the tobacco lands aroumI
Scotland Neck are adjudged 10y expert
enccd tobacco growers to be amongst the
finest, if not the finest in the State.
This has been proved during the past
two or three years by the fine grades
that have been placed upon the various
markets by our farmers, and the good
prices they received. Then the territory
for supporting Il market here is good.
Besides the eastern and southern part
of Halifax county. there is good terri
tory for us in Edgecombc and Martin
counties on this side of Roanoke river,
and BERTHE and Hartford counties on the
north side of the river, will find
their nearest and readicst market in
Scotland Neck. 10 insure the facility
for handling the tobacco from those
two countless there will he free ferriage
across Roanoke river for tobacco farm
crs, and perhaps for others. All the pco-
Pile here have become much interested III
the enterprise, and there is much en-
thusiasm over il.
Besides the very fine tobacco lands in
this county, and especially around Scot
land Neck, there is another fact, not gen
orally known, which touches the agricul-
tuial interests of our people very much,
arl that is the fact that Halifax coun-
ty raises perhaps one-third of the
Spanish peanuts of the world. This is
what your correspondent has been told
by men who handle them and have
much to do with the peanut interest. 1t
is doubtful whether there is larger
Spanish peanut market anywhere than
Scotland Neck.
Thus far there has not been much ac-
tivity in the guanO trade here for this
year. Very little has been said about
Suano one way or another.
A farmer said yesterday that there is
considerable sign of farm work through
the county, which indicates to him that
people are in good spirits.
