BEATS THE WORLD.
What Can Be Raised on South Caro-
lima Farm.

The recent meeting of the Georgia
State Agricultural Society at Quitmau,
says the Columbus Enquirer Sun, was
one of unusual interest Among other
things the matter of diversified farm
ing was discussed. In order to show
that the South, and Georgia especially,
is the best place in the country for d.
versifeG farming, the following list is
printed showing the products grown on
single farm in one of the Georgia
counties: Hay, corn, hams, pigs, chick
ems, sea island cotton, casava pepper,
cushaws, peanuts, millet, syrup pears,
solgum, wheat, peas, lard, rice, bacon,
turkeys, cattle, geese, eggs, cotton,
beggar weed, collards, oats, pumpkins,
sugar cane, rye, potatoes, grapes, John
son grass, pea vines, waternc!ons,
Kaffir corn" That is doing very we'll
for Georgia. 4 South Carolina farm
would have added, however, black
berries, dewbalries, cucumbcrs, squash,
beans, figs, pomcgranates, ounces,
ducks, guineas, Bermuda grass, part
ridges, cantaloupes, plums, maypops,
doves, sparrows, haws, crows, yams.
tanvas, peaches, lettuce, poke-salad,
milk butter, buttermilk, vetch, melli-
lot, asparagus, maize, horses, cabbages
and some nut grass here and there for
seed. Surely, surely, there is no place
in all the world like South Carolina for
diversified farming.

accumulated to any extent has been
melons, and they have been a glut on
the market for several weeks. the de-
tention Of them being caused by the
