SUGAR MILL DOES WELL.
BUYS sIRUP FROM THE FARM
ERS DIRECT.
Columbus Enterprise Encourages the
Planting of Sugar Cane in
That Section.

Columbus. Ga. January 12-(Special)-
The recent article In The Constitution
about the possibilities of sugar making
In Georgia was read with peculiar inter-
est in Columbus for the reason that there
has been recently established In Columbus
u sugar and strip refinery. This is the
Williams Manufacturing Company. which
began operation a number of months ago,
and which is now doing a thriving busi-
ness The company refines strip and su-
gar and has created a stable market for
the strip grown in this section. Last year
this time. Georgia strip was a drug on
the market. at from IL to % cents. Con-
sentative people here. who know what
they are talking about. say that strip

Mr.. Johnson Williams. president of the
Williams Manufacturing Company, stated
to The Constitution correspondent today
that his firm had paid out $4,000 this fall
to farmers and small merchants for strip.
Farmers in this section who have grown
cane largely have made good money out
of 1t.
The other day Russell county, Ala
bama farmer, came to town with a hum
dred gallons of strip. He did not know
whether he would lind market for it or
not. lie was agreeably surprised to be

home and brought back 800 more gallons,
which he sold at the same price. He
incidentally remarked that he had made
800 gallons off am acre of cane From this
acre he had made enough strip to do his
family for the year-lOO gaIlonS-and also
enough to sell for $lO0. He will plant more
largely this year.
The statement has been made that slO0

may be an eXtravaSanJ statement, but 1t
is a fact that the profits are more attrac-
tive than those of cotton raising. The
trouble in the past has been the absence
of a stable market: but now that reiin-
cries are being established and others
planned for south Georgia, the situation
As very different; cane Will ind as steady

Uniform Classification Of the Staple

New orleans. Janua, y ia spirited de-
bate on resolution favoring the rouno
bale marked the final session OF the Cot
ton States Assocla ton OF Commissioners
of Agriculture. The association declined
TO commit itself to approval of the round
bale. but adopted the resolution so iar
as It appeals for improved methods IN
handling cotton.
President Stevens was I'm the chair when
the afternoon session began and colonel
Charles Schiller. n prominent louisiana
cotton planter. was introduced to speak
on Improved Methods for Cotton Farm
ers." He asked that the commissioners
do all they could in their official capacl-
ties To better the condition of the cot
ton farmers home. Any one who would
travel through the cotton raising sections
of this state. of Georgia or of other cot
ton states would find that the cotton
farmers homes needed improving. These
homes had no attraction. He believed
that the commissioners of agriculture
might urge the passage of laws in their
respective states which would be of bene-
fit to the farmers and which We uld make
their hard lots easier. He said the rails
ing of cotton could and should be cheapen-
ed. This should be done by diversifylng
the crops and by using up-to-date farm
ing machinery.
Commissioner Hill. OF Arkansas, after
Colonel Schiller had concluded. offered
the following resolutions:
Whereas. by the introduction of new
mechanical devices in recent years. not
ably tho round bale machinery, II has
been demonstrated that less wastetul
methods may be adopted and arbitrary
charges reduced and in some cases avoid
ed altogether, thus saving 10 the cotton
planter annually I'm the aggregate many
millions of dollars.
Whereas. in the handling Of he great
staple OF the southern states, valued at
upward OF SSVO.t00.Wo annually, waste
ful methods have obtained, and a multi
pllcity of charges. many of them arbi-
tIary and eNorOitant. are wrung from the
cotton producers.
Resolved. That II shall be the duty
Of the commissioners of agriculture of
this association IN their respective states
10 advocate and encourage the invention
and introduction of more improved ma
chinery. the addition of better methods
and carefully devised system of handling
IN order To insure the cotton grower the
fullest possible remuneration for the re-
suits OF labor"
