THE BEST SORT OF FARMING.
What a Brooks County Farmer Did Last
Year.

From the Albany Herald
The last issue of the Quitman Free
Press contained a statement OF the past
wears operation of a Brooks cOun ty
farmer, Mr.. E. J. Young, that is at
tracing a good deal of attention. The
Free Press says:
MIR Young's system of farming is
high fertilization and thorough cultiva-
ton, com bined with practical methods
and close attention to details. His re-
cent large sale of bacon to the Walker
Merchantile Company attracted much
attention by reason OF the unusual
quantity and fine quality of the bacon.
1t was a rich golden brown, great piles
of it, with d delicious aroma, and 1t
must be as good as the famous English
breakfast bacon, which is made in Ire
land and sold at only one shop in Lon
don. Here are the figures: 20,S94
pounds bacon at cents, 81, 67l.5l: .
473 pounds lard at cents, Sl97.S4; 90
bales cotton, average go pounds, 94
cents s., $40. 10: l, 800 bushels corns at
80 cents, 1890: IL barrels syrup at 50
per barrel, 1869 $4,000 bushels oats at
10 cents, 1920; 5000 pounds fodder at
IS cents, S2l6; total, $6,913. 46 From
the above statement it will be seen
that the total value of the products
grown is Sc, 913. 46. Divide this amount
by six, the number of plows run, and it
gives 81. l55 % to the pillow, a result
that is almost phenomenal. In addition
to the products named above Mr..
Young sells enough sweet potatoes.
dairy products, etc, to more than pa y
the grocery bills and other similar
items of household expenditure, which
bv right should be added TO the above
amount.
We doubt if there is farmer in
Georgia who can make better show
ing than the above. 1t is one OF the
most eloquent arguments on behalf of
diversified agriculture that has ever
come to our attention. Brooks is con-
sidered the banner county of Georgia,
extraordinarily speaking, and Mr..
Young is evidently one of Brooks ban
ner farmers. Success such as he has
achieved serves to raise the farmers
calling above the common level, and
stuItities the individual who would
commiserate the tiller of the soil.
South Georgia, from the Atlantic
ocean TO the Alabama line, is full OF
farmers who can duplicate Mr.. Young S
achievement. When the same intelli-
gent business methods that are en-
ployed by bankers and merchants are
applied by the farmers-and all others
must prove unavailing-the farmers as
a class will reap richer harvest OF
this worlds good things than any OF
! their fellow men.

HEAVY FERTILIZER SAL ES.
Farmers Determined to Have FiVe-Cent
Cotton Next Fall.

The sales of fertilizers this year
promise to almost double what they
were last year. The officials of the
department of agriculture in Atlanta
admit that the sale of tags show big
increase, but they will not give any
figures at the present time. One OF
the manufacturers who was at the cap
itol said his firm has sold about twice
as much this year as it did. last year,
all of which is taken to mean that the
farmers are putting in a big crop of
cotton on account of the high
prices that prevailed this year.
In 1876 Georgia used only AZ, 600 tons
of commercial fertilizers. For the sea-
son 1899-190O this state used Alb, 755
tons, an increase of 364, 900 tons since
1876. 1t is estimated that the sales
this year will exceed last seasons fig
ures by at least fifty thousand tons.
Some of the estimates place the proba-
BILE increase as high as 100000 tons.

ATLANTA, March S.-Editor Il. E..
Elliott, of the Austell News, committed
suicide last night at Folsom Euro
pean hotel, on Marietta street, in this
