Profit ........ .......,...........$1 o lS
These tables show the cost of plant
ing per acre $500 cheaper here and the
WELD 1888 better, making a net profit
over the Gulf territory of 1888. Not
only is the production cheaper and the
profit better but this grade is higher
and there is a constant demand for it
in the Northern and Eastern markets.
The better yield and superior grade
is due to richer soil; in the Gulf terri
tory the fields are flooded by means
of a system of irrigating canals, owned
and operated by syndicate, the water
of these canals being supplied from ar
tesian wells or from bayous, the water
of the bayous being nothing more or
less than rain water, 1t having drained
over insoluable land, not particu-
ly fertile. The water in sur
rounding fields in Georgia Is
let in from the rivers and in
variably is rich with a soil in solution
which is invaluable as fertilizer when
deposited, as is the case when the
water stands for awhile. Here. too,
is a big item in saving. The Gulf
planters pay eight bushels per acre of
their crop to the irrigating companies
for their water. Not so here; it is to
be had for the letting in on the fields.
The wonder is, under the conditions,
that not more planting is done here.
In former years the receipts of the
Savannah mills ran up as high as $780,
900 bushels. 1t has gradually receded
to 400, 900 or $4,000 bushels. or about
one-half. The chief causes of this have
been storms and freshets. Because of
these planters have been wiped out in
one year. This was due entirely, how
ever, to the fact that the banks and
leyies were not storm and freshet
proof; but this can be done, well-post-
ed planters say, at a reasonable cost.
Then, too, pumping plants, which work
so successfully in the Texas and Louis
lana fields, could be installed at an ex-
pense of $l5 per acre, with no expense
but the initial cost.
II Is said by those best posted
that when the fields of this territory
are put in shape to withstand freshets
and pumping stations have been in
stalled, the soil and weather conditions
will tell for themselves and rice grow
ing will become one of the most pros
porous industries.

home, was taken from him. Ned Gas

shot through the back, sustaining a
dangerous wound. Seventy-five cents
was taken from his pockets. Sunday

one without authority. Whoever open
ed the box got the mail, and then tore
the letters up. scattering them in frag-
ments from the Regent Hotel to the
next corner on Love avenue. Enclosed
IN two of the letters were two small
money orders, one for $40. and the
other for 81.
