FARM STATISTICS OF
GEORGIA EXPLOITED
Land Value and Number of
Farms COntrasted With
Other States
BY RALPH SMITH
y Especial Dispatch to The Journal

y Especial Dispatch to The Journal) =
WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 29-Under
the head of agriculture, in the statistical
abstract OF the United States, appears a
wealth of information, relating not only
TO the farms and farming industry Of
Georgia, but also to every other state
in the union. 1t appears that there were
in Georgia in 1900, 224,69 farms. These
embraced 26392,O57 acres of land. Only
4O.5 per cent of this land was improved
however In other words, there were TO-
615,644 acres of improved land. and over
is, 900, 900 of unimproved land.
The average number of acres to a farm
were III 1-2
A comparison of these figures with
statistics for 1850 and 1890 show that the
actual number of farms in Georgia in
creased from 13S,O00 In 1880. to 224,0OO in
1900. The total acreage, however, showed
an increase in the 20 years of only about
$780, 900 acres. 1t appears, however, that
the unimproved acreage, in 1880, exceeded
the improved acreage in 1900 by nearly
1000 900 acres. Thus, the statistics show
that the available farming land in the
state is being utilized more and more
each year.
It is also shown that the average num-
Der of acres to the farm In Georgia in
1850 was 1885, as against III IL in 1900.
The decrease in the size of the fans ac-
counts, of course, for their increase il
number in the state. This would seem
to be a refutation of the oft-repeated as
sertion that all the farmers are moving
to town.
* VALUE OF FARM PROPERTY
The value of farm property of all kinds
in Georgia has increased from SAB, 1885,
SOS.OO. IN 1885, to SECS, 374,, e37.OO in 1900 The
actual farm land in the state, including
the buildings in 1900, was estimated to be
worth slS3, $50, 1900. The implements and
machinery at that time were valued at
s., S0i, 0110. The estimated value of live
stock was SIS, 200, 507.

1t is estimated that $1,000 acres of land
in Georgia were devoted, in 1908, to the
cultivation of hay, and that $4,000 short
tons were produced. The value of this
crop amounted to $21S1,OOO.
To the cultivation of potatoes, 10000
acres of land were devoted. The aver
age yield per acre was rs bushels The
total production was 100000 bushels The
average price per bushel was $1.1O, so
that the total farm value was $S5S.000.
THE WOOL PRODUCTION.
According to the statistics there were
in Georgia on April list, 1905 2250OO
sheep of shearing age. The average
weight of the fleece, was IL pounds.
The washed and unwashed wool pro-
duced by these sheep weighed 7S7,5OO
pounds The secured wood weighed
472,5OO pounds. The average value per
secured pound was 40 cents. The total
production was worth $1S9,OO0. 1t is
stated that the quality was medium.
Georgia produced $5O7, 400 worth of
shingles in 1907
This concludes the synopsis of the

20S OOl bushels of wheat in 1908. Her yield
of wheat in 1906 was over 100000 bushels,
and in 1899 she produced over 100000
bushels.
The cotton crop and it's value is esti-
mated by states for ten years, periods
from 1889 through 1889, and thenceforth,
annually. In 1889, it appears, Georgia
produced only 426,612 bales of cotton. 1t
was until 1889 that as many as a million
bales and it lowered around 100000 until
1897, when the total of 1850, 7S1 bales were
produced.
The money value of Georgia's cotton
crop has shown an increase every year
since 1892 although the crop as a rule,
has increased in the size, not including
this year, of course.
The following table showing the num-
Der of bales produced and the value of
the crop by years since 1899. will be of

VENILE STORY by SEYMOUR EATON Author of the TEL
Illustrations by CHI. MENETREEs
Each InStallment a COMPLETE STORY

She'd like to have her fortune told.
But Helen Brown said, II don't care
About myself; just tell me where
My brother Jim is living today.
Two years ago he went away
And mother worries every night
Because she doesn't know where to write. +"
The Prince looked kindly at Helen Brown
Then took his golden zodiac down
With all its months and signs and days
And things to turn round different ways.
Then he called his cat: ''Muffles! this way!
These girls have work for you today.
Now, Helen, please turn round this hand
Of the zodiac and let it stand
At your brothers birthday, month and date
Then look in Muffles' eyes and wait.
PRINCE DOMINO spread on the floor
Of his little tent close to the door,
His U. s. map, showing every state
From down in Maine to the Golden Gate
Muffles looked pleased as the map he saw,
Then walked across and placed paw
On little town in Idaho
While he looked at Helen to let her know
That this was where her brother Jim
Could now be found if she d write to him.
And boys and girls who fortunes seek
Should know what followed, for in week
Jim got letter from sister dear
And wired her message of good cheer.
THEN said the Prince as he turned to Ruth
1.-The fortunes tell are always truth
And truth for you can best be told
In one small word of letters gold:
IT'S printed in your eyes and face
Your voice and walk; that word is GRACE.
Then he gave to each jewel rare:
The head of Muffles in a pin to wear
In memory of the hour they spent
That afternoon at the Gypsy tent;
And he loaded Dinkey up with toys
To give to the other girls and boys
As Ruth and Helen arose to go
He said, Your fortunes sure l know
For good luck builds her biggest nest
In the hearts of those who love the best"
DUTCHY returned to the camp at five
With two big rabbits, both alive;
In each hand one by ears held tight;
One rabbit gray, the other white.
Dutchy looked serious but Dinkey Dadd
Did two-step dance he seemed SO glad
While the Prince inquired if the Little Jap
Had lost himself or run off the map.
Muffles looked on and Meowed and Purred

NEW TRAINS ADDED TO GLObE-M|AM|
 SERVICE
Morning Regular Train May Make Trip to Miami Be
 fore Valley Trip

Beginning next Sunday the service between Globe and Miami will be i'm proved by the addition of one and possibly two extra trains, in addition to those which now carry passengers between these points.
 The new Miami depot is practically completed and it is hardly likely that there will be any delay in adding the extra service on the scheduled date.
 According to the present plans, the regular train crew of the valley line will make a trip to Miami and return before leaving for Bowie. This will give the residents of Miami a chance to leave for outside points directly from that town, as well as providing early service between Globe and Mi. ami.
 It is possible that the evenin gtrain may extend its run to Miami, immedi- ately upon arrival here, but this matter has not been definitely announced by the Arizona Eastern as yet.
 Although no definite announcement has been made as to when motor ear service will be installed between Globe and Miami, it is known that arrange ments are under way to secure motor cars for this run and it will probably be matter of only few months un- til the new rapid transit ears are in operation.

Short Session in New York and Chicago Show Lit
 tie Hesitation

NEW YORK, May 7.--The brief Sat. urday sessions of the stock exchange on the continent of Europe and in New York were further curtailed in the lat ter city and in Chicago by the early adjournment, where it was long enough to give an opportunity for demonstra- tion of financial confidence in the sit, uation left as the result of the sudden death of the king of England. No ex, changes were open in Great Britain, where, of course, the most direct result of the event will be felt
 The suddenness of the event left it without the powerful sentimental in fluence of coming portend. The op- portunity to be offered by the two-day interval for preparation before the re. sumption of next week s business evi- dently had it's part in absorbing the shock.
 Allowance must be made for the part played by supporting orders by the stronger financial interests in the day s advance in New York prices. With that allowance made the market gave clear evidence that no pressure was encountered to oppose that support.

Within the next few days work will be commenced on a new warehouse for the w. W. BrOokner company, which when completed will be one of the best structures of its kind in the city.
 The structure is to be of two stories, AZ by 90 feet in size and built entirely of reinforced concrete, with the eXcep- tion of the roof, which will be of fire proof fiber.
 Throughout the structure everything is designed with the idea of making it as nearly freproof as possible.

All electric wiring will be carried in metal conduit and in ad- ditioh to these precautions against fires, four two inch hose hydrants will be in stalled at convenient locations about the building.
 The structure will be erected i'm mediately to the rear of the Brookner store. The ground has already been cleared preparatory to beginning work and excavations for the foundation will be commenced at once.
 The building was designed by Archi- tects Holmes < Holmes, contracts hay ing been awarded to Briggs & Harmsen for the concrete work and to s. J. Ride nour for the carpenter work,
