10000 Gallons Of Syrup
From One GA. Field

Columbus, Ca, Oct. 8.-(SpeciaD
-Sevety thousand gallons of syrup
is the estimated yield of cane field
in Grady county, Georgia, where the
Sugar Valley Plantation Co., incor-
porated in Muscogee county, began
operations the first of the year.
The company, of which P. j. vii.
liams, of Columbus, is president;
Johnson H. Williams, of Columbus,
vice-president, and j. R. Sanders, of
Cairo, general manager, bought 500
acres and planted 100 acres in cane.
The crop is now made and grinding
will begin as soon as the weather
turns cold. The average height of
stalks is seven feet, and the esti-
mated yield is 700 gallons per acre.
. A 12,000-pound cane mill has
been installed and will be operated
by 100 horsepower boiler, steam
also being used in the canning of
the syrup which will be hermetical-
ly sealed in cans while heated to
1870 degrees. Sweet potatoes will
be canned in the same manner.
Next season, the company will
devote considerable acreage to po-
tatoes.
The cane mill installed has
crusher ahead of the rollers and it is
GAINED that under this process IS
per cent of the juice will be extract
ed. The average cain mill in South
Georgia obtains only 40 or fifty per
cent extraction, it is stated.

Poultry Show for
Ben Hill Co. Fair.

To make the poultry show one of
the attractive features of the Ben
Hill County fair, we earnestly in
vite and urge every poultry admir-
er and breeder of thoroughbred
poultry to become interested at once
and each one to work to make this
feature of the Fair success.
We know that at this time of
year and owing to the extremely
warm weather that but few chick
ems will be in first class condition
to show, but remember your neigh
boris will be the same, and we found
the birds exhibited at the recent
neighboring fairs to be the same, SO
do not hesitate on that account but
bring out the birds.
We positively know that Ben
Hill County can be the leading
county of South Georgia in fine
poultry, if the people can be induc-
ed to bring out their birds.
There will be no entry fee
charged and free coops and the best
of care will be provided during the
Fair by the Association.
A number of nice prizes will be
distributed to winners in the differ
ent classes. Any person in the
town or county who will exhibit
will please report to us giving the
number and class of poultry to be
exhibited so that the Association
may learn the number of coops to
be built.
Respectfully Yours,
j. P. Patterson.
