AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
HAS A BUSY VACATION
Students at Work Throughout
Vacation

Though it is vacation time, the
work at the Agricultural College goes
on steadily through the summer days.
In this particular it is unlike many
other schools, as the work goes stead
lily on from January to January.
Since the close of the spring term
in May, thousands of inquiries have
been answered, while circulars de-
scribing the school and its work are
being sent daily throughout the en-
tire country, thus adding largely 20
the wide publicity that is being re-
ceived by Americas and Sumter coun-
ty
A number of young men who at
tended the school during the past
year have not taken their vacation
They are busy earning their expenses
for the coming year by doing work
on the school farm. The crops cult
waited by these students are excellent,
as the school farm, though in one of
the dry streaks, has never had better
crops.
In fact this promises to be the BAN
ner year for the farm Superinten-
dent of the Farm Wicker expects an
average of a bale of cotton per acre.
He had expected to produce as much
as 100 bushels of corn per acre, but
on account of the protracted drouth
he is not sure of this now.
Sixty bushels per acre is the record
for the best oats grown at the farm
this year, with a total yield of 1880
bushels. The land on which the oats
we're grown has been sown in peas
from which one and a half tons per
acre can be expected The gross rev.
enue thus obtained from each acre
should average from fifty to sixty dbl
lars.
AS it now appears, many applica-
tions must be turned down for want
of room The reputation Of the school
is such that some of the men who
are educational leaders in Georgis
have asked for permission to entel
their sons in the school. Probably

SPEER FARM IS BOUGHT
AT PRICE OF $4,000
Fortune Paid For a Sumter
Plantation

Eighty thousand dollars was the
round figure price paid yesterday in
the purchase of one of the few remain
ing large farms in Sumter county, the
former Barney Parker plantation, near
Americus, and owned by Ed. c. Speer,
who acquired it a number of years
ago, when land hire was very much
cheaper.
The purchasers of this fine old es-
tate are Messrs Kelley & Sons, of
Americas, who bought it as an invest
ment. That it will pay them hand
somely is a fact assured.
The farm consists of about $500
acres, while portions of it are not as
fertile as other sections of the county
it lies we'll, and its near proximity to
Americas will render it very valuable
should it be divided into small farms
for settlers.
Two Of Sumter's good roads pass
through this big farm, and a subdi-
v:s'o,, would make the lands very ia
yitir : to investors. There are many
fertile acres upon it, of course; fine
streams running through it. while the
old homestead, with its great grove 81
oaks, is one of the most attractive il
the country.
The sale was affected jointly through
the Messrs. Andrews and P. B. Will
ford, real estate agents, and is the
next largest land deal effected here iG
long while.
