S125, 900 FOR COTTON

CORDELE Ga. Sept. 23.-Paid out for
cotton from Cordele banks last Saturday
-$125OOOl
Maybe that is not sufficient evidence
OF the Importance of coroeIe as cotton
market Consider what boon of pros
perity this crop alone is bringing to
Crisp and when you consider all that
goes to the farmers of the county dur
ing a cotton season for their staple. the
estimate of prosperity goes to bounds
beyond the average imaginative mind.
II that $4,000 was divided equally
among the inhabitants of Crisp county,
the amount would be. approximately H.Sl
and a fraction per capita, considering
that there are about 1900 people in the
county. Estimating that the average
family OF Crisp numbers FIVE, then this
amount divided would give each family
$S9.O5.

REcORD FOR COTTON.

DUBLIN, Ga, Sept. al never saw
such cotton in all my life!'
This was the exclamation OF Judge w.
F. Holt, chairman of the board OF coun-
ty commissioners of Putnam county, In
reporting the evidence of his findings
after an inspection of the c. S. Pope
three-acre patch.
Though / run 90 plows and am con-
.sidered an average good farmer that
patch does beat anything ever be-
held. I hardly believe that such cotton
could be grown anywhere in the coun-
try. Mr.. Pope Is q wonderful farmer
beyond any question and congratulate
him. The patch viii readily yield three
bales to the acre. If 1t had not been
for the rain l ami, sure that his yield
would have been much greater, but the
rains have caused small amount of
rot to set up"
Judge Holt came down from his home
in Eatonton especially for the purpose of
seeing the Pope cotton and the Mercer
and Thomas corn. In the case of the
latter he could not do so on account of
the high water that prevailed. his time
being limited Judge Holt said that Lau7
rens, was today the best advertised
county in the state from an agricultural
standpoint.

MILLEN, Ca, Sept aS.-On their farm
at Tingle, station on the Dublin and
Southwestern division of the Wrignts-
Vile and Tennille road, about six miles
from Dublin, Messrs. J. T. Mercer and
ID. r. Thomas, doing business as Mercer
& Thomas, gathered ZOOS bushels OF corn
from ten acres of land. or an average OF
100 IL bushels per acre.Ev.
The variety of corn planted was wna'
e. known as MERGERS Prolific. This corn
was improved by Mr.. Mercer after sew
eral years, work and is considered by
those who have seen Il the best corn
grown in the county. s&
The land from which this corn was
gathered was broken up the fall before
with a two-horse pillow. Following mis-
a four-inch scooter was used, and this
broke the land very deep, and this one
fact is considered to have had more ef-
feet upon the crop than anything else
that was done. -
In the spring the rows were laio on
three feet and eight inches apart and
the corn was planted, eight inches apart
in the drill Nine hundred pounds OF
commercial fertilizer and 100 pounds OF
nitrate OF soda were used during the
crop on each acre of the corn. The corn
was pIowed but once thoroughly. Every
other row was ploweds once. 1t can be
said. however, that the corn was ploweo
one time and a half. IS

vIDALIA, Ca. Sept cS.-Some Of the
best corn that We have seen this season
vas SHOWN at the Advance office Tues
day morning by Mr.. b. i. Palmer, who
lives about six miles from town. out on
Route i. Mr.. Palmer Is contestant in
the Tri-County Corn Growing Contest
that is being put on by the yidalia Hard
ware company. The Advance carried q
report of the acre that Mr.. Palmer is
farming some time ago when it was re-
ported that several had estimated the
yield at 40 bushels.
Mr.. Palmer says now that the corn Is
ready to be gathered and he is still OF
the opinion that he will at least gather
that much. and possibly more,
One of the ears that he exhibited was
~ inches long. This. however. was not
grown on the prize acre. The ears on the
prize acre are not so large as the other
corn, but there Is more corn on the cob
owing to the smallness of the cob. Mr.
Palmer says that he used about 1000
pounds of lot compost on his acre and on
the balance of his crop he used some
thing less than 200 pounds. AS the re-
suit of the unusually large yield, Mr.
Palmer is/converted to the new mode OF
farming ana believes that high fertiliza-
ton is the only real economy.
