1t is based on a preliminary COM

bureau of the census. This summary
shows, for both the census of 1910
and that of 1900, the reported total
value of farm land, buildings and i'm
PIGMENTS and machinery; total acre
age; improved acreage; average
acres per farm; average value per
acre of farm land alone; the aggre-

number of farms according to color
of farmer; specified character of ten

mand for His Candidacy, Especial
" From Former Opponents.

ly From Former Opponents.
ATLANTA.-Governor Joseph M.
Brown, while in Atlanta Friday af-
ternoOn, was asked if it was true
that he had made statements to the
effect that he would not be a candi-
date for governor in the democratic
primary when held.
ANY such publications are sur
misses, was his reply. II have not
indicated to anyone whether I would
or would not be a candidate. ] have
said that as no vacancy in the office
exists and that as the authority most
interested has declared that none is
contemplated for several months yet,
an announcement of his candidacy
by anyone would seem premature at
this juncture.
Il have no desire to exploit the
people of Georgia for my benefit, and
l believe that they are entitled to a
rest from politics for as great a peri
Cd as may be made possible. A long
campaign would be detrimental to
the real interests of the state.
1T is true that l have within the
past two weeks received from every
AucI CCA VI TIC oldIG d uOOu OI let
ters, kilograms and personally COM
municated messages asking me to be-
come candidate, and l have been
impressed by the number of those
who assure me over their own sigma
lures that in the two last campaigns
they had opposed me, but now for
strong reasons advanced desire an
opportunity to vote for me- and |
have not heard of one who has voted
for me who is now against me.
"A call containing such elements
OF nOn-partisanship has deeply i'm
pressed me, and l cannot fail to ap-
preciate profoundly the sentiment
which inspires it and to feel that to
aid in harmonizing discordant ele-
ments is one Of the greatest aims to
be achieved by anyone, but my pri-
vate interests and plans have not yet
Epermittted me to decide the momen-
tOus issue involved.
However, unless this tide of ap-
peals from constant friends and old
time opponents shows before long
some diminution from it's present
volume | do not know what course
events may force me to follow. 7
can merely say at present that in
this conflict between my private in
terests and the public calls I am in a
measure relieved by the fact that the
existing conditions do not demand
an immediate decision"

WONDERFUL IS GROWTH OF FARM VALUES

value of all farm implements and ma
chinery, 113 per cent; in the total
improved farm acreage, 16 per cent;
in the whole number of farms, 29
per cent; and in the total farm acre
age, 2 per cent.
The only decrease during the de-
cade, among the items for which per-
centages are given, occurred in the
average acres per farm, 81 per cent.
The reason for this decrease is given
below.
The statement shows in detail that
the number of farms reported in
1910 was 290, 499, as compared with
PA, 691 in 1900, an increase of 20
per cent.
Farm Values.
The total value of farm land and
buildings was given in 1910 at $477,-
5000, as against $183, 100000 in
1900, an increase of S294,233,O0
or 100 per cent.
The total value Of all farm land
alone was reported in 1910 as $685.
10000, as compared with $685.
515, 900 in 1900, gain of $230,605,-
900, or 166 per cent.
The total value of all farm build
ings alone was given in 1910 as
S1O8, 483, 900 as against $44,S55, 900
in 1900, an increase of $50, 62S, 900,
or ZAP per cent.
In 1910 the value of the farm land
alone constituted n per cent of the
total value of land and buildings, as
compared with 76 per cent in 1900.
The reported value of farm imple-
ments and machinery was $20,S83,-
600 in 1910, as against $9,804,000
in 1900, gain of $11, 079, 200, or
113 per cent.
The total acreage reported in 1910
was 26, 1866 900 acres, as compared
with 26,392,000 in 1900, a gain of
$4,000 acres, or 2 per cent. This
small increase is due to the fact that
a decrease of nearly 100000 acres is
reported in the farm acreage in coun-
ties bordering on the Atlantic ocean /;
also a decrease of nearly 100000
acres is recorded in the counties in
the extreme northern part of the
state. In these districts much over
flowed land or rough woodland past
ure which was reported as in farms
in 1900 was not so reported in 1910.
The improved acreage was return
ed in 1910 as amounting to 2,264,-
600 acres, as against 10,616,000 in
1900, an increase of 1,648,00O or
16 per cent.
The average acres per farm re-
ported in 1910 was 90, as against
III in 1900, a decrease of % acres
or p per cent. This decrease is
probably due largely to the breaking
up of farms and plantations over
175 acres in size and their operation
| by tenant families Farms over It's
acres decreased 1912 in number dur
ing the decade, while those under
175 acres increased 76,72O during
the same period
The average value per acre OF
farm land and buildings in 1910 is
stated as SITS, as against $685. in
1900, rise of $1O.S3, or 1856 per
cent
Color of Farmers.
Of the whole number, 29O,499. OF
farms reported in 1910 there were
168,158, or 58 per cent, operated BY

Of the total number, 98,459, of
farms operated in 1910 by the "all
owners" class there were 80,231, or
81 per cent, reported as owned free
Of debt" and 1925, or 10 per cent,

ed, and these were included in the
