BOUGHT A PEACH FARM NEAR
AMERICUS

The Times Recorder, Americas, Ca:
| You ask me why I came to Sumter
County, Georgia and how l like il
here?
While living in the Cold World Il am
Canadian) | bought an interest in
the noted Ware Peach orchard located
near Americas, and intended to invest
more in this orchard, but before doing
so l decided to make further personal
| investigation, so came to Americas
Sept. 10, 1910, and after looking over
the Ware peach orchard l was so well
pleased that instead of investing more
in it, l bought an ideal two hundred
acre fruit and truck farm just three
miles west of Americus, and after ona
and one-half years farm life in Geor-
gia | can say that | think the posslbil-
itie7 of the Georgia farmer and fruit
grower are greater than in any other
state in which | have lived, and
have been resident of Southern Cal
forna, Missouri, Tennessee, New
York, West Virginia and ontario, Can
ada.
Here we have twelve months in
which to do our work and it certainly
takes the whole year, for on much of
the land two full crops can be raised
Here let ME give all Northern friends
this advice-Bring you families with
you prepared to make this your home.
Of you have no family, then start in
and raise one.)
Americas is the center of large
fruit raising district with good ship
ping facilities to large cities, north,
south, east and west / think that |
was fortunate in getting one of the
ideal fruit and truck farms of the
state. Still there are other good farms
that can be bought at very reasonable
prices, depending on location; and |
think that | am safe in saying that in
Americas there are the most reliable
real estate agents of any place in
which | have ever lived, and it is
pleasure for them to show visitors ov-
er Sumter County.

PLANTING THOUSANDS
OF SATSUMA ORANGES
In SUMTER COUNTY

SATSUMA ORANGES are the --latest
addition to the varied crops grown
successfully in Sumter county. There
is every reason to believe that these
oranges, too, will thrive in this coun'
ty and section and that their fruit in
the course of a few years will be mar
keted from Americas to considerable
extent.
Four thousands trees of the Satsuma
variety have already been set out on
the Huguenin plantation in the eh'
IRENE eastern part of the county, near
the Flint river. AS with pecan trees
the holes were dynamited to secure for
the trees the benefits that accrue from
this modern process. These trees were
put out in the pecan orchard. TWO OIL

the development of the pecan trees
The Satsuma trees set out haH
been grated by the nursery on N
roots of the wild citrus, a tree that
native to this section and exceedingly
hardy. The Satsuma itself is a yeH
hardy specie of the tangerine or hG
glove variety of orange. 1t has Deel
known to begin bearing the secoh
year after grated stock has been SUI
out, growing rapidly, and becomes
very handsome bush, or small tree u
four or five years, then yielding aouu'
dainty.
Experience elsewhere has shown
that the pecan trees will not require
the entire soil for a period of ten
twelve years, by which time the SatSu'
ma orange trees will have fully aT
swered their purpose as profit prouuV
ers, and can be cut out.
Next year it is proposed to PA"
very heavily of the Satsuma oraHS'
trees on the Huguenin place.

Peanuts thrive in Sumter county.
Large quantities are grown and fed to
hogs, being appreciated as one Of
the most valuable of the native grown
feed supplies for such stock fatten-
ms and improving the quality of the
rlcat and returning a fine profit to the
grower in the increased value of the
hogs to which the peanuts are fed.
Some peanuts are sold in the local
market, but there has been no gem
eral cultivation of the article for
shipment elsewhere, although the
results have conclusively shown that
as fine nut can be grown here as in
other sections and with such enormous
yield as to make their cultivation pro-
fitable. With the general trend to-
ward a broader diversifcation of crops
that is now so evident it is probable
that the growing OF peanuts here for
shipment to Northern and Western
markets will become one of the fixed
features of farming operations in this
and adjoining counties.

TO pay more liberal salaries to the
teachers and extend the school terms,
there has been d very decided prog
ress made until today Sumter takes
very high rank among Georgia coun-
ties in the character of the educational
facilities provided for its children in
the country districts.
Sumter county, as an evidence of
its progressive character, was one Of
the first counties in the South to adopt
the transportation system for child
ren living at some distance from the
schools 1t now has four or more
wagons regularly employed in the ear
rying of children to and from the
schools. Whenever an adequate num-
Der of children are found living three
miles from the school contract is en-
tered into for their carriage to school
and back to their homes. This system
will be extended just as rapidly as
conditions demand it. This is merely
enc of the several indications of the
desire and intention of the school off
cials of the county to put the school
system abreast with the best in other
country sections and maintain it there
Hon. w. S Moore, for many super
fntendent of the county schools, has
prepared the following condensed in
formation as to the school system of
Sumter:
For several years our county has
been laid off in school districts. There
are twenty-eight school districts. So
tar as practicable they have been ar
ranged to have one white school in
each district, but on account of there
being few white children in three
districts we have a white school in on
Ey twenty-five districts. Now each dis
trict has one and sometimes more col
ored schools as we have thirty-eight
oolored schools in the twenty-eight
school districts These schools are on
an average four miles apart. Some
children who are too far from school
are transported in wagons. At present
we are running four wagons. We find
these children attend the full number
of days. The record for 1911 shows
the enrolment of the white children
Was one thousand and thirty-two, witt
an as"rage attendance cf S45 The en-
rollment of the colored children was

lie. five rooms, including music rooms.
Most of these school houses are located
in nice groves on our good roads
which makes them easy of access. Two
of these were built in 1911 Cobb and
Zimmerman
We have library in most of these
I schools Through the generosity of
the trustees of the Carnegie Library
of Americus the country children have
the privilege of the use of the books
from it, which is much appreciated
and used to an advantage.
we have thirty-three white teach
ers in our twenty-five white schools.
Plains High School is on the accredit-
ed list. 1t is managed by five dis
trict trustees; has five teachers;
grades run from one to eleven. These
are taught by a superintendent and
four assistants, all well qualified for

their work. The Leslie school has a
superintendent and three assistants
all thoroughly equipped for their
work. All the other schools in the
county are in charge of good and eff
cient teachers and are doing all in
their power to advance interest in ed
ucation. All our schools are using
the graded course for study furnished
by the state superintendent and have
graded their schools in most cases as
we'll as can be done in a country
school, All the schools are run for
eight months, and some for nine.
,.We have seven districts that have
a special local tax by the aid of which
these schools can be run as long term
schools.

taken from photograph made this
winter of peanut vines cultivated by
Mr.. Edison, just outside of Americas.
1t conveys an idea of the mass of
ground-peas or peanuts to be found
on vine. On one acre of land one
hundred bushels were secured. These
nuts are of the Red Spanish variety.
The land was prepared with a one
horse, No. 62 plow The rows were
run off as near three feet apart as
possible and four hundred pounds of
guano put in the rows, and then bed
ded on with a fve-inch ripper pillow.
The peas were put in from Is to 13
inches in the drill. They were planted
April 20, and when well up plowed
with 3 common 18-inch scrape, run
ming twice to the row. Only three
plowings were required, six burrows
in all, to finish the crop after plant
ing The vines are fine for horse or
COW. When the peas are well matur-
ed and the vines begin to turn yellow
they are taken up when the ground
is dry, and cured as would be hay. The

that before another election rolls

was lack of a working organiza-
ton that accounts for the defeat
of tn eprogressives in the recent

A site will be selected for per-
