CROP THAT PAYS

A few small farmers in the
South, little more alert than
their neighbors are finding a live
opportunity in the commercializa-
tion of crop product that has
long been a general staple article
of home use. This long-neglected
product, which, in some hands and
in certain localities is taking on
the dignity of very profitable
cash crop, is cane syrup.
One of the pioneers in this COM
mercialization of cane syrup is G.
w. Storter, who runs a general
store in Florida and does farming
on the side. He declares that
canessyrnp is the most profitable
crop that he can prodnce, antisthat
hundreds of small farmers in these
localities of the South, where the
soil is adapted to cane culture, can
make it one of the best paying
crops from their lands.
II have raised sugar cane and
made it into syrup for years." de-
clared Mr.. Storter, ''and it is the
best crop 1 can grow. My aver
age production is five hundred
gallons of pure syrup from an arce
of cane, but in certain seasons |
have been able to take eight hun
dred gallons from an acre. And
thisresult has been had without the
use of a pound of fertilizer and,
without cultivation, after the first
year of planting.
"One planting has generally
served for ten or twelve years,
and certain of my paintings pro-
duced handsomely without renew
al for a still longer period. Here
we never start to grind up cane
before the first of January. This
means it has chance to reach
complete maturity. In localities
where the frost is earlier the crop
must be cut when it is only about
rs per cent. mature; but in local
tiles where the earlier cutting com
peIs 25 per cent sacrifice there is
still enough left to make it a de-
cidedly profitable crop. My net
profits vary from season to season.
Generally they are somewhere be-
tween $3.50 and 5000 per acre.
By net profit mean what is left
after deducting all labor and man
ufacturing cost is about seven cents
a gallon. Into this is figured the
expense of cutting, of hauling to
the mill, of grinding, of boiling
and of putting into cans. The to-
tai cost of production runs close
to seventeen cents gallon, and |
have never received less than
forty-five cents ut wholesale.
Sometimes the price has been very
much better than that"
The north is almost wholly ig |
norant of the merits of pure cane
syrup, and that when the mer-
chants of the South do the neces-
sary educational work this pro-
ilnct will come into its own and
bring new degree of prosperity
to thousands of small farmers who
are bound still by the traditions
pf King Cotton.-Forrest Crissey

AhO ONOnu1isUOOO Va ShSihOSAo . - Oua
the war department, having in
charge the deep water project for
Charlotte Harbor, visited Punta
Gorda on Thursday of last week,
and made an inspection of the bay
and the territory adjacent thereto
on both sides.
Lieut.. Col. w. G. Langftt
headed the committee, the other
members of which were Lieut.
Col. H. Taylor, Maj. w. J. Bar
den, Maj. j. R. Slattery and A.
H. Weber, the last mentioned a
citizen member of the engineer
corps acting as secretary.
In accordance with the desire of
the committee to inspect the lands
in this section, as well as to view
our harbor, to ascertain from a
personal investigation rs to wheth-
er or not there is sufficient COM
merce, present and prospective,
to warrant the United States I'M
dertaking the improvement deslr-
ed, arrangements had been made
to show the gentlemen around.
The committee was divided into
two parties, which were enter
tanned by the boards of trade of
Punta Gorda and Charlotte Har-
Dor respectively.
A committee from the local
board of trade provided automo-
biles and conducted one party over
the large area that is tributary to
this port, showing them the tim.
ber, fruit and vegetable resources
of this section, and the dormant
possibilities that are only await
ing development, all demanding
the improvement of our harbor.
Our neighbors across the bay,
entertained the other party In a
like manner, and went one better
by providing feast in the shape
of fish fry and picnic dinner that
cannot be excelled. 1t was one of
the finest spreads ever served un-
der the canopy of nature, and it
is very much regretted that the
Punta Gorda people did not un-
derstand that they were hidden to
this in full number. Word had
been sent that every body was in-
vited and expected TO attend the
affair, but for some reason it did
not become known, and while there
was representative attendance
from here, the Charlotte Hartor
people were puzzled to know why
more OF our people did not attend.
Those who might have attended
and yet did not do so, regret not
having knomn that u general invi-
tation had been extended, far they
feel that they missed rare treat.
1t was late when the party that
went to Charlotte Harbur return
ed, and trip down the bay which
had been planned, was abandoned.
At 2 O'Clock the hearing began,
the spacious porches of Hotel
Punta Gorda being used for the
purpose.
Lieut.. Col. Langftt opened the
meeting and stated briefly that the
committee from The war depart
ment was here for the purpose Of
receiving any further statistics and
data which would tend to show the
necessity of the twenty-foot chan
mel in Charlotte Harbor. He
then turned the meeting over to
Ex. Governor Gilchrist.
As the time was short, the gov.
ernor did not talk, giving way 10

Only Two Apartments.

Business men who ply between
home and Office in Atlanta have little
opportunity to observe the many evil
dences Of building progress in the
city. once they swerve from the
beaten paths and seek "byways and
hedges" however, they notice with
more intense interest the great trans
formation that is constantly taking
place. The prediction by prominent
real estate man Of 1000 new homes
this year and 5000 increase in pop
uIation, therefore, finds many APP
proving listeners among those who
stir about.
Tales Of home-building in Druid
Hills and out Peachtree Road have
lately been told. and now we come
TO Ansley Park. which is a little city
in itself. except for business. Under
construction at the present time in
Ansley Parks expanses of more than
200 acres are Is modern homes. some
of them palatial, some Of them fine,
some Of them modest, and all Of them
comfortable, modern and artistic in
the extreme. These homes aggre-
gate 100000 in cost. an average Of
about $4,000 per house. An apart
ment house. which shares with the
Virginian at the southwest corner Of
Peachtree and Fifteenth Streets the
distinction OF being alone in Ansley
Park. is under construction at the
southwest corner OF Peachtree Circle
and Seventeenth Street and will cost
$50. 900.
There are 25 other houses which
have recently been completed at a
total cost Of about 100000, or a little
less than $1,000 per house. Included
in both classidCations are a number
Of bungalows. which have been found
20 fit ideally in the typographical
makeup Of this section.

500. 600 in value. and the newer dwell
ings run the grand total up TO about

portant transaction has brought him
golden harvest Of dollars. His
ship" has never failed to come In.
Content for a time with his At
lanta transactions, Mr.. Gambler in
vaded New York. There he obtained
high priced lot and erected a "a
story skysCraper, which is the Cand-
Ter Building there like Atlanta's
boasted edifice is here. Then Mr..
Gambler bought a lot In Washington,
which he expects to improve. and the
other day bought an addition 10 his
present holdings in Chicago. These
are not the only American cities In
which Mr.. Gambler is interested, and
II won't be surprising to see Gambler
Buildings some day in more cities
than two.
A resident Of Druid Hills came to
town the other day with the an
nouncement that Samuel II. Ven
able's stone castle" at the northeast
corner of Ponce DeLeon Avenue and
Oakdale Road, was nearing com
pletion.' foreman on the job had
a different version. however. He de-
Clared that a year might be required
for completion. which would nearly,
if not quite, set a record for care
full construction in these parts. since
the dwelling has already been build

dences are going up much faster.
Mr. Eepable is conservative and
maybe that explains the care with
which he is going about the con-
struction Of the English house in
which he expects to live II will be
recalled that for fifteen or twenty
years Mr.. Venable laid away choice
material at Stone Mountain for this
house. and now he insists that ey-

failing be perfect. He won't accept
II otherwise.
