o,tention to the county of Terrell
s.om scarcely any angle. There were
orv good people, and people with
Iofnfte purposes, but they were not

lands around them. The price of

that in that day there were many
ianndiced and sallow compilations, so
many who we're without the energy
and enthusiasm which must needs be
present among a people to develop
any industry, especially that which
reouires service in the suns rays.
With the passing of time and natural
increase of population, as well as
with increased culture of this people,

wonderful changes in all this state

the nut grows, but there are many
crops which flourish at the same time
on the same land and bring excellent
incomes. 1t is also coming to notice
that the Satsuma orange is great
possibility here, and it need not be
a surprise if in a very few years
there are many of this valuable fruit
being produced in the county.
The methods of farming are being
greatly changed for the better with
the important changes referred to.
Instead of the one-horse pillow as
formerly, the two and three-horse
pillow is growing more and more COM
mon. This can mean but one thing,
and that is there will be much
greater increase than has already oc-
Cured in the amount of product OF
the soil.
Now, let the farmer begin to think
more of the use of the cultivator, that
instrument which will enable one
man to do the work of three or four
and still a half dozen rows while ne
titled one in the old way. These
are changes which are coming, as

has made for the county a reputation

county in Georgia, but to few, if any,
in this great nation. There is not

bushels of corn has recently been pro-
duced on one acre, and quantities of
this grain ranging from % to rs
bushels per acre have been common
for years. More than one hundred
bushels of oats per acre were pro-
duced by a number of farmers dur
ing the years of 1912 and 1913. The
varied character and fertility of the
soil is such as that almost any prod
uct of the temperate zone can be
grown in profusion. This is now
being markedly demonstrated by the
yearly increase in number of products
grown in the county never tried here
before. On many farms there have
recently been planted areas of alfalfa
and the results have already shown
the wisdom and success of the ven
ture. The farmers are beginning to
take more scientific view of their
work. They are studying the char
acter of the soil and its needs. Dur
ing the recent winter several car
loads of lime rock and burnt lime
have been shipped into the county
for use on certain acid areas as we'll
as for certain crops which require
alkalinity in the soil. Farmers are
looking more to the value of legumes.
They are hunting for the most useful
of these, those which are most pro-
ductive of nitrogen and which will
thus add this important ingredient
to the soil and save very largely in
cost of fertilizers. There will not
be that saving, however, in this re-
gard that there should be until every
farmer has learned the lesson Of pro-
ducing by rotation of crops through
the medium of such plants as the COW
pea, the soy bean, crimson and burr
clover, hairy vetch, ETC., the entire |
amount of nitrogen necessary to pre- |
vent the necessity of the purchase of
a pound of commercial nitrogen.
There is every indication that this
important advance is being rapidly |
made. The farmer is learn rapidly |
that in these legumes he not only has |
a product which means many thou |
sands to him in the matter of in
creased fertility of his soil, but that
he is adding many more thousands to /
his bank account through the medi- |
UNI of the hay thus produced. Be
sides many more farm products Of
the ordinary nature there is spring
ing up the tendency to vary from the
old way of confinement to corn and
cotton by the introduction Of truck
and fruit raising. Peaches have been
grown almost without a single COM
plete failure near Dawson for ten
years, and the success in returns has
been such as that the farmer who
has stuck to this product has within
the last two winters added many
more thousands of trees to the area
already set, and now his example is
being followed.
The land of the county has proven
to be unsurpassed anywhere for the
raising CT that valuable nut, the pc
can. Many acres are being set in
these trees and it will be but few
years before the county will be COW
cred by orchards of them of greater
or less pretention. Just here let it
be said that the young man who sets
him an orchard of these nuts now will
be able to crest from his labors"

before he is "called hence" Only

to agricultural pursuit. The forests
have vanished at the same time and
with the lands have been cleared of

high state of cultivation. Thus we

should not be surmised by what pre-

flat and pondy expanse, by no means.
The lands of the county, as a. rule,
are elevated and we'll drained by ma
ture, but there were formerly a few
ponds, and in most districts one or
more swamps about the creeks and
branches. AS said before, these have
largely been cleared and drained so
that there has been an almost COM
plete eradication of such menaces to
health, and with the removal of these
things there has been rapid bound
