RAISING CATTLE
INSTEAD COTTON
VERY PROFITABLE

| Sumter's progressive farmers, many
of them, are preparing to give con-
siderable attention to the raising of
! improved stock, both cattle and hogs.
and will find in this business a source
of great profit. Already many farm
| ers here raise fine stock, but the bust
ness is going to be vastly increased,
and herds of fine cattle will. another
year, be pastured in grain fields here
tofore revoted to the Improbable bus
MESS of raising cotton, which, even at
the best gives but a meagre return
upon the investment.
All over South Georgia, as well as
in Sumter county, the people are prs
pairing to quit cotton for grain and cat
tie. This plan will bring about the
best condition ever known here, before
/ VI SIHCc lue CIVIL war.
Down in Bulloch company has been
organized and arrangements COM
pleted for launching the cattle-raising
business on the largest scale yet I'M
dertaken in this section.
Statesboro capital has been interest
ed, and tract of land along the Inc
of the Savannah and Statesboro rail
way hos been purchased. The tract
consists of loo acres and is consid
cred the best pasture land in that sec
ton. 1t has been fenced with wire and
ii is the intention of the promoters 10
stock the tract with blooded cattle
and hogs.
1t is understood that the first in
stallment will be 500 head of fine COWS
and large number of thoroughbred
hogs. In the company are ]. G. Bitch,
D. N. Bacot, of Americas, W. B. Mar
tin, ]. N. Shearouse, W. G. Raines and
r. F Donaldson.
A feature about the tract IS that il
was few years ago considered worth
less swamp land, but a plan dawned
upon Mr.. Bacot, who was then super
intendent Of the Savannah and States
boro, and through his energy a canal
was dug through the land draining i
thoroughly, and most of it has been
cleared and put in cultivation, dem
onstrating the usefulness of swamp
lands
The second installment of cattle
will include ESQ blooded COWS and the
promoters are hopeful of marketing
500 beeves annually. Outsiders have
invaded Bulloch county and bought up
and shipped out cattle until they are
now scarce. A dipping vat will be
built to eradicate the cattle tick AMI
every modern method will be en-
ployed.
