SEED BRINGING
T0PM0sT PRICE;
FORTY DOLLARS
COTTONSEED WORTH ALMOST AS
MUCH AT COTTON

The seed from a bale of Sumter
county cotton is worth more money
in Americus today than an entire bale
of cotton was worth at this date last
season. Then. bale of lint cotton
was worth about S25. while the sect
from 1t was worth SEA total of SGT.
Today a ton of cottonseed Is worth $40.
the highest price to which this COM
modify has ever scared in the history
of cotton production-and the end is
rot yet.
There are those who express the
belief that the price Of seed will go
much higher still-probably to s4a.
or even to $50, eventually.
But it is a fact that cottonseed ars.
worth $40 per ton now, and difficult to
get at that fancy figure in large
quantities. In fact, several of the big
farmers of Sumter county and thfs
section will not sell their cottonseed
even at $40. Some of them do nnt
care to sell the seed at all, preferrinr
to keep them as a valuable fertilizer,
70 be used upon the farm
At current prices for cotton and
cottonseed in the Americus market. a
bale of cotton is worth $50, while the
seed from it 1000 Ibs.) is worth s2o
"a total of $50 per bale Some profit
in raising cotton at these earthquake
prices.
The season here ope~ed with seed
worth $1S to $40 per ton, and within
sixty days the price has doubled. anu
may go very much higher. TIE de-
mand for cottonseed has been phenom-
enal and aside from local demand. the
big mills up the state have for weeks
past had agents stationed In everv
town and village in this section OF
Georgia and fierce competition to get
the actual goods has sent the price os
seed to stepladder heights.
In the meantime commercial rerns-
izer of the 1922 quality can ce bought
in Americas at $2S25 per ton payable
a year hence, and some farmers may
deem it economy to sell seed at $fJ
and buy fertilizer at $2S.25.

Henry Lanier is dead. Sorrowfuliy
the distressing announcement, which
carried keenest regret to hundreds

truth that it carried poignant grief
into every home in Americus, where
he was so we'll known and so generally

of three weeks duration, the result Of
some severe heart affection.

expected, though none the less deplored

was in all truth one of natures noble
men.
A little more than three weeks ago
Mr.. Lanier was stricken down with
severe heart affection. The attack
came suddenly, and his consequent ILL
ness was attributed to close applica-
ton to his onerous duties as general
accountant for the Americas Grocery
Co., which in conjunction with his
brother Frank Lanier, he established
more than twenty years ago, and to
which he gave unremitting care and
attention
Mr.. Lanier was reared in West Point,
Ca, and was in his 54th year. Quite
half of his life was spent in Americus. |
and in Albany, where the company also
has large commercial interests. A cap
able, sagacious business man, success
attended his efforts wherever directed |
In the social realm he was popular
and claimed friends to the limit of his
acquaintance. While a resident of
Albany, he married Miss florida Gilbert
