Frank Weldon Writes On
Developing Farms In State

What is the average Industrious
white farmer worth to his county?
One hundred dollars year? Five
hundred dollars? A thousand?
We often hear it said of man; HE
is not worth his salt" or He is not
worth the powder it would take to
blow him up"
That is not the kind of man on whom
We are figuring.
Former Secretary James Wilson, OF
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
used to say that the average farmer
was worth $500 year to his state. He
based that on the estimated value of
the average farms annual products.
The last census did not even attempt
lot compute the vital value of farm
products, but the agricultural depart.
ment estimated that he average farm
yields produces worth 81 400 a year.
According to the best information
available, the average yield of Geor-
gas 100000 farms is about $500 a
year.
There are~ two reasons why this
state falls below the average for the
entire country. One is because forty
three out of every one hundred farm
ers in the state are negroes and it is
matter of common knowledge that
their yields are below those of the
white farmers.
Another reason is that Georgia's
farms average but SO acres, against 1877
fer the entire country.
There are twenty-five per cent. more
one-horse negro farmers than one
horse white farmers in Georgia. but
there are fifty per cent. more whites
running two and three plows than
there are negroes operating farms OF
that size
The farms in Georgia operated by
whites when the last census was taken
averaged 11S acres; the farms opera
ed by negroes So negroes.
Speaking roughly, it would seer
haiti he whites averaged yield around
1,1OO each, and the negroes some
thing like $500 each.
There were 10000 white farmers
and 5000 negro farmers in Georges
in 1910.
Georgia can easily accommodate
100000 more farmers, allowing Ills
acres to each. That would take 1900
900 acres, and we would still have that
much more land that has never known
p pillow or hoe.
One hundred thousand new white
farmmers, each producing farm crops
having an annual value of $1,1Oa
would add $11O,OOO,OOO of new wealth
per year. They would do more thai
that through the enhancement in lant
values-an increase due to their labor
their improvements, their development
Every other land owner would benefit
by this increment. The merchants ant
manufacturers would have from a quar-
ctr to half million new cusomers, he
banks new depositors, the newspaper;
new subscribers.
