VALUE OF GEORGIA'S
PRODUCTS ENORMOUS
FIGURES PREPARED BY ASSIST.
ANT COMMISSIONER OF AG-
RICULTURE STUPENDOUS.

B. H.. Grower, the assistant COM
missioner of agriculture, has just
prepared a statement showing the ex-
traordinary production on the farms
of Georgia for 1917, in the principal
agricultural lines. The total value of
Georgia's leading farm crops, accord
ing to Mr.. Growers figures, is $518,-
1880, as compared with $780,
075,OO0 in 1916, or an increase of
nearly $200,000,000.
The value of the 1917 cotton crop
alone is but a few millions less than
the entire agricultural production for
1916. Mr.. Grower puts down 1,700,-
600 bales of cotton at an average of
$125 a bale or total of 12,500,-
900, while he places the value of
cotton seed at 59,500,000, on the
basis of an average price of $40 per
ton.
Dealing with the principal food
and feed crops, Mr.. Grower says
Georgia made this year 71,700,0O0
bushels of corn which, at an average
of Sill per bushel, means $122,-
100000. Georgia farmers planted
100000 acres in velvet beans this
year making about 937, 500 tons,
worth $25 a ton or total of $23,-
437, 500
They made 100000 bushels of
peanuts worth $22,500,OO0; 1O,320,-
000 bushels of oats worth $12,477,-
200; 100000 bushels of cowpeas
worth $4,000, 900; II, 100000 bush
els of sweet potatoes worth $780,
600 and other crops including peach
es, apples, wheat. hay, Irish potatoes
and minor food products, bringing
the total up to the magnificent sum
stated.
Indications are that Georgia easily
made enough foods for herself until
the next crop season comes around,
with the exception at least of meat,
of which she will continue to import
largely, though Georgia is gradually
increasing her meat output

One DIVISION TO Be
ALL SOUTHERN MEN
MOST OF TERRELL COUNTY MEN
IN 1T. BELIEVED WILL SOON
SAIL FOR FRANCE.

CAMP WHEELER, MACON, Ga.
Composed almost entirely of South
erners, the Thirty-first division has
been officially named the Dixie divis-
ion and thus will be known when it
reaches the battle front in France
Dixie Division.
Formed by $4,000 tanned soldiers
from Georgia, Alabama and Florida,
the division is distinctly Southern.
There are a few officers in it from
other parts of the country, but the
rank and file are Southern to the
core. When the training program is
completed and the division is sent to
France the Germans will find oppos-
ing them as hard an aggregation of
fighters as the South ever sent to
battle and it's a safe prediction that
more than one Boche will feel chills
chase up and down his spine when
the men of the Dixie division give the
rebel yell as they charge over the
top"
The war machine here is rapidly
being whipped into shape to take the
finishing training course after it
reaches French soil Orders are is
sued daily governing details of prep
arations to sail. Those issued yes

A Million Soldiers VIII Get
Thanksgiving of Drowned Turkey

On Thanksgiving day, November,
1868, the snow lay deep on the
North, and the soldiers of General
Grant shivered on short rations.
Thousands Of them were in train
ing camps, and thousands of them
were at the battlefront.
In the South the chill of desultory,
damp rain made the bones ache, and
caused General Lees brave boys in
gray to wander back in memory to
gay scenes of turkey, steaming plum
pudding, and gay faces.

when the soldiers in both armies,

These orders have given rise to
rumors that the division soon will
sail. The rumors, however, have
been met with denial of knowledge
of when the unit will be called. Off
GERS explained that the orders were
issued so as to keep the men prepar-
ed to leave on short notice and to
accustom them to that condition. 1t
is hardly thought that orders to leave
will come before the sixteen weeks

FOREIGN CROP SUMMARY.

Liverpool, June 27.-wheat: General
situation more favorable from the
point of immediate supply. Arrivals
continue liberal at fair prices and con-
sumption reduced. 1t is believed that
with such rigid enforcement of econ
omy the world over, improving crop
prospects, the season approaching Will
find the supplies adequate.
Purchases are being made with con-
servatism.
Corn: Stocks in United Kingdom
and continentsare generally light and
floating quantities light Exporters are
offering sparingly and the unfavorable
quality in Argentine and reports that
the crop is generally limited and or
light quality. Spot holders are strong
and offers light consumption IL re-
duced but still requirements are i'm
portant.
oats: Supplies are increasing and
demand uuieter, Argentine holdings
fair and crop prospects throughout
Europe are improving. American out
look is excellent. Stocks are being
built up to satisfactory proportion

GRAIN OPINIONS.

Ware & Leland: Good crop pros
poets and a lessening of the foreign
demand may permit home further de-
cline but supplies are not sufficiently
liberal to warrant much setback.
Simmons Day: Crop prospects are
too favorable for any sustained adj
vance from present prices.
Lamson Bros. g. Co.: The exports
commission appointed by the president
is expected to scrutinize all the ship
ments of corn to neutral nations and 1t
is not unlikely that the demand from
this source will show material de-
crease.

market may act as boomerang and
we would not care to follow the de-
cline. X. d. Co.
