GA. POPULATION
Is 2,S93,6Ol
BUREAU STATES
State Has Attained In
crease of 1919 Per Cent
In Decade

WASHINGTON, August 2.-The
census department announced today
the total population of Georgia, ex-
cept one militia district, from which
returns have not yet been received,
as 2,893,601, an increase of 284,480
or 10.9 per cent.
Georgia had a population of
2,609,121 in 1910, ranking it as the
tenth most populous state in the
union. 1t showed an increase of
392,790, or 17.7 per cent, for the
ten years ending with 1910. The
numerical increase was the largest in
its history prior to the present CEN
sus. Georgia's largest relative in
crease was 97.1 per cent in the dec
ade 1790-1800. When the first fed
eral census was taken in 1890 Geor-
gia had a population of 82,548 and
it ranked then as the seventeenth
among the state and territories.
In area Georgia ranked as goth
among the states in 1910 with land
area of 58,725 square miles, making
its population average 44.4 per
square mile, compared with an aver
age of 800 per square mile for the
country as whole.
Georgia was one of the 13 original
colonies, adopted it's state constitu-
ton in 1777 and ratified the federal
constitution in I1788. During the
first 60 years from the first census in
1890 to 1850, the rate of increase in
Georgia's population was much high
'er than in the following go years,
ending with 1910. During the first
so years, the rate of increase did not
fall below 81 per cent in any decade
and the population at the end of the
period was nearly II times as large
as at the beginning. During the Sec
Npnd so years the rate of increase
ranged from IL per cent to 3O.2 per
cent and the population in 1910 was
somewhat less than three times that
of 1850.
Comparison of the rates of increase
for the state with those for the U. S.
shows that during each decade from
1890 to 1910 the rate of increase for
the state was higher than that for
the United States. From 1910 toI
1910 the rate for the state was lower
than for the country as whole, ex-
cept in the decade 1870-80 when the
states rate was slightly higher.
The population of Georgia in 1910
was a little more than 81 1-2 times
as large as in 1870, when the first
census was taken, while the popula-
ton of the United States in 1910 was
% times that of 1890.

This Is Fourth Tour of Ark.
Profitable Farming Bureau

What is the movement which
brings trainload of representative
farmers, bankers and business men
of Arkansas to Sumter county today
for the purpose of viewing our crops
and soils and learning our farming
methods? It is the Arkansas Profit
able Farming Fourth Annual Tour
promoted by the Arkansas Profitable
Farming Bureau, a subsidiary of the
Little Rock Board of Commerce. The
whole story of the aims and pur-
poses of the tour, together with some
information on what this live Little
Rock organization is doing for its
state, is told in a folder prepared IN
advance of the organization Of the
tour, from which the following, self
explanatory is quoted:
"Tour to the district in North
Carolina, South Carolina and Geor-
gia. where high yields of cotton and
large profits are made on soils that 20
years ago were considered worn out
and that were producing around 100
pounds Of poor cotton an acre. We
are going to learn how they made
this worn-out land become so fertile
and how they produce such large
yields.
Delta Yields Less.
"Dr. TAFT Butler says that the rich
est soil in the Delta do not produce as
high yields of cotton as do the thin
upland soils of Carolina under their
present treatment.
Professor ]. N. Harper says that
sandy landp poorer than Arkansas
uplands, produced last year two bales
of cotton an acre.
Marlboro county, South Carolina,
averaged nearly bale an acre IN
1919 for every acre planted. The
average yield per acre in Arkansas
in 1918 was 158 pounds, and in 1919,
155 pounds. If the average yield IN
Arkansas was equal to that of MARI
boro county, this state would pro-
duce three million bales annually
from its present acreage, or its pres
ent Weld from one-third the acreage
planteC.
eve want representative men
from each of the II cotton growing
counties in the state to go with US
on this trip; men who have the In
fiuence to go home and get the cot
ton raisers in their counties to use
methods that will secure high yields.
We hope to have on this trip the
best cotton growers in each county
the merchants in each county who
own cotton land and sell goods to
cotton growers, and representative
from every bank that loans money
to cotton growers in Arkansas.

KHAKI MARCH
FROM STATION
Party Arrived Early and
Left at 8:15 to See the,
County

Khaki-clad, with broad-brimmed
straw hats, woolen shirts, with col
lars turned up, the one hundred and
fifty and more Arkansas farmers and
those accompanying their party, filed
out of their special train this morn
ing at o'clock, ready for a busy
day of inspection,
Automobiles were waiting for
them, and were quickly filled by the
hungry party, all wanting to know
where breakfast could be had. Those
unable to secure seats, formed in a
line of twos and marched to the
Windsor Hotel, through the lobby and
on up to the dining room, where Man
ager Rogers told them every one
would be given breakfast as fast as
they could be served. Some of the
party scattered to the restaurants
rather than wait their turn in the
dining room.
From to 8;15 the Arkansans
breakfasted, wrote letters home, vis-
tied around the center of the city and
answered the thousand and one, ques-
tions passersby stopped to ask.
1t is a genial, good-natured, bunch
of farmer-business men, bent on gain
ing all of the information there is to
be had. They have the appearance
of knowing what they are after and
how to find it. One can readily see
this is not the first trip of this party.
Governor Brough could not accom-
pany the party, and all seemed dis
appointed that he was not along.
THE party is too large by half"
one of those in charge said at is
unwieldy and should be divided. You
can't get down to brass tacks with
so large bunch. We hope to divide
the party into two separate parties
and thus make it possible to get over
the ground faster. We are here to
see what you do in the way Of ferti-
lizing. Out my way we don't use
fertilizer and my cotton is waist and
shoulder high. | can't talk to you
now. Where's the nearest restau-
rant? It's after six and l haven't
had bit to eat. l am a farmer and
want my breakfast before sun-up."
At 1880 the automobiles were all
lined up, ready for the start and the
farmers were climbing in, impatient
to be away on the days run.
