in Sumter county is shown
in the record for one far
mer on sixty acres. N. A. Ray,
progressive and prosperous far
mer living about two miles from
the city of Americas, planted 90
acres of his farm in corn, velvet
beans and peanuts. He gathered
40 bushels of corn to the acre, a
total of 2, 400 bushels, which at
the prevailing market price of
$50 per bushel was worth So
10000; he gathered and sold
100000 pounds of velvet beans
for $4,000; he also killed 49,
900 pounds of pork fattened on
the 90 acres after gathering
corn and velvet beans and this
meat was conservatively esti-
mated as being worth 81, 900. 90
thus showing total cash income
of approximately 100000, be-
sides furnishing ample pasturage
for 80 head of beef cattle, six
milk cows and SO head of stock
hogs.

cry year.
The advantages of Sumter
county as a stock raising sec
ton can scarcely be over-esti-
mated. Favored by nature with
conditions that make it practical
to follow a crop rotation system
that will provide year-round gra-
zing, it has been demonstrated
by local men with vision enough
to see the opportunity that feed
err cattle can be made a source
of wonderful profits. With the
cattle tick eradicated, this coun-
ty having been released from
quarantine in 1919, the start has
already been made by a num-
Der of progressive farmers, and
now that the forage production
has reached such large proper
tons it is safe to say that the
feeder industry will become a
most important one.

bilities in diversified farming

ceived by the Chamber of Com
merce from over 200 farms
showed an average of over six
cows to the farm, an increase of
more than 500 per cent
since 1910. In 1910 there
was an average of only twelve
hogs to each farm in the county
whereas in 1918 the average had
increased to SIS. Last year and
this the average has increased
still farther:
While the numerical increase
has been rapid, the improvement
in class and quality of stock has
been almost phenomenal. Native
cattle of unknown breed, and ra-
zor-backed, piney-woods hogs
have long since been replaced
by the highest standard of
breeds obtainable. Some of the
finest herds in the south are to
be found in this county and
thousands of dollars worth of
registered breeding stock are
shipped from Sumter county ev-

SUMTER'S
MANY SOILS

1T is conceded that the soils of
Sumter county are, generally
speaking, the most productive in
the State of Georgia; practically
every crop requiring semi-trop-
ical climate can be successfully
and profitably raised here. Fol-
lowing are extracts from a report
issued by the Bureau of Soils,
United States Department of Ag-
riculture, from a survey made in
1910. Conditions now are very
much more favorable than at
that time because of the improv-
ed methods of farming and fer~
tilizing.
For various reasons soil ero-
sion in Sumter county has not
been severe. The sand belts Dor
dering the streams take up much
of the rainfall, which later finds
its way to the streams as springs.
The pebbly Of sandy character
OF much of the upland country
does not favor erosion. The
streams therefo.> contain clear
water most of the time. There
ere no high Bluffs along the
ST. cams. The surface usually
slopes back gradually from the
streams to the higher land.
Sumter county was laid out
in 1881 from part of Lee county
and was named for Gen. Thorn
as Sumter. Since the county was
organized the boundary line has
been changed in many places.
The first inhabitants of Sumter
county came principally from

the older counties of the state.
The land at that time was own
ed in very large tracts by a few
men. Since that time many of
these large holdings have been
divided into smaller farms and
sold to newcomers.
Most of the good farming
of this county is carried on by
white men who have made a
study of agriculture and its pos
sibilities here in the South and
who believe that it may be de-
veloped here as extensively and
profitably as in any other part
of the country. They have adopt
ed modern methods and are US
ing improved machinery.
Sumter county lies wholly
within the Coastal Plain, its nor
thern boundary being about e
miles south of the Piedmont line.
The soils are predominantly
sandy, but there is sufficient
range in their characteristics for
the development of an intensive
and varied agriculture. Twenty
two distinct soil types were es-
tablished in the survey, each of
which differs from the other in
some degree in agricultural value
in productiveness, crop adapta-
ton, manurial requirements, o..
requisite cultural methods.
, The various grades of land
except in case of stream bot
toms, have been classified as
coarse, medium, and fine sands,
gravely loans, sandy loans, fine
sandy loans, loans, clay loans
and clay; and these grouped into
series of red soils. black soils,

soils with yellow subsoils, etc.
Sumter county embraces five
we'll defined soil divisions, name
ly:
CD Soil (Sumter stony loam)
derived through the decay of
consolidated material or lime
stone which was formed in the
sea that in past ages covered all
of South Georgia; (2) Soils
formed under water over the
limestone formation, including
the Orangeburg, Greenville,
Norfolk and Triton series; 81
soils formed under poor drain
age conditions from unconsoli-
dated materials laid down over
the. limestone including the
Portsmouth; ca alluvial soils
recently formed by deposition of
material from the overflow of
waters of streams, including
Meadow (Ochlochnee materially
and Swamp; and 90 second
bottom or old stream alluvium
represented by Kalmia sandy
loan.
Cotton has heretofore been
the leading crop. 1t is grown by
every farmer on all kinds 'of
land. The yield varies from one
third to one bale or more per
acre. Corn is also generally
grown. The cat crop is a very
important one and is increasing
in acreage. Cowpeas are also
important.
Trucking is not important in
the area, although the soil, the
climate, and the market are
all favorable to its de-

velopment. Cantaloupes, wa
termelons, Strawberries and
all the garden vegetables
do well. The conditions are
favorable for the growing of to-
bacco, but very little is grown at
the present time.
Some of the largest and fin
est peach orchards in the South
are in Sumter county. Many or
chards of pecars are being set
out, and the growing of this nut
promises to become the most i'm
portant special industry. p
The soils of Sumter county
are derived from material wash
ed down from the Piedmont
Plateau in past geological ages
and from a soft limestone which
underlies all parts of the county
at depths varying from few
inches to many feet. They range
from the lightest sands to the
heaviest clays. The soils in the
northern part are for the most
part light and sandy and adapt
ed to crops requiring only short
season, such az oats, cowpeas,
ard truck. In the western part,
near Plains, there are large areas
of a heavy clay soil belonging to
the Greenville Series and adapt
ed to such crops as cotton, corn
wheat, and perhaps alfalfa.
In the southern and south
eastern parts are large areas of
light yellow soils we'll adapted to
truck and other short-season
crops, as well as to many of
the general farm crops. These
yellow soils belong to the Nor
folk series. The black Ports
mouth soils are wet and swampy
and are not much cultivated.
The pebbly lands of the
county belong to the Triton and
the Greenville series. They are
among the best and highest
priced lands and produce the
best yields.
The Greenville loamy sand,
though called a sand, is of high
er value than most sands, as it
has a retentive subsoil, usually
within IS to Is inches of the
surface, and produces good
yields of many crops grown
here. Corn does surprisingly well
on this soil.
There are some stony areas
in the county, due to ridges of
ebert that did not weather down
with the limestone. They are
mostly wooded and not cultiva-
ted, although we'll adapted to
growing fruit.
The swampy areas, found
along the larger streams and in
some isolated sections, are util-
lied only for hog ranges.
The climate is healthful and
the general health of the COM
munity is excellent.

1t will be noted that Sumter
county farmers have abandoned
the one-crop system. Until a few
years ago cotton was raised al
most exclusively and at one time
Sumter WAS the second largest
cotton pco lucirs county in
Georgia. However, notable
changes have been gradually
taking place during the past six
years, due largely to the inva-
sion of the boil weeviI. When
the pest first appeared in Mis-
sissippi and Alabama, the far
mers of Sumter county immedi-
ately inaugurated measures to
counteract the destructiveness of
the boil weevil by changing their
agricultural plans to meet the
new conditions, and i'll these few
years Sumter county has been
transformed by diversified farm
ing into a county which istnow
producing in abundance practi-
cally every variety of crop which
can be grown in this latitude.
The following table, compil-
ed from authentic reports gath
cred by the Chamber of Com
merce for the year 1918, which
correspondent we'll with condi-
tons this year, graphically illus
trates the diversification of
crops throughout the county:

Probably the most remarka-

increases in live stock on the

SUMTER'S

SOM lex county is situated
in the southwestern part
of Georgia, is in the very
center of what is ac-
knowledged to be the rich
est agricultural section of the
Empire State of the South. The
county contains approximately
81, 500 acres, or about 504
square miles. 1t is divided into
nine land districts, known as mi
litia districts, which correspond
to township divisions in other
states, these districts being di-
vidied into land lots containing
approximately 202 acres each.
The topography of the coun-
ty varies from quite rolling in the
northern part to almost level in
the southern section. The gener-
al slope is from the northwest to
the southeast, and practically all
the streams flow in a 3 outheas-
terly direction. The Flint river
forms the eastern boundary line
and receives the drainage of sew
eral smaller streams. Many of
these streams have numerous
tributaries which have their
source in perennial flowing
springs, the most noted of which
are Magnolia Springs, Myrtle
Springs and Sweet Water Min
eral Springs, all of which are
popular resorts for campers and
summer cottages.
Although Sumter county was
formed in 1881, it is practically
in its infancy as regards devel-
opment due almost wholly to
the fact that for many years its
lands were owned in large tracts
by few men, five to ten thous-
and acre farms being typical of
this section. This condition, how
ever, is undergoing a marked
change, and it will be noted
from the u. S. Census of 1900
that at that time the average val
ne per acre was $6.87, but in
1910 it had jumped to $l9,95
per acre. 1t is estimated by those
in position to know that the
1920 census will show average
value in excess of $50 per acre.
The best grades of farm lands
now sell at from 500 to $50
per acre, and even more.
The Bureau of Crop Statistics
of the United States Department
of Agriculture places George
fourth in rank in the value of all
crops produced in 1918, and
Sumter county fourth in the state
of Georgia. The following table,
compiled from authentic infor-
nation, gives the value of the va
rious crops produced in Sumter
county in 1918, these being the
latest figures available:

$1,OOO,OOO Rural Paving

VUMTER county is now. beginning the paw
ing of her main rural highways radiating
in all directions from Americas. The first
three-mile project, on the Dixie Highway,
just east of Americas, is nearing COM
pletion. Macaesam aphalt is being laid,
with a driveway eighteen feet wide.
Last year Sumter county voted half
million dollars in bonds, which money
is being matched by the government dollar
for dollar in carrying on this federal aid work.
In these times of the high cost of everything,
the county is effecting big saving and get
ting the job done at a reasonable figure by
doing the work itself largely by convict la
Dor. Sumter has long been the banner good
roads county, but has reached the point where
the best dirt roads are not good enough.
