100000 GALLONS
UNFAVORABLE CONDITION OF
WEATHER REDUCED CROP
IN STATE 100000 GALLONS.

CAIRO, Ga.-Georgia will produce
this year about 100000 gallons of
pure cane syrup, according to conserv-
alive estimates compiled here, based
on present conditions.
The yield will be somewhat lower
than in 1924, when the state produced
upwards of 100000 gallons, one of
the largest crops ever produced.
While it is problematical to attempt
to value the 1925 crop at the present
stage of the marketing season, the
years production should yield an in
come of about $2,250,000
OF the states total Grady county
this year should produce about 1850
600 gallons, valued at about 100000.
Generally speaking, the acreage in
the state this year is about the same
as for 1924, but the yield has been
cut by unfavorable seasons during the
middle part of the growing season.
