BROOKS is located in extreme Southern Georgia, or what might be termed a little south west Georgia, and bounded on the south by the State line of Florida and it is true that there is a narrow strip of light gray, but very fertile soil extending partially across the south ern end of the county. With this one exception, almost the whole country is composed of a red pebbly rocky soil, with a stiff firm clay sub-soil, surface partially, level, but sufficiently undulated for perfect drainage. Brooks is a small county, contain 296,320 acres (of as fine farming lands as can be found in Georgia) or 463 square miles, with a population of 24,000 home loving and home build ing people, that raise from 12,000 to 15.000 bales of cotton annually, about one-fourth of this being the Sea Island variety.

In addition to the Pork and Cotton Industry of this county, our farmers ship from 500 to 600 car loads of Watermelons to the Mastern and Northern Markets earn season at an approximate net income to the countv-seat from $40,000 to $50,000.
