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. Furnishes the market with approximate
ly one and a half million pounds of smoked dried pork
or bacon, and about one million pounds of live pork (hogs
on their feet), saying nothing of the vast quantity of
bacon, pork, hams, sausage, lard, etc., used at home.
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. Besides this, Brooks County
soil as a whole, is especially adapted for the production
of corn. oats, peanuts, peavine hay, sugar cane, sweet
potatoes, etc. If you are interested in high class farm
lands why not come down this summtr and look over the
territory and see for yourself just what our soil is doing?
A large majority of our farmers have nice bank accounts,
own beautiful homes and are enjoying prosperity. Why?
because. Brooks County soil properly cultivated always
guarantees successful crops.
On investigation one would find this county a net
work of rural telephone lines, twenty-two (22) R F. I),
mail deliveries, carrying the mail to the farmers in every
"nook and corner" of the county, graded public roads in
any direction one wishes to travel, and excllent public,
school system with Rural schools runnings from seven to
nine mouth.-, in tht year, with an appropriation from the
state of $20.000 lo $22,000 per annum. Our water is clear
cool and pure. The general health conditions, are none
better to be found in the state. Farm lands enhancing in
value everv day.
