Tnis picture shows the famous Culebra cut-as seen from the north. Onthe left is Gold Hill w.ith an ele vation of 532 feet ove sea level; on the right Contractor Hill, 404 feet above sea level. The French, when attempting to cono^ruct the canal, only cut down to 160 feet through the hills. Tthe present depth of the* cut is 30 feet above sea level. The width of the canal at this-point was planned for 300 feet, but in view ct tMe land-slides hereabout that are of frequent occurrence it may have to be made double the width just named. ' 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 cf Watermelons to the Eastern and Northern Markets each season at an approximate net income to the coumv-seat from $40.000 to $50,000. Besides this, Brooks County soil as a whole, is especially adapted for the production cf corn, oats, peanuts, peavine Siay, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, etc. If you are interested in high class farm lands why not come down tins 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.
