An abundant yield of corn is anticipated in Georgia the present season. Says the Atlanta Commercial: Corn in Southwestern Georgia is growing finely, and promises a large crop. There is not as much planted, however, as last year. The planters are willing to risk the chances of a cotton crop. Many of them are making arrangements to plant largely. If the negroes can be induced to remain on the farms, an abundance will be produced, not alone for home consumption, but for large exportations. This is encouraging when we take into consideration the manner in which that country has been ravaged and desolated during the late revolution.
