It was the pleasure of the
editor to visit the hospitable
country home of Mr. R. W.
Stoker, Sunday near Jelks.
Mr. Stoker who is one of Wood
ruff County’s oldest and best
citizens, is,as hale and hearty
as ever and states that he does
as much work as any man,
white or black, who lives on
a farm.
Mr. Stoker and his son, Jim,
have three acres planted in
Elberta peaches and are now
busy harvesting their second
crop which is estimated at
1,000 bushels. They will re
ceive $3.00 a bushel for the
crop at the orchard, making
their land produce a revenue
of $1,000. an acre. There are
539 trees.
Besides the peach crop
which is only a side line with
them, they have a good large
crop of cotton and other farm
products and it is and has
always been Mr. Stoker’s pol
icy to raise everything that
goes on his table if possible to
do so. He has a well cared
for garden one small portion
of which produced him $100.
00 in Irish potatoes. In his
garden will also be found
onions, cabbage, strawberries
and many other items. In his
smokehouse we were shown
some home-cured hams that
weigh around 40 pounds.
Mr. Stoker has been residing
on his farm continuously for
the past 33 years and has
there earned and enjoyed his
prosperity. He is well known
over the entire country and is
well liked by everyone.
