 GOVERNOR S STATEMENT. 
BY L. G. HARDMAN, GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA. 
It is with a great deal of pleasure that I contribute a message to the citizens of Georgia, present and prospective, through this Bulletin issued by Mr. Eugene Talmadge, Commissioner of Agriculture of Georgia. 
Georgia is a great state and its citizens have long kept it the "Empire State of the South," a slogan rightfully placed and honorably maintained. Enjoying many advantages, such as a temperate climate, productive soils, plenty of water, good health conditions and fine educational facilities, and with markets in every direction for its products, this State occupies a strategic position in the southeast section of the United States. 
In farming, manufacturing and mining, the State offers three opportunities that are unlimited in their scope and possibilities. The farmer who will till its soil can produce any crop grown in the United States, with livestock thriving at the same time on green pastures covering the uncultivated lands. 
Georgia's factories have an annual output valued at eight hundred million dollars, her resources along this line being practically untouched, and with enough electric power developed and undeveloped to turn all the wheels of the industries of the State. 
There are as many as thirty-four minerals found in Georgia mines, many of which are shipped to every state in the union and to foreign countries. These minerals vary from granite to gold, many of which rank in quality with any produced in America, such as Georgia marble and granite, which are used in many of the finest buildings throughout the country. 
Georgia offers mild winters, cool summers and temperate weather generally to those who would make this State their home, and who would engage in either farming, manufacturing or mining. 
 
 INTRODUCTION BY COMMISSIONER. 
Bv EUGENE TAUVIADGE, COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE 
OF GEORGIA. 
One of the duties of the Department of Agriculture of Georgia is to collect information and compile statistics concerning the agricultural products of the State, therefore, it is in compliance with that Act creating the Department in 1874 that this Bulletin is published. 
In issuing this Bulletin I have a two-fold purpose. It is intended, first, to renew and strengthen the faith of the citizens of Georgia in their State and to call their attention to the many advantages enjoyed by them in this commonwealth. Second, it is intended as a source of information as to the opportunities offered in this State to the person who would consider coming here to live. 
Possessing natural advantages hardly equaled by any state in the Union, Georgia offers unlimited possibilities in any line of endeavor any citizen might desire to engage in, whether it be on a farm or in a factory. Favored with a mild climate both winter and summer, and containing soils suited to the luxurious growth of any plant grown in America, Georgia presents unusual opportunities to those who -would farm, with markets already created for more farm products than are now being produced in the State. 
The Department of Agriculture is devoted to the promotion of Agriculture in the State, in giving desired information on any subject pertaining to the farm, and in aiding the farmers to sell their products, marketing being the key to the success of farming in Georgia today. All citizens and prospective citizens are invited to confer with this Department on any subject concerning farming in Georgia. Bulletins on a number of subjects relating to farming and its allied interests in the State are issued by the Department, which will be mailed upon request.

SKETCH OF GEORGIA. Georgia, known as the "Empire State of the South," was founded in 1733 by James Edward Oglethorpe, who landed an English colony of 116 persons at Yamacraw Bluff on the Savannah River on February 12. Eight days later work was begun upon the first house in the new city, which Oglethorpe laid out and named "Savannah." The settlement was called "Georgia" in honor of King George of England who granted the charter to Oglethorpe. The colony was soon strengthened by the arrival of other settlers who engaged in farming the rich soil adjacent to the Savannah River. Among the new arrivals were John and Charles Wesley, founders of Methodism, and later another celebrated minister, Rev. George Whitfield, came and founded an orphanage at Bethesda, said to be the first orphanage established in America. Oglethorpe permitted neither slavery nor the sale of rum in Georgia, but in 1743 the restrictions were removed and both were allowed in the colony. Oglethorpe made treaties with the Indians who inhabited the land and promoted farming as an industry among the settlers. The territory of the colony was gradually extended from the Savannah River on the east to as far west as the Mississippi River, and embraced all the territory that is now Alabama and Mississippi. In 1802 Georgia ceded to the United States all claims to the region between its present western boundary and the Mississippi River and also established the northern boundary line near the Thirty-Fifth parallel. Thus the boundaries of the State have been unchanged since 1802. Georgia joined the other colonies in America which resisted the mother country in 1776 and during the Revolutionary War furnished some of the powder used in the Battle of Bunker Hill. The signers of the Declaration of Independence for Georgia were Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall and George Walton. Georgia was one of the Original Thirteen States which united on July 4, 1776, and which formed the basis of the United States of America today. Georgia was invaded by the British army and almost the last battle fought during the Revolution was Wayne's victory over the British near Savannah on June 23, 1782, which was followed on July 11th by the evacuation of Savannah by the British army.

 Georgia has always taken an important part in all affairs affecting the welfare of the United States. In all Avars, including the Eevolution, the Indian, the War Between the States, the Spanish-American and the World War, this State furnished its full quota of soldiers and supplies. 
FOUNDED ON BENEVOLENCE. 
The State has been no less renowned in peace. Founded on benevolence, the motto of the founding colony being "Not for Ourselves, But for Others," nurtured in religion and education and having for its present motto, "Wisdom, Justice and Moderation"--wisdom in making laws, justice in their administration, tempered with moderation--the welfare of its citizens has always been the goal of the State. 
In literature, science and medicine Georgia has contributed a notable array of luminaries. The folk-lore stories of Joel Chandler Harris are printed in many languages, while the poems of Sidney Lanier and Frank L. Stanton have world-wide fame. Dr. Charles Herty and the LeConte brothers have contributed much to scientific research and Dr. Crawford Long in 1842 used ether in an operation on one of his patients, the first time ether had ever been used for that purpose, thus painless surgery with the use of this drug came into existence. 
In education this State points with pride to the fact that the University of Georgia was the first chartered (1785) state university in America, and that Wesleyan College, at Macon, in 1840, was the first college in the United States to grant a diploma to a woman. The State system of education is supplemented by a number of religious and private schools and colleges. 
Georgia is the largest State east of the Mississippi River and ranks twentieth in size with those in the United States. Its area, .59,265 square miles, is composed of 58,725 square miles of land surface and 540 miles of water. Its seacoast on an airline is more than 100 miles long. The greatest length of Georgia is 320 miles from north to south and is about 225 miles across at its widest point. It is bounded in part by three rivers--the Savannah on the east, the St. Marys on the south and the Chattahoochee on the west 
The surface of Georgia varies from sea level on the coast to an altitude of nearly 5,000 feet in the northern part. The State 
 
 is divided into three distinct sections. The northern area is mountainous, being traversed by the Blue Ridge chain of the Appalachian mountains. Middle Georgia, known as the Piedmont or foot-hills section, consists of broadly rolling upland surface, trenched by deep and narrow valleys and is traversed by a large number of water courses. The section lying south of a line drawn from Augusta, through Milledgeville and Macon to Columbus, and comprising about three-fifths of the whole State, although hilly in sections, especially in the northern part, is on the whole so gently rolling and level that it appears as a broad and even plain. The southern part of this section is called the Coastal Plain. 
MILD CLIMATE. 
Situated in the temperate zone and bordering on the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream, Georgia has a mild climate, the mean temperature of the State being 62 degrees, with an average temperature of 47 degrees in winter and 77 degrees in summer. 
The climate is hardly excelled by any state in the Union. There are no heat prostrations in summer nor deaths from freezing in winter. The summers are warm but not extremely hot, while the winter period is usually mild, the coldest weather being confined to three months, December, January and February. 
The average rainfall in the State is 51 inches during the year and the growing season runs from 260 days in South Georgia to 230 days in North Georgia. 
Georgia's climate is so mild that all farming, industrial and mining activities continue throughout the year without interruption from either hot or cold weather. Livestock, poultry and farm animals are enabled to graze the year around on all-year pastures. 
Georgia could truly be called the "Sunshine State." 
POPULATION. 
The population of Georgia in 1920, according to the United States Census, was 2,895,832, being the twelfth state in popula-. tion in the United States. The rural population consisted of 2,167,841 people. 
The native-white population totaled 1,642,697, while 30,231 were of foreign or mixed parentage and only 16,186 were of for- 
 
   eign birth. Thus it will be noted that Georgia is populated almost wholly by native-born citizens, the farm population being practically 100 per cent native-born. 
According to an estaimate made by the Bureau of the Census the population of Georgia in 1928 is 3,203,000, an increase over 1920 of 307,168, the State moving up to eleventh place in population in the United States. 
The 1920 Census further showed that of the 37,584,000 acres of land in Georgia, 25,441,000 acres were in farms, the remaining 11,500,000 acres being in woodland, cities and "wild" lands. There were 310,732 farms in the State on which 1,685,213 people lived, 33.4 per cent of the farms being operated by owners, while 66.6 per cent were operated by tenants. 
It is estimated that approximately 10,000,000 acres of land are cultivated in Georgia each year. 
Georgia farm property in 1920, according to the Census Bureau, was valued at $1,356,685,196.00, being divided as follows: Land and buildings, $1,138,298,627.00; implements and machinery, $63,343,220.00; livestock, $155,043,349.00. 
The value of farm products in Georgia in 1927 is set at $335,000,000.00. Cotton and the seed, valued at $125,000,000.00. by far exeeded any other crop grown in the State, but the plan of diversification followed in recent years is bringing other crops to the forefront with the Georgia farmer. Among these is tobacco, which within a few years has forged ahead of many other products and is now second in value of the State's commercial farm crops. 
Other crops grown extensively in the State include peaches, peanuts, corn, oats, sweet potatoes, watermelons, apples, pecans, and sugar cane. Livestock, poultry raising and dairying are also engaged in on an extensive scale in Georgia. 
While farming is the principal occupation in Georgia, manufacturing and mining also are leading industries. Products valued at approximtely eight hundred million dollars are manufactured in the State each year, while the mineral production is estimated to be worth $20,000,000.00. The total value of Georgia products each years is more than one billion dollars. 
 
 HK 
WHERE GEORGIA LEADS. 
Georgia grows twice as many watermelons as any other State in the Union, ships more peaches and paper shell pecans than any other State, and leads the Nation in the production of sweet potatoes. More pure cane syrup is made in Georgia than in any other State and Cairo, in Grady county, is the largest pure cane syrup market in the world. 
Many Georgia products have nation-wide fame. The Elberta^ the most famous peach in the world, was propagated in Georgia, as were other popular varieties shipped. The nation awaits the appearance each season of Georgia watermelons, while the Georgia yam and Georgia cane syrup are served on many tables, throughout the nation. The paper shell pecan was developed in Georgia and exceeds in flavor and richness any nut grown in the south. 
Georgia produces more than half the yellow ocher and two thirds of the barytes mined in the United States, while this State leads the south in the production of manganese ore and clay products mined and sold. In marble production, Georgia leads all States except Vermont and leads the south in the output of granite. Georgia is only exceeded by Florida in the production of Fullers Earth. With 34 varieties, Georgia leads all the southern states in the number of minerals. 
Georgia leads the nation in Naval Stores and Savannah is the leading export city in the world of turpentine and rosin. 
More than 65 per cent of the fabric used in automobile tires. is manufactured in Georgia. In 1927, Georgia with 31 per cent,, led all states in the Union in new textile spindles placed and out of 69 cotton mills moving to the south in three years, 17 came to Georgia, more than were located in any other one State. Of 12,832 looms added in the south in 1927, Georgia with 4,047" showed the greatest gain of any State. Georgia is the fourth State in the Union in textile spindles in operation, being exceeded only by Massachusetts, North Carolina and South Carolina, Georgia has 3,061,000 spindles. 
Tests show that bright leaf tobacco grown in Georgia is superior in quality to that grown in any other State for the manufacture of cigarettes. 
Georgia with 7,049 miles, leads all states in the south except Texas in railroad mileage.

 WHAT GEORGIA OFFERS 
Few states in the Union are gaining population more rapidly than Georgia, especially the cities, and this increase naturally calls for the production of more food. 
Georgia, it appears, produces watermelons, peaches, pecans, sweet potatoes greatly in excess of the local demand, yet millions of dollars worth of many other products that could be raised in the State are shipped into Georgia each year. 
During 1927 there were 4,640 car loads of farm products, the kind grown in Georgia, shipped into Atlanta alone, of which Georgia furnished only 1,074 cars, which means that 3,566 carloads that might as well have been sold by Georgia farmers came from without the State. 
A notable example for Georgia farmers is shown in Irish potatoes. Of 906 carloads shipped into Atlanta, only 36 were grown in Georgia, which indicates there was a market in Atlanta alone last year for Georgia farmers to sell 870 cars of Irish potatoes. Other examples in the Atlanta shipments include, apples, from Georgia 129 cars, from outside 436 cars; cabbage, Georgia 16 cars, from outside 382 cars; celery, Georgia 0, from outside 183 cars; lettuce, Georgia 0, from outside 272 cars; onions, Georgia 0, from outside 238 cars; rutabagas, Georgia 0, from outside 86 cars; tomatoes, Georgia 2 cars, from outside 246. 
While many of the products received in Atlanta were distributed to the surrounding territory for consumption, a proportionate number of shipments were also made from without Georgia to other cities in the State during the year. 
In addition to the home markets, there are approximately fifty million people within a radius of 1,000 miles of Georgia who buy much of their food from other states and Georgia should furnish a large percentage of these products. New York City alone consumes three billion pounds of vegetables, fruit, butter and meats and one billion quarts of milk and one hundred and fifty million dozen eggs annually, and this city is within 24 hours'' ride from Georgia, with rapid transportation facilities from here there. 
With excellent ports on the Georgia coast and with adequate shipping facilities, there are also great possibilities in Cuba and South America for Georgia products if markets there are developed. Many Georgia hogs are being sold in Cuba.

 TRIBUTES TO THE FARMER. 
BY THOMAS E. WATSON. 
Farmers won the nation's independence when there were vast areas of wilderness to be cleared, with slow, arduous work of the axe and the ox, he cleared them. When there were potential marshes to be drained, he drained them. When there were deserts to be reclaimed he watered them until they were made to bloom as the rose. When there were savages to be driven back, it was the crack of his rifle that heralded the advance of the banners of civilization. When national independence was to be won by the struggling colonies, it was the armies of the farmers, led by a farmer, that met Great Britain in the shock of arms. 
At the dark crisis of the revolution in the north, when the treason of Benedict Arnold threatened the whole American cause, it was three farmers who saved the day. To his captors, the Hritish spy, "Major Andre, a scion of the aristocracy of Great Britain, in an agony of fear, made every tempting offer--his magnificent gold watch, his well-filled purse, the promise of riches to each of the poor farmers who were his captors--to secure his freedom. To his offers the reply was as prompt and simple as it was sub'ime, "We are poor men, but the King of England has not money enough to buy us." 
At the crisis of our affairs in the south, during the same revolution, the day was saved by southern farmers. Furnishing their own guns and ammunition, their own horses and provisions, the farmers of Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia and the Carolinas sprang into their saddles and gave of their own initiative chase to the left wing of the army of Oornwallis. which was ravaging the country with fire and sword, surrounded it, fought to a finish, annihilated it and thus turned the tide of the war, making one success the stepping stone to another, until the consummation of British destruction and the American triumph at Yorktown. 
Let the farmer forevermore be honored in his calling, 
for they who labor in the earth are the chosen people of God.--Thomas Jefferson.

 AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. 
EUGENE TALMADGE, COMMISSIONER. 
Realizing the necessity for an organized agency to aid in the promotion of agriculture in the State, the Georgia Legislature in 1874 created the Georgia Department of Agriculture, Dr. Thomas P. Janes, being the first commissioner. Since its creation the department has been an important factor not only in supplying information concerning Georgia as a farming land, but also in the promotion of agriculture in the State. 
The Commissioner of Agriculture, the executive officer of the department, who is elected by the voters of the State for a term of two years, must be a practical farmer. 
The following sub-divisions which are under the supervision of the commissioner, are a part of the Agricultural Department: Bureau of Markets; Apple, Peach and Fertilizer Inspection; Food and Drug Department; Veterinary Department; State Chemical Department and Statistician. 
The Commissioner of Agriculture is also by virtue of his office, chairman of the Board of Entomology, Commissioner of Immigration, Board of Directors of the Georgia Experiment Station at Experiment, and is a member of the Board of Trustees of the State College of Agriculture, at Athens, Board of Trustees of the Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station, at Tifton and State Board of Geology. 
The Executive office of the Agricultural Department is under the direction of the commissioner, who supervises the entire department, correlating the activities of the various branches and outlining the policies to be carried out. The sale of revenue stamps and fertilizer tax tags is handled by the Executive office. T. M. Linder is Chief Clerk in the executive office. 
Information concerning agriculture in the State, geological formation of various counties, adaptation of soils for the various products that may be grown in the State, together with information on other subjects of interest to those who till the soil, are compiled by the Agricultural Department for general distribution. Bulletins on special subjects, such as Food and Drug Inspection, Fertilizer Laws and Inspection, etc., are issued monthly and quarterly by the various departments. 
15 
 
 mmmm 
FERTILIZER INSPECTION. 
Inspection of fertilizer sold for use on Georgia farms is under the supervision of the Commissioner of Agriculture and is carried on by the Chief Fertilizer Inspector and six full-time Assistant Inspectors, located in different sections of the State, together with a number of short-term Inspectors who are employed for four months only, during the busy season when the fertilizer is bought by the farmers. 
It is the duty of these Inspectors to draw samples of commercial fertilizer from the original containers after they have reached the hands of the farmers, sealing the samples in bottles under their official seal and forwarding them to the Commissioner of Agriculture with their reports thereon. The samples are turned over to the State Chemist, Dr. W. A. Morgan, for analysis. 
In the analysis of fertilizer, the available phosphoric acid, total nitrogen, water soluble nitrogen and potash are determined as a check on the guaranteed commercial value. The availability of the nitrogen is also determined. 
Every sack of fertilizer sold in Georgia must bear a tax tagauthorized by the Department of Agriculture and in order that the farmers may become familiar with the ingredients of the fertilizer used by them, the department issues a Bulletin which shows the commercial values of the various brands of fertilizer sold in Georgia. 
Georgia is the second largest user of commercial fertilizers in the United States, only being exceeded by North Carolina. Approximately 800,000 tons, costing $16,500,000.00 were used in Georgia in 1926. The use of commercial fertilizer can be cut down in Georgia by the improvement of the soil through rotation of crops and by planting soil-building legume plants. In this way livestock thrive on the legume plants and the farmer, while building up his soil at the same time is cashing in on the transaction through the sale of cattle, dairy products and hogs. 
PEACH AND APPLE INSPECTION. 
The inspection of apples and peaches in Georgia under a law passed by the Legislature in 1927, is under the direction of the Department of Agriculture. The law provides that any one who offers for sale or sells a covered package of apples and peaches in 
16 
 
 Georgia is required to label the package and have plainly marked on the container the grade and standard. The grades and standards have to be promulgated by the Commissioner of Agriculture, the Act specifies. 
The law also provides that a one-half cent tax stamp shall be attached to each package, this stamp, which is furnished by the Department of Agriculture, is to pay for the inspection of the fruit and for the enforcement of the law by the department. 
The 1927 apple crop in Georgia was standardized and marketed under the provisions of the law, growers reporting that they were aided by the law being put into force, a standard pack enabling them to better market the apples and to get higher prices for them because they were graded. 
Standards for peaches which will be put into effect with the sale of the 1928 crop include the United States standards which are, U. S. Fancy, U. S. Number Ones; Number Twos. Peaches not coming within one of these three grades are to be handled as "unclassified". 
BULLETINS. 
The following bulletins have been issued by the Georgia Department of Agriculture, copies of which will be mailed upon request: Market Bulletin, published weekly; Food, Drugs and Feed Stuffs, issued monthly; Laws relating to Adulteration and misbranding of Foods, Drugs and Feed Stuffs, Narcotic and Poison laws and Sanitary laws and other information on Georgia Food standards; Laws, rules and regulations governing the manufacture, sale and inspection of fertilizer, fertilizer materials and cotton seed meal in Georgia; commercial fertilizers inspected and analyzed during the season of 1927; Georgia and her resources, illustrated. 
STATISTICIAN. 
The Statistician of the Department of Agriculture works in conjunction with the United States Department of Agriculture and the State College of Agriculture in compiling statistics of the various farm products in Georgia. The statistical information concerning Georgia contained in Part Two of this Bulletin was compiled by the Statistician, Marcus P. McWhorter.

 BUREAU OF MARKETS. 
The Bureau of Markets of the Department of Agriculture was created by the Legislature in 1917 "for the purpose of promoting proper, sufficient and economical handling, packing, transporting, storage, distribution, inspection and sale of agricultural products of all kinds" within the State and also to assist producers and consumers of farm products in selling and purchasing same under fair conditions and at fair and reasonable prices. 
The Director of tke Bureau of Markets, Arthur D. Jones, appointed by the Commissioner of Agriculture, employs experts in marketing who assist the farmers in selling their products and who also conduct sales of livestock and other products throughout the State, usually in co-operation with the County Farm Agent. 
Market conditions throughout the country are closely studied in order to secure the best prices at all times, thereby increasing the benefits of this department to the farmer. 
The value of the Market Bureau is seen from the report of its activities from July 1, 1927, through March, 1928, nine months under the present administration, during which time 1,174}4 car loads of products were sold for Georgia farmers for $1,030,738.34. Hogs led the sales with 328 cars, corn was second with 272 cars, while potatoes with 242 cars was third. Other products in the car-lot sales included poultry, wheat, melons, hay, oats, velvet beans, peas, shucks, cattle, sugar cane, peanuts, wheat, rye, syrup, pecans, eggs, goats, cotton seed and soy beans. 
These sales were made by employees of the Market Bureau by correspondence, telegraph, telephone and by field men who conducted sales throughout the State. The sales do not include those made through ads appearing in the Market Bulletin each week, of which no report is made to the Bureau. It is estimated that the sales of farm products perfected through the ads in the Bulletin exceed those made by the office force. 
The sale of more than eleven hundred car loads of farm products in Georgia in a period of nine months is the direct result of the plan of diversified farming now followed in the State and of the activity of the Market Bureau in aiding the farmers in finding a market for their produce and in getting the highest possible price for same.

 MARKET BULLETIN. 
The Market Bulletin is a weekly publication issued by the Bureau of Markets and sent free to the farmers of the State and is devoted to the interest of selling and buying farm products. Approximately 1,600 "For Sale" and "Wanted" ads from farmers are printed free in the Bulletin each week. The Bulletin, which contains from eight to 16 pages, has a circulation of 60,000 copies each week. 
The Bulletin also prints the current market prices for all farm products in the principal markets therefor within the State and elsewhere. Available supplies and demands for various products at the markets are also given, thus each subscriber to the Bulletin can ascertain each week the current price of practically all farm products which he may have for sale or which he may want to buy. 
The most urgent need to enable the profitable marketing of vegetables, truck crops, fruits and other farm produce is cooperation of the farmers in preparing and shipping the products in merchantable condition and in standardized quality and containers. The Bureau of Markets is authorized to formulate and announce proper and fair standards, grades and classes of agricultural products of all kinds placed on sale and standards adopted for packing eggs, apples and peaches have already been put into effect in Georgia. 
RATE DEPARTMENT. 
When the Bureau of Markets of the Department of Agriculture was created by the Legislature in 1917 the Act provided that freight rates, express charges and other transportation matters be investigated by the Bureau, and in compliance with this law, a Traffic Manager, B. B. Cheek, has recently been named to represent the farmers in these matters. 
The Traffic Department has a complete freight rate file and furnishes rates in connection with the sale of agricultural products, which enables the Bureau to determine instantly the cost of transportation from one point to another. 
Complaints of farmers on rates charged are investigated and in many instances overcharges are collected. Information is 
19 
 
 also furnished on rates on different products sold or bought by the farmers. 
Constant study of the freight rate situation is made and when charges on farm products are considered high or unreasonable, reductions are sought with the Railroad Commissions, both state and national, and with the railroads affected. 
FOOD AND DRUG DIVISION. 
The Pure Food and Drug Division of the Department of Agriculture is charged with the sanitary inspection of all places preparing, serving or offering for sale to the public food or drinks, also the inspection of the food and drinks served. It is also the duty of this department to inspect all commercial feed-stuffs and all oyster beds or the water where these beds are located along the Georgia coast. 
Food Inspectors are required to take samples of all foods and drinks and commercial feedstuffs that are manufactured or offered for sale within the State, sending same to the State Chemist who analyzes them and reports thereon. J. C. Thrasher is Chief food inspector. 
The Inspectors of the Drug Department are charged with the duty of seeing that all United States Pharmacopoeia or National Formulary preparations offered for sale in the State are up to the standard, taking samples of same which are analyzed by the State Chemist. 
It is also the duty of the Drug Department to see that every drug store advertising as such, has a registered druggist of the State of Georgia in charge; to see that merchants selling family medicines do not dispense from broken packages of the same, nor sell poisons such as are restricted by law; to detect and correct any misbranding of family medicines and to supervise the manufacture and sale of drugs, chemicals and family medicines offered for sale in the State. Dr. A. M Stead is Chief drug inspector. 
The State Chemical Laboratory also analyzes the various classes of materials to enable the enforcement of the laws regulating their sale. All official samples procured by duly authorized Inspectors are sent to the State Chemist under seal. 
In feedstuffs, the protein, fat and fiber are determined. , Feeds are also examined to detect adulteration.

VETERINARY DEPARTMENT. 
The Veterinary Division of the Department of Agriculture has charge of combating the animal and poultry diseases in the State the work being under the supervision of the State Veterinarian, Dr. J. M. Sutton. 
An important work of the Veterinary Department for the last few years has been the eradication of the cattle tick and the prevention of re-infestation in Georgia counties. As the result of the diligent work of the department, the cattle tick has been entirely stamped out in Georgia, with the exception of a few reinfestations in some counties. Every county, as a whole, in the State is free of quarantine laws, only local re-infestation cases being quarantined. 
Elimination of the cattle tick marks an important step in Georgia as this pest has been a serious draw-back to cattle raising and dairying ever since the State was founded more than 100 years ago. Georgia now offers a field practically clear of cattle ticks to those farmers who would raise beef or dairy cattle for sale, or who would engage in dairying. 
This department also has charge of the work of stamping out tuberculosis and other diseases in cattle in the State, quarantines being established when necessary to prevent infested cattle from being brought into the State. The work of stamping out tuberculosis in Georgia cattle is also making rapid progress. 
The Veterinary Department has charge of the inspection of meats, poultry and hogs offered for sale within the State. Hog cholera is being eliminated from Georgia farms by the vigilance of the Veterinary Department in treating promptly al cases reported to it. 
The State Dairy Inspector works under direction of the Veterinary Department. It is his duty to see that all dairies producing 
21 
 
 milk for public consumption are kept and operated in a sanitary manner. 
Testing poultry for disease germs is an important work, with the Veterinary Department, especially since that industry is growing so rapidly in the State. 
DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY. 
The Department of Entomology is composed of a board of three members of which the Commissioner of Agriculture is chairman. It is the duty of this department to handle all cases of plant disease and insect pests, also to inspect potato plants and nursery stock offered for sale and to establish, when it is deemed necessary, quarantines to prevent infected plants and insect pests from being brought into the State. Dr. E. Lee Worsham is State Entomologist. 
Combating boll weevils, fleas, boll worms and all other pests and diseases that affect cotton is under the direction of the Entomology Department. 
This department also handles all diseases and pests affecting the fruit and nut trees in the State and inasmuch as Georgia has a large number of peach, apple and pecan orchards, the work of the department is most important. 
The State Entomologist, who must have had training and experience in entomology and plant pathology and be familiar with the various diseases affecting plant life in the State, is elected by the members of the Entomology Board. 
EXPERIMENT STATIONS. 
Two experiment stations are operated in Georgia, the Georgia Experiment Station at Experiment, Ga., near Griffin, and the Coastal Plain Station located at Tifton. 
The station at Experiment renders valuable service in testing various seeds and in doing general experimental work in plant life that is of interest to the farmers of the State. The work at this station will be greatly facilitated with the completion of a new building there that is now in course of construction. This building was authorized by the 1927 Legislature which appropriated $35,000.00 for its erection. It will contain modern lab- 
22 
 
 oratories and other equipment needed in the futherance of research work at the station. 
Dr. H. P. Stuckey is director of the station and the Commissioner of Agriculture is chairman of the Board of Directors. 
The Coastal Plain Experiment Station was created by the Legislature in 1918 and is located at Tifton. It was established for the Coastal Plain Region of the State for the purpose of making scientific investigation and experiments respecting agricultural subjects, and more particularly as they may be affected by soil and climatic conditions in South Georgia. 
Tests are conducted and experiments made as regards seeds, soil, plants and fertilizers. Tests made in connection with growing tobacco is an important work at this station since this crop has made such rapid gains in that section. 
Dr. S. H. Starr is Director of the Station and the Commissioner of Agriculture is a member of the Board of Trustees. 
A laboratory for the study of peaches is maintained at Fort Valley and study and control of apple diseases is directed at Cornelia. 
IMMIGRATION BUREAU. 
The Commissioner of Agriculture is also ex-officio Commissioner of Immigration and as such he is charged with collecting and distributing such information concerning the State as will be informative to home-seekers, investors and the general public. 
Therefore, much information is furnished by the Department of Agriculture to parties desiring facts concerning Georgia and who are considering making this State their home. 
HOMESEEKERS' RATES. 
Homeseekers desiring to come to Georgia and see for themselves the wonderful advantages offered in this State may take advantage of special Homeseekers' rates offered by many railroads in the United States. Parties of five or more traveling together may obtain passenger rates for one fare plus $2.00. 
These rates are in effect, usually from April through November, and are limited to about 20 days from date of sale. Local railroad offices can give full particulars as to these rates.

COTTON. 
Cotton, truly called the wonder plant of the south, is the leading money crop in Georgia, there being 3,412,000 acres planted in 1927, the yield therefrom being 1,099,000 bales. The value of the lint and seed from the 1927 crop is placed at $125,000,000.00 which equals the amount received for all the other crops grown in the State combined. 
Georgia was the fourth State in cotton production in 1927, being exceeded by Texas, Mississippi and Alabama. 
Cotton and its products are valued annually in Georgia at almost a half billion dollars. Farmers grow one million bales which sell for $100,000,000.00. and 203 textile mills employing 65,000 persons use raw material worth $100,000,000.00 and turn out products valued at $247,897,961.00. Then 50 plants with 3,881 employees make the cloth into garments and other articles valued at $18,710,336.00. 
The cotton seed which are sold for $18,710,336.00 are turned into meal, oil and hulls by 122 mills, employing 2,486 people, the products being valued at $42,080,463.00. In addition, there are 26 compresses in the State that have 1,025 employees. 
Cotton has been the leading farm crop in value in Georgia since the invention of the cotton gin in Georgia in 1793 by Eli Whitney and since the introduction of commercial fertilizers in the State. Being the natural home of cotton, its cultivation was started by the early settlers of Georgia. 
Cotton not only furnishes a fiber that is used largely in clothing the human race and many other purposes, but its seed also contain products that are important in the feed of both humans and animals. Cotton seed oil is used extensively in cooking while the meal and hulls form an important food for animals, especially cows. 
In 1866, immediately following the War between the States, Georgia grew 205,000 bales of cotton and in 1880, a million bales were grown for the first time in the State's history. The production has ranged around one million bales annually until 1911, when 2,768,000 bales were ginned, which was the largest crop ever grown in the State. Production in 1921-2-3 fell below the million mark, due to the invasion of boll weevils, the low mark

 being 588,000 bales in 1923, the smallest crop of cotton grown in the State since 1878 when 558,000 bales were ginned. 
After combating the weevils for three years an intensive system of cultivation of cotton was instituted in the State, and as a result, the production since 1924 has been more than one million bales annually. Diversified farming has also cut the crop some, the farmers turning to other crops. 
The average yield of lint cotton in 1927 on Georgia farms was 154 pounds per acre, but the yield on improved land will average more than one half bale to the acre, an average bale being 500 pounds. Luther S. Strickland, of Royston, Franklin County, winner of the highest prize in the 1927 Five-acre contest in the State, grew 6,438 pounds of lint on five acres, an average of 1,287 pounds or more than two bales per acre. 
The high production of cotton on Georgia land is obvious when it is pointed out that 131 farmers who competed in 71 counties in the Five-Acre contest conducted by the State College of Agriculture, grew an average of 535 pounds of lint, or more than a bale per acre, at an average profit of $76.70 per acre. The average cost was given at 8 1-3 cents per pound. 
Production of a fine grade of cotton in Georgia is being aided by the use of improved seed, which produce a long staple lint, so much desired by textile mills. 
AGRICULTURAL FAIRS. 
A number of fairs are held in Georgia every fall when quite an assortment of farm products, livestock and poultry are displayed. Fairs of a statewide nature are held at Atlanta, Macon and Savannah and in addition thereto, there are many district and county expositions held throughout the State. 
Attractive premium lists draw large displays which show the varied resources of the State. 
SMALL DEBT. 
The W. & A. railroad which extends from Atlanta to Chattanooga is owned by Georgia the annual income from which totals $540,000.00. It is valued at $25,000,000.00 nearly five times as much as the bonded indebtedness of the State, which is $4,983, 000.00. Georgia has the smallest bonded indebtedness of any State in the Union.

TOBACCO. 
Tobacco is known as the "Miracle plant" in Georgia, because of the rapid strides this crop has made in the State within the past few years. Beginning with a production in 1917 of 350,000 pounds which sold for $80,000.00, the acreage has been increased each year since until 59,088,000 pounds were grown in 1927 on 81,000 acres which sold for $11,463,000.00. This plant is next to cotton in money value in farm products of the State, having climbed to second place in 1927. 
Tobacco has been grown in Georgia since the State was first settled, but not on a commercial scale until recent years. About 2,000 acres have been planted in Decatur County for several years, it being the cigar filler and Sumatra wrapper type, better known as "shade" tobacco. 
Bright leaf tobacco, largely used in cigarette manufacture, was planted in the State more or less as an experiment since 1911, the first warehouse being built in 1914. With the advent of the boll weevil into the State a number of farmers in South Georgia counties turned to tobacco as a substitute crop for cotton and it was intended to be a part of the diversified plan of farming then being fostered in the State. 
The success of the plant was instantaneous and more and more farmers planted the weed each year, a large number of warehouses being erected at a number of cities in the 60 counties growing tobacco. The production of tobacco in large quantities has been confined to South Georgia, yet counties in the Athens territory and north of Atlanta have also grown the plant in salable quantities. 
Bright leaf tobacco grown in Georgia is of superior quality in manufacturing high grade cigarettes and for fine smoking tobacco, tests of the grades produced in this State show. 
The fields are set in the spring from plants grown on beds, which is followed by rapid and intensive cultivation. The tobacco ripens in early summer, is cut and cured and the sale season opens in Georgia around August 1 and continues for about 60 days. It is a cash crop, is disposed of as soon as cured, as the Georgia crop matures earlier than in the other states growing like tobacco, and planting of this weed offers attractive opportunities to many farmers who are following the diversified plan of farming.

 PEACHES. 
Georgia peaches are famed throughout America and England for their lusciousness and this State leads the South in the production of this juicy fruit. There are approximately 12,000,000 trees in the Georgia orchards which produced 12,015 cars in 1927 which sold for $8,023,000.00. This fruit is shipped from Georgia to practically every state in the Union, to Canada, Cuba and car lot shipments are also made to England. 
Georgia has more peach trees than any other southern state and grows one-third of all the peaches sold in the United States each year. Peach County, named in honor of the peach, is called the peach center of the world, more cars being shipped from Fort Valley than any other point in the State. 
Georgia farmers are pioneers in peach growing, the most important varieties are the ones that were propagated in this State. The Elberta, famed the world over for its beauty and flavor, was propagated by Samuel Rumph at Marshallville, in Macon County. This popular variety was followed by the propagation of the Georgia Belle by Lewis H. Rumph, also of Marshallville. Later the Hiley Belle was produced by the Hiley family of which Eugene W. Hiley, of Fort Valley, was the leader. 
Other varieties sorxe of which were propagated in Georgia, which are grown in Georgia in large quantities include the Carmen, Early Rose, Uneeda, Hale, Mayflower, Red Bird, Alton and Brackett. 
The peach orchards of middle Georgia cover a vast area and there are also large commercial orchards in northeast and northwest Georgia. The early varieties ripen in May and after they are shipped, the heavy season comes in June and July. The Elbertas are among the last to ripen and move to market. 
The ripe peaches are gathered in baskets and carried to a packing shed where they are graded according to standards and packed into boxes and baskets. The baskets are packed in bulk, while the boxes contain six small baskets. They are then loaded into refrigerator cars and are rushed to market for sale. New York is the largest consumer of Georgia peaches, more than 4,000 cars being eaten in that city each year. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Massachusetts and Illinois each consume more than 1,000 cars annually.

 PECANS. 
The paper shell pecan is a nut that was developed largely in Georgia and which has become famous, not only in America, but also in foreign lands. The pecan was just an ordinary nut growing wild in the river swamps and on farms of the South until the seedling was developed into the paper shell variety. The first commercial orchards were planted less than 30 years ago. 
While a majority of the counties of the State contain some pecan trees, the commercial orchards are confined almost exclusively to south Georgia, Albany being known as the "Pecan center of the World." In the Albany area and in other sections of the State, much land is given over entirely to pecan growing, while in other sections of the State there are small groves and scattering trees. 
Approximately 100,000 acres in Georgia are set in pecans, the yield of which in 1927 was 3,094,000 pounds of nuts, valued at $1,000,000.00. 
Pecan culture has become quite a science with Georgia growers and it is recognized as one of the most valuable nuts grown in America. Pecans are not only eaten in their natural state as a food, but large quantities are used in the manufacture of confections. 
The pecan trees are propagated by nurseries and the small trees costing from 75 cents to $2.00 each are transplanted, about 20 to the acre and are thinned out as they grow older and cover the ground too thickly. Trees begin to bear from five years and up, depending upon the variety and they usually come into full bearing when from 20 to 30 years old. While the young trees are growing, the land may be planted in other crops, there being no loss of the land while the trees are growing large enough to bear nuts. 
The yield from a well-cared for pecan orchard is from 500 pounds and up per acre which sell for from 20 cents to 60 cents per pound. The nuts are gathered in the fall, graded and shipped to all parts of the United States for sale. The crop for the most part is marketed co-operatively. 
A small pecan grove not only furnishes the grower with a delectable nut, but also often furnishes him a surplus income, as single trees have been known to bear $100.00 worth of nuts in a single year.

 PEANUTS. 
Peanuts are grown in the Southern States only, Georgia leading all states in acreage planted. In 1927 a total of 304,000 acres was planted in Georgia, the yield being approximately 80,000 tons, valued at $8,596,000. North Carolina, Virginia and Alabama also grow many peanuts. 
Peanuts, which have been planted in Georgia since the days of colonization, yield a three-fold crop--the peanuts for commercial purposes and for livestock and the vines for hay. For a long number of years peanuts were planted on Georgia farms as a part of the crop program and when matured, the hogs were turned into the fields and allowed to graze upon them, only a few bushels for home eating being harvested. 
With the discovery of the many products that may be obtained from the peanut, such as oil, butter and meal, the growth of this crop has been greatly increased in the State. The use of peanuts in confections has also made great gains within the last few years and roasted peanuts are being eaten in large quantities. As the farmers have engaged more extensively in hog and cattle raising, peanuts have been planted more heavily each year because of their value for grazing and for hay. 
It is estimated that every three acres of peanuts will yield one ton of hay, valued at $25.00 per ton. Tests show that two pounds of peanuts will produce a pound of pork when hogs are allowed to run in peanut fields. Many farmers let their hogs fatten on peanuts and then "finish" them off by feeding them corn and other feeds before they are sold or slaughtered. 
Peanuts for commercial purposes are grown principally in middle and south Georgia, there being a number of warehouses in those sections in which they may be stored. They are planted in March and April and require light cultivation. They are harvested in the fall and are usually stacked in the field or housed until thoroughly dry and ready for market. Peanuts usually sell for from $75.00 to $100.00 per ton. 
Peanut growing offers attractive opportunities to farmers because the whole plant may be utilized and because of the growing demand for this nut.

 SWEET POTATOES. 
Georgia leads every state in the union in the production of sweet potatoes. This State grows around nine million bushels yearly on approximately 100,000 acres of land, the crop in 1927 being valued at $7,920,000.00. 
Sweet potatoes are grown on practically every farm in the state for home use, but the acreage planted for commercial purposes is mostly in middle and south Georgia where a number of curing houses have been built. Large quantities of potatoes are kiln dried, which rids them of surplus moisture whereby they may be kept indefinitely and shipped to distant points. 
Sweet potatoes do not require a rich soil and are not expensive to grow. They are grown from "slips" transplanted in the spring. Harvest season starts in June and continues until fall. 
The Georgia yam has long been an important item of food with Georgia farmers. They may be baked whole, sliced and fried, made into pie or candied. They may be served in some form at every meal of the day. 
The sale of sweet potato plants or "slips" is quite an industry in south Georgia. 
IRISH POTATOES. 
Irish or white potatoes are grown on practically all farms in Georgia for spring harvest and principally for home use, small plats usually being planted in the garden. A total of 17,000 acres with a yield of 1,241,000 bushels valued at $2,048,000.00, was planted in 1927. 
There are only about 2,500 acres planted each year in Georgia for commercial purposes, the yield being 200,000 bushels. The State offers unlimited possibilities for the growing of Irish potatoes for market as hundreds of cars shipped into Georgia each year for consumption are grown outside the State. 
Few fall potatoes are grown and no plan is followed whereby the spring crop is stored, therefore the marketing season only continues during a few months in the spring and early summer. 
The United States is divided into nine zones of climate and Georgia has eight of them.

 WATERMELONS. 
Among the products made famous by Georgia growers, none stands out more prominently than the Georgia watermelon, this State leading all others in the Union in growing this juicy melon. Beginning in June and continuing through the summer, the famous Georgia melons may be found for sale at groceries throughout the United State. 
The melon is grown in all sections of the State but the acreage devoted to commercial purposes is in middle and south Georgia. In 1927 more than 16,000 cars were shipped from this State, the income therefrom being $2,829,000.00. 
Melons are easily grown, thriving on a light loamy soil. They grow rapidly without much cultivation and are picked as they ripen and are loaded into railroad cars and are rushed to the markets over the United States. The opening of the watermelon season has become quite an event throughout the United States^ the arrival on the markets of this juicy melon being hailed with delight by all races. 
The melon fields are usually sown in peas and after the melons, have been removed, a luxurious crop of peavine hay is grown and harvested. 
CANTALOUPES. 
While only about 100 cars of cantaloupes are shipped from Georgia each year, the growing of this melon offers an attractive future to the farmers of the State. The acreage now is almost confined wholly to small patches planted for home consumption, while thousands of crates of cantaloupes are being shipped into> the State from the West. 
The soil of Georgia is well suited to the growth of cantaloupes. Fewer than 1,000 acres are planted for a commercial crop in the State each year, which produce approximately 75,000 crates,, which by far fails to supply the home consumption. 
This is just one instance of the opportunities offered in Georgia to farmers who who would supply the local demand for products. 
Carroll grows more cotton than any other county in the State.. In 1927 the five leading counties were, Carroll, 36,086 bales; Burke, 28,160; Laurens, 25,269; Walton, 23,134; Jackson 22,582.

 APPLES 
The apple crop is fast taking high rank among the leading commercial crops of the State, there being approximately 2,000,000 apple trees in Georgia, the commercial orchards containing about 1,000,000 trees. 
Apples have long been included in the home orchard of the Georgia farmer, but not until about 20 years ago did the State begin to grow this fruit in commercial quantities. 
The large orchards are in the counties of northeast and northwest Georgia, Habersham and Rabun counties leading in the number of commercial trees. The crop in 1927 was approximately 1,000,000 bushels, about 600,000 bushels of which were marketed for $1,012,000.00. 
The apple is said to be the "King of fruits," having the largest consumption of any fruit in the world and the varieties grown in Georgia are taking their rightful place as being among the most choice grown in America. 
The lands of north Georgia not so well suited to other crops, the mountain foot-hills, are particularly suited to apple growing and an investment in an orchard in that section stands to bring in fine returns. 
About 80 per cent of the apples sold in Georgia are marketed co-operatively, after having been graded and packed according to standards adopted. 
PEARS 
Among the small commercial fruit crops in Georgia may be included the pear, which brings into the State each year approximately $200,000.00. Pears may be grown in all sections of the state and many trees are included in the home orchards of farmers who sell the fruit locally, large quantities being preserved by the housewife. 
Several years ago, pears were grown extensively in Georgia, but the presence of blight caused interest in the fruit to wane, and few commercial orchards have been set in recent years. 
The quince and apricot are fruits also grown in the home orchards of many Georgia farmers, for home consumption, no attempt having been made to grow the fruit in commercial quantities.

 SUGAR CANE AND SYRUP 
Georgia cane syrup is another product, famous the country over, in which this State leads in production, Louisiana being second. In 1926 Georgia farmers planted 35,000 acres in sugar cane from which 6,125,000 gallons of syrup, valued at $4,593, 750.00, were made. 
Louisiana planted 29,000 acres from which 4,068,000 gallons of syrup, valued at $3,864,600.00 were made. It is pointed out however, that Louisiana plants a vast acreage in sugar cane but that the cane is used in manufacturing sugar, the acreage used for syrup being very small. Georgia's crop in 1927 totaled 34,000 acres, the yield being 5,100,000 gallons of syrup, valued at $4,080,000.00. 
Sugar cane is grown commercially in South Georgia, Grady county leading al! counties in the State in its production, and Cairo, the county seat, is headquarters for the industry and is the largest pure cane syrup market in the world. Grady county's income alone from cane syrup is almost one million dollars yearly. 
The counties adjacent to Grady also produce much syrup which is put into cans and barrels, labeled and marketed cooperatively all over the United States. Every container sold must bear the label "Georgia Cane Syrup." 
Sugar cane is grown on practically all farms in middle and south Georgia for use in making the family supply of syrup. The cane grows to a height of five feet and more and is cut before frost and local mills grind the cane and convert the juice into syrup by boiling it in "evaporators" and kettles. 
Much of the cane is also sold in its natural state for chewing, Atlanta alone consuming more than 50 cars of sugar cane each fall. 
SORGHUM 
Sorghum cane is grown extensively in north Georgia where the season is too short for sugar cane to mature before frost. Sorghum is made into syrup in north Georgia just as sugar cane is in south Georgia. 
Georgia farmers in 1927 planted 25,000 acres in sorghum, the yield being 2,050,000 gallons of syrup the value of which was $1,538,000.00. 
Sorghum usually matures during the summer months.

 CORN 
Corn leads all crops in acreage planted in Georgia, the acreage each year being larger than that of cotton. The crop in 1927 totaled 3,893,000 acres with a yield of 54,502,000 bushels, valued at $44,147,000.00, or 81 cents per bushel. 
Corn is the most universal crop in Georgia, being planted on practically every farm and in every garden in the State. It is one of the chief foods of man, livestock and poultry on Georgia farms. Corn is served in a great many different ways for human consumption. 
Corn and its products, the shredded stalk and fodder, are fed in some form to farm animals, cattle and poultry. Georgia farmers are also selling much corn in carload lots each year. 
Corn is a native of the western hemisphere and was found to be the chief food of the American Indians when discovered, they calling it "maize." It is now cultivated in other sections of the world, seasons permitting. Carvings found in Central America indicate that corn was used as a symbol of prosperity hundreds of years before Columbus discovered America. 
That large yields of corn may be grown in Georgia is shown by the fact that Georgia club boys have grown more than 200 bushels on a single acre. The winner in the five-acre corn contest conducted by the State College of Agriculture in 1927, grew 131.05 bushels per acre at a profit of $101.04 per acre. An average of 65.36 bushels of corn per acre were grown by 109 farmers in the contest. 
RYE 
The value of the crop of rye grown in Georgia each year is approximately one-half million dollars. In 1927 the value of the crop was placed at $429,000.00, being grown on 26,000 acres, the yield being 260,000 bushels. 
Very little rye is planted in Georgia for commercial purposes, because most of the acreage is used for grazing. A small rye patch close to the home furnishes excellent grazing ground during the winter for livestock and poultry. Rye is also cut before it heads and is fed to farm stock and cattle. 
Rye can be grown in every section of the State.

L. Blackwell, near Calhoun in Gordon county; 6-7--Corn fields near Brunswick in Glynn county. 
 
 PIMIENTO PEPPER 
Pimiento pepper growing is an industry that has sprung up within the last twenty years in a number of middle Georgia counties, especially in Spalding, Butts, Henry, Lamar, Upson, Jasper, Monroe, Clayton, Pike and Meriwether counties. Truck growers near Griffin developed the Perfection Pimiento Pepper after many experiments and this variety is grown principally in the State. 
So successful has been the growing of this plant in middle Georgia that a number of other counties, some in south Georgia, are beginning to grow this crop also and with the acreage expanding each year, pepper growing promises to become an important industry in the State. 
About 5,000 acres are planted in Georgia each year the yield running as high as 6,000 pounds to the acre, with a price average of from $30.00 to $40.00 a ton for the peppers. Factories which can the pepper pods are located at Griffin, Jackson and Woodbury the production of which totals from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 cans each season, the value of the entire crop in Georgia being estimated at from $350,000.00 to $500,000.00. The cans of pepper are marketed all over the United States. 
Hot beds are planted in February from which growers transplant in fields during April and as late as July 10th. Peppers are cultivated similar to cotton, the rows being about the same width, the plants being set in the drill and fertilized with a high grade commercial fertilizer. A bed on which is planted a half pound of seed will grow enough plants to set one acre of land, about 5,000 plants being set to the acre. 
RICE 
Little attention is given to rice growing in Georgia, only 3,000 acres being planted in 1927, which produced 48,000 bushels, valued at $58,000.00. 
Rice was formerly grown extensively in Georgia, 19,000 acres being planted in 1890, the yield being 15,000,000 pounds or 800 pounds an acre. In 1900 the production dropped to 7,500,000 pounds and since that time production has steadily decreased. 
There is a tendency, however, on the part of the farmers on the coastal lands of Georgia to revive rice growing.

 OATS 
Oats are grown on a majority of farms in Georgia mostly for livestock feed. In 1927, 442,000 acres were planted, the yield being 9,282,000 bushels, which were valued at $6,962,000.00. 
Oats are used almost exclusively by the farmers in feeding the livestock, the grain being harvested in early summer, long before corn is mature and is fed to the stock during the summer months. 
Most farmers sow oats in the fall, although many acres are also planted as late as February, especially if the fall crop should be injured badly or killed entirely by freezes. May and June are the harvest months, individual or community reapers being used, on the whole, to harvest the crop. The grain is usually shocked in the field or housed awaiting the threshing machines, which come during the summer months, after the other crops have been "laid by," and there is a lull in farm work. Many farmers own their own threshers, while others haul their grain to a community machine. 
Many farmers plant peas in the fields after the oats are harvested and a fine yield of peas and hay is gathered in the fall. Much late corn is also planted following oats. 
WHEAT 
Wheat is grown in all sections of Georgia, 125,000 acres being sown in 1927 from which 1,150,000 bushels were harvested, the value of which was $1,782,000.00. 
There are a number of community flour mills located throughout the State which convert the wheat into flour for the farmers who then use it for home consumption. There are several large flour mills in the State that use quantities of wheat grown in Georgia in milling flour for commercial purposes. 
Wheat grown in Georgia is of a hardy variety and compares favorably with that grown in the larger wheat growing states. 
There is a great opportunity for wheat growing in the State, not only for home consumption, but also for sale, as the Georgia mills are anxious to buy Georgia grown wheat. Thousands of barrels of flour are shipped into the State each year for consumption, which might as well be produced on Georgia lands.

 HAY, PEAS AND BEANS 
The climate and soil of Georgia are well adapted to the growing of all grasses, therefore much hay is produced in the State, although not near enough to supply the local demand, many tons of hay being shipped into the State each year. 
The hay crop in Georgia in 1927 was valued at $9,431,000.00, a total of 582,000 tons being grown on 825,000 acres of land. Bermuda and other native grasses grown with peas and other legume plants such as alfalfa, soy beans, velvet beans and clover give a fine yield of hay. Alfalfa grows luxuriantly in Georgia, several cuttings being obtained each season, with re-seeding not being required very often. Beans are also planted with other crops such as corn and are used for grazing for livestock. 
Approximately 7,000 acres of soy beans were planted in Georgia in 1927, the yield being valued at $114,000.00 for 42,000 bushels, which are used in feeds and for seed. 
The value of the cow pea crop in Georgia in 1927 was $1,578. 000.00, a total of 1,088,000 bushels being grown on 272,000 acres. A number of other varieties of table peas are also grown in the State, peas being an important item of food on the Georgia farmer's table. Peas are regarded as great soil builders and many are planted on lands from which grains have been harvested. 
VEGETABLES, FBUITS AND FLOWERS. 
^ Vegetables, fruits and flowers of many varieties thrive in Georgia, the soil and climate being especially suited to their luxuriant growth. 
Many vegetables are not only grown in the gardens for home consumption, but large quantities of cabbages, turnips, tomatoes, onions, collards and seed, asparagus, lettuce, okra, carrots, peas, cucumbers, string beans and peppers are grown for commercial purposes. From 500 to 1,000 cars of vegetables are shipped from Georgia each year, in addition to the large quantities trucked to local markets. Gross income from $500 to $1,000 an acre is reported from some of the truck farms in Georgia. 
In 1927 there were 5,000 acres planted in asparagus in Georgia, the yield therefrom being 120,000 crates which sold for $500,-

 000.00. The crop moves about March 15, and is equal in quality to any asparagus sold in the United States. 
Vegetable growing for sale is getting to he an important industry in Georgia in the coast territory, and in other south Georgia counties. Vegetables are grown in large quantities and shipped to large soup and canning factories in the east. Many vegetables are canned in the State each year, by the housewives, canning club girls and by commercial canneries. 
In addition to the large quantities of fruit grown in the State, such as apples, peaches, etc., the home orchards of farmers contain a great variety, such as pears, plums, figs, quince, apricots, currants, cherries, grapes and usually a scuppernong arbor. Plums, blackberries, muscadines, persimmons, dewberries and such nuts as walnuts, hickory, chestnuts, chinquepins and also pecans, grow wild in Georgia. Satsuma oranges are also being grown successfully in south Georgia. 
Dewberries are grown on a commercial scale in Telfair and other counties, Dr. W. H. Born, at McRae, having the largest dewberry farm in the south. He averages a carload to an acre on his 40 acre farm each year. Many Strawberries are also grown for sale in Georgia. 
Flowers of many hue are grown to some extent around practically all farm houses in the State and much time is given to the cultivation of flowers in gardens and yards. Native flowers grown in Georgia are hardly rivaled in beauty by those of any other State. Bulb growing for commercial purposes is also getting to be an important industry on the coast section of Georgia, bulbs grown there rivaling those imported, florists say. 
Georgia farmers may grow any edible plant produced in America, it being possible to obtain vegetables from Georgia gardens every month in the year, if a variety of seeds suited to the different seasons are planted. 
Conditions are favorable in Georgia to every farmer owning a few cows, which furnish milk and butter for the family and chickens to supply eggs and poultry, which are almost indispensable to the housewife in preparing a meal. These with a good garden added would enable the farmer to materially cut down his food bill and to "live at home and board at the same place."

 BEES AND HONEY 
The first settlers of Georgia found bees here and honey is said to have been the only sweets of the Indians that inhabited the land. Among the large trees of the Georgia swamps today can be found portions of trees gnawed open by honey-eating bears many centuries ago, which proves that bees have existed in this State for a long time, the flora of this section being especially favorable for bees and honey making. 
The first settlers kept the bees in log gums and domesticated them and with the advent of sawmills, hives were made of lumber. This method continued about a century or until about 40 years ago, when modern movable frame hives came into use which caused this industry to make substantial gains in the State. 
Bee-keeping in all its branches in Georgia engages more than 3,000 persons, who are caring for approximately 150,000 colonies of bees for commercial purposes. Many farmers also keep a few hives of bees to furnish honey for home use. 
The industry is confined to no special section of the State, which shows that bees thrive all over Georgia. Citizens of this State eat much honey, but on account of the rapid development of bee-keeping in Georgia within the last few years, more honey is produced in the State than is consumed, consequently large shipments of honey are made to other states. 
Georgia honey is fine in body, color and flavor and will not granulate, but will keep indefinitely in warm and cold climates. Beginning in the mountains of north Georgia and extending to the coastal plains, Georgia abounds in honey-producing plants, which include the nectar-secreting plants of the mountains to the field-crops and flowers throughout the State. 
Bee-keeping has a bright future in Georgia. The bee disease law will control diseases and will safeguard the business of honey production and the capital invested therein. The mild climate of Georgia is not only favorable to the life of the bees, but also furnishes a long blooming season for plants. 
The "Dixie Beekeeper," devoted to southern beekeeping is published monthly at Waycross by J. J. Wilder, a leader and a pioneer in beekeeping in Georgia.

 SOILS 
Georgia has soils adapted to every crop suited to the climate of the State, and a variety of soils is found in the three distinct areas that divide the State--the mountainous section in the north, the Piedmont area in middle north Georgia and the Coastal Plain area that takes in practically all of south Georgia. 
In north Georgia may be found a variety of soils, brown and red loam, silicious and sandy soils in the table or mountain lands, either gray or yellow and more or less gravelly, while alluvial soils predominate in the valleys. A number of shales underlie vast areas in north Georgia and many of the gravelly lands have a clay sub-soil. The table lands are especially suited to vegetable and fruit growing, while all farm crops thrive in the valleys. 
The "Red Hills of Georgia" are found principally in middle and north Georgia and the lands include both, red sandy and red clayey soils. The red soils which are caused by the decomposition of certain minerals, have a more or less deep red-clay subsoil. The surface of the red lands is usually hilly or rolling, these soils being well suited to fruit growing, the soil giving the fruit delicious flavor and rich color. 
Many i(d lands are also found in the northern section of the Coastal PL'.in belt. These lands, while containing more sand than the red areas farther north, are of red-clay formation, associated generally with silicious shell rocks, with a heavy subsoil of clay loam. The pine belt soil is sandy with generally a clayey subsoil, underlaid by white limestone, with red clay loam in some localities. 
The wiregrass region of south Georgia covers an area of about 10,000 square miles, the surface of which is generally level, underlaid in sections by sandstone. The soil is pebbly and loamy with a clay and sand subsoil. 
The coast lands have a dark loamy soil with a clayey subsoil. These lands are especially adapted to truck growing and yields from $500.00 to $1,000.00 an acre are being reported from the truck farms in the Coast area. 
Soil surveys have been made of a number of counties in the different sections of the State, copies of whch may be obtained upon request from the Georgia Department of Agriculture, Atlanta, or the State College of Agriculture, Athens.

 LIVESTOCK IN GEORGIA 
That livestock raising in Georgia is materially on the up-grade is shown the fact that all classes of animals, except horses, which may be giving away in favor of the automobile, showed a substantial increase in number on Georgia farms during 1927. 
While tractors and other improved machinery are used on Georgia farms, mules and horses are used principally in cultivating the crops, stockraising not being engaged in to any large extent, although it could be followed with profit. Thousands of mules are sold in Georgia each year, Atlanta being the largest mule market in the world. 
There were 398,000 horses and mules in Georgia on January 1, 1928, their value being set at $40,562,000.00. The total value of all livestock in Georgia including horses, mules, cows, sheep and hogs is estimated to be $75,640,000.00. The division according to number and value is as follows: Horses: 41,000, value $3,214,000.00; Mules: 357,000, value $37,348,000.00; Cows: 863,000, value $24,915,000.00; Sheep: 52,000, value $195,000.00; Hogs: 1,424,000, value $9,963,000.00. 
SHEEP 
Sheep raising in Georgia is not confined to any special section but is carried on in various parts of the State, especially in north and in south Georgia. 
There were 52,000 sheep on Georgia farms on January 1, 1928, which were valued at $200,000.00, there being a slight gain in number and value over the previous year. 
Great opportunities lie in the development of sheep raising in the State, there being an increasing demand for lambs and for wool. As livestock raising in the State grows the sheep industry is expected to have more attention given it. 
GOATS 
While no especial attention is given to raising goats in Georgia, the number in the State is estimated to be 200,000, they, for the most part, run at large in the timber and cut-over lands and on the large farms throughout South Georgia. The goat being a good forager, takes care of himself without the necessity of either special food or pastures being provided for him.

S. Cummings & Son at Donaldsonville; 8--Bonnie J,, Georgia Hereford, International grandjchampion in 1919; !9--Type of horse on Trion Farms, at Trion, Ga. 
 
 HOGS 
A State survey shows that there were 1,424,000 hogs, valued at $9,963,000.00 on the farms of Georgia on January 1, 1928, an increase of more than 200,000 during 1927 over 1926. 
Hog raising in Georgia is growing in interest, many farmers getting rid of their "razor-back" stock and substituting therefor purebred swine, both for sale animals and for home-cured meat. Spring and summer pastures afford excellent grazing ground for hogs from early spring into late fall when they are turned into peanut and corn and velvet bean fields for the final "fattening." 
Winter grazing fields are also prepared in many sections of the State, which afford grazing for the hogs and pigs "carried over" during the winter. Pigs, as far as possible, are farrowed in the spring so that they will be large enough to be sold or killed with the first cold spells of winter. Most farmers slaughter their own hogs during a cold spell, curing the meat at home. If the weather is too mild, ice is used to cure the meat or it is placed in a nearby cold storage plant. 
Formerly Georgia's bill each year for meat bought outside the State was a staggering sum, but this has been materially cut down in recent years, farmers in this State marketing hundreds of cars of hogs each year. An instance of the gain in hog-growing in Georgia is shown by the report of the Market Bureau of the Georgia Department of Agriculture which sold during nine months, from July 1927 through March 1928, a total of 328 carloads of hogs for Georgia growers which brought $413,292.30. 
At Moultrie is located the Swift Packing Plant which has been in operation several years and which has stimulated hog growing in that section of Georgia by affording a cash market for swine. The White Packing Company, in Atlanta, also uses a large number of Georgia hogs, as do several small packing plants at other points in the State, also many are handled by dealers who sell hogs to local markets. 
Pig clubs, fostered by the Boys' and Girls' clubs of the State have done much to prove the value of raising pure-bred hogs in Georgia, both for home consumption and for sale. In the ton-litter contest in Georgia in 1927, Charles Slappey, of Sumter county, broke the world's ton-litter record, his litter averaging 308 pounds at six months old, the 11 pigs weighing 3,395 pounds.

 CATTLE AND DAIRYING 
The cow has been called the "Mother of Prosperity" and she is occupying a more and more important place on Georgia farms as her real worth is recognized. The cow, perhaps, is the farmer's best animal friend and literally turns grass into flesh and supplies him with milk, cream and butter, so important as foods. In addition, the cow is the source of the beef supply, a principal meat dish in America. 
There were 863,000 cows, valued at $24,915,000.00, on Georgia farms on January 1, 1928, there being a gain in value of $6,000, 000.00 in a year's time, although the gain in number during 1927 over 1928 was only 9,000 animals. The great increase in the value indicates that the farms and dairies in Georgia are being rapidly stocked with pure-bred cows. 
Cattle raising has always been a part of Georgia's farm program, but little attention was given until late years to improved herds of cattle and to dairying. Now there are hundreds of purebred herds owned by Georgia farmers and dairymen and the sale of cream and sour milk is an important industry in the State. 
Cream stations have been built in many sections and routes established, the farmer selling his cream and sour milk at his door, or selling his cream and feeding the skimmed milk to his hogs and poultry. Dairy products in Georgia are valued annually at $15,000,000.00 
Natural or Bermuda grass pastures are green in the State several months in the year, which afford excellent grazing lands for the cattle. Permanent pastures are also provided by seeding with such grasses as Carpet, Lespedeza and Dallis grass. Supplementing this with fall-sown grains, alfalfa and other legumes, cheap year-round grazing may be obtained, hay and other homegrown concentrates furnishing feed during the winter months or during the time the pastures may be lean or bare. 
In devoting much land to pastures, Georgia farmers not only reap a harvest from the sale of the dairy products but at the same time are building up their land by pasturing livestock upon it. 
With an abundance of pure water, and other natural advantages, and with the stamping out of the cattle ticks in Georgia coupled with the intensive fight that is now being made by the State Veterinary department to eliminate entirely or curb perceptibly tuberculosis and other diseases, cattle raising in Georgia both for beef and dairy purposes faces a bright future.

 POULTRY IN GEORGIA 
While Georgia still consumes a great deal more poultry and eggs than it produces, yet this industry has made great gains with Georgia farmers within the last few years and promises to become even more important in the future. 
Until a few years ago chicken growing and egg production was confined almost wholly to the few hens on practically every farm in the State, only the surplus of poultry and eggs being sold. But within the last five years more than one hundred commercial hatcheries with a capacity of more than one million eggs at a hatching have been put into operation over the State and the industry has been lifted, almost overnight so to speak, from that of a minor to a major one, with many farmers. 
The poultry industry is valued at $40,000,000 each year in Georgia, yet the State consumes eggs alone valued at $22,000, 000.00 with only $15,000,000.00 worth of eggs being produced in the State. This means that the State is sending $7,000,000.00 out of the State annually for eggs alone, to say nothing of the enormous amount also spent outside the State for poultry consumed over and above the supply grown in Georgia. 
The poultry industry has been given great stimulus since 1924 by the operation throughout the State of poultry cars, the railroads co-operating with the State Agricultural Department, the State College of Agriculture and the County Agents in furnishing these facilities to the farmers. Cars equipped to hold chickens stop at various stations on stated days, and buyers who accompany the cars purchase the poultry for cash from the farmers who are notified of the train's schedule and bring their chickens to the "moving market." 
The chicken cars have been so successful and the poultry industry has been so greatly increased therefrom, that operation of cars exclusively for eggs has been started, the first car being operated from Lavonia to Athens on March 13-15, 1928. 
Poultry raising in Georgia offers unlimited possibilities because the State is consuming more chickens and eggs than it produces and because of the mild climate, which is especially favorable to poultry. Green fields the year round afford excellent pickings for chickens and the mild weather means that the laying season in this State is thereby extended.

 MINERAL RESOURCES 
The mineral resources of Georgia are both extensive and varied, there being thirty-four different kinds of minerals produced in commercial quantities in the State. This large number and the varied kinds of minerals are due largely to the great diversity in the geological formations in the State. 
The mineral production is confined largely to the northern half of Georgia, although there are some produced in all sections of the State, fullers earth having been found almost as far south as the Florida line. 
The value of the mineral resources as compiled by S. W. McCallie, State Geologist, for the year 1926, totaled $19,169,912.00, which was an increase of $721,654.00 over the previous year. The largest industry contributing to the mineral output of the State was brick and tile manufacturing, which totaled $5,975, 486.00, with marble second, its products being valued at $2,815, 149.00. 
The following is a list of the minerals and their value:

 BRICK AND TILE. 
Brick and tile manufacturing represents the largest item in the mineral output of the State, there being 76 plants thus engaged. Common, face and paving brick are largely manufactured and the tile products include terra cotta and flue linings, hollow building tile, roofing and drain tile. Other products include sewer pipe, wall coping, pottery and earthenware and stoneware. The total value of these products is approximately $6,000,000 each year. 
With the era of construction, in buildings, roads and streets, now going on in Georgia and other States, there is a great demand for brick and tile products and the output of the plants operating in this State is expected to increase each year, as the demand for these materials grows. 
The clays of Georgia are especially suited for the manufacture of brick and tile products and this industry is facing a bright future in the State. 
CERAMICS. 
The word ceramic is used in a general way to cover all the products of the potter's art. Primitive man discovered that clay could be moulded into vessels, that fire hardened these vessels and that a glaze applied preserved them. Due to the vast quantities of kaolin and bauxite in Georgia and because of the excellent refractory properties of these minerals, this State is expected to become one of the important refractory producing centers of the United States. 
Georgia's raw ceramic products for making brick, tile, building blocks, terra cotta, roofing, floor and wall tile and fine pottery, vases, table and other white ware, are unequaled in America. In recognition of the potential wealth of the State's clay resources, the Georgia School of Technology, in Atlanta, four years ago organized a Department of Ceramics and erected a building in which students are trained in the science of ceramics. 
The result of the study of ceramics at Georgia Tech show that Georgia clays are widely varied, appear practically inexhaustible in supply, and are equal in value to those found in any State in the Union. The output of clay products in the State each year is valued at approximately $10,000,000.00.

H. Holbrook, of Atlanta, built of Georgia brick; 6--Ceramics building at the Georgia School of Technology, Atlanta, where Georgia clays are studied; 7--College Park high school erected of Georgia brick. 
 
 MARBLE. 
The use of Georgia marble as building and ornamental stone has made great gains within the past 40 years and the output of the quarries exceeds that of any State in the Union, Vermont excepted. The most valuable marbles are those found in Pickens, Cherokee, Gilmer and Fannin counties, the belt running parallel to the Louisville & Nashville Railroad from near Ball Ground, in Cherokee county north to the State line, a distance of more than 60 miles. The yearly output is valued at approximately $3,000,000.00. 
Georgia marble usually has a course texture, but admits of a very fine polish and is admirably suited both for building and memorial purposes. In color, the stone varies from white to almost black, a flesh color also being found. Tests made of the physical and chemical properties of Georgia Marble demonstrate that its durability equals or exceeds that of any marble now being produced. 
At Tate, in Pickens county is located the largest marble plant in the State, operated by the Georgia Marble Company, of which Colonel Sam Tate is President. Here is found a chrystalline marble that is used largely in buildings and memorials, this stone being used in the erection of memorials to three former presidents of the United States, Lincoln, McKinley and Harding. 
The statue of Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial at Washington is made of twenty-eight large blocks of Georgia marble, totaling approximately 3,000 cubic feet. The statue weighs 175 tons. The Memorial, including the building and statue, erected at Niles, Ohio to the memory of former President William McKinley is built entirely of Georgia Marble. The memorial at Marion, Ohio, in which the body of former President Warren G. Harding rests, is erected of Georgia marble. The design of this memorial, a complete circle conveying the idea of eternity, without beginning or end, is supported by a number of large and stately columns. 
Other noted buildings and memorials in which Georgia marble was used includes the State capitols of Minnesota, Rhode Island and Utah; the United States Government building at Boston, St. Luke's hospital, New York, the Corcoran Art Gallery, Washington, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Buckingham Fountain, the largest of its kind in the world, at Chicago, the

 Maine Memorial at Havana, the Augusta, Ga., Post-office, the New Orleans Post Office, the Federal Reserve Bank at Cleveland, Ohio, New York Stock Exchange, and the statues of Crawford W. Long and Alexander H. Stephens placed in the Hall of Fame at Washington by the State of Georgia. 
The output of marble from the quarries in Georgia each year totals several hundred thousand cubic feet, which is shipped to practically every State in the Union. Modern and improved methods of mining and finishing marble are used in the quarries, which enables Georgia firms to compete with any other marble produced in the world. 
GRANITE. 
The granite industry in Georgia ranks close to marble in importance, the yearly output being valued at more than two million dollars. Granite is one of the most important and extensive building and monumental stones in the State. 
Granite is found in an almost inexhaustible supply in the Piedmont Plateau and big quarries are located in DeKalb, Elbert, Greene, Gwinnett, Rockdale, Newton, Hall, Hancock and other Georgia counties. One of the most interesting and the largest barren granite masses in the United States is Stone Mountain in DeKalb county. 
Granite quarrying in Georgia was started at Stone Mountain as early as 1845, but systematic quarrying began about 1869 and is now an important industry in those sections where the stone is found in large areas. 
In addition to the granite used in buildings and construction work, such as paving material and curbing, very fine monumental granite is found in the State that has few equals, if any superiors, in the United States, which is used extensively for monuments and memorials. 
Georgia ships granite to practically every State in the Union and some adjoining countries. This State leads the south and stands seventh in the United States in the production of granite, being exceeded only by Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine, Colorado, Wisconsin and Maryland. 
Inasmuch as the quarries can operate continuously, not being hindered by extreme cold weather, the Georgia plants run full time and are able to fill all orders promptly.

 CEMENT. 
Cement ranks third in value of the mineral products in Georgia, this commodity being valued at nearly three million dollars each year. Both natural and portland cements are made in Georgia. Natural cement plants are located in Bartow and Walker counties, while portland plants are operated at Rockmart in Polk county and at Clinchfield in Houston county. A plant is also in course of erection in Washington county. The Polk county plants produce approximately 3,000 barrels of cement daily, while the output at the Clinchfield plant in 1927 totaled 699,356 barrels. 
The cement industry is growing rapidly in Georgia as shown by the fact that the Clinchfield plant has been in operation only a few years and the Washington plant is just opening. With the large increase in road and street paving and structural building, the demand for cement is growing each year, a ready market being found for the entire output in the State. 
WATER. 
Water, so necessary to all life, human, animal and plant, is abundant in Georgia, there being a number of rivers, creeks, and branches in all sections of the State, and in addition, there are natural springs, wells, ponds and lakes. The boundary lines on three sides of the State for long distances are formed by rivers, the Tugalo and Savannah on the east, the St. Marys on the south and the Chattahoochee on the west. 
Being a watershed State, practically all the large streams rise in the northern part and flow southward. Pure water is found on practically all farms in the State, some counties having a natural spring or small stream of running water on every land lot. 
Mineral springs, high in medicinal value, are found in various sections of the State, from which much water is sold, principally in cities for drinking water. Many of these springs are also used as resorts, such as Indian Spring, which is owned by the State of Georgia, Warm Springs and the Sulphur Springs in Meriwether county, White Sulphur Springs in Hall, Radium Springs at Albany, Lithia Springs, Miona Springs and others. 
Georgia has no better advertisement than its water, most of which is "soft."

 ASBESTOS: This mineral, which is fibrous, resembling petrified wood, is found in Georgia in the Piedmont plateau, White, Rabun, Barrow and Habersham counties having mines. There are two varieties, chrysotile and amphibole, mined in this State, the finer products being spun and woven into fireproof materials and for electrical insulations. 
Asbestos is a non-conductor of heat and electricity and is therefore used extensively for insulation, and for steam pipe and boiler coverings. It is also used in the manufacture of fire-proof paint and in various building materials, such as lumber shingles and plaster. 
BARYTES: Georgia is one of the leading producers of barytes in this country, the value of the output yearly being approximately $600,000.00. Barytes deposits which are worked in a commercial way in Georgia are in Bartow county and at Eton in Murray county. 
This mineral is used largely in paints as a substitute for white lead, and in the manufacture of paper, rubber, oilcloths, paper collars and barium salts. It is also used in refining sugar, glazing pottery and for enameling metals. Georgia produces about two-thirds of the Barytes mined in the United States. 
BAUXITE: The first bauxite found in America was discovered in Floyd county in 1887. Later deposits were found in Polk, Bartow, Gordon, Chattooga, Walker, Wilkinson, Sumter, Macon, Meriwether and a number of other Georgia counties. 
Bauxite is a hydroxide of alumina and the ore is found in the form of large pockets and in beds and is mined in the same manner as clay. 
Georgia bauxites are used largely in the manufacture of alum and metal aluminum. It is also used in making fire-bricks and adundum, an artificial abrasive. 
CHLORITE: This mineral is a magnesian aluminum silicate, composed of greenish or grey mica-like scales, and because of its soapy appearance is often mistaken for talc or soapstone. 
Chlorite is found in commercial quantities near Canton in Cherokee county, the deposits being mined within the last three years, the product being hauled to Canton where it is ground and prepared for market. It is used for foundry facings, coating tarred roof paper, in the manufacture of electrical insulations and for lubricating purposes. 
75 
 
 CHROMITE: This mineral, as far as known, is found in commercial quantities in only two Georgia counties.. Towns and Troup. A limited quantity of the ore has been mined at the Troup deposit. It is usually found in the form of boulders in residual clays. 
Chromite is used in the manufacture of hard chrome steel and chrome brick, which stand intense heat. It is also used in calico printing and in electrical batteries and in such compounds as potassium bi-chromate. 
COAL: Coal is found in Georgia in Sand, Lookout and Pigeon mountains in Dade, Walker and Chattooga counties. The total coal area of the State is approximately 170 square miles, which is estimated to contain 921,000,000 tons of coal, or enough to last the State at the present rate of consumption, for more than 200 years. 
Two mines are operated in Georgia and it is estimated that 12,000,000 tons of coal have been removed so far, the coal from these mines is semi-bituminous, has a high heating value and is used largely for steam and coking purposes. 
Approximately 75,000 tons of coal, valued at $375,000.00 are mined annually in Georgia. 
COPPER: The most extensive copper deposits found in Georgia are in Fannin, Cherokee and Haralson counties. Deposits have also been found in Lincoln, Lumpkin and Fulton counties. The deposits are of the Cambrian and Archaean rock types. 
The Fannin deposits are near the Ducktown mining district of Tennessee. The Cherokee deposits have been worked at one mine, near Canton. 
Copper was mined in Georgia as early as 1850 and it is considered a valuable metal, being used for copper wire and for other purposes. The United States one-cent coin contains 95 per cent copper, while all gold and silver coins contain 10 per cent copper. 
CORUNDUM: This is an aluminum oxide and is next to the diamond in hardness. There are three varieties, sapphire, corundum and emery, and two varieties, sapphire and corundum, have been found in many north Georgia counties, particularly in Towns, Union, and Rabun, the chief output of the State being from a mine in Rabun county. 
In addition to gem material, corundum has an extensive use as an abrasive. 
76 
 
 FELDSPAR: The feldspars are widely distributed throughout the Piedmont and Appalachian areas of Georgia and are associated with mica and quartz. There are mines in Paulding, White and Rabun counties. The Georgia output are potash feldspars and have been used for fertilizer purposes, after being chemically treated to make the potash soluble. 
Besides a potash, feldspar is used extensively in making china, porcelain, whitewash, glazes and in all metal polishes. 
FLUORSPAR: This mineral is used largely in smelting ore and in the manufacture of opalescent glass and hydro-fluoric acid. It has a variety of colors, the most common being violet and green. 
Fine specimens of this mineral have been found in northwest Georgia, especially in Gordon and Chattooga counties. 
FULLERS EARTH: Georgia is one of the main producers of Fullers Earth in the United States, the yearly output being valued at $1,750,000.00. This State is exceeded only by Florida in the production of this mineral, which is found in a number of Georgia counties over a more or less scattered area. Extensive deposits are in Bibb, Columbia, Decatur, Twiggs and Stewart counties. There are plants in Decatur, Stewart and Twiggs counties, the output of which in 1926 was valued at $1,614,134.00. 
Fullers Earth is a clay-like material used largely in decolorizing and clarifying oils and fats and in the preparation of medicines, in the manufacture of soap and as an absorbent. 
GOLD: This metal has been mined in Georgia for threequarters of a century and the outlook for a revival of this industry is seen with the opening up of new mines in Lumpkin county, the work of which is going forward rapidly. 
Gold was discovered in Georgia in the Dahlonega section in 1829. By 1830 the "gold fever" had fairly developed in Georgia and the Government established a mint at Dahlonega in 1838 which continued in operation until the outbreak of the War Between the States in 1861. The greatest output of any one year in Georgia was in 1843, when over a half million dollars were coined. A total of $6,115,569.00wascoinedbythe Dahlonega mint during its operation. The total amount of gold produced in Georgia from the time of its discovery until the present time is estimated at $20,000,000.00. 
77 
 
 The gold deposits of Georgia belong to the Appalachian gold fields that extend from Nova Scotia to Alabama. The gold in Georgia is found in a number of narrow, parallel belts, having a northeast-southwest trend. While the most important belts are in the Dahlonega and Hall county area, yet another belt traverses Lincoln, Columbia, McDuffie and Warren counties, in the eastern part of the State. 
The gold output in Georgia now is a little more than $3,000.00 annually, but intensive mining operations are in progress again at Dahlonega, which are expected to greatly increase Georgia's gold production. 
GRAPHITE: Both amorphous and crystalline varieties of this mineral are found in Georgia, particularly in Bartow, Pickens, Elbert, Hall, Madison, Douglas, Cobb and Troup counties. A mine is located at Emerson in Bartow county which produces an abundant supply of this mineral, which is used as a filler for commercial fertilizer. 
IRON ORE: Several kinds of iron ores are found in Georgia, the most common being the brown, limonites and fossil or hematite ores. Brown ores are most abundant in Polk, Bartow and Floyd counties, with workable deposits in other northwest Georgia counties. The red or fossil iron ores are found in Dade, Walker, Chattooga and Catoosa counties. These ore beds average more than two feet in thickness and are approximately 175 miles long, and may be mined to a depth of several hundred feet. 
The iron ore mined yearly in Georgia has an approximate value of $400,000.00. 
LIMESTONES: Cambrian, Silurian and Carboniferous limestone, suitable for lime, fluxing and building materials, exist in great abundance in northwest Georgia. A formation of magnesian limestone furnishes much of the lime used in the State, as well as a large quantity for concrete and general building purposes. 
A lime-producing plant is located near Cartersville, the product being largely hydrated, although quick lime is also produced. Limestone, found principally in Pickens, Gilmer, Bartow, Dade, Catoosa and Polk counties, is used largely for tarazza, etc. Lime beds suitable for agricultural purposes, also are found in sections of south Georgia. 
The output of limestone in Georgia each year is valued at more than a half million dollars. 
78 
 
 MANGANESE: These ores in Georgia are confined chiefly to Bartow, Floyd and Polk counties, large deposits being found near Cartersville in the residual clays. Manganese ores have been worked in Georgia for a number of years, the product formerly being sent to England, but of late years the ores have found a ready market in this country, where they are used in the manufacture of steel and for bleaching flour. 
MARLS: Marls of good quality are found over a large portion of the State. They carry a considerable amount of phosphoric acid and potash, two of the most important plant foods and they have been used as a natural fertilizer with good results. 
Practically all south Georgia counties carry marl deposits of more or less agricultural value. 
MICA: Mica, found in a number of Georgia counties, is being worked extensively in sections. It is used in the electrical industry and ground mica is used in wall paper and roofing and as a lubricant. 
This mineral, which glistens in the sunlight, is known in Georgia as isinglass and as "Poor Man's Gold." 
OCHER: The ocher mines in Georgia produce more than one-half of the yellow ocher output of the United States. The deposits in this State are confined to a narrow belt about eight miles long and less than two miles wide on the Etowah river in Bartow county. Three plants in that belt are active in the production of ocher, the output being approximately 1,000 tons annually. 
PRECIOUS STONES: While there has been no systematic mining for gems in Georgia, a number of valuable precious stones have been found accidentally in sections of north Georgia during other mining operations. 
Gems found in this State include diamond, ruby, amethyst, rose quartz, rutilated quartz, smoky quartz, agate, jasper, opal, beryl, garnet, rutile and moonstone. 
POTASH-BEARING SLATES: Slates containing from seven to ten per cent of potash are found in north Georgia. The slate, which is mined in Gordon county, is used in the manufacture of roofing and it also believed that Georgia slates are exceptionally fine raw material for the extraction of potash for fertilizer and other purposes. 
79 
 
 PYRITE: This is an iron sulphide used chiefly in the manufacture of sulphuric acid. The mineral is found and is mined in a number of north Georgia counties, particularly in Haralson, Lumpkin, Cherokee, Paulding, Cobb, Douglas and Fannin. 
ROAD MATERIALS: Materials which may be used in building roads are found extensively in Georgia and are evenly distributed throughout the different sections of the State. Nearly all varieties of stone, lime, cement, gravel, chert, sand and natural soil, used in highway and street construction are produced in this State. 
SAND AND GRAVEL: Production of sand has become quite an industry in a number of middle Georgia counties where there is a belt of natural sand extending almost across the entire State. This sand is "washed" by the latest processes, graded and loaded into cars and shipped all over the country and is used in buildings, or in any material where sand and lime are mixed. 
Counties in which large sand beds are found are Crawford, Taylor and Talbot, and others which ship much sand include Chatham, Warren, Telfair, Thomas, Quitman, Dougherty and Wheeler. Sand is also obtained from a number of streams in Georgia and prepared for sale. 
SERICITE: Sericite, a variety of mica which resembles talc, of exceptional purity is found in Pickens county in beds from a few inches to six feet or more in thickness, interlined with quartz schist This sericite has recently attracted much attention as a raw material for the extraction of potash. 
Two companies are mining this material in Georgia. SERPENTINE: This mineral, which is a silicate of magnesia, usually carrying more or less impurities, is found principally in Cherokee county, where it is mined The stone is used almost exclusively for interior finish and decorations for stairways, corridors, mantels and pedestals. 
TALC AND SOAPSTONE: Talc has been found in a number of localities in Georgia, mines being located in several north Georgia counties Soapstone is considered an impure form of talc. 
Talc is used principally for pencils, gas tips, paper filler, lubricants, fire-proof paints and in toilet powders. 
TRIPOLI: This mineral is found in a number of northwest Georgia counties and is used largely in the manufacture of scouring soaps and polishing powders.

 MANUFACTURING. 
 
Although Georgia has always been regarded largely as an Agricultural State, yet manufacturing has made marvelous progress within the last few years. The industries in Georgia in 1926, the latest figures available, manufactured products valued at $811, 076,401.00, which compares with the farm products valued at approximately $300,000,000.00 
Textiles led in manufactures, their value being $247,897,961.00, with iron and steel products valued at $165,342,246.00 second, while oil mill goods valued at $42,080,463.00 took third place. 
More than 150,000 employees, receiving approximately $275, 000,000.00 annually in salaries and wages, are employed in the 5,000 establishments in the State, which manufacture a large variety of articles 
The presence of an abundance of raw material, an ideal climate which favors high production, unlimited power, and native-born Anglo-Saxon labor, are factors that enter largely into the great increase in manufacturing in Georgia. 
Manufacturing industries have always been encouraged in Georgia as demonstrated by the Act passed by the Legislature giving counties and cities the authority to exempt from taxation for a period of five years new industries and extensions of old operations. So far 84 counties and 118 municipalities have held elections and voted the tax exemption 
The following list shows the products and the value thereof manufactured in Georgia in 1926 as compiled by the Georgia Manufacturers Association and the State Department of Commerce and Labor:

TEXTILES. 
Georgia stands fourth in the number of cotton spindles in operation in the United States, being exceeded only by Massachusetts, North Carolina and South Carolina. Massachusetts leads with 10,111,846 spindles, North Carolina is second with 6,200,292, South Carolina being third with 5,461,614, while Georgia is next with 3,061,000. 
Georgia's rapid gain as a textile center is indicated by the fact that 180,688 spindles, or 31.5 per cent of all the new spindles in the south in 1927 were placed in Georgia, exceeding the number added by any other State. Out of the 69 mills moving to the south from other states during the last three years, 17 plants located in Georgia, more than were placed in any other one State. Of the 12,832 looms added in the south in 1927, Georgia showed the greatest gain with 4,047, with North Carolina second with 3326 looms. 
Textile products, valued at approximately $250,000,000.00 annually, leads all industries in the State. 
Georgia is now producing more than 60 per cent of the fabric for automobile tires manufactured in America, some mills beingdevoted entirely to the manufacture of this material. 
The largest spinning unit on one floor in America is at the Bibb Manufacturing Company's plant at Columbus, there being 100,000 spindles in operation on one floor. 
That the south is rapidly becoming the textile center of the United States is shown by the fact that at the close of 1927 there

 were 18,424,000 spindles operating in the cotton states compared with 16,280,696 spindles in the eastern states, the south leading by 2,000,000 spindles. 
Factors favoring the continued growth of the textile industry in Georgia are abundant electric power, plentiful and loyal labor, proximity to the raw supply of cotton, favorable climatic conditions for full-time operation, and adequate transportation facilities. 
Textile mills in Georgia are being built along modern lines, the welfare of the employees being given due consideration. Some plants have provided for their employees brick homes, fitted with electricity, water and other modern conveniences, while the streets and sidewalks are paved, and schools, churches, and community centers are provided. 
In 1927 southern mills used 5,404,714 bales of cotton, or 72.97 per cent of the total consumption for the year, while mills in all other states used only 2,001,923 bales or only 27.03 per cent of cotton consumed. Southern mills operated 67,865,118,776 spindle-hours, while mills in other states operated 36,540,348,849 spindle-hours. Southern mills, by virtue of favorable conditions, worked 65 per cent of the total spindle-hours in that year. 
Georgia mills consumed more than one million bales of cotton in 1927. 
NAVAL STORES. 
Georgia is the leading Naval Stores producing State in the Union and Savannah is the largest export city in the world for these products. Brunswick also ships large quantities of these products. 
Naval Stores, which include turpentine, rosin, etc., valued at $23,000,000.00 were produced in 65 south Georgia counties in 1926, this industry employing 12,500 people. 
This industry is confined exclusively to south Georgia. The process includes scarifying or cutting the bark off the trunk of trees a distance of several feet, at the bottom of which is attached a cup into which the gum oozes. This gum is distilled into turpentine, the residue being rosin. 
There are approximately 600 naval stores operators in the State, each of which produces an average of 354 barrels of turpentine annually.

 LUMBERING. 
Georgia has 23,000,000 acres of forest land which represents 60.7 per cent of the entire area of the State and in 1926 a total of 1,087 saw mills cut 1,145,489 thousand-board feet of lumber valued at $27,500,000.00. Yellow pine represented 85 per cent of the lumber, 982,245 thousand-feet being valued at $20,000v 000.00, with other trees, such as ash, maple, sycamore, walnut, cypress, oak, gums, poplar, beech, chestnut, elm, hickory, producing the remainder, valued at $7,500,000.00. 
Georgia is the sixth State in lumber p oduction in the sou'h being exceeded by Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. It is fifth in production of yellow pine lumber, being exceeded by Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Texas. 
While more than one billion feet of lumber are being sawed in the State each year, the local demand is not supplied, there being approximately $5,000,000.00 worth of lumber brought into the State each year. 
The pine is the State's most valuable tree. It furnishes an income of $43,000,000.00 annually to the State from lumber, naval stores and poles alone, to say nothing of the value of the firewood used in the homes and in industries, and even the stumps, are dug up and utilized for making pulp used in the manufacture of paper. Pine straw is used for a number of purposes on the farm, such as bedding for animals and for fertilizers. 
The pine belt covers about 15,000,000 acres principally in south Georgia. In addition, there are valuable hardwoods in Georgia, in both north and south Georgia. There are 1,000,000 acres of virgin timber in the State. 
Georgia hardwoods are used largely in the manufacture of automobile bodies. The Savannah River Lumber Company recently received an order for approximately 100,000,000 feet of hardwood timber, valued at $7,500,000.00, which is to be shipped to Detroit for use in the motor vehicle industry. 
Furniture, fixtures, building material and other woodworking plants in the State manufacture products each year valued at. $40,000,000.00 
There are approximately 500,000 poles used in Georgia by the power companies, telegraph and telephone companies, creosoted pine being largely used.

 FORESTRY. 
In order that the forests of Georgia might be protected, conserved and increased, the State Legislature in 1921 created the State Board of Forestry, but as there were no funds provided and the duties of the Board were purely to investigate and make recommendations to the General Assembly, the law was strengthened by the legislature in 1925 when the Forestry Act was passed, which clothed the Board with authority and provided funds for its maintenance. 
Georgia has 23,000,000 acres of forest land which is more than 60 per cent of the entire land area of the State. Trees are already growing on this land, or it is not needed for agricultural purposes, some of it being hilly and streaked with gullies, being suitable to re-forest, which would not only reclaim much of the land but at the same time would grow valuable timber and in a measure, protect the State's water supply. 
The tree has been called the farmer's best friend. It gives wood for all purposes, such as fuel and building material, furnishes shade, and the leaves take up poisons of the air and also fertilize the soil. Forests protect both the soil and the water supply. 
Georgia is rich in forest flora, the wide difference between the climate of the northern and southern part of the State brings into the compass of 320 miles north and south, most of the trees found from Florida to Pennsylvania. Of a list of 163 varieties of trees growing in Georgia, 53 of them are regarded as producing valuable timber. In addition to the large pine acreage, valuable hardwood trees, cypress and gums, grow in Georgia. 
There is a great opportunity for the growing of hardwoods in Georgia, such as dogwood, persimmon, black locust, sourwood, mulberry, oak and walnut. The textile industry uses dogwood and persimmon trees in the manufacture of shuttles and the demand for the trees is increasing. Besides the timber value of these hardwoods many of them produce fruits and flora for honey that would bring good returns to the farmers while the trees are growing large enough for saw-wood. 
The State Forestry Board is conducting an intensive campaign to encourage reforestration in the State, it being estimated that lands set in trees now will yield lumber in 20 years. An aggressive campaign is also being conducted to prevent forest

 fires, it being estimated by the Board that approximately twomillion acres of forests are burned over every year, causing damage estimated at from three to five million dollars. Local organizations are being formed to protect timber from fires, the legal time when woods may be burned in Georgia being between January 1 and March 1 each year. 
The Forestry Board states that Georgia's 23,000,000 acresof forest land, if protected from fire and handled under forest management, are capable of maintaining an industry that should contribute at least $75,000,000.00 annually to the wealth of the State. 
FOREST FIRE LAW. 
So important to the Georgia farmer is the law regarding "burning off the woods," the legal time being during January and February only each year, that the Act and its provisions are herewith printed for general information: 
Extract from the code of the Georgia law of 1910 as amended by the Legislature in 1927: 
ARTICLE 2 
SECTION 227. WHO MAY. NO person but a resident of the county where the firing is done, owning lands therein, or domiciled thereon, outside of any town in-corporation, shall set on fire any woods, land or marshes, nor shall such persons, except between the first of January and the first of March annually. 
SECTION 228. NOTICE. When such person shall desire to set. fire within a said time, he shall notify all persons who occupy lands adjoining him, by residence thereon, or cultivation, or enclosure of any portion of the tract or settlement, of the day and hour of the firing, at least one day prior thereto. Such notice^ need not be given if, on sudden emergency, due caution should: require firing to render one's premises safe. 
SECTION 229. PENALTY. Any person setting fire in violation; of the preceding sections shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. 
SECTION 230. PENALTY FOR LETTING WOODS CATCH FIRE.. Persons, either by themselves or agents, who permit fire to get into the woods, lands, or marshes, through neglect, are withirn the meaning of the three preceding sections

 POWER. 
Use of electricity in Georgia is coming to be more general as the power of the streams is developed, there being power service in 149 of the 161 counties in the State. Only 12 counties are without electricity. There are 370 cities and towns in Georgia with population of more than one million people using electricity. 
Georgia's power, developed both from water and steam plants, is approximately 500,000 horse power which is under utility and municipal management. It is estimated that approximately a half million horse power is still undeveloped in the streams in the State. 
Power is more and more in demand as industries open up in the State and as electricity is more generally used both in the cities and towns and on the farms. As power stations are established in different sections of the State it is more easy to place electricity on the farms with which to light the homes and to operate machinery of various kinds. 
Development of electric power in Georgia on a large scale dates to the building of the Tallulah Falls plant by the Georgia Power Company in 1913. Since that time this company has developed other power plants in northeast Georgia on the Tallulah, Tugalo and Chattahoochee rivers. Other companies that have also been active in power development in the State include the Columbus Electric & Power Company, and its subsidiary the South Georgia Power Company, which has built power plants on the Chattahoochee river and other streams in southwest Georgia; the Central Georgia Power Company, at Macon, with plants on the Ocmulgee river; the Savannah Electric Company and the Baker County Power Company 
It is estimated that approximately $25,000,000.00 will be spent in Georgia in 1928 on power plants. The Savannah River Electric Company plans a 120,000 horse power project to cost $20,000, 000.00 on the Savannah river, 20 miles north of Augusta. Crisp county has voted more than one million dollars with which to develop a power plant on Flint river in that county. 
Georgia was fourth in the states of the south in 1927 in the development of water power

 EDUCATION. 
Georgia has always taken much interest in the education of its citizens since the founding of the State in 1733. The educational system of the State consists of elementary and high schools, agricultural and industrial schools, and colleges. 
The Georgia University, at Athens, was the first State University chartered in America and Wesleyan College at Macon, was the first college in the United States to grant a diploma to a woman, Miss Catherine Brewer. 
Community schools supported by tuition paid by the patrons gave way to a system of state-supported schools following the adoption of the State Constitution in 1868, which provided for ""A thorough system of general education to be given forever free to all children of the State." The legislature in 1870 passed the first school laws and General J. R. Lewis was appointed by the governor as the first State School Commissioner. Dr. M. L. Duggan is the present State Superintendent. 
The system has been greatly enlarged so that today a child may obtain a complete education in the State from the first grade and continuing through college. Schools for the elementary grades and also junior and senior high schools are accessible to practically every child in the State. 
Consolidation of rural schools has eliminated a large number of one-teacher schools, the number of such schools in the State in 1926 being 882, Georgia being exceeded by only two other southeren states, Mississippi and Texas in consolidated schools. Consolidated schools provide graded classes, better buildings higher average attendance and more efficient teachers. 
Pupils from the distant communities are transported to the schools in busses, there being approximately 600 such vehicles now in use by the consolidated schools in the State. 
The State Department of Education reports that in 1926 the public school fund in the State totaled $19,289,759.87. The value of school property was set at $37,574,124.54. There were 7,158 schools in the State system, the report showed, and 17,881 teachers were employed to teach the 692,907 pupils enrolled. 
There were 614,386 pupils enrolled in the elementary grades, while 75,617 attended the high schools. The number of four-year accredited High schools in Georgia increased from 167 in 1918

 to 345 in 1927 and the enrollment of pupils grew from 23,000 to 49,000, and the number of graduates from 3,600 to 9,500. 
Counties and districts are enabled to provide additional funds by local taxation with which to operate the schools for a longer term than the State funds provide for. 
Classes in Vocational Education, such as agricultural, home economics, and trades and industrial subjects, are being taught in many Georgia schools, the funds for same being provided by the State and National Government. The Smith-Hughes law which provides federal funds for Vocational education was sponsored in congress by United States Senator Hoke Smith and Congressman Dudley M. Hughes, both of Georgia. 
COLLEGES. 
STATE UNIVERSITY: The State University, of which Dr. C. M. Snelling is Chancellor, is located at Athens, and was chartered by the legislature in 1785, and is said to be the first State University chartered in the United States. It opened in 1803 with between 30 and 45 students enrolled. Several thousand students receive training each year at the University 
The University offers courses in the various arts and sciences, including pharmacy, journalism, agriculture, forestry, engineering etc. The Medical department of the University is located at Augusta. 
In addition to the regular term that extends from September to June, a Summer School is held at the University each year which is attended by thousands of students and teachers from over the State. 
^ STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE: The Georgia State College of Agriculture, which is an integral part of the University system of the State, is located at Athens, and as at present constituted, was organized in 1906, for the purpose of expanding agricultural education and training in farm subjects in the State. Dr. Andrew Soule is president of the college. 
Subjects pertaining to all phases of farm life in the State such as crops, soil, livestock, poultry, marketing, etc., are taught at

 the college. Farm agents receive training there, approximately 100 counties in the State employing Farm and Home Economics agents at present, who give general agricultural information to the farmers in the counties in which they are assigned. 
The State College holds institutes at the college and in various sections of the State during the year, and a radio lecture on some farm topic is broadcast each week day from Athens over W. S. B., the station of the Atlanta Journal. 
GEORGIA TECH: The Georgia School of Technology, which is located in Atlanta, was established in 1885, in order that the youth of the State might be given education and training in technical subjects. Dr. M. L. Brittain is president. 
Georgia Tech offers courses in general technical, engineering and mechanical subjects. Textile engineering is one of the main subjects taught, there being a great demand for men with such education and training since the south is becoming such a textile center. Electrical engineering is another course that is popular at Tech, following the power development in Georgia and other southern states. 
Realizing the possibilities of the clays of Georgia, a Department of Ceramics was organized at Tech several years ago, which is devoted to the development of the uses of Georgia clays.

CLUB WORK. 
An important work sponsored by the State College of Agriculture is the Boys and Girls 4-H-Heart, Head, Hands, Healthclubs in the State. The results obtained by these clubs members show the possibilities of diversified and intensified farming in Georgia. 
In 1927 there were enrolled 8,384 members in the girls club in 58 counties, which were organized into 539 groups. The value of the work of these clubs was estimated to be $652,860.00, which included the growing, selling and canning of vegetables and other foods. 
There were 13,134 boys enrolled in the boys clubs, who specialized in growing corn, cotton, potatoes, peanuts, pigs, chickens, dairy calves and sheep. The boys grew 409 pounds of lint cotton per acre as compared with the general farm average in the State of 154 pounds, while 53.58 bushels of corn were grown per acre as against a general State average of 14 bushels. Frank Crew, of Paulding county, grew 182 bushels of corn on one acre. Ninety odd bushels of sweet potatoes were grown by the club boys as compared with the State average of 80 bushe's per acre.

FARM CLUB WORK. 
"Nothing about the activities of the farm has impressed me more than the work of the training of the youth of the farm, through boys and girls clubs, for the places they are to fill in their country's future. These young men and women are the most important products of the American farm. Let me join you in the hope and faith that the boys and girls, your jewels, will take the burdens where we lay them down, and carry them forward with courage and fortitude in the interest of our whole people and to the glory of Him who rules over the destinies of nations."--General John J. Pershing. 
TELEPHONES. 
Rural telephones are increasing rapidly in Georgia, there being 18,600 on Georgia farms, which enable the farmers to keep in constant touch with the outside world and also to get quick information as to the market quotations on products. The telephone is also largely used in selling and routing shipments of produce, especially perishable fruits. 
There are approximately 169,465 telephones in the State, 136,964 of which are owned by the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company, the remaining 32,501 being operated by local lines. There is a complete network of telephone lines over the State ,. which enables local connection to be made easily. 
There are 470,403 miles of wire and 4,644 miles of poles in the Southern Bell system in the State. Frequent use of the telephone in Georgia is indicated by the fact that there were 371, 500,000 local calls and 4,121,490 long distance calls made over the Southern Bell lines in the State during 1927.

 STONE MOUNTAIN. 
DeKalb county, Georgia, possesses the largest solid rock in the world, which has been termed the "Eighth Wonder of the World"--Stone Mountain, upon which is being carved the huge Confederate Memorial. 
This mountain of solid granite is 700 feet higher than the surrounding country, which is 1,200 feet above sea-level, thus the top of Stone Mountain is approximately 2,000 feet high. It is seven miles around the mountain and 563 acres of granite show above ground and altogether it contains more than seven billion cubic feet of granite, which if sold at prevailing prices would bring more than five billion dollars. The entire mountain includes 2,200 acres of land. This mammoth rock is not in a mountainous section, but is in a farming country. 
This monolith which juts up out of the ground like a huge boulder, surrounded by farming land which extends to its very base on all sides, presents a scene unequaled in the world and has long been the center of interest of scientists and geologists. The east, south and west sides are generally sloping, and may be climbed, but the north side presents a sheer precipice several hundred feet high. 
It is on the bold relief of the sheer north side that the Confederate Memorial is being carved, the central group of which will be equestrian figures of Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis. The figures of General Lee, which is being completed first, including his horse, "Traveler," is 130 feet in length. General Lee's head is 18 feet long and the horse alone is 95 feet high. 
Other figures representing the Confederate Army and a Memorial Hall are also planned as part of the Memorial, the funds for which are, in part, being obtained from the sale of a special Stone Mountain Memorial coin, a 50-cent piece, which was authorized by Congress. 
The mountain is composed of an even-textured medium-grained muscovite granite adapted to all kinds of structural and street construction. Quarries located at the sloping base of the mountain ship the granite to all parts of the United States. 
Springs at the base of the mountain afford drinking water and thousands of picknickers visit the spot each year, especially in summer.

  HIGHWAYS. 
Following the general use of motor vehicles, Georgia realized the importance of improved roads and the General Assembly in 1919 created the State Highway Department, which is engaged in building a system of highways over the State from countyseat to county-seat. 
There are 7,048 miles in the State aid road system and the amount of money spent by the Highway Department since itsorganization through 1927 totals $58,945,515.95, according te the report of the department which also stated that there had been "constructed in round numbers 4,000 miles of roads, of which 1,211 miles have been paved." A total of 145,957 lineal feet, or 27.6 miles of bridges have also been built by the Department, the report says. 
The work of the Highway Department is divided into nine divisions over the State with headquarters in each and with offices in Atlanta and shops and offices in East Point. 
The roads are built with funds furnished by the State, counties and the federal government, the State funds being derived from the sale of motor vehicular license tags and from part of the tax on gasoline sold in the State. The funds available for highway construction in Georgia are increasing each year, the total amount spent by the Highway Department in 1927 being $13, 624,600.09, according to its report filed in January 1928. 
AUTOMOBILES. The number of motor vehicles operated in Georgia is increasing rapidly each year, 262,602 passenger cars, 38,133 trucks and 792 motorcycles being registered in 1927 the license fees totaling $3,712,978.42. Indications are that the number of passenger cars operating in the State during 1928 will total more than 300,000' there being a big gain in tags bought during the first three months of 1928 over the same period last year. 
STEAMSHIP LINES. Huge ocean liners and smaller craft operate on regular schedule to and from Georgia ports, particularly Savannah and Brunswick, and traffic is heavy on these vessels which afford Georgia, citizens an opportunity to take an ocean voyage when desired. Georgians from all over the State patronize these steamers.

 RAILROADS. 
Georgia is traversed by forty-eight steam railroads, the total number of miles being 7,049. This State stands twelfth among all the States in the Union in railroad mileage, and is second in the south, being exceeded only by Texas. 
The railroad building period began in Georgia between 1830 and 1840, the Georgia road from Augusta to Decatur and Atlanta and the Central from Savannah to Macon being among the first roads in the State to be put into operation. After about 1845 railroad building became active in Georgia, and as the State grew in population and industry other lines were built and today almost every county in the State is traversed by a railroad. 
Ten trunk lines operate in Georgia as follows: Atlanta & West Point, Atlanta, Birmingham and Coast, Atlantic Coast Line, Central of Georgia, Georgia Railroad, Georgia and Florida, Louisville & Nashville, Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis which is the lessee of the Western & Atlantic, State-owned road, extending from Atlanta to Chattanooga; Seaboard Air Line, and Southern, including the Georgia, Southern and Florida road. 
A number of railroads operating in Georgia maintain agricultural departments and employ farm experts to aid in developing the lands through which the roads pass. 
The Georgia Public Service Commission, created by the State legislature of 1878-9, has supervision over all common carriers in the State. 
The Western and Atlantic Railroad, extending from Atlanta to Chattanooga, was built by the State of Georgia from 1837 to 1851 and is leased to the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway for annual rental of $540,000.00. The property is estimated to be worth $25,000,000.00. 
MAIL FACILITIES. 
Georgia is well equipped with mail facilities, the counties of the State being literally honey-combed with rural mail routes. There are 1,580 rural mail routes in Georgia, served by 1,579 carriers. The total length of the routes is 49,420 miles, the number of families served being 306,511. The number of pieces of

Thus it will be seen that practically every farmer in the State Is served every week-day with mail service and the large number of pieces of mail handled by the carriers indicates that the farmers are taking full advantage of his mail facilities by subscribing to agricultural and other papers. 
Interest in the rural free delivery of mail in Georgia is heightened by the fact that a Georgian, the late Thomas E. Watson is credited with being the father of the rural mail service to the farmers, it being claimed that he, while a member of congress in 1893 secured an appropriation to experiment with the "free delivery of mail to the people living in the country." It is also claimed that the first rural free delivery route in the United States was established at Quitman, Ga. and that J. E. Ponder was the first carrier. 
BUS ROUTES. With the development of the automotive industry and the building of a system of State highways, an almost complete network of motor busses now operate throughout Georgia, especially from city to city. The railroads are also beginning to operate busses over the highways, especially for short distances. More than 600 school busses also operate in Georgia, transporting pupils to consolidated schools. Coaches are also used to supplement trolley service in cities. In addition to the passenger and school busses, many motor trucks operate in the State, carrying produce, poultry and dairy products to the cities for the farmers and in turn convey supplies to the farmers. Many large firms in the various cities of the State operate fleets of trucks for interurban hauling 
HENRY FORD. Henry Ford has signified his belief in the value of Georgia soil by becoming a large landowner in this State. He owns 9,000 acres of land in Bryan county on the Ogeechee River and about 25 miles from Savannah. Experiments in growing a variety of foods will be undertaken on the Ford farm, his representatives announce. It has reported that he may experiment in growing trees for rubber there also. Mr. Ford pays annual visits to his Georgia farm.

 GAME AND FISH. 
Hunting and fishing have been popular sports in Georgia ever since the State was founded in 1733, the game that roamed in the primeval forests and the fish found in abundance in the coast waters and inland streams, contributing the principal food for the first settlers until crops were raised. 
In order, however, that the game and fish of the State might be protected to a certain extent, and that game especially should not be entirely killed out, the Georgia legislature in 1924-5 created the State Game and Fish Department, which consists of three members who are given general supervision over the Department. 
A law was also passed regulating fishing and hunting. There are also laws regulating the open and closed season for hunting. 
Georgia also has many fur-bearing animals and during the trapping season, more than one million dollars worth of hides and furs are shipped annually by trappers, the principal animals caught for this purpose being mink, otter, beaver, bear, muskrat, raccoon, opossums, wildcat and skunks. All trappers are required to secure a license to trap animals and to deal in hides and furs, these licenses bringing about $10,000.00 annually to the State. 
The fishing industry on the coast of Georgia gives employment to approximately 7,000 persons and the products are valued at from eight to ten million dollars annually. Fish, shrimp for canning, oysters and crabs are the principal products taken from the coast waters. 
The game department reports that a survey shows that there are more game birds and animals in all sections of Georgia than in many years past, due to the excellent breeding seasons and to the strict observance of the closed season for hunting. 
The most popular sport in Georgia is quail shooting, the open season extending from November 20 to March 1 each year. The bag limit being 20 in one day. Dove and duck shooting is also popular with huntsmen. 
The United States Government maintains a fish hatchery at Warm Springs in Meriwether county and another is being established near Valdosta, Grassy Lake, having been purchased for that purpose. Many large lakes and many ponds created by power projects are all stocked with fish.

 CHURCHES. 
Religious freedom is exercised generally in Georgia, there being churches in all communities. Many of the early settlers of the State came here in order that they might worship according to the dictates of their own conscience and as a result many denominations are represented in the State. 
In many of the rural communities the schools and churches are located on the same grounds, each forming a unit of community interest. Many beautiful church edifices are found in all sections of the State, both in the country and in the towns and cities. 
CITIES AND TOWNS. 
Georgia is honeycombed with cities and towns. The State contains 161 counties and each has one or more cities. Each city and town form a nucleus for business enterprises, thereby creating markets for the farmers' products. 
Atlanta, the capital of the State, with a population of 250,000 is the largest city in Georgia. It is known as the "Gate City of the South," many railroads and highways entering the south passing through Atlanta. It is a large manufacturing center, leading all cities in the south annually in the value of manufactured products. Atlanta has many large office buildings and is headquarters for numbers of firms doing business in the southeastern states. A total of 146 passenger trains run in and out of Atlanta daily on 15 main lines and 343,753 freight cars are loaded or unloaded annually in that city. 
Savannah is the second largest city in the State and besides being Georgia's leading port, many manufacturing plants are located there. Truck farming, dairying and poultry raising are followed by Savannah and Chatham county farmers, who ship, much early truck to the eastern markets. Savannah is a city of much historic interest, being laid out in 1733 by Oglethorpe, founder of the State. 
Macon, in middle Georgia, is a railroad and manufacturing center. Located near extensive clay mines, brick, tile and other clay products are manufactured there, as are many textile goods. A fine farming and fruit area surrounds Macon. Two leading

 educational institutions, Wesleyan College and Mercer University, are located at Macon. 
Augusta, on the Savannah river on the east side of the State, has many manufacturing plants, textiles, clay products, tile, brick, etc., lumber, cotton seed products, etc. are manufactured in large quantities. The largest silk-throwing mill in the south and the largest cotton waste mill in the United States are in Augusta. This city is a popular winter resort, several large tourist hotels operating there during the winter. 
Columbus, on the Chattahoochee river on the west side of the State is a manufacturing center, being its said, the second largest textile manufacturing city in the south, having more than a half million spindles. Much power has been developed on the Chattahoochee river at Columbus. There are also many brick, iron and woodworking plants there. Fort Benning, a government reservation of several thousand acres, is located at Columbus. 
Other cities include Athens, the educational center; Albany, pecan center; Brunswick, an important port; LaGrange, textile manufacturing point; Rome, an educational and manufacturing city; Valdosta, Americus, Cordele, Dublin and Tifton, each located in a fine farming section; Waycross, where extensive railroad shops are located; Moultrie, the home of the Swift Packe ing plant, which slaughters 150,000 hogs each year; Thomasville, popular winter resort; Griffin, which has many manufacturing plants and is in the center of the pimiento pepper industry. 
RESORTS. 
Georgia is an admirable resort State in both winter and summer. The coast section, where "Ocean breezes blow," affords an ideal place to spend the summer, Tybee and St. Simons Islands having excellent beaches and are popular during the warm weather for vacationists. Many homes are maintained on the coast islands both winter and summer. Jekyl and Cumberland islands are owned by eastern capitalists who spend the winter there. 
Augusta, Thomasville, Savannah, Brunswick and other Georgia cities have resort hotels which are thronged during the winter by tourists seeking a mild climate. A large area around Thomasville is owned by wealthy citizens of other states, their plan-

into retreats for tourists, vacationists and others who seek the cool summer breezes. This section is traversed by a system of roads which makes it accessible, the streams and lakes are stocked with fish, and withal, the mountains of north Georgia divide interest with the coast resorts as an ideal place to spend the summer. Georgia mountain scenery compares favorably with that of any State in the Union. 
A number of resorts, such as Warm Springs, Indian Springs, which is owned by the State, White Sulphur Springs, Cloudland Park, Skywater Park, and others are also popular and draw throngs during the year. 
North Georgia from the Clayton area on the east across the State to the Lookout Mountain section in the northwestern part of the State is developing into a tourist center. 
GEORGIA FABRIC USED IN LINDBERGH'S PLANE. 
FROM THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION. 
Among the records being established by textile industries of Georgia, one not to be overlooked is revealed in the reports tracing a textile product used in construction of Lindbergh's famous Spirit of St. Louis to a Georgia mill, according to a statement made by T. M. Forbes, secretary of the Cotton Manufacturers' Association of Georgia. 
When the parts that composed the plant of the world's most celebrated aviator, which is known as the mechanical half of the "We", were traced to their sources, it was found that the cotton fabric base from which the artificial leather that covered the upholstering of Lindbergh's plane was made, was a product of the Manchester Cotton Mills, Manchester, Ga. Mr. Forbes said, The Manchester Mills is a unit of the Callaway mills. 
Mount Airy in Habersham county, with an elevation of 1,614feet, is the highest point on the Southern railroad between New Orleans and Washington, D. C. 
Wilkinson county is said to contain enough clay to supply needs of this nation for 600 years.

 PORTS 
Georgia has two ports of major importance, Savannah and Brunswick, and the value of the exports from the State each year totals more than one hundred million dollars. The exports from Georgia ports in 1926 were valued at $114,004,373.00 and the imports at $19,489,000.00. 
Cotton leads in the export items from Georgia with rosin second and turpentine third. Other items exported include cotton goods, lumber, machinery, tobacco, fruits, cotton seed products and fish. Jute and burlap form the largest import items, along with much raw material and finished articles from foreign countries. 
Savannah is a landlocked harbor on the Savannah River, 18 miles from the Atlantic ocean. Vessels drawing 31 feet and up to 500 feet in length can enter the harbor with ease. Steamships make regular sailings from this harbor. 
About one million bales of cotton are shipped annually from Savannah, more than from any other Atlantic port and this city is the leading naval stores export city in the world. 
During 1927 a total of 1,205 vessels entered the Savannah harbor, an average of more than 100 each month. The total tonnage for the year was 3,544,498, an average of 295,375 tons per month. 
Brunswick has a natural landlocked harbor of 31 square miles area, with approximately 40 miles of water frontage, five miles of which has docks and wharves. The depth of the water over the bar is 34 feet at mean high tide and the channel entrance is more than 500 feet wide, permitting vessels to enter the harbor under their own steam. Brunswick has 15 wharves and docks and the tonnage of the vessels entering the port runs into the millions each year, cotton, naval stores, and lumber etc, making up the cargoes. 
Many imports are unloaded at Brunswick and steamships make regular calls there. 
Georgia has all-year ports, being free from congestion due to ice and snow. 
Smaller ports on the Georgia coast include Darien and St Marys from which a number of smaller craft, such as fishing vessels, operate.

 HEALTH 
Georgia has shown the lowest death rate of any State east of the Mississippi river since 1922, the death rate for 1927 being only 9.9 per thousand, a drop of 52 per cent as compared with 1911, according to the State Health Department. 
This rate is much lower than the national average for several years. In 1922 the death rate in the United States was 11.8, in 1923 it was 12.3 and in 1924, the latest figures available, the national rate was 11.8. 
Georgia's infant mortality rate was lower in 1927 than in any previous year recorded in the State, being also one point lower per thousand than the 1925 rate in the United States registration area, the latest available figures. 
The State has a vital statistics law and has been admitted into the registration area of the United States for births and deaths. 
Approximately 25 counties in the State have full-time health physicians and the State Board of Health operates a healthmobile, a gift of the Phi Mu Sorority, and conducts diagnostic clinics in rural sections of the State. 
The Health Board also maintains a laboratory and manufactures vaccines and antitoxins for the prevention and cure of diseases. It also examines the drinking water of wells and streams and waterworks generally over the State. 
TAXES. 
The ad valorem tax system prevails in Georgia, that is taxes are levied on a property assessment. The county rate is set by the Board of County Commissioners after a budget for the year is prepared. The rate for the State funds levied in a county is limited to five mills and is always included in the total levymade in each county. 
The assessment for all classes of property in 1927 in the State was $1,275,000,000.00 Realestate, city and town, was assessed at $449,000,000.00, or 35 per cent of the total, while farm lands, were valued at $301,000,000.00 or 24 per cent of the total. Manufacturing plants, public utilities and other industries made up the remainder of the subjects.

 STRONG FINANCIALLY. 
Georgia has adequate banking facilities, there being 466 banks, both State and National, doing business in the State on January 1, 1928, with total deposits of $392,768,643.40 and resources of $492,498,879.35. 
There were 383 State banks, branches and trust companies, with resources of $202,659,879.35 and deposits of $150,805,643.40, while the 83 National banks showed resources of $289,839,000.00 and deposits of $241,963,000.00. 
That Georgia people are thrifty is indicated by the fact that of the total deposits, $151,758,458.00 were in savings' accounts. 
Every county in the State has a bank located in it, or is accessible to banking facilities. The State banks are under the supervision of the State Banking Department. 
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, with branches in Birmingham, Ala. Jacksonville, Fla., Nashville, Tenn., and New Orleans, La., serves the Sixth Federal Reserve district which is comprised of the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia and parts of Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee. Eugene Black is governor of the bank. 
PUBLICATIONS. 
There are more publications issued in Georgia than any State in the southeast, there being approximately 25 daily and 200 weekly newspapers printed in the State and in addition, every major industry has a class journal. Periodicals devoted to agriculture and a number of trade papers are also printed in the State. 
Atlanta has 64 publications which are read by more than 2,000, 000 people. There are 80 commercial printing plants in Atlanta alone with a proportionate number in other cities in the State. 
Excellent mail facilities enable Georgia farmers and others to receive daily and other publications promptly. 
MILITARY. 
Three large Military forts are located in Georgia--Fort Oglethorpe, in north Georgia, Fort McPherson at Atlanta, and Fort Benning, at Columbus. The Georgia National Guard is made up of military units over the State and is composed of 3,500 enlisted men, commanded by 250 officers.

 MARKETING 
Marketing, without a doubt, is largely the key to successful farming in Georgia and much progress has been made toward finding a ready market for the farmers' products. The Bureau of Markets of the Georgia Department of Agriculture employs a staff of marketing experts who are rendering great aid to Georgia farmers in selling their produce. These men go all over the State and help in conducting sales of produce offered in car lots, such as poultry, hogs, cattle, eggs, corn, etc. These sales are conducted, usually, in co-operation with the County Agent and the farmers. 
In addition to the sales made out in the State, the marketing experts also make many sales in the office by personal calls on the trade, by use of the mails, telephone and telegraph lines. More than eleven hundred carloads of farm products that brought more than one million dollars were sold through the Market Bureau for Georgia farmers from July 1927 through March 1928. 
In addition, sales totaling thousands of dollars each month are made through ads published in the Market Bulletin, which is issued each week by the Market Bureau, the ads being printed free for the farmers. 
Many farm products are sold co-operatively, such as cotton, peaches, pecans, apples, melons, syrup and many vegetables. 
There are a number of co-operative marketing bodies that handle many Georgia products each year, which are doing much to establish the co-operative marketing system in the State. Included in these are the Georgia Cotton Growers Co-Operative Association; the Georgia Peach Growers Exchange; the Sowega Melon Growers Association; the Consolidated Apple Growers Exchange; the National Pecan Exchange; the Southern Pecan Exchange, the Paper Shell Pecan Growers Association; the Georgia Cane Growers Co-operative Association. There are also organizations in the State that handle co-operatively many other fruits and vegetables. 
Correct grading and attractive packing of products are also factors that are aiding the farmers to receive the highest market price for their products. 
Of a total population of 2,895,000 in Georgia in 1920, only 10,186 were of foreign birth.

 GEORGIA 
By T. M. Linder. We people who share the great honor so rare As in Georgia to have been born Should always take glory in telling the story That her pages of history adorn. Both tree and vine in Georgia clime With cows and hogs and mill and mine Producing wealth and health and ease Without extremes of heat or freeze. In every nook with map and book Our children learn of the things it took To make old Georgia the Empire State And we invite others to come and not to wait. 
COTTON GIN PERFECTED IN GEORGIA. 
Eli Whitney, a native of Massachusetts, while visiting the home of the widow of Nathaniel Greene, near Savannah, in 1793, perfected the Cotton Gin after making a study of the needs of a machine that would separate the lint from the seed, which had been done exclusively by hand until that time. 
The first gin was a simple arrangement of cylinders, saws and brushes and one man could gin more cotton in one day with it than he could pick out by hand in a whole winter. Thus the invention of the cotton gin had great effect on the increase of cotton planting in the South. 
Whitney died in New Haven, Connecticut in January 1825. 
Mrs. Rebecca Latimer Felton was the first woman to serve as a member of the United States Senate, she being appointed to that office in 1922 by Governor Thos. W. Hardwick to succeed the late Senator Thomas E. Watson. She was succeeded by Senator Walter F. George. 
Senator Augustus O. Bacon, of Georgia, was the first United States Senator to be elected by a direct vote of the people after that plan was adopted by Congress, substituting their election by the legislature in each State. 
The "Savannah," a 350 ton steamship sailed from Savannah on May 24, 1819 and 26 days later reached Liverpool, being the first steamship to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

 OKEFENOKEE SWAMP. 
Rivaling in interest the Dismal Swamp of Virginia and the Everglades of Florida, the Okefenokse Swamp in Georgia shares fame with Stone Mountain as a natural wonder of the State. Occupying sections of three south Georgia counties, Charlton, Ware and Clinch, and parts of northern Florida counties, and covering an area of approximately 500,000 acres, this swamp is the largest fresh water swamp east of the Mississippi river, with the exception of the Everglades. It is about 40 miles long and 26 miles wide, with the line separating Georgia and Florida running through it. 
Two rivers, the St. Marys and the Suwanee, the latter famed in the song, "Down Upon the Suwanee Ribber", have their source in the swamp and in the wealth of its historic associations, the beauty of its scenery and the richness and diversity of its plant,, animal and bird life, it has no counterpart in America. 
THE FARMER BY HENRY W. GRADY 
When every farmer in Geo gia shall eat bread from his own fields and meat from his own pasture, and disturbed by no creditor and enslaved by no debt, shall sit amid his teeming gardens and orchards and vineyards and dairies and barnyards, pitching his crops in his own wisdom and growing them in independence, making cotton his clean surplus, and selling it in his own time, and his chosen markets, and not at a master's bidding--getting his pay in cash and not in a receipted mortgage that discharges his debt, but does not restore his freedom--then shall be the breaking cf the fullness of the farmers' day. 
GEOI1GIA LAUDED. 
"During my connection with the farmers' union work I have been in every State in the Union, with the possible exception of Vermont, and in most of them many times, and I give it as my calm, carefully weighed judgment that Georgia is the best the greatest and most promising State on the North American continent."--Chas. S. Barrett, President of National Farmers Union.

 COW, HOG AND HEN PROGRAM. The Cow, Hog and Hen program of farming was started in Turner County in 1922 following the invasion of that section by boll weevils and has not only spread to all sections of Georgia but throughout the south as well. This plan simply means that a diversified plan of farming is followed whereby attention is given to having more cows, hogs and poultry upon the farms. As a result of the success of this plan many purebred cows have been placed on Georgia farms and the dairy industry has grown rapidly, much cream and milk being sold daily and the number of hogs on Georgia farms has shown a large increase during the last few years, thousands being sold each year. The poultry industry has grown to such proportions that there are more than 100 commercial hatcheries in the state and eggs and chickens are sold in car load lots, pick-up cars being operated throughout the state. Adoption of the Cow, Hog and Hen plan has not only revolutionized Georgia farming but the large increases in the number of livestock on the farms has been a great aid in soil improvement. The Georgia Association of which F. H. Abbot is Secretary has done much to promote the Cow, Hog and Hen plan of farming in the state.

 OPINIONS OF GEORGIA BY ADOPTED CITIZENS. 
Georgia is not only proclaimed a great State by its native citizens, but it is also highly lauded by a number of persons who have moved here from other states, their opinion of Georgia being printed herewith: 
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, of New York, owner of Warm Springs,: 
'I happen to have the good fortune to know almost every State in the Union, and I am very certain that not one of them holds within itself a greater future than the State of Georgia 
"I am attracted to Georgia for many reasons which may be summarized under four heads: Climate, Natural resources Its people, Its future. The nation is coming to understand that Georgia, a sleeping giant, is awakening, and that opportunity knocks at the door. In material development, the field is both industrial and agricultural. Manufactures are increasing and will, we hope, become more and more diversified. Farming also is tending to greater diversification and this should continue in view of the simple fact that almost every known crop can be successfully cultivated in Georgia. 
"It is also true that more and more people every year from the north and from the west are discovering the delights of the winter climate of Georgia-not too hot and not too cold." 
EX-GOVERNOR CHASE S. OSBORN, of Michigan, who has a home near Poulan in Worth county 
"Having seen all the earth and every place thought to be attractive in winter it was easy to discover the advantages and attractions in South Georgia. There is a tranquil 
jT,anibeaUty that SCarCe,y exists elsewh-e. It is one of the healthiest regions of the earth. There is none of the enervations of a warmer climate nor any of the dangerously exacting

 COLONEL TILLINGHAST L. HUSTON, eminent engineer owner of Butler and Champney island off the Georgia coast, and former owner of the New York Yankee baseball team, who is reclaiming thousands of abandoned rice fields along the Georgia coast near Brunswick tells of his experience in truck growing on some of his land: 
"On some of the acres, there were raised 400 hampers of cucumbers, 300 crates of peppers, 325 hampers of egg-plant, 250 crates of tomatoes, 400 hampers of radishes, 40 barrels of Irish potatoes, 350 hampers of beans, and 250 hampers of beets, all of which sold for good prices. This means a gross of about $1,000.00 an acre f. o. b. New York or about $500.00 an acre f. o. b. Brunswick. 
"The attractive and outstanding features of our Georgia project are these: First, the high natural fertility of the soil, and second, the magnificient natural irrigation and drainage faci- 
lities." Colonel Huston has just set out 2,000 Satsuma orange trees 
on his islands. 
HOWARD E. COFFIN, automobile manufacturer of Detroit, also has extensive interests in Georgia, being the owner of Sapelo Island, off the Brunswick Coast. He owns a palatial home on the island and is interested in several big developments in the Brunswick area. 
MISS JEANETTE RANKIN, of Montana, first woman in the United States to be elected a member of Congress, who now lives on a farm near Athens says: 
"Peace and freedom are what I came to Georgia to find and they are what I have found on a 65 acre farm near Athens. I am satisfied with my farm". 
H. H. KEITH, who moved to Jenkins county from Indiana, reports the following results from one month's operation of his poultry farm:

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR: "Georgia is a joyous State in which to live, a promising State in which to do business. The State is thriving, growing and progressing in all that constitutes true progress. Its countryside, no longer given over to the cultivation of cotton alone, presents a smiling succession of profitable crops. With a population overwhelmingly AngloSaxon in character and with natural advantages and resources second to none, Georgia faces the future with calm confidence, even as she points to her past serene pride." 
A. M. APPLEBY, who moved to near Cartersville from Wissin: "I found the people here very friendly and congenial. 
"I found business of all classes prospering, plenty of money, and have not heard any one crying hard times. 
"I have been looking over the farming country here and found the farmer in a prosperous condition. 
"I find that farming land here will produce abundantly, and I believe at the low cost of farms here that farming can be made a great success. 
"I being from Wisconsin and having had a wide experience in dairying, I believe that the State of Georgia has untold possibilities in the production of butter, cheese, cattle, hogs and poultry, and anyone wishing to take up such an operation will make no mistake in this State." 
Georgia industries consume more than 1,500,000 tons of coal each year. 
A total of 217 bushels of corn has been grown on one acre of land in Georgia and more than 90 counties have produced as much as 100 bushels to the acre. 
A Georgia Jersey cow has produced 777 pounds of butter in 365 days.

 GRADY'S TRIBUTE TO COTTON. 
"Not the fleeces that Jason sought can rival the richness of this plant, as it unfurls its banners in our fields. It is gold from the instant it puts forth its tiny shoots. The shower that whispers to it is heard around the world. The trespass of a worm on its green leaves means more to England than the advance of the Russians on her Asiatic outposts. The utmost missionary woos the heathen with a cotton shirt in one hand and the Bible in the other, and no savage, I believe, has ever been converted to one without adopting the other. It peeps from the satchel of every business and religious evangelist that trots the globe. Its fiber is current in every bank. The dominion of our King is established, and princely revenue assured, not for a year, but for all time. It is the heritage that God gave us when He arched our skies, established our mountains, girded us with the ocean, tempered the sunshine and measured the rain--ours and our children's forever"--Henry W. Grady. 
"GEORGIA: A great State to work for, my countrymen; a great State to live for; a great State to die for, and be buried in her soil"--Ex-Governor Nat E. Harris. 
Eighty four counties and 188 cities and towns have voted to exempt from taxation for a period of five years all new manufacturing plants. 
Out of 161 counties, in Georgia, 149 have power service, only 12 being without electricity. A total of 370 cities and towns in the State are using electricity. 
It is estimated that there are 96,000 radio sets in Georgia homes, and that approximately a half million people in the State listen over the radio each day. 
Nearly 1,000,000 tons of sand are produced in Georgia each year, the value of which is set at a half million dollars 
Some purebred hens in Georgia lay more than 300 eggs during a year's time.

 FOREWARD 
For several years there has been an insistent and increasing demand for county agricultural statistics. Appreciating the need of this basic information, we are presenting county estimates for as many items as it has been possible for us to prepare with our limited facilities for such work. The need of county statistics in more detail, including yield per acre and total production estimates, is fully realized and we hope that provision will be made for a more complete and thorough county program within the next few months. 
The State and County figures contained herein are, for the most part, estimates based upon reports supplied by several thousand regular and special crop reporters. Most of these reporters are farmers, serving without cash remuneration, and much credit is due them and other reporters for their conscientious assistancein this work. Without their public-spirited co-operation, county statistics would have been entirely impossible. 
The county statistics should be accepted for what they are: namely, the best information it has been possible to obtain. No claim is made to absolute exactness, although the estimates are sufficiently accurate for most purposes of study and comparison. All agencies interested in agriculture are invited to co-operate with us in perfecting these estimates. 
All State figures in the following tables are the official statistics of the United States Department of Agriculture, the statistician in charge of this service being also in charge of crop and livestock estimate work of the United States Department in this State. As to the accuracy of the Georgia State reports, they are usually within a few per cent of the exact truth. For six consecutive years the final estimates of the Georgia cotton crop have been within about one per cent of the amount actually ginned, as reported by the Census, and last year the estimate and ginnings were practically identical. 
Monthly reports are issued on crops and livestock and may be obtained free upon application.

 TOBACCO Tobacco grown commercially in the State of Georgia may be classified into three types: First, "shade tobacco", or wrapper tobacco, U. S. Type Number 62, 
 
grown in the southern parts of Grady and Decatur counties; second, Sun Sumatra, or "filler" tobacco, U. S. Type Number 45, grown in the same territory; third, and most important, is the "bright leaf", flue cured tobacco, U. S. Type Number 
 
14, now grown throughout most of southern Georgia. The acreage of bright tobacco has increased tremendously during recent years and it is one of the principal cash crops grown in the State. This type now constitutes about 99% of our total tobacco acreage. 
The annual report of bright tobacco warehouse sales, and county acreage 
 
estimates for all types appear in other parts of this booklet.
