EORGIA AFFORDS EXCEPTIONAL and

UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY to the invest-

ment of intelligent, personal effort, or of

wisely placed capital-either or both.

Without going into comparisons, I may

say it is my belief, based on a consideration

of conditions in Georgia and elsewhere in

the United States, that no section, where-

soever located, offers better advantages,

Hugh M. DorseJ}
Go"'ernor of Geor~ia

either natural or artificial, than Georgia has given and will give today, to the man of energy and determination.

Where you can merely scratch our soil and get one dollar, you

can put a little capital and energy into it and get FIVE.

We have the mines, enriched by nature; you have only to come and dig out the ore. Your return will be commensurate with your investment of intelligent effort.

Citizens from other sections have come among us and made many thousands-in some cases, even millions-from her power, her fields, her mines and her forests.

With the same investment, the same determination to win, like returns await YOU.

Georgia cordially invites you to- C 0 M E.

GRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT andagricultural prosperity-is what I desire to see most in Georgia, and next to that the upbuilding of manufactures and industries in other lines.

With the first assured, I know the second is bound to come-it is inevitable. So that the more we devote ourselves to agricultural progress, the greater and the stronger and the wealthier we shall grow along all lines of industry and endeavor.

J. J. Broum

There are two ways in which this agri-

Commi.rsioner of Airiculture cultural growth can be brought about, and

they are equally important. One of these

is the gradual elimination of the tenant class by making it possible

for them to become owners in their own right of the land they cul-

tivate. I am extremely anxious to see progress made in this direc-

tion, because I know it will mean both better production and better

living conditions for our people.

The other way is by inviting to come and join us citizens of other states who are willing to come here and invest and work. For these Georgia offers unlimited opportunity-limited, in any event, only by their own effort and capability.

To all of you of other climes who read this booklet, Georgia cordially invites you to come and share in the unlimited wealth that lies within her soil.

Georgia in 1919
The Field of Opportunity
lfo5~~1i1EORGIA is your opportunity. It is to the ambitious man of today what the Golden West was to the pioneer of 1849. It is more. No uncertainty faces the agricultural, industrial or business prospector in Georgia. He will take out gold in proportion to his energy, labor, capital, or all three. This booklet proposes to tell you what Georgia is today. From general facts, backed by official statistics, you can form your own judgment as to its future-
a.;;;~~;;;:, and as to the future you can make for yourself as a citizen of the State.
History is not the function of this story. Georgia, the heart of The New South, cherishes her traditions; but she does not live in the past. Georgia works and builds for the day and for the morrow.
It is a highly developed State; yet nearly two-thirds of its vast cultivable acreage remains undeveloped. That is because of its great size. Georgia is the largest State east of the Mississippi River; it contains 59,475 square miles, and only about 12,000,000 of its 34,000,000 acres of tillable soil are under cultivation.
UNCLE SAM'S JUDGMENT.
Yet Georgia has attained fourth place among the agricultural States. Only Illinois, Iowa and Texas lead it in the total annual value of farm products. It is first in peaches. It is second only to Texas, the largest State in the Union, in the production of cotton. Its importance in live stock and poultry raising is increasing every day.
These are the broad general facts, given only for the purpose of sketching a background for the details and figures contained in this booklet.
Hear what the United States Railroad Administration has said of Georgia as it is today:
"No stronger endorsement of Georgia's climate and sanitary conditions could possibly be found than the action of the War De-
5

partment in selecting so many (eleven) locations within the boundary of the State in which to train the new National Army; and the thousands of boys from the North, and hundreds of thousands of their relatives who visited them, both Winter and Summer, while they were located in Georgia camps, know at first hand what delightful weather the State enjoys.
GEORGIA'S WAR WORK.
"The War Department established Camps Gordon and Jessup at Atlanta, where Ft. McPherson has long been located; Camp Greenleaf was located at Chickamauga, where Ft. Oglethorpe has been for so many years; Camp Wheeler at Macon, Camp Hancock at Augusta, and Camp Benning at Columbus. Souther Field for the training of aviators was located at Americus, and Ft. Screven for many years has been a part of the Coast fortifications at Savannah. A Naval Air Training Camp for aviators was also established at Brunswick."
Georgia's great part in the World War doubtless will be the subject of a much larger volume than this one. She gave freely of her own sons and sinews of war. In 1917 and 1918 she raised the greatest food crops in her record; and now that the reconstruction of Peace has come she is doing her full share in helping to feed a war-hungered world.
DIVERSIFIED AGRICULTURE.
The war gave great impetus to the movement in Georgia for diversification and rotation of crops. While her importance as the second cotton-producing State has not diminished, Georgia is paying more attention to food crops. Fertile soil and a wonderful climate are doing the rest.
As high as $4,000 a year has been made from an intensively cultivated Georgia acre. And such land as you can buy in Georgia for $30 to $40 an acre you can not buy for less than $100 to $200 an acre in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
With this land you get a climate, in many sections, enabling you to harvest two crops a year. Some have raised even three. The growing realization of this fact is having its effect on farm land values, which are increasing steadily.

DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRY.
Georgia has more than 5,000 manufacturing establishments of various and many classifications. Nearly every important industry is represented in the list.
Millions of dollars worth of raw materials remain in the ground for future development. They are at the door of the manufacturer who locates here.
Both agriculture and industry are served by a network of 8,000 miles of railroads, which traverse every part of the State. Three important ports, Savannah, Brunswick and St. Mary's, are upon 170 miles of Atlantic Coast line. Georgia has all the benefits of the Panama Canal. The markets of the world are open to its producers.
INVESTMENTS IN GEORGIA.
You may care to invest capital, rather than labor or your time in business or industrial development. Georgia's mines contain incalculable wealth, ready for capital to aid its development. Its potentialities in the clay industry are superior to those of any other State.
A hundred business enterprises await your investment. Your capital put into Georgia land will be multiplied with the steady increase of land values.
Georgia's population passed the 3,000,000 mark this year. The State, shut off from the rest of the world, could sustain a population of more than 10,000,000.
WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE.
To satisfy you that it is worth your while decidedly to consider Georgia as your opportunity, let a few of the thousands who have already realized their opportunity in agriculture, give you their personal experiences.
Dan J. Baker, of Colquitt County, began farming ten years ago, when he was twenty, with no capital. His farming since then has enabled him to buy a 500-acre farm. In a year he grows 200 bales of cotton, 50 tons of hay, and 28 acres of sweet potatoes. He supplies cream to a creamery at Moultrie from 25 cows; in a winter he sells 100 hogs to a packing company and 15 beeves in the spring.

PAYS OFF $7,500 DEBT. W. S. Shepard, of Fort Valley, came from Chicago in 1901, bought 454 acres and assumed a debt of $7,500. Eight years later he wrote: "I have paid that debt, purchased over $2,500 of live stock and farm implements, have built barns and houses worth over $2,000. I live as well as I could live anywhere in the world, and it has all come out of the proceeds of my plantation." W. B. Richardson, of Baldwin County, began as a day laborer, saved and bought a small piece of land, and gradually acquired more from his profits. He now advances $15,000 annually to other farmers. He plants a general crop, and specializes in corn. J. B. Hunter, of Spalding County, who is the head of a large family, purchased 68 acres ten years ago at $33 an acre. On it he supported his family in comfort and the farm paid for itself in three years. He now has a splendid paying property, by practicing diversification and rotation of crops. J. J. Wilder, of Cordele, has become the largest producer of bees and honey in the South. He is unable to supply the demand. In one week he shipped three carloads.
DEVELOPMENT IS RAPID. H. L. Wade, of Coweta County, grows sorghum cane and uses a gasoline engine for grinding it. He makes 250 to 275 gallons of syrup from an acre of cane, and sells it at from 45 to 60 cents a gallon. These are only a few instances out of thousands. Conditions are better now than they were when these men began, for the resources of the State have been developed rapidly. The succeeding chapters will summarize this development for you in facts reinforced with maps and statistics.

Georgia's Climate
The Determining Factor
l"f.a~~~LIMATE largely determines living conditions everywhere on this planet. By living conditions is meant not mere physical comfort, but also conditions which conduce to material success and progress. You have been told that the Government placed eleven army training camps in Georgia mainly because of its climate. That is highly important-almost conclusive; but the prospective farmer wants to know more than that about it. Here are some outstanding
a.:;;;:=~~ facts, vouched for by the Government, which concern the farmer most of all:
The growing season in northern Georgia is 210 days, in central Georgia it is 230 days, and in the southern part of the State 260 days.
WEATHERISBALANCEn The average annual temperature in north Georgia is 52 degrees; the coldest mean temperature is 42 and the warmest 76. In central Georgia the annual average is 63; winter 47, summer 78. In south Georgia the annual average is 68; winter 55, summer 81. Rainfall for the year averages 51 inches. It is so evenly balanced with sunlight that two and three crops are possible where there can only be one in other States.

Georgia Cotton
The Second State in Output
if.E;;;i;;;oo OTTON, of course, remains the great staple crop of
Georgia. Greater diversification of crops need not displace its yield as second only to the larger State of Texas.
Cotton may be grown with approximately equal success in nearly any of the 152 counties, along Georgia's 320 miles of length and 254 miles of breadth.
This is shown, for example, by the fact that in Walker County, in the northern part of the State, the general average yield is about the same per acre as in Worth County, in the southern part; in Polk, in the north, the output is the same as in Pierce, in the south. In the northern section the growing season is shorter, but intensive cultivation adjusts the inequalities.
FOOD CROPS INCREASE. When the Government called for more food crops and a greater variety, Georgia showed what the State could do. During 1915-

Mrs. W. W. Monk, of SyltJBBter, Worth county, Georgia's champion cotton grower, ana the champion farmer of the Bouthea.~t.
16-17 Georgia produced MORE than during the three previous years, the annual increase being 22,897,000 bushels of corn, 19,321,000 bushels of oats, 4,676,000 bushels of wheat, 4,820,000 bushels of sweet potatoes and 584,000 tons of hay. At the same time she patriotically reduced her cotton crop by 1,302,000 bales.
Georgia produced in 1918, 2,100,000 bales on 5,338,000 acres, valued at $288,750,000, an average price of 271/2 cents a pound.
COTTON SEED INDUSTRY.
The importance of cotton by-production is shown by the additional revenue of $71,400,000, an average price of $68 a ton for 1,050,000 tons .of cotton seed.
"There is a local cash market for every pound of cotton that
can be grown," the Government points out. New settlers in Georgia, therefore, should grow cotton, not to
the exclusion of other crops, but as one of several.
15

It has been the experience of Northern farmers that they could grow and handle cotton with almost the same ease and facility with which they produce wheat, corn or other staple crops.
SEA ISLAND COTTON. Just as the United States has practically a monopoly of cotton production, so is Georgia by far the greatest producer of Sea Island, the highest grade of cotton. Nine-tenths of the area producing this long staple, finest texture, is in Georgia. It has taken years of intensive development and seed selection. The product is used in making thin fabrics, fine laces and synthetic silk. Output is increasing rapidly.
INCREASED PRODUCTION. In many sections of Georgia it is easy to raise two bales of cotton to the acre. As many as three and more have been achieved. And yet, only a few years ago, half a bale an acre was considered a fair yield. Only Massachusetts and the Carolinas manufacture more cotton than does Georgia. From 68 cotton mills with 817,345 spindles in 1900, to 165 mills with 2,160,571 spindles, and an annual consumption of 632,332 bales when the World War began, is the statistical story of Georgia's cotton manufacturing growth.

As a Corn State
Every County Grows It
I'Fo5~~;;1HE INDISPENSABLE GRAIN, CORN, may be successfully grown in every section of the State, at an average yield of 18 to 75 bushels an acre, depending on the kind of seed used and methods of cultivation. Usually this grain is planted in March. A late crop can easily be produced by planting between June 5th and 15th, on the grain stubble lands. The ninety-day varieties are preferable. The prospective dweller in Georgia usually asks: "Is it possible to produce corn in a large quantity per acre
in any section of the State?" Statistics show that it is. Twenty representative counties in the northern part of the State
produced last year 8,126,000 bushels, an average per county of 406,300.
Twenty middle counties produced 12,528,000 bushels, an average per county of 626,400 bushels.
Twenty southern counties produced 16,860,000 bushels, an average of 843,000 bushels per county.
And 1918 was not considered a good year for corn. The total production for the State was 68,850,000 bushels on 4,100,000 acres, as compared with 39,000,000 bushels in 1909.

Oats and Wheat
Profitable in Georgia
lf.Q~~ii'IATS CAN BE GROWN as a full money crop anywhere in the State. The preferred time for planting is September, October and the first half of November. Spring oats are planted in February. They are less desirable because they are lighter than autumn oats. Production ranges from 20 to 60 bushels an acre. In many instances 100 bushels an acre have been harvested. In 1918 the total acreage harvested was 589,-
~,:.;:~~ 166.
THE WHEAT BELT.
Wheat is profitably produced in a majority of the counties. If you desire to specialize to a considerable extent in wheat, and at the same time grow corn, oats, cotton, etc., you should locate in the wheat belt.
To find the wheat belt on the map begin in Oglethorpe County, run a line through Walton, Gwinnett, Cobb, Bartow, etc. You will then have northward the counties which lead in wheat production. Several counties south of the line produce large crops.
During the last eight years interest in wheat has increased to a remarkable extent. For example, the 1918 crop amounts to 3,631,000 bushels as against the 1910 crop of only 752,858 bushels, an increase of 2,878,142 bushels. There was also a decided increase in the average yield per acre.
RICE AND RYE.
Production of rice and rye is on the increase in Georgia. Both are profitable and a far greater increase in their output is expected in the next few years.
Georgia at the outbreak of the World War was the sixth State in rice production, with an average annual yield of about 100,000 bushels. The need for more food stimulated interest in this crop, and the output has been increased considerably.

PROGRESSIVE GRAIN GROWING IN GEORGIA l'armera in this State have been quick to seize upon etJer!f advanced method of ~ion and harvesting. This has been a zJrime factor in making Georgia one
of ell lllading gram-producing States in the country.

MORE THAN DOUBLED. Rice production is far short of the needs of the State. This grain is profitably grown inland as well as in the coast counties. from 50 to 70 bushels per acre is the yield. Rye is grown principally in the mountain counties of the State. The annual pre-war production of approximately 125,000 bushels has been substantially increased. Rye is one of the minor Georgia crops, but its output has been more than doubled in the last ten years, and further stimulation is expzcted in this grain.
HAY A MONEYMAKER.
Cowpeas, soy beans, clover, alfalfa, velvet beans and cultivated grasses are the principal hay crops grown in this State. Between two and six-and-a-half tons per acre is the yield on intelligently cultivated farms.
Cowpeas are a favorite because of their valuable stock food content, and they recharge the soil with nitrogen. Alfalfa is increasingly popular. It has been demonstrated by the State College of Agriculture, at Athens, that more than six-and-a-half tons per acre can be harvested from a stiff clay soil in five cuttings, where the seed is inoculated with nitrogen bacteria.
MUCH HAY IMPORTED.
As much as $100 per acre, from six cuttings at a ton per cutting, is not unusual in the southern part of the State.
Georgia has had to import about 100,000 tons of hay annually. When the war broke out the annual output was 338,000 tons. Spread of information as to means of increasing the crop by intensive cultivation is resulting in much progress in this line.
Georgia may be expected soon not only to grow enough hay for her own needs but to export great quantities.

The Georgia Yam
Sweeter Sweet Potatoes
~~~m'l ITH PROPER CARE in cultivation there is scarcely a more profitable crop than the Georgia sweet potato. The yield of "yams"-pumpkin, sugar or Porto Ricanranges from 100 to 400 bushels an acre. In 1918 over 11,960,000 bushels were produced. Others join Georgia in admitting that her "sweeter sweet potatoes" are unsurpassed. The average yield per acre is greater than in any other State in the Union.
~~~~ As many as 300 bushels per acre are not altogether uncommon. More than $250 an acre has been made from
a double crop, Irish potatoes followed by sweets.
IRISH POTATOES.
It must not be supposed that sweet potatoes are raised to the negligence of Irish potatoes. Production has grown from 900,000 bushels in 1916 to 1,610,000 bushels in 1918.
In 1916 the value per acre was $105 and last year it was $129. The new crop, following upo~ a winter of cold storage potatoes, always brings good prices.
Potato production in general, is rapidly on the increase in Georgia.
SUGAR CANE AND SORGHUM.
Sugar cane requires about the same attention as corn. It yields a heavy tonnage per acre. When made into syrup it produces from 300 to 700 gallons per acre. For many years it has not sold at less than 40 cents a gallon; it now brings $1.00 and more, sold on the farm.
"Long sweetenin'," as it is called in Georgia, has for many years been one of the favorites of the farmers of this State and so continues.
Sorghum grows well in any part of the State and in almost any kind of soil. It will grow well on any land fit for corn, cotton and vegetables.
Sorghum is produced in Georgia for making syrup, it is cut and used for hay, as a pasture crop, as silage and as a soiling crop.

Progress in Peanuts
Speeded Up by the World War
lf.5~~1ii'l HE WAR IN EUROPE brought the peanut to the fore as a larger article of commerce. True, it was well known before, as a by-product of baseball, and its hulls littered the floors of legislative halls and courtrooms until they were banned by stringent rules. The peanut now figures in a broader field. It has many by-products of its own, and is used for a great variety of purposes, most of them familiar. In 1910 Georgia planted 160,317 acres of peanuts and harvested 2,569,787 bushels, or a general average of 16
bushels an acre. Last year the State harvested 10,316,000 bushels from 362,000
acres, or a general average of 28 bushels an acre. The increase in acreage was 125.8 per cent; in the crop it was
294.4 per cent; in yield, 75 per cent.

LARGE PROFITS IX GEORGIA PECANS.

SUCCESS

THE POPULAR PECAN.
The pecan nut has been steadily growing in favor. Ten years ago seven counties-four in southern and three in middle Georgiahad 4,196 bearing trees; the average yield per tree was 24.4 pounds. In Mcintosh 376 trees averaged per tree 67.4 pounds of nuts.
That was a decade ago, and the entire crop was 355,000 pounds. In 1918 the crop totalled 2,728,000 pounds.
There are fifty duly approved varieties of pecan nuts, from which you may make a selection best adapted to the locality you choose.

The Velvet Bean

Comes Into Its Own at Last

I'FcV~~ooF'TER YEARS of patient but not inactive waiting, the velvet bean has been accorded the recognition it has always deserved.

In 1896 the present writer tested the velvet bean in

a small area of sandy loam. The seed was obtained from the Go'vernment. The test showed wonderful

1 growth in vines, the yield in cured hay being at the rate

of three tons per acre.

II~~~~ Having ascertained that cows and horses were fond

1.:;

of it, the writer planted more beans and induced others

to do the same. Velvet bean propaganda has had many friends,

and their number is increasing. The Government puts it pat when it says: "The velvet bean
has effected a bloodless revolution in the agricultural methods of

the State of Georgia. It has demonstrated the advantages and possibilities of a diversified system, and the success of this plant

has been wonderful on account of its high feed and fattening value

for cattle." Twenty-five bushels per acre is common. Intensive cultivation,
especially when the beans have been planted early in good soil,

assure a substantially greater production.

THE TABLE PEA.
The table pea is generally classed with beans by Eastern and Western folks. They are entirely different from beans and fully as good, or better.
"Boston Baked Beans," nice as they are, stand second to "Hop and John"-Southern table peas and rice served together.
Table peas are good also for the milch cow, for pigeons, and for poultry in general.
There are several varieties: the black-eyed crowder, sugar crowder, lady pea, speckled pea and the regular cowpea.
When vegetables are off the market or, when on, at too high a price, every good Southern housewife begins at once to put edible Georgia peas into circulation.

Garden Trucking
Millions in It in Georgia
~~~;;'IROFITABLE TRUCK GROWING in this State is by no means limited to potatoes and peas. Millions come into Georgia annually through the garden truck industry, which is developing rapidly. Although many Georgians have become wealthy at truck gardening, and notwithstanding its potentialities, the people of the State still spend over $10,000,000 a year in other States for this kind of food. Millions of dollars of course come into Georgia for
&;i~~~ vegetables, but many millions more remain to be made from this source.
GREEN CORN AND TURNIPS.
Green corn, or the early kind, is a staple diet in this State. It brings $100 a year and more per acre, and leaves the ground available for turnips in the autumn. These pay the producer as much again.
MONEY IN TOMATOES.
Georgia-produced tomatoes bring as high as $500 an acre. Growers in many counties regularly make from $200 to $300 an acre.
Canning is comparatively inexpensive and is on the increase throughout the State. Girls' canning clubs are numerous.

An average Georgia acre will produce about 100 crates of beans and bring over $200.
Cabbage from $200 to $300 an acre, but Georgia imports many thousand dollars worth of this staple every year.
Cucumbers fetch from $100 to $300 gross per acre, and Georgia brings into the State hardly less than $50,000 worth annually.

ASPARAGUS. The asparagus-growing industry is rapidly becoming an important one in Georgia. It is grown in many parts of the State, but the most important asparagus section is just south of Macon. Some twenty growers there cultivate more than 1,000 acres annually. The product competes successfully with Charleston and California asparagus, and the increasing profit in it promises eventually to make it a rival of the famous Georgia peach.
OTHER GARDEN TRUCK. A large variety of other garden truck is grown or can be grown in any county. Carrots, kale, collards, cauliflower, spinach, squash, beets, lettuce, egg plant and at least twenty other kinds are in strong demand. With greater reduction of cotton acreage, Georgia farmers are turning more and more to truck gardening; the result is increased profit for them.

The Georgia Peach

The Incomparable Fruit

l'fo5~~F,i'IEORGIA AND PEACHES are so inseparably linked that they should be classified together in the dictionary. If Georgia's fame rested on nothing but her peaches her place in international esteem would be secure.

The largest peach orchards in the world are in Geor-

gia. The annual crop is valued at more than $4,000,000

and in some years has approached $5,000,000. There

II~W[i~ll are over 12,000,000 peach trees in the State. Geor-

1!1

gia is the greatest producer of peaches in the United

&;~~;;!I States.

This luscious fruit is quite at home in almost every county in the Commonmealth. Highly profitable commercial orchards are to be found in every pa:r:t of the State. In 1918 the crop reached the splendid total of 6,695,000 bushels. Unreported crops undoubtedly raised the total above 7,000,000 bushels.

THE HOME ORCHARD.

During the 'forties and 'fifties no truly home plantation or home farm was regarded as properly equipped unless there was within easy reach of the home an orchard of selected seedling fruit, peaches, apples, nectarines, pears, plums, cherries, apricots, figs, quince, pomegranates and the smaller fruits.
Now that there is a growing disposition to go back to the farm and to re-adopt country life, the home orchard is being restored to its old time place in the affections of the people. The home orchards of the last mid-century held a warm place in the heart of the South.
To get maximum results in marketing the crop the Georgia Fruit Exchange, with headquarters in Atlanta, the State capital, operates an extensive organization. Most of the important fruit growers of Georgia are members of the organization.

MONEY IN APPLES.

Commercial apples are grown principally in northern Georgia. In considerably less than a decade, or since the last federal census, apple-growing has become a distinctively profitable industry.
In 1918 Georgia's total reported apple crop amounted to 587,000

barrels of three bushels each. And there is an ever-increasing demand for apples of the better varieties.
Apples may be grown in any part of the State. In the last cen. sus only four counties-Calhoun, Clay, Echols and Miller-failed to report an apple crop.
GEORGIA TAKES PRIZES.
Georgia apples have taken prizes in competition with the product of New York, Oregon, Washington, Missouri and other famed apple-growing sections.
The State now has considerably over 2,000,000 apple trees, producing in excess of 4,000,000 bushels a year. The brands which have been grown most successfully are the Early Ripe, Yellow Transparent, Red June, Red Astrachan, Rome Beauty, Duchess of Oldenburg, Winesap, Grimes' Golden, Black Twig, Wealthy and Kinnard.
GEORGIA MELONS.
Watermelons and cantaloupes of a number of varieties are profitably grown in quite every county in the State. Middle and south Georgia afford a soil especially adapted to these fruits.
Among the melons, the Richmond County Rattlesake, the Tom Watson and the Sugar or Cuban are among the most popular varieties.
Among the most favored kinds of cantaloupes are the Rockyford, the Netted Green and the Montreal Green-all good shippers. Among the home table varieties are the White Japan and the New Surprise.
OTHER FRUITS AND BERRIES.
Pears, persimmons, oranges, plums, prunes, cherries and quinces are successfully grown, although at present on a smaller scale than the fruits mentioned. Of the kinds named, pears and plums are grown in greatest volume.
The strawberry is generally adaptable throughout the State. There are many varieties, most of them excellent. Preference and attention figure prominently in successful strawberry culture.
Fifty bushels an acre is the average yield. This at 25 cents a quart means $400 an acre.
What is true of the strawberry is equally true of the raspberry, the cultivated blackberry and other berries.

THE PALATABLE FIG.
The small sugar, the large blue and the large green fig, each and all, tell the same story : that there is no more desirable fruit to
be found anywhere. Figs are grown in nearly every county. The last census gave
the general average yield per tree as 23.7 pounds. Carroll county
led the State. Her 1,297 trees averaged 50.6 pounds. Grady was
the banner county in general average yield per tree-68.5 pounds. Grady had 593 trees.
The fig will honor, in a highly remunerative way, the very best attention that may be and should be bestowecl upon it.
TOBACCO POSSIBILITIES. There has been an awakening all over the State on the subj ect of tobacco culture. Tobacco can be made a perfectly satisfactory crop in Georgia with proper handling and attention to detail. The tobacco crop of last year almost doubled that of 1910; it was 2,668,000 pounds. You have in these facts a fair insight into the possibilities of tobacco culture in Georgia.

Good Crop Results
Some Facts and Figures ~"F.E;;;~00 HERE could be given in this booklet examples in which
large crops of corn, oats, wheat, etc., were produced on one acre of land, but it is preferred to place on record here results obtained from acreage plats which received an ordinary supply of fertilizer and the usual cultivation.
In Hancock county, first year after Bermuda sod was broken, 1,800 pounds of seed cotton (equivalent to one and one-fifth bales) were picked. The second year the liiiii;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;oa crop was 2,800 pounds of seed cotton per acre-equivalent, approximately, to one and seven-eighths bales. The third year, corn, manured with cotton seed, averaged 65 bushels per acre. The fourth year, wheat averaged 42 bushels per acre.
CLOVER FIVE FEET HIGH. In Thomas county an acreage was sown in oats in the autumn. The yield per acre was 96 1-2 bushels. Cotton followed the oats; average yield per acre, 800 pounds of seed cotton, equal to a frac-
tion more than 1lJ2 bales per acre.
In Pike county, on five acres of bottom land, 500 bushels of rice were produced-an average of 100 bushels per acre. Net result, $300.

In Gordon county three acres of Lucerne (alfalfa) four years old~ yielded 9,400 pounds of prime hay per acre. The tract was mowed four times.
100 ACRES $8,000. In Brooks county, a farm of 126 acres, on which were grown, during the year, oats, corn, cowpeas, peanuts, sweet potatoes, sugar cane and cotton, gave a cash return of $3,258.25. The total cost of production amounted to $1,045.00; net proceeds, $2,213.25.

In Ben Hill county a woman farmer has 1,000 acres of land600 acres under cultivation. Last year she grew 200 bales of cotton, 350 tons of hay, plus other valuable crops, and had 100 hogs on the farm.
In Richmond county, 100 acres in common vetch and Johnson grass turned out 400 tons of the best hay which, at. the low price of $20 per ton, netted $8,000 a year. The vetch was cut one time and the grass four times a season.

Live Stock in Georgia
Great -Progress Being Made

Gij~~~AISING LIVE STOCK in Georgia is not an experiment. In the 'fifties, live stock farming was the successful practice of the planters and farmers of that decade, and of the preceding decade as well.
The results of the war between the sections wrought a revolution in that respect. Indeed, the much discussed "one-crop-all cotton" practice was absolutely unavoidable.
Cotton was in demand at a high price per pound. Cotton, therefore, quickly became the controlling factor, and was accorded "standing at bank." These facts constitute the "reason why" Georgia farmers, and Southern farmers generally, gave the larger part of their attention, through a long series of years, to cotton culture. It was practically and exclusively THE MONEY CROP.

SWINE.

Interest has centered for several years on swine. The following

figures show the number of swine in Georgia in the years men-

tioned:

Year 1860 1880 1890 1910 1919

Number 2,036,116 1,471,003 1,396,362 1,783,684 3,043,000

Per Capita 1.92 of a hog
.95 of a hog .75 of a hog .68 of a hog 1.06 of a hog

The figures of 1860 tell the story of the high degree of success

which crowned the systematic policy and practice of raising live

stock on quite every farm in the State.

Since the spring of 1865, Georgia has been making substantial progress along all lines. In order fully to appreciate the recuperative power of the people of Georgia, one must recall the fact that their losses, as a result of the war between the sections, were equivalent "to seven years' loss of increase in population, and twenty-five years' loss of wealth.

Many herds of pure-bred cattle are scattered throughout the State. All parts of Georgia offer an inviting field for dairying and the raising of live stock of all kinds.

At the beginning of 1919 there were 452,000 milch cows valued at $29,380,000 on Georgia farms and ranges. Other cattle numbered 763,000 valued at $20,830,000.

At the same time there were 144,000 sheep worth $835,000.

43

SECOND LARGEST MULE MARKET. It is no longer necessary for Georgia live stock raisers to ship their products to the middle western packing houses. The State contains plenty of cash markets. Packing houses under Government supervision at Atlanta, Sa. vannah, Macon, Moultrie, Tifton, Statesboro and Waycross, and abbatoirs at Albany and Augusta efficiently serve the Georgia live stock raiser. Atlanta has the second largest mule market in the United States; it is second only to St. Louis. At the beginning of the present year there were 344,000 mules valued at $68,800,000, and 131,000 horses worth $20,436,000 on Georgia farms and ranges. Total live stock numbered 4,877,000 and were valued at $193,533,000.
WATER FOR STOCK. A very large number of farms have running water. In the absence of running water, dig or bore a well or several wells, bring into action an up-to-date force pump, and there you are. You will not experience the slightest difficulty in obtaining a supply of the very best water for all purposes.

GRASSES AND PASTURAGE. In every section of the State there are wide stretches of land carpeted with native grasses. In South Georgia these pastures are good the year round. It has been declared that the most unappreciated thing on God's planet is Bermuda grass." set it out in checks," said the late Colonel Tom C. Howard, the author of the above statement, "three feet apart, plough it and treat it like a gentleman, and you will see."
BERMUDA A STAYER. Bermuda has not only staying qualities, but binding qualities also. A conservative enthusiast once asserted that Bermuda will tie the ground so tight you may run a mill dam over it without disturbing it in the least. Run a coulter through it whenever you wish to; the next year plant it in corn. It will make a highly satisfactory crop. An acre of Bermuda will keep twenty sheep during the whole growing season. It dies down after the first killing frost, but it reports for duty at the first blush of Spring.

There is no finer combination of seed for the building up of grazing plats than sweet clover and blue grass. Rye or oats make a fine temporary pasturage for calves, milch cows and hogs. Crimson clover for winter use and Lespedeza for Spring and Summer use will be found excellent.
There is an important fact that should be borne in mind, particularly as to milch cows, in the matter of pasturage. Soiling is more economical and therefore preferable. By soiling is meant feeding green stuff to cows and to cattle. Soiling largely increases the quantity of milk and butter produced.
The crops necessary to soiling milch cows or cattle are and can be produced in this State in the greatest abundance.
The name of valuable grasses indigenous to Georgia soil is legion. There is crow-foot, Munro, crab grass and many others too numerous to mention. In short, there is no lack of hay-making or forage-yielding grasses or plants.
West and East, more especially West, silos are in general use. Home-seekers will be interested to know that a greater tonnage of silage-making crops can be produced in Georgia than in any other State in the Union.
Corn silage is by far the best. Average corn will yield seven tons of silage material per acre. Eureka ensilage corn will yield fifteen tons of material per acre. Cut when the corn is in the glaze, the green stuff is best.

Eradication of the Tick
Pest Is Nearly Wiped Out

fii~~i5ii'IURING the past twelve years a wondrously successful

D

work has been accomplished in tick eradication, and it is predicted by qualified judges that the State will be free from the pest by the end of 1921.

The re:mlts won are primarily due to the fact that,

by every available agency, the people were educated as

to the destructiveness of tick infestation.

It was by giving out up-to-date information on the

a.;:;:;~~

subject that the people were brought to the fact that tick eradication was and

a is

recognition of indispensable

to more and better live stock in every county in the State.

WORK IS PUSHED.
The work of tick eradication has been, and is being, prosecuted with marked discretion and with great energy and success by the Office of State Veterinarian-a brar.ch of the State Department of Agriculture.
This subject is full of interest to home-seekers, many of whom, once they resolve to come to Georgia and make their homes here, will wish to bring pure-bred live stock with them.

HOG CHOLERA AND TUBERCULOSIS.
In this connection it should be stated that the office of State Veterinarian has been equally active in protecting the people against loss from cholera among hogs and tuberculosis among cattle.

MORE GOOD ROADS.

Up to January 1, 1918, more than 6,000,000 cubic centimeters of cholera serum had been distributed to 141 counties in the State. The price at which the serum is supplied farmers ($1.25 per 100 ee.) is very reasonable.
The campaign against tuberculosis among cattle, especially among dairy herds, was vigorously prosecuted during 1917 and 1918, and will be continued with unabated zeal and with high servlee to the people.
49

Poultry and Bees
Conditions are Unsurpassed
~~~~0 the man who is looking for a new field in which to enter the poultry business, Georgia offers unexcelled opportunities.
A Government investigator on the ground said this year: "The man who comes to Georgia intending to go into the poultry business as a bread and butter make~ had better hit the thousand-layer mark right from th~ start.
"Nowhere in the country will he find better conditions than right here in Georgia. The mild climate, an abundance of green food easily obtained, and the steady demand fo~ both eggs and chickens, means success to anyone who will come here and go into the poultry business right."
GEORGIANS CHICKEN-EATERS.
Northerners who come here are impressed by the quantity of chicken consumed by the average Georgian. Thousands of chickens are imported annually for food; they might just as well be born in and close their careers of usefulness in the State.
Good hens here lay from four to six times their weight in eggs. They all lay in the Spring, young and old. They are forced to lay by Spring conditions. Provide these conditions from nine to twelve months of the year, as they are provided here, and your chickens will lay the year round.
Geese and ducks thrive excellently in Georgia, especially along the water courses; they are good money-makers.
GEORGIA BEES WORK LONGER.
Bees have a longer working season in the South than they have in the North, and it is not necessary to house them to keep them warm.
Of coms~ agriculture and fruit growing are connected industries, but even in parts of the State which do not have commercial orchards, bee culture is a money-maker and supplies large stores for family use.
A large business is done in the exportation of queen bees. Droves of these desirable citizenesses are deported every year. Honey is shipped in carloads from several sections of Georgia.

The Georgia Department of Agriculture

fij~~ooHE CONTENTS of this booklet are in part a summary

T

of the functions of the Georgia Department of Agriculture, headed by Commissioner J. J. Brown.

Gathering and imparting general information and sta-

l~'i~lni71:relli tistics constitute only one side of the Department's ac-

tivities. Its war activities greatly assisted the Federal

Food Administration.

One of its most important functions is enforcement

of the laws governing agriculture in Georgia, and the ~~~~pure food and drug laws as well.

The Department supervises the compulsory registration of the

various brands of fertilizer manufactured and on sale. Registration

must be made of the brand name, name and address of the manu-

facturer and a guaranteed analysis.

SOIL BACTERIA.
A tax tag, bought from the State, must be attached to every sack of fertilizer put on the market. The producer must also report every pound of fertilizer and meal sold in the State, giving complete information concerning every transaction.
The sale of oil and gasoline also is regulated according to State laws by the Department of Agriculture. An army of inspectors working under division inspectors are used in the enforcement of the various laws affecting the Department.
An expert bacteriologist in the State laboratories supervises the production of soil bacteria, which are distributed to farmers at cost, 25 cents an acre, the lowest price anywhere.

BUREAU OF MARKETS.
Under the provisions of an act of the General Assembly of Geor gia, approved August 21, 1917, a Bureau of Markets was organized and work begun.
The larger work has been developed under Commissioner Brown. The specific object in view, in authorizing the bureau, was to assist the farmers in the proper, efficient and economic handling,

The Blue Ridge Mountains
"American Alps''
Travelers who are fond of strilring comparisons call the Blue Ridge chain of mountains in northeast Georgia ''the American Alps".
A number of wealthy admirers of this ruggedly beautiful section 10 emphatically prefer the Blue Ridge to the Swiss Alps that they have built homes there.
The most notable of these scenic mountains are Yonah, Tray, Black Rock and Screamer. Am-ong them are summer hotels, which are annually popular with man.lf tourists and re.7ular visitors.
The natural beauty of th ese mountains has to be seen to be appreciated. Apply all the ad,iectites customary in such descriptions and you will disappoint those who hate seen them.
With the giYJwing realization b.lf Americans that they do Mt hate to go overseas for wonderful mountains and scenery, the Blue Ridge section seems destined to win a place of its own that will . -.ake it not only nationally but internationally famed .

packing, transporting, distribution, and sale of agricultural products of all kinds within the Commonwealth, and for the purpose of assisting the producer in selling and the consumer in purchasing such products under fair conditions and at reasonable prices.
The Bureau, under the management of Director L. B. Jackson, has accomplished big results. In a comparatively short time the Bureau was placed in touch with producers throughout the State, and, to a man, they were given instruction and active assistance of practical value. The same is true of consumers; they have been benefited in that they have been brought face to face with the producers of farm products of every kind.
BACK OF THE FARMER. The Bureau is not only bringing producer and consumer to a plane on which they may trade at prices and in a manner perfectly satisfactory to both, but it is doing the highly-important work of instructing, by the process of suggestion, the producers, of every class, how to prepare their farm products, whether grain or hay, butter or poultry, fruit or live stock, for market.

COTTON READr TO BE SHIPPED
A Picture That Tells Its Own Stor.lf.
Appearances constitute a controlling factor in successfully marketing farm products. You cannot overestimate the value that attaches to presentability or attractiveness in preparing farm products for market.
The Bureau is instilling into the minds of producers of agricultural products the supreme importance of familiarity with prices current in the town or city to which they haul, or to which they ship the products of their farms for sale. This information, always at command at the hands of the Bureau, will assist you in fixing a minimum price on whatever products you haul or ship to market.
DISADVANTAGE OVERCOME. The fact that our rural population, per square mile, ranges from 10 to 60 persons, suggests isolation to an extent, in some sections, and that superinduces, in a large number of cases, a bit of timidity which places the average producer at a disadvantage when offering his products for sale. The Bureau of Markets has an eye to that situation, and it is ready and anxious to stand right at your back and give you cordial IUpport.

Agricultural Education
Institutions Doing Great Work
lii;;:i~tiil HERE is in Georgia, of course, as in every other State and Territory in the Union, a College of Agriculture op. erated in accordance with the Merrill Act of 1862, and an Agricultural Experiment Station in keeping with the provisions of the Hatch and the Adams Act. These institutions have done and are doing important work in furtherance of an advanCing agriculture in Georgia. There is a school of this character in each of the twelve Congressional Districts of the State. They are
.,..;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;-.. supported by the State. The schools are located so that the convenience of the people in the tributary territory was considered and duly recognized in the matter of healthfulness of locality, accessibility, etc.
DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS. These schools afford to hundreds of girls and boys ample opportunity to prepare for a university or college course, or, in the event they may not be financially able to realize their ambition in that particular, they will acquire intellectual training that will qualify them for the battles of life. Agriculturally, these schools are doing much good, and are improving year by year. They have passed the experimental stage and are now confirming the wisdom of the legislation which authorized their establishment and provided liberally for their support. Every village, town and city in Georgia has a first-class system of public schools-in nearly every instance capped by a high school of the first rank. There is throughout the rural districts a satisfactory system of

public schools, supported by taxation. Their maintenance is largely from an annual direct appropriation from the State Treasury. It will interest home-seekers to know the amount of the appropriation for this purpose.
The appropriation for common or public schools for 1918 was fixed at $3,200,000-an increase over the previous year of $500,000.
Under the law the total fund is derived from the following sources: Tax on property, tax on polls, half the rental of the Western & Atlantic R. R. (State Road), tax on shows, and dividends from stock owned by the State in the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company. The amount supplied by the four agencies mentioned amounts to $537,922. The general tax adds to the fund $2,662,078.
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
Separate from, and independent of, the fund for the support of the common or public schools, there was appropriated for 1918, $772,943 in aid of higher education.
The University of Georgia is one of the oldest and most distinguished institutions of learning in the Union. Up to 1896, the State left the institution dependent on an appropriation of $8,000 a year, which really was interest due the University on $100,000 in bonds for money borrowed from the institution.
In '96 an annual appropriation, for maintenance, was made by the General Assembly. Now that appropriation amounts to $65; 000 a year.
SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY.
The movement in favor of a School of Technology was inaugurated in the General Assembly in the autumn of 1882.
The alumni, beginning with a class of two in 1890 and inclusive of the class of 1917, which numbered 94 members, are, as a rule, occupying positio:ns not only lucrative but useful. "Georgia Tech" is a school of the people and for the people.
Home-seekers will take deep interest in Georgia Tech-an institution in which the hand as well as the brain is trained.
WOMEN'S COLLEGIATE INSTITUTES.
There are several of these institutions in various sections of the State. They are doing a great work. Their influence and power for good-a general uplift of the people-is felt from the mountains to the seaboard. They are all State institutions and practically free.

The Coastal Plain
And the Experiment Station
lf.5~~;1HE COASTAL PLAIN comprises all the territory of the State south of an irregular line, known as the Fall Line, connecting the cities of Augusta, Milledgeville, Macon and Columbus. The area is more than half the State. It is practically a level plain, with a gentle slope southward. The territory includes many of the best farming counties in the State. Live stock farming is rapidly becoming a distinguishing feature of the high degree of agri-
a:;:~~~cultural progress in all that section. The section possesses a distinctiveness in characteristics of soil,
climate, water, etc., that has just been recognized by the General Assembly. At a recent session a bill was enacted authorizing the establishment of an Experiment Station, and providing liberally for it.
The question of a preferred site for the Station was placed in the hands of a commission, which chose Tifton among three sites offered. The communities advocating the contesting cities pledged, in each instance, a large acreage of suitable land and a persuasive cash subscription.
Valuable agricultural development work is already being done by the Georgia Experiment Station, on 220 acres at Experiment, near Griffin. This work is supported by the Federal Government with an annual appropriation of $30,000.
THE PIEDMONT PLATEAU.
The Piedmont Plateau is a wide belt of territory which extends from the foot of the Appalachian Mountains to the Coastal Plain. It is an elevated land traversing the State from the extreme northeast to the southwest, with an average width of one hundred mile.3. Its area is equal to one-third of that of the State.
The general average elevation, along its northern boundary, is 1,200 feet above sea-level. At the junction with the Coastal plain, the elevation is reduced to a little less than half of this height.

Viewed from an elevated point, the section has the appearancs of a plain, dotted with mountains and hills. The principal mountains are Stone, Kennesaw and Pine.
The whole stretch of beautiful country is of low, well-rounded hills and ridges with fertile valleys between.
The numerous streams in the plateau are rapid flowing, frequently marked by cataracts and water falls.
This section abounds in valuable minerals, and, as to agriculture, is a country with an inspiring record. The fertile valleys are made to do, in crop production, all that nature purposed they should do.
MINERALS IN GEORGIA.
In the table of counties, setting forth facts as to temperature, soil, etc., brief mention is made of minerals in a number of the counties. The minerals are worthy of more extended notice.
Asbestos is found in White, Habersham and Rabun counties. In 1870 asbestos was mined on the Miller property, in Rabun county, and hauled by wagon to Walhalla, S. C. In 1910, the only producer of asbestos in the State was the Sail Mountain Asbestos Co., in White county. That company has been engaged in the business since 1894.
The finer varieties of asbestos are spun into fire-proof cloth. Being a non-conductor of heat and electricity, it is used in electrical insulation, covering for steam pipe and boiler, etc. It is used also in the manufacture of fire-proof paints.
The largest tonnage output between 1890 and 1907, inclusive, was in 1905-3,109 short tons valued at $42,975.
Barytes, used as a substitute for white lead, and in the manufacture of paper, rubber, paper collars, etc., is found in Bartow and in Murray county. Barytes mining is regarded as in its infancy in this State.
BAUXITE MINING.
Bauxite, a mineral much in demand, is found m Bartow, Chattooga, Floyd, Gordon and Walker counties. This mineral is used in the manufacture of alum and the aluminum alloys and compounds, also in metal aluminum. It is used also in the manufacture of certain aluminum salts used in baking powders, dyes, etc.
With our superior cement, clays and shale, marble and granite, everybody is more or less familiar. It may safely be asserted that

all these are more in demand at this time than ever in the history of the country.
Of coal, iron, corundum, pyrites, mica and copper, we have a good supply. And we have more than a mere quantum of gold and other precious metals.
Frequent inquiry is made from outside the State as to wild land, acreage and locations.
Tax returns for 1917, the latest available at this writing, show that the acreage of improved land was 32,717,707 acres; of wild land the acreage was 3,250,138. The wild land is less than ten per cent of the entire acreage returned for taxation.
Wild land is located in 44 counties, equally divided between North and South Georgia. The average price at which wild land was returned for taxation in 1917 was $1.82 per acre.
Large tracts of cut-over land are being offered for sale. It was believed for a long time that land which had been in the hands of "turpentine farmers" and then cut over would not produce crops worth harvesting. Not so. It has been demonstrated that such lands may be made very productive.
WATER POWER POSSIBILITIES.
The possibilities of the hydro-electric power of the State were in process of full and appreciative recognition when the World War began. It is estimated that the total horsepower is 2,100,000, of which 230,000 has been developed.
"To what extent is Georgia supplied with mineral springs?" There are 137. Sixty-three are in 29 counties in the northern, 59 are found in 28 counties in the middle, and 15 are located in 15 counties in the southern portion of the State. Take a map of the State, run a straight line from Lincoln county to Hawkinsville, in Pulaski county, thence directly west to Chattahoochee county, and you will see northward how widely extended is the territory in which a large majority of the springs are found. What South Georgia lacks in mineral springs is supplied by flowing Artesian wells, which have contributed so generously to the health of the people and to the up-building of that opulent section. There are twenty-two mineral wells of record in the State. Of these, five are given special names: One, an Artesian well, is in Dougherty; one, an Artesian-Lithia well, is in Cobb; one, an Electric-Lithia well, is in Taliaferro, and one, an Artesian well, is in Glynn county; one, a Sulpha-Magnesia well, is in Cobb county.

THEY KEEP COMING
The following clipping from the Savannah, Ga., News of May 21, 1919, tells the story of outside interest in Georgia's possibilities:
OHIO FARMERS BUY LANDS IN GEORGIA
Find What They Were looking For Near Brooklet
The farm lands of Georgia are attracting farmers of the Middle \Vest, evidenc~ of this being given yesterday in the presence of E. C. ltogers and H. E. >:lnyder of Brool<let, Ga., who are now residents of that thriving section, though only a month ago they registered as from Pleasant Hill and Trenton, Ohio, respectively.
Messrs. Rogers and Snyder came to Georgia prospecting for lands, to escape the rigors of the Northern winters no less than to make a profitable investment. After looking over considerable area, they found the lands suited to their purposes near Brooklet, and have started to work in earnest. They came in to Purchase supplies to be used in stocking their farms.
AUTOMOBILES AND GOOD ROADS.
In 1914 there were about 25,000 automobiles in Georgia. In 1919 the 100,000 mark was passed-300 per cent increase in five years. Three-fourths of these automobiles are owned in the country districts.
Georgia farmers have learned rapidly the value of the automobile both for work and for pleasure. Especially have they proven valuable in transporting the lighter forms of produce to market.
A large part of the reason for the rapid increase of automobile owners, aside from prosperity, is the speeding up of the State's good roads program.
Georgia has upwards of 90,000 miles of public roads, most of which are either highly improved, in process of improvement, or plans are being made for their improvement.
HUNTING AND FISHING.
Here is a partial list of some of the game and fish to be found in Georgia:
65

Quail, wild turkey, woodcock, doves, grouse, pheasants, duck, deer, squirrels, 'possums, mountain trout, black bass and brearn
I
channel cat and various forms of salt water fish. THE SEACOAST ISLANDS.
Winter resorts and game preserves dot Georgia's seacoast islands, which are many. The famous Millionaires' Club makes its home on Jekyl Island. Carnegie's Southern estate is on Cumber. land Island.
Among other islands along the coast which are used as private fishing or game preserves and resorts are St. Catherine's, Ossabaw, Sapelo, Wolf, St. Simons and Tybee.
CITIES AND PORTS. Atlanta, the capital of the State, has about 250,000 inhabitants. It is the largest city in the South in bank clearings and postal re. ceipts . It is a railroad and manufacturing center, and the Regional Reserve Bank for the Southeast is located there. It is the com. mercia! headquarters of the Southeast. Other large Georgia cities are Savannah, which is the largest seaport on the Atlantic seacoast south of Baltimore. It was the site of the original Georgia colony founded by Oglethorpe. Brunswick, Darien and St. Mary's are other important ports. Augusta and Macon are steadily growing cities. Other important cities are Columbus, Waycross, Athens, Rome, Valdosta, Albany and Americus.

Georgia's Finances
Proof of Her Wealth
(foE~~~~ERE, in one sentence, is solid proof of Georgia's Pro. gress: Georgia's total bank resources in the early part of 1919
are $442,979,494.20-an increase of $192,836,944.78 in
five years.
Georgia's total property values are well in excess of a
billion dollars. The per capita wealth of its white citi. zens is $1,664.
Georgia's conservative laws regarding the issuance of bonds and stocks, together with its rapidly increasing wealth, make its credit second to none among the States.

MORE ELASTIC CURRENCY.

In Atlanta is located one of the twelve Federal reserve or "regional' banks, serving the Sixth District, which includes Georgia, Florida, Alabama and parts of Tennessee, Louisiana and Mississippi.
Georgia has benefited inestimably by a more elastic currency, especially at seasons when much money is needed for moving crops. It has been made increasingly easier for the producer to get money for legitimate uses.
Joseph A. McCord, who was the first governor of the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank, is now chairman of the board of directors of the bank and a Class C Director, appointed by the Federal Reserve Board at Washington.
At the close of business on June 7, 1919 the bank showed total resources of $201,565,350.75, as against $12,010,000 at the close of business March 26, 1915, four months after the bank was opened. This obviously means a much greater flow of money for active use.

THE TAX SYSTEM.
ln connection with a State's finances, its tax system is of especial interest to the prospective citizen. Georgia's tax rate is limited by its constitution to a maximum of five mills: $5 on each $1,000 of property returned for taxation.

70

The average rate of taxation in the counties is $8 on each $1,000. ,Property generally is taxed at about 60 per cent of its market value. Georgia's municipal tax rates, as well as its State and county rates,
are below the average of most of the States.
PRODUCERS ARE AIDED. One of the recent activities of the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank is the issuance of a standardized warehouse receipt form, desi~ned to improve business methods, warehouse records and accounti11g 81stems (especially in the handling of crops). Georgia's fin:_:~nders are constantly devising means of aiding farmers and producers generally.

Georgia Industries
They are Many and Profitable
I'F.5~~ii'l EORGIA'S manufacturing products are conservatively estimated to be worth more than $400,000,000 annually, The annual value of textile mill production is in excess of $100,000,000. Cotton oil mills produce more than $50,000,000 worth every year. Iron, steel and machinery plants turn out more than $25,000,000 worth annually. The annual value of brick, tile, sewer piping and clay
1,;~~;.1 manufactures is estimated at more than $4,000,000. Buggy, carriage and wagon plants produce more than $3,500,000
of vehicles every year. Georgia's annual leather production approaches $5,000,000. The annual product of Georgia's more than 200 flour and grist
mills is over $12,000,000. Many other manufacturing enterprises are carried on throughout
the State at substantial profit. Georgia has more than 5,000 manufacturing establishments in which there is invested more than $500,000,000. They are operated largely by hydro-electric power.
TIMBER AND FORESTS.
Georgia has approximately 20,000,000 acres of forest lands; 17,000 square miles are still covered with merchantable pine timber in which there are approximately 20,000,000,000 feet.
The present value of Georgia's naval stores-turpentine, etc.-is more than $10,000,000 a year.
Pine makes up about 40 per cent of Georgia's timber, oak 20 per cent and various other trees the remaining 40 per cent.
More than two thousand active sawmills in Georgia cut over 1,500,000,000 ft. of lumber a year, valued at more than $30,000,000.

Farm Mortgages
The Spirit of Improvement
1;.5~~QiiN the matter of farm mortgages in this State, figures of record are preferred to estimates. Since 1910, the~e has been no canvass made of this interesting subject. The figures which follow will afford a clear insight into the disposition of farmers to improve their property and otherwise advance their own welfare through the agency of the farm mortgage. Note how conservative Georgia farmers proved them
l,s;~~~ selves to be in 1910. Compare population, number of farms mortgaged, amount of debt incurred for the purpose of improving the whole property, paying off, perhaps,. a lot of small debts which, like the little foxes, spoil the vine.

INTEREST RATE REDUCED.
One of the best informed gentlemen on farm loans says, farms mortgage loans in this State now amount to $40,000,000, exclusive of loans obtained through the government farm loan agency.
The rate of interest at which farm loans may now be obtained is much lower than it was ten or fifteen years ago. The commissions for negotiating and finally obtaining a loan is more reasonable. As against 8 per cent per annum, ten years ago, the interest rate is now about 5% per cent per annum, and the commissions for negotiating a loan 5 per cent to 7 per cent, on a five year loan, as against the 20 per cent of preceding years.
73

The spirit of improvement is abroad in the land. What with good roads, through bond issues by counties and the financial co.. operation of the United States government, farmers will begin to improve their holdings of every kind, and country homes will take on a new beauty and an attractiveness that will be substantial.
PRICE OF LAND. The home-seeker is desirous to know the price of land. Reporta from 135 counties received to date, quote average land at $5 to $75 per acre. The general average is $30 per acre. A further analysis of the reports shows that seventy-five of the counties nHme $20 per acre as the average price. Proximity to city or town controls prices of land to a large extent. While there is considerable land held at still higher prices, sometimes as much as $200 per acre, it remains that good farming land can still be bought in this State at from $10 to $15 per acre.

Georgia's Counties

Brief Facts About Each of Them

l;i;;i~i)HE PRINCIPAL FACTS about each of the 154 counties of Georgia are sub-joined herewith, including, in the order named, the population, county seats and their population, taxable property, farm products, manufactures, altitude, temperature, area, character of soil, water supply, minerals and investments in cotton manufactures.
Official figures and information are given wherever possible and in most cases. Where official figures upto-date are not available, careful estimates, based on the latest official statistics, have been made. No attempt is made to give the average land value per acre in each county; values have been changing too rapidly-upward. The price ranges from $10 to $100 an acre. Some lands are held as high as $200 an acre. Farm lands all over the State are rapidly advancing in price, although many good farms can now be obtained at very reasonable prices.

The Story of Georgia
Told in Figures
a;;;;;;;~ IGURES are the back-bone of facts. To the person who wants re-inforced facts on Georgia, we know of no better way to give them than to print in detail the following tables, which give, by districts and counties, the statistics of the principal farm products of the State. These figures in every instance are the latest available. They proclaim emphatically the agricultural wealth of the State. Graphic maps are included, giving the county distribution of the various products. The great diversity of
the agricultural wealth of the State is illustrated, as well as the remarkable productivity of many of the counties.
The products included are as follows: Cotton, corn, wheat, oats, sweet and Irish potatoes, peanuts, hay, velvet beans, watermelons and cantaloupes, sorghum and sugar cane, together with horses, mules, cattle, sheep and swine, in addition to maps of the fruit and orchard products of the State.
