PROSPEROUS GEORGIA
The Ideal Home for All Classes.
Georgia, the youngest of the "Old Thirteen," and often styled the "Empire State of the South," offers to the homeseeker unsurpassed advantages in the variety of its climate, soil and productions. This great advantage arises from the fact that, lying between 30 21 39" and 35 of north lat itude, it embraces more than 4J/2 degrees of latitude. The topography of the country greatly increases this variety. The mountain section with elevations rising in some parts to 5,000 feet above sea level gives us at some points a climate like that of New England. As we go southward we find climates like those of the lower middle States and upper tier of Southern States, then the same as in the other South Atlantic and the Gulf States and by the time we reach the Florida line, we have passed through eight of the nine cli mate belts of the United States.
CLIMATE BELTS.
Of these eight climate belts of Georgia the lowest in tem perature is found on the highest of the mountain peaks, where the mean annual temperature is less than 40 degrees. On the sides of the highest mountains below the summit is a mean annual temperature of between forty and forty-five degrees, corresponding with upper New England, New York and the mountain region of Virginia. This, of course, is a small area.
A larger climate zone in the mountainous section of be tween forty-five and fifty degrees corresponds with portions of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Next, there is a zone of between fifty and fifty-five degrees, embxagjegrg-jiarrow

strip running through North Carolina and Virginia up to New Jersey. The area of the zone between fifty-five and sixty degrees which is two or three times as large as the preceding zones combined, passing through both the CaroJinas, ends in Virginia. The zone between sixty and sixty five of mean, annual temperature embraces nearly all of middle Georgia and is between the same isothermal lines as upper Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, West Ten nessee and Arkansas and extends into Virginia. The mean annual temperatures at some of the important stations in this zone are: Leo, 60.1; Borne, 61.9; Gainesville, 61.3; Atlanta, 61.4; Carrollton, 62; Oxford, 62.6; Athens, 63; Augusta, 64; LaGrange, 64.1; Thomson, 64.7. The climate of Atlanta corresponds with that of Washington, St. Louis and Louisville, the winters being warmer and the summers cooler.
The climate of Southern Georgia, being chiefly in the zone between sixty-five and seventy degrees of mean annual temperature, corresponds with that of lower Texas, Louis iana, Mississippi and upper Florida. In this zone are the following stations: Macon, 66.1; Swainsboro, 67; Cuthbert, 68.1; Americus, 68.2; Walthourville, 67.6; Brunswick, 68.7.
In the zone between seventy and seventy-five degrees there is one station, BJackshear, 70.2.
, In North Georgia the July temperature is between 75 and 80 degrees; in South Georgia between 80 and 85 de grees. For the whole State the July temperature is 81.8 degrees.
Snow seldom falls in South Georgia, is more frequent Jin Middle Georgia, and in the mountain regions increases greatly in frequency and depth.

AVERAGE RAINFALL.
The annual average rainfall in Georgia is 49.3 inches. The highest is at Rabun Gap, 71.7 inches, and the lowest at Swainsboro, 39.4 inches. For Middle Georgia the annual average rainfall is 49.7 inches; for Bast Georgia, 41.4 inches; and for Northwest Georgia, 60.3 inches. The aver age of the summer rainfall is: For North Georgia, 13.6 inches; for Southwest Georgia, 14.5 inches, and for the en tire State, 13.4 inches.
HIGHEST ELEVATIONS.
Sitting Bull,- middle summit of Nantahala in Towns county, has an elevation of 5,046 feet above sea level; Mona, east summit of Nantahala, 5,039 feet; Bnota, also in Towns county, 4,797 feet; Rabun Bald, in Rabun county, 4,718 feet; Blood, in Union county, 4,468 feet; Tray, in Habersham county, 4,403 feet; Cohutta in Fannin county, 4,155 feet; Dome in Towns county, 4,042 feet; Grassy in Pickens county, 3,290 feet; Tallulah, in Habersham county, 3,172 feet; Yona, in White county, 3,167 feet.
The Cohutta range has an altitude of 3,000 feet above sea level; Lookout Mountain range at its highest point, 2,408 feet. Other elevations are : Pigeon Mountain, 2,331 feet; Round Mountain, 2,200 feet; Taylors Ridge and White Oak Mountains, from 1,300 to 1,500 feet; Rocky Face Ridge, near Dalton, from 1,500 to 1,700 feet above sea level; Kennesaw Mountain, near Marietta, "with its double peak, 1,809 feet above sea level; Stone Mountain, 14 miles east of Atlanta, 1,686 feet above sea level and between 700 and 800 feet above the surrounding country. A few elevations in Middle Georgia, rising to a considerable height above the level country, are called mountains, as Pine and Oak Moun tains on the eastern border of Harris county, and Graves

PROSPEROUS GEORGIA

Mountain in Lincoln county. Atlanta, the capital of the State, is upon a ridge, which at its highest point rises to 1,050 feet above sea level. About 3,000 sqnare miles of the region along the Atlantic coast have an elevation of 100 feet. In Southwest Georgia there are hills which rise to an altitude of 500 feet above sea level.
The average elevations above sea level are: For the Northern section more than 1,000 feet; for the Middle sec tion, from 180 to 500 feet; for the Southern section from 100 to 500 feet,
In one or another of these sections can be raised the staple crops, vegetables and fruits of every part of the United States. Wheat finds a congenial soil in North and Middle Georgia, corn in every county, oats and rye in every part of the State, all varieties of grass for hay almost everywhere, sugar cane throughout Middle and Southern Georgia and cotton, our greatest money crop, in all except a few of our most northern and mountainous counties.

OOEN AND WHEAT.

Corn is next to cotton our greatest crop and many of our best farmers raise from 40 to 100 bushels to the acre. Some of our farmers raise enough wheat for home con sumption, but most of them do not do that. The reason for this is that they spend all their time and energy on cot ton. Those who pay the proper attention to it get splen did results from wheat, raising from 20 to 40 and some times 60 bushels to the acre.
A ^Vestern farmer, who is accustomed to look upon corn as Ms great money crop and wheat as ranking along withit, when he reads of an average for the State of from 8 to 10 bushels of wheat to the acre or of from 10 to 14 of corn, does not think much of Georgias productiveness. He does

not know that the average colored farmers and some of the white, cultivate in a haphazard sort of a "way, which lowers the average despite the good work of farmers, who by bet ter methods raise from 25 to 60 bushels of "wheat and from 40 to 100 and more bushels of corn to the acre. He has no way of judging Georgia by what can be done and is done by our best farmers, but by what appears in the statistical tables. These represent "what is done by all classes of farm ers, good, indifferent and bad. But the real capabilities of Georgia soil are shown by the work of our best class of farmers, who cultivate their land according to the best methods. In a corn contest in 1910 one Georgia farmer raised 194 bushels of corn upon one acre and another raised 154 bushels upon one acre.
Georgia, raised 61,160,000 bushels of corn in 1909, and in 1910 increased the yield to 64,808,000 bnshels. To en courage this good "work we publish here Mr. E. Mclver .Williamsons authorized description of the "Williamson Plan" of growing corn:
"For a number of years after I began to farm I fol lowed the old-time method of putting the fertilizer all un der the corn, planting on a level or higher, six by three feet, pushing the plant from the start and making a big stalk, but the ears were few and frequently small. I planted much corn in the spring and bought much more corn the next spring, until finally I was driven to the conclusion that com could not be made on uplands in this section, certainly not by the old method except at a loss.
"I did not give up, however, for I knew that a farmer who did not make his own corn never had succeeded, and never would, so I began to experiment. First, I planted lower, and the yield was better, but the stalk "was still too large, so I discontinued altogether the application of fer-

8

PROSPEROUS GEORGIA

tilizer before planting, and knowing that all crops should be fertilized at some time, I used mixed fertilizer as a side application and applied the more soluble nitrate of soda later, being guided in this by the excellent results obtained from its use as a top dressing for oats. Still the yield, though regular, was not large, and the smallness of the stalks now suggested that they should be planted thicker in the drill. This was done the next year with results so satisfactory that I continued from year to year to increase the number of stalks and the fertilizer, with which to sus tain them, also to apply nitrate of soda at last plowing, and to lay by early, sowing peas broadcast. This method steadily increased the yield, until year before last (1904), with corn eleven inches apart in six-foot rows and $11 worth of fertilizer to the acre, I made eighty-four bushels average to the acre several of my best acres making as much as 125 bushels.
"Last year .(1905), I followed the same method, plant ing the first week in April seventy acres which had pro duced the year before 1,000 pounds seed cotton per acre. This land is sandy upland, somewhat rolling. Seasons were very unfavorable, owing to the tremendous rains in May and the dry and extremely hot weather later. From June 12th to July 12th, the time when it most needed moisture, there was only five-eighths of an inch of rainfall here; yet with $7.91, cost of fertilizer, my yield was fifty-two bushels per acre. Bows were six feet and corn sixteen inches in drill.
"With this method, on land that will ordinarily pro duce 1,000 pounds of seed cotton with 800 pounds of fer tilizer, fifty bushels of corn per acre should be made by using 200 pounds of cotton seed meal, 200 pounds of acid phosphate, and 400 pounds of kainit mixed, or their equiva-

lent in other fertilizer, and 125 pounds of nitrate of soda, all to be used as side application as directed below.
"On land that "will make a bale and one-half of cotton per acre when well fertilized, a hundred bushels of corn should be produced by doubling tlie amount of fertilizer above, except that 300 pounds of nitrate ,of soda should be used.
"In each case there should be left on the land in corn stalks, peas, vines and roots, from $12 to $16 worth of fer tilizer material per acre, besides the great benefit to the land from so large an amount of vegetable matter. The place of this in the permanent improvement of the land can never be taken by commercial fertilizer, for it is absolutely impossible to make lauds rich as long as they are lacking in vegetable matter.
Land should be thoroughly and deeply broken for corn, and this is the time in a system of rotation to deepen the soil. Cotton requires a more compact soil than corn, and while a deep soil is essential to its best development, it will not produce as well on loose open land, while corn does best on land thoroughly broken. A. deep soil will not only produce more heavily than a shallow soil -with good sea sons, but it "will stand more wet as "well as more dry weather.
"In preparing for the corn crop, land should be broken broadcast during the winter one-fourth deeper than it has been plowed before, or if much vegetable matter is beingturned under, it may be broken one-third deeper. This is as much deepening- as land will usually stand in one year and produce well, though it may be continued each year, so long as much dead vegetable matter is being turned under. It may, however, be subsoiled to any depth by following in bottom of turn plow furrow, provided no more of the sub soil than has been directed is turned up. Break with two-

10

PROSPEROUS GEORGIA

horse plow if possible, or better, with, disc plow. With the latter, cotton stalks or corn stalks as large as we ever make can be turned under without having been chopped, and in pea-vines it will not choke or drag. Xcver plow land when it is1 wet, if you expect ever to have any use for it again.
"Bed with turn plow in six-foot rows, leaving- five-inch balk. When ready to plant, break this out "with scooter, following in bottom of this furrow deep with .Dixie plow, wing- taken off. Ridge then on this furrow with same plow, still going deep. Run corn planter on this ridge, dropping one grain every five or six inches. Plant early, as soon as frost dangler is past, Say first seasonable spell after March 15, in this section. Especially is early planting- necessary on very rich ]ands where stalks can not otherwise be pre vented from growing" too large. Give first "working with harrow or any plow that will not cover the plant. For second working, use ten or twelve-inch sweep on both sides of corn, which should now be about eight inches high. Thin after this working. Tt is not necessary that the plants shall be left all the same distance apart, if the right number re main to each yard or row.
"Corn should not be "worked again until the growth has been so retarded, and the stalk so hardened that it will never grow too large. This is the inost difficult point in the whole process. Experience and judgment are required to know just how much the stalk should be stunted, and plenty of nerve is required to hold, back your corn when your neighbors, wbo fertilized at planting time and cul tivated rapidly, have corn twice the size of yours. (They are having their fun now. Yours will come at harvest time.) The richer the land the more necessary it is that the stunting process should be thoroughly done.

"When you are convinced that your corn has been suf ficiently humiliated, you may begin to make the ear. It should now be from twelve to eighteen inches high, and look worse than you have ever had any corn to look before.
"Put half your mixed fertilizer (this being the first used at all) in the old sweop furrow on both sides of every other middle, and cover by breaking out this middle with turn plow. About one "week later treat the other middle the same way. Within a few days side corn in first mid dle with sixteeii-ineh sweep. Put all your nitrate of soda in this furrow, if less than 150 pounds. It more, use onehalf of it now. Cover with One furrow of turn plow, then sow peas in this middle broadcast at the rate of at least one bushel to the acre, and finish breaking out.
"In a few days side corn in other middle "with same sweep, |>ut balance of nitrate of soda in this furrow, if it lias been divided, cover with turn plow, sow peas, and break out. This lays by your crop with a good bed and plenty of dirt around your stalk. This should be from June 10th to 20th, unless the season is very late, and corn should be hardly bunching for tassel.
"L*ay by early. More corn is ruined by late plowing than by lack of plowing. This is when the ear is hurt. Two good rains after laying by should make you a good crop of corn, and it will certainly make "with much less rain than if pushed and fertilized in the old way.
"The stalks thus raised are very small, and do not re quire anything- like the moisture even in proportion to size, that is necessary for large sappy stalks. They may, there fore, be left much thicker in the row. This is no new pro cess. It has long been the custom to ent back vines and trees in order to increase the yield and quality of fruit, and

12

PROSPEROUS GEORGIA

so long as you do not hold back your corn, it will go, like mine so long: went, all to stalk.
"Do not be discouraged by the looks of your corn dur ing the process of cultivation. It will yield out of all pro portion to its appearance. Large stalks can not make large yields, except with extremely favorable seasons, for they
can not stand a lack of moisture. Early application of manure go to make large stalks, which you do not want, and the plant food is all thus used up before the ear, which you do want, is made. Tall stalks, not only will not pro duce well themselves, but "will not allow you to make the peavines, so necessary to the improvement of land. Corn raised by tins method, should never grow over seven and a half feet high, and the ear should be near to the ground.
"I consider the final application of nitrate of soda an essential point in this ear-making process. It should always be applied at last plowing and unmixed with other fertil izers.
"I am satisfied with one ear to the stalk, unless a pro lific variety is planted, and leave a hundred stalks for every bushel that I expect to make. I find the six-foot row easiest to cultivate without injuring the corn. For fifty bushels to the acre, I leave it sixteen inches apart; for seventy-five bushels to the acre, twelve inches apart, and for one hun dred bushels, eight inches apart. Corn should bo planted from four to six inches below the level, and laid by from four to six inches above. No hoeing- should be necessary, and middles may be kept clean until time to break out, by using harrow or by running one shovel furrow in center of middle and bedding on that, with one or more rounds of turn plow.
*I would advise only a few acres tried by this method the first year, or until you are familiar with its application.

Especially is it hard, at first, to fully carry out the stunt ing process, where a whole crop is involved, and this is the absolutely essential part of the process.
"This method I have applied, or seen applied, success fully, to all kinds of land in this section except wet lands and moist bottoms, and I am confident it can be made of great benefit, throughout the entire South.
"In the Middle West, where corn is so prolific and prof itable, and where, unfortunately for us, so much of ours has been produced, the stalk does not naturally grow large. As we come South its size increases, at the expense of the ear, until in Cuba and Mexico it is nearly all stalk (witness Mex ican varieties).
"The purpose of this method is to eliminate this ten dency of corn to overgrowth at the expense of yield, to this Southern climate.
"By this method I have made my corn crop more prof itable than my cotton crop, and my neighbors and friends who have adopted it, have, without exception, derived great; benefit therefrom.
"Plant your own seed. I wovld not advise a change of seed and method the same year, as you will not then know from which you derived the benefit. I have used three varieties, and all have done well. I have never used this method for late planting;. In fact, I do not advise the late planting of corn, nnless it be necessary for cold lowlands.
" The increased cost of labor and the high price of all material and land are rapidly making farmingunprofitable, except to those who are getting- from one acre what they formerly got from two. We must make our lands richer by plowing deep, planting peas and other legumes, manur ing them with acid phosphate and potash, which are rela tively cheap, and returning to the soil the resultant vegeta-

14

ble matter rich in humus and expensive nitrogen. The needs of our soil are such that the South can never reap the full measure of the prosperity that should be hers, until this is done.
"I give this method as1 a farmer to the farmers of the South, trusting that thereby they may be benefited as I have been."
In 1900 the average yield of wheat in Georgia was for the whole State only 9.1 bushels to the acre. Yet that same year in Spalding county one farmer raised 65 bushels to the acre, another 59^/z and other farmers in Bibb county raised 39 3/7 and 4114 bushels to the acre. There is abundance of land rn Middle and North Georgia that can produce as well as the cases just mentioned. The ^Vestern farmer who wishes to raise wheat in North or Middle Georgia can get the best results. But, if he is not careful, he will yield to the enticements of cotton like the rest of them.

OATS.

Oats, which show an average yield of from 15 to 19 bushels to the acre, under the care of our best farmers readily produce from 75 to 137 bushels to the acre.

RYE AI^D BARLEY.

Rye and barley also do "well for any farmers, who give attention to them.

HAT.

Georgia is the home of many varieties of grasses suita ble for the most succulent hay. Bermuda and the vetches, crow foot and crab grass groyw wild. Pea vines, sorghum, clover, red or white, Japan clover, German millet, Johnson grass and many other varieties yield abundantly.

ALFALFA, the queen of clovers and one of the best farm diversifiers, long grown to a limited extent under the name of "Lucerne" is, wherever cultivated one of the most suc cessful crops. If a Western farmer desires to cultivate this crop in Georgia, he can harvest from five to eight cut tings per annum a ton to a ton and a half to the acre at each cutting after he gets his stand.
To the Western farmer we would say: The only ques tion about your success with alfalfa in Georgia is, whether you will riot become so carried away with cotton raising as to turn from hay making to Georgias greatest staple. That has been the trouble witli Georgia farmers, most of whom are so infected with the all cotton craze, that they slight every other crop. Take care that you avoid,the contagion."

COTTON.
Cotton is Georgias great money crop and does well in every section of the State, being raised profitably in all but a few of the most Northern counties. Even very ordinary land with intelligent cultivation will produce a bale to the acre and many farmers in different sections of the State have by the use of hybrid seed increased the yield of short staple cotton to three and sometimes four bales to the acre.
The sea island or long staple cotton yields on the aver age about % of a bale to the acre, but it varies in value from 20 to 35 cents a pound. "Floradora" cotton, a cross between the long and short staples, can be made to produce from one to two bales to the acre as far North as the foot hills of the Mountain section and sells a,t from three to five cents a pound higher than short staple varieties. The United States Bulletin 107 on cotton production for the season of 1909-1910, issued June 15th, 1910, says: "Espe cially favorable conditions have existed during the last

three years in Georgia and the two Carolinas. The com bined production of these three States in 1909 is only 6.3 per cent, less than that of 1908, whereas the crop of the entire country is 24.1 per cent. less.
Georgia produced in 1909 only 126,801 bales less than in 1908, North Carolina only 47,605 bales less, and South Carolina only 69,186 bales less. These three States con tributed in 1909 about 35 per cent, of tie entire produc tion.
"Among the reasons assigned by the agents for compar atively good crops, especially in the Carolinas and Georgia, the following are characteristic and suggestive: Deep and thorough preparation of the soil, careful seed selection, more and better fertilization, superior cultural methods, favorable weather conditions and ample labor for cultivat ing and harvesting."

SUGAR CANE.

This is grown to a considerable extent in Middle and South Georgia. The Georgia cane syrup has a national reputation.
RICE.

Not as nruch attention is paid to rice in Georgia as in former years. "Wherever cultivated the quality of the Geor gia product is superior to that of Texas and Louisiana.
The average yield is about twelve barrels to the acre and in favorable seasons there is a second crop of from eight to ten barrels. The approximate price is $3.50 a barrel.
"We can not do better than reprint the following from our Bulletin No. 43-C on "Georgia, the Empire State of the South:"

TOBACCO.
Georgia has the largest tobacco plantation in the wirld, embracing twenty-five thousand acres and employing three thousand five hundred persons. These twenty-five thou sand acres are of greater value than any gold mine on the continent. In the recent hearing before the Senate Com mittee on the Philippine Tariff Bill, the general superin tendent of the plantation testified that this Georgia farm produced two-thirds of all the Sumatra tobacco used for wrapper purposes in the United States!
About one thousand acres are under shade and they pro duce annually one million pounds of tobacco, and the profit derived therefrom is one million dollars. The owners of this farm also buy besides, all that the farmers outside can produce, perhaps two million pounds additional.
"The value of the tobacco product ranges from seventyfive cents for the varieties grown in the open to $4.20 per pound for the high-grade, shade grown Sumatra. The average yield is about one thousand pounds per acre; the returns are, therefore, quickly calculated for yourself. It is a quick crop, too; planted in April, it is sold in August.

"The truck and market garden crops must not be lost sight of in calculating the possible agricultural wealth of Georgia. On account of the superior quality of the Geor gia grown garden produce, and the convenient methods of transportation, the trucking industry is receiving attention from both native and newcomer, until now the early prod ucts of the Georgia truck farm are supplanting the Florida varieties in the markets of the Bast and "West.
"However, the experienced trucker in Georgia does not find it necessary to grow his crops for a distant market.

Georgia contains thirty-one towns and cities with popula tions in excess of 2,500; they are all thriving and growing: and developing at a rapid rate. Official returns for one of these towns indicate an increase in population of seventyfour per cent, for the current year, and they all furnish ex ceptional opportunities and advantages for the experienced truck gardener.
To cite an example: a few years ago a Chinaman visited one of the larger of these cities to investigate with a view to opening a laundry; he found that branch of industry well tilled, and finally rented two average sized city lots and went into market gardening. Most of his ready money was laid out in rents and seed, so he hired a man who owned the necessary implements to break up and harrow the land; the seed was planted and cultivated by the Chinaman with a hoe. This man recently disposed of his lease on the prop erty to a fellow countryman, and with several thousand good American dollars dug out of these two lots in the short space of a few years, returned to his native land to dream out the remainder of his days in opulence.
"There is 110 month in the year that some truck crop can not be grown and marketed profitably in every section of the State, and another beauty about the situation is, that you can work anywhere in the State in the open air 365 days in every year barring- rain, of which the average is small but sufficient to produce abundantly the crops of this section of the South.

The onion is a very popular truck crop, and returns from it are phenomenal. One Georgia grower of spring onions cleared $200 from three-quarters of an acre tbis spring. The Bermuda variety is also prolific. The yield averages

about ten thousand pounds per acre, and the price, depen dent largely on the time -of the year and the handling- of the crop, ranges from two a.nd one-half cents per pound early in the season to one cent per pound, later on, which is a safe average price.
POTATOES.
"The potato is such a common crop all ovei* the country that it may be thought an unprofitable one here in Georgia where other and rarer crops can be produced to siich great advantage. The reverse, however, is true.
"The new Irish potato of South Georgia quickly follows the Florida product to market, and the qanlity of the Geor gia vegetable is so superior that the demand for it quickly forces the Florida grower from the field. The first ship ments usually reach the market late in March and the averaverage price is around $3.00 to $3.50 per bushel.
"The sweet potato is another staple truck crop, and the Georgia product has a quality that is all its own there is nothing grown anywhere in the potato line that can a,pproach the Georgia "yellow" or "pumpkin" yam in deliciousness of flavor. The sweet potato yield can be made three hundred and fifty bushels per acre and the prices range from seventy-five cents to two dollars per bushel, according to the time of year and the handling* of the crop. A fair average price is about one dollar per bushel.
TOMATOES.
"Midwinter tomatoes in eOorg-ia are another delicacy. They can be produced not only for the holiday market, but can be shipped during- January and February. Not as much attention has been given this crop as might have been done profitably. Growers realize from $200 to $4-00 per acre from the crop, and they are easily grown.

CUCUMBERS.

"One of the most prolific crops is cucumbers, and large .shipments from the trucking districts are made all during the spring- and they "bring good prices. The yield per acre is two hundred to two hundred and fifty bushels, and from $150 to $200 per acre is realized from this crop.
OTTTEB VEGETABLES.
"Not only tlie vegetables enumerated above, but practi cally every other variety can be produced in abundance in every section of Georgia. String beans come into the mar ket early in the spring* and are marketed at good prices ranging from $2.00 to $3.50 per crate. A net profit of $200 per acre from carrots is a common thing. Beets yield prolifically and bring high prices when shipped "with the tops on in the early spring. One gardener realized over $500 from one-quarter acre of spinach. Another marketed $300 worth of kale from one and one-half acres, and $150 worth of lettuce from one-third of an acre. Cabbage will easily return $400 to $500 per acre and cauliflower from $200 to $250 per acre.
" Roasting ears, in the extreme South, can be grown for the Christmas market, while radishes and other vege tables can be kept on the market most of the winter. As paragus, celery, peas, turnips in fact every vegetable crop can be grown in abundance. It is doubtful if there is another locality in the "United States that will profitably produce in proximity to such splendid home markets, such a wide variety of truck and garden crops as Georgia.

come. This is one of the most unique developments in Georgia or any other section of the United States. Only within the past few years did it become known that Geor gia soil, climate and other conditions favored commercial peach culture, but such has been the rapidity with which this industry has expanded that it is questionable if any other section can exceed it.
* Forty years ago the only commercial peach orchard in the State embraced some forty acres only; it was owned by Mr. J. D. Ounningham, and situated within fifty miles of Atlanta. The success of this grower was such as to encour age him to enlarge Ms operations until finally he had sixty thousand trees in bearing. A son of this pioneer grower now has two hundred and fifty thousand in bearing, and the immense orchards of Judge Gober, the Hale-Georgia Orchard Company, and J. H. Eumph, who originated the famous "Elberta," that thrives in Georgia as nowhere else, have made the State celebrated at home and abroad.
"The only complete peach crop failures in Georgia were during the early period of experimentation some ten years ago. In the past ten years there has been one failure, four partial failures and five highly successful crops. The State, contains about eighteen million trees, of which about twelve million are in bearing. The yield of a normal season is approximately ten million bushels of luscious fruit valued at about $5,000,000.
"Commercial fruit culture in Georgia is at present prac tically limited to the peach; but plums, apples, pears, and all the berries of the United States, except the red currants and gooseberries, may he raised profitably everywhere in the State. The home markets consume practically all of these products now produced, though occasionally Georgia figs and strawberries are found on the stalls of the Eastern

and Western markets and they always command prices in advance of the ruling prices of similar fruits from other sections.
MELOISTS.
"The celehrated Eocty Ford cantaloupe thrives in Geor gia as in no other section of the Southeast. The soil and climatic conditions appear to be ideal for the production of this and kindred varieties of this very popular melon. The yields are abundant and the profits large.
"The Georgia water melon is famed all over the United States, and approximately ten thousand carloads are now profitably marketed each season."
~We would add to the above statements about fruits in Georgia, that from the present outlook we can safely pre dict that in a few years the apple crop of our State will rival that of the peach in production and value. North Georgia is leading in this industry.
From our May Crop Report for 1910 we quote as fol lows :
There has been a marked improvement over last year in the fruit crop of Georgia. This improved condition exists in each section, but to a greater degree in Middle and South Georgia.
Prof. Worsharn, the State entomologist, reports that more attention than ever before is being paid to the proper care of orchards and to picking, packing and marketing of fruit, all of which means that the standard of Georgia fruit is higher than in any previous year in the history of this important industry. Much of this better state of affairs is due to the labors of Prof. Worsham and his predecessors and to their faithful assistants, much to the Georgia Fruit exchange and all to the blessing" of God upon their labors. It required G,100 cars to move Georgias peach crop this

year. Although many trees were cut down a year ago, there are still in Georgias peach orchards some 16,000,000 trees, of which Prof. Worsham reports 13,000,000 in fine condition. There has.been an increase of something over 20% of apple trees in Georgia since the census report of 1900 which means about 30,000 in new orchards. These are our leading fruit crops in Georgia. There are also plums, pears, cherries, figs, pomegranates, and on the Florida border oranges and lemons. There is a falling off in the number and area of our vineyards, but to what extent we are not prepared to say. There is an increase of scuppernongs but a falling off in the classes of grapes that re quire more careful attention.
NTJTS. Nuts of the best varieties abound in Georgia. The black walnut, richest of all nuts, is found in profusion aH over the State. There are also gathered large quantities of hick ory nuts. English walnuts and pecans do "well in every sec tion. There are large pecan groves near West Point in Troup county and Monticello in Jasper county, several groves in Mitcliell county, one of which covers 100 acres, a grove of 1,000 trees in Dougherty county, several groves in Berrien and Tift counties, also in Hancock and Spalding counties, another large grove near Rome, and trees which bear abundantly in Richmond county and in the city of Augusta. At Baconton and DeWitt in Mitchell county are the lar gest pecan groves in Georgia. It is claimed that within a radius of a few miles of Baconton there are more acres in cultivated orchards than within any other equal area in the world. Peanuts or ground peas (also called goobers and pinders) are raised in great abundance all over Georgia, and those in the Southern section are especially valuable for

making peanut oil and peanut butter. The spreading branches of the white peanut lie flat upon the ground, while those of the red peanut and Spanish peanut have an upright growth. Well cured peanut hay affords a fine stock feed, especially for ewes in lambing season. The harvesting must take place before frost.
The Chufa, a species of ground or grass nut, has a pleas ant taste, and by some farmers is much esteemed for fat tening hogs.
We quote again from Bulletin 43-C.
DAiirerNe AMD LIVE STOCK.
"Georgia has the second best dairy in the United States so conceded by Prof. Spillman, of the United States De partment of Agriculture. Now think of that, an officer of the Agricultural Department of the Government, who is familiar with all the dairy districts in this country, con cedes the second best dairy farm in the United States to Georgia!
"The land upon which the farm is situated is the typical red clay soil of Northern Georgia which usually sells at from $10.00 to $20.00 per acre; the farm contains 400 acres of which 135 are under cultivation, feeding a herd of 145 head of cattle. About seventy-five ,of the cattle are milk cows; the sweet milk is sold locally at fifteen cents per gal lon, and from a town of 2,500 population, $150 from this source is realized each month. Eighty pounds of butter is the daily output, or 25,000 per annum, all of which is con tracted for by a firm in one ol the larger cities at twentyfive cents per pound.
"The gross income from this farm is about $8,000 per annum, or $50.00 per acre of which $30.00 to $35.00 is net.
"As we have before stated, Georgia contains thirty-one towns and cities of more than 2,500 inhabitants, and they

are growing and expanding by leaps and bounds. There are advantageous locations near every one of them for from . three to half a dozen experienced dairymen, truck garden ers or poultry "ranchers." Your output can be disposed of at one hundred per cent, profit to dealers in the large centers, and if a dairyman,, your milk will pay the expenses of operation.
"Georgia is destined to become one of the greatest live stock producing sections of the United States. Soil, cli mate and other conditions are all favorable, and at various times for many years, attention has been directed to the possibilities of cattle ranching in this State.
"First: Georgia is a natural grass country. There are no better or finer pastures in the world than flourish throughout the State, and tens of thousands of tons of suc culent hays are cured every season on Georgia farms that rival in every respect the product of the so-called Western hay States.
Second: In Georgia the rancher, or cattleman is 800 to 1,000 miles nearer the Eastern markets, and he can put his cattle into New York, where they are as good as gold in the United States Mint, as cheaply as the Western pro ducer can put Ms stock into Omaha.
"Third: The climate is such that you can ship all of the year; your cattle "will not freeze, or starve or die on the road. Cattle shipped from any point in Georgia today are in New York tomorrow!
"The Red Poll, the Hereford and grades of these breeds, crossed on native stock are the popular beef type cattle. Sheep and Angora and Merino goats thrive well here. However, stock breeding here as elsewhere, is a matter of development, not only of the cattle and of the pastures and

FOREST TIMBERS.

The forest timbers of Georgia are many and valuable. Those of Northwest Georgia embrace six varieties of oak (red, white mountain or chestnut, black, water and podt oak), two varieties of pine (short-leaf and long-leaf, the lat ter differing from the long-leaf of Southern Georgia), pop lar, ash, beech, elm, chestnut, hickory, maple, (including the sugar maple), walnut, iron-wood, sugar-berry, sycamore, sweet-gum, black-gum, dogwood, persimmon, sassafras, wild cherry, red-bud, warhoo and cedar. Many of these are found in large quantities and are useful for the manufac ture of furniture and hardwood finish for dwellings. The oaks and pines are much used in the construction of build ings, the manufacture of furniture, farming utensils, wagons, etc. Large quantities of the oak and pine are an nually shipped.
In the forests of Northeast and Middle Georgia are found in the red lands, Spanish, white and post oaks, hick ory, chestnut, dogwood, persimmon, sassafras, and in the lowlands of some of the counties short-leaf pine, poplar, ash, walnut, cherry and buckeye. There is more hickory and less pine than on gray, sandy land. With these black jack is freely interspersed.
Throughout the sand and pine-hill belt of Middle and South Georgia the prevailing timbers are pines, both long and short-leaf. There are also found some scrub black jack, >oak, sweetgnms and dogwood and along the streams are undergrowths of bay and gall-berry bushes.
Among the red hills throughout the section lying be tween the Savannah and Flint rivers, the timbers are oak,

hickory, short-leaf pine and dogwood, with beech, maple and poplar on the lowlands.
Throughout the yellow-loam region are oak, hickory and long-leaf pines.
What is known as the long-leaf pine region embraces 17,000 square miles. Tlie forests of this section are a greatsource of wealth to the State. The timber lands are beingput under cultivation, as fast as they are cleared. The pine and palmetto flats around the Okefenokee swamp fur nish large quantities of long-leaf pine, cypress and saw pal metto, which are found also along the creek bottom and hammock lands, together with black-gum, tupelo gum, titi and maple.
Throughout the coast region are found also magnificent live-oaks, rod and water oaks, red cedar, hickory, chincapin, sassafras, cabbage and blue palmetto.
GEOLOGY A^D MTKIKG.
Georgia is divided into three main geological areas. The Paleozoic division in which are represented Cambrian, Silurian, Devonian and Carboniferous formations is found in the Northwest section of Georgia a.nd embrace the coun ties of Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield, Chattooga, Floyd and the larger portions of Murray, Gordon. Bartow and Polk. Shales, sandstones, limestones, quartzites and cherts are abundant. Valuable deposits of coal, iron, manganese, roofing slate and aluminum (or banxite), are found in this region of parallel mountain ridges and valleys. The Crys talline area includes a much larger portion of the State, embracing all those parts not in the Paleozoic area that run north of a line drawn from Northeast to Southwest, through Augusta, Milledgeville, Macon and Columbus. Here are found granites, gneisses and schists, while on the border of the Palaeozoic and Crystalline areas are found

the marbles for which Georgia has become famous in every section of the Union. The.marble belt traverses Fannin, Giliner, Pickens and Cherokee counties, and the most im portant quarries are found in Pickens county.
MARBLE.
Georgia today produces more marble for various pur poses than any other State in the TJnioii, except Vermont. The marbles of Georgia occur in a narrow belt about sixty miles long, in the Northern portion of the State, and here can be seen the crude implements and vessels fashioned by the Indians early in the last century. Only within the past twenty years, however, have the immense deposits,, of the valuable material been opened and developed ^systematically, and the annual output is now valued at considerably more than $1,000,000.
Georgia marble is of such quality and texture, and is found in such variety of colors, that this particular branch of industrial development will assume far greater propor tions in the immediate future than at present, notwith standing- the fact that the output is now about thirty-five per cent, of the famous Vermont quarries, from which the bulk of this material used at present in the United States is secured.
Some of the Georgia marble beds have been pierced to a depth of over two hundred feet, and as yet there is no sign to indicate that the stratum has been worked through. Very few of the Green Mountain deposits exceed this depth. The texture of this stone is said to be the finest in the world; it does not possess the element of disintegration so noticeable in the Italian varieties, and acids or stains of any character can be readily wiped off its surface with cold "water and a sponge. This one resource has already given Georgia a national reputation; her marbles have been used

in many of the countrys moat notable structures, including a number of State capitol buildings and the famous Corcoran Art Gallery at "Washington. It is claimed that in the great quarries at Tate there is marble enough to cut a million cubic feet a year for 5,000 years.

GBANITE AND GNEISS A1TO LlMESTONE.
It is claimed, and justly, that the granite, gneiss and limestone of Georgia are of quality and extent sufficient to pave the streets of every city in the United States, and then leave a surplus amply sufficient to meet the requirements of ordinary building operations for many years to come. Stone Mountain, an immense deposit of high-grade granite, said to be the largest single rock in America, seven miles in circumference and eight hundred feet high, rears its majes tic head within sight from the windows of Atlantas busi ness district. Extensive quarrying operations have been carried on here for many years. Another belt of highgrade blue granite traverses middle Georgia.
Near Lithonia immense quantities of contorted gneiss are quarried for curbing- and paving, while limestones and sand stones in abundant quantity are scattered throughout the State.
Limestone for calcimining is found not only in the Pal aeozoic and Crystalline areas in Northwest and Northeast Georgia, but also in localities in the coastal plain region which includes all the Southern part of Georgia. In this coastal plain region marls and phosphate abound.
Limestone for building purposes is found in beds throughout the counties embraced in the Palaeozoic area and in Hall and Habersham counties of the Crystalline area.

BAUXITE.
Bauxite is the hydrate of the metal aluminum, and is the principal source of the aluminum of commerce. Georgia now leads in the production of this mineral, which brunch of mining is susceptible of further development on a large scale on account of the rapidly increasing consumption of aluminum.
The most extensive deposits are in Floyd and Bartow counties, but this mineral is also found in Polk, Walker and Chattooga counties.

Ueposits of corundum occur in Rabun, Towns, Union, Habersbam, Carroll and Heard counties. Near the Caro lina line in JJabim county on Laurel creek is the largest cornndum mine in Georgia and one of the most noted in the United States.
COAL.
The coal fields of Georgia are mostly in Uade and Walker counties and are a continuation of the Warrior fields of Alabama. The annual output approximates 300,000 tons with a value of about $250,000. A large per cent, of the coal mined in Georgia is converted into coke.

The iron ores are in the Pala>ozic area, the brown ores being found in I3artow, Polk and Floyd counties, and the red ores being mined in Walker and Chattooga counties.
The iron, deposits of the State furnish, one of the most valuable of its varied mineral products, and include not only hematite, but magnetite and limonite of such extent tlmt ore mining presents a promising field for the capital ist and trained worker. The few furnaces now located in

Georgia are already celebrated for the high-grade pig iron they produce, due principally to the high qxiality of the abundant supply of raw material.

GOLD.
Before the discovery of gold in California the gold mines of Georgia "were highly esteemed. For a time the excitement over the rich mines of California caused a great decrease in mining operations in Georgia. But in recent years there has been a great awakening in the gold region of the State. The gold deposits are found in four belts, of which, the first runs through Rabun, Habersham, White, Lumpkin, Dawson, Forsyth, Cherokee, Cobb, Bartow, Paulding and Haralson counties. The second belt tra verses Babun, Habersham, Hall, Gwinnett, Forsyth, Mil ton, DeKalb and Fulton counties. A third gold belt passes across Cobb, Paulding and Carroll counties. There is a fourth gold belt which passes through Lincoln, Columbia, McDuffie and ^Varren counties in the southwest part of the Crystalline area. In the counties of Towns, Union, Gilmer, Fannrn and Meriwether are scattering deposits of gold.
OTHER MINERALS.
Of other minerals pyrite is found in Lumpkin county, copper in Murray and Fannin counties; talc in Murray, Fannin and Cherokee; mica in Union and Fannin, and barite in Bartow. Ochre abounds in large beds and there are considerable quantities of slate.
Near the town of Emerson, in Bartow county, graphite abounds.
PRECIOUS STORES. Several precious stones are found in Georgia; ame thysts in Eabun county; a few diamonds in Hall; some good moonstones in TJpson county, and in the northeast part of

the Crystalline area have been found rubies and sapphires of small size.

THE CLAYS OF GTEOBGIA.

Through all that part of Greorgia north of what is called the fall line, which runs from Aug-usta through Macoii to Columbus, are found clays suitable for the manufacture of common brick and the coarser g-rades of earthenware.
Immediately below this fall line there is a narrow belt running- across tile State in which are found clays suitable for the manufacture of porcelain, enameled brick, ehina ware, terra eotta, sewer pipe, etc., in fact, everything- in the jug- and stoneware line.
Georgias niie clays are said to be the finest in the world and capable of standing a higher degree of heat than arjy clay yet found.
At numerous points along this belt extensive plants for the manufacture of porcelain, enameled brick, sewer pipe, china wares, terra cotta and roofing tile have been estab lished, while immense quantities o pure white kaolin, used extensively in the manufacture of -wall paper, is mined and exported from the State.

MABLS AND PHOSPHATES.

In the counties forming- the lower boundary of the State, numerous beds of marl occur that are said to be equal in plant food to those of New Jersey. Deposits of phosphate in greater or less quantities, but of very higi quality are also found in the Southern section of the State.
The annual output of all the minerals of Georgia is more than $10,000,000. At the State capitol can be seen a fine display of Gfe-org-in s minerals, forest trees and agricultural products.

MINERAL SPRINGS.
Mineral Springs are found in Georgia in the Palaeozoic and Crystalline areas. Among those of medical value are chalybeate, sulphurous and lithia waters. According to the report of the United States Geological Survey the output of the mineral "waters of Georgia in 1898 was 197,100 gal lons, valued at $39,230.
AKTESIAN "WELLS.
Artesian wells are confined, with a few exceptions, to the coastal plain region. Almost all this portion of the State is underlaid by pervious beds, "which, when pierced by the drill, furnish large quantities of pure, wholesome water. Not all of these water-hearing beds furnish flow ing wells. But those non-flowing wells furnish large quan tities of pure water, "which can be brought to the surface by pumps.
The average depth, of the wel]s already bored is about 450 feet. The various strata penetrated consist of soft limestones, clays and sands. Thus the wells can be had for very little outlay of money.
The sanitary advantages that have resulted to many towns and localities all over the South Georgia coastal plain through the pure, wholesome drinking "water of the artesian wells, are seen in the fact that sections once dreaded as malarial and sickly are now considered among the most salubrious in the State and are increasing more rapidly in population than even the hill country of North Georgia. The leading towns of this section are now supplied with water from artesian wells.
WATEK POWERS.

that runs a small neighborhood mill, to the great shoals and falls that furnish from 20,000 to 30,000 horsepower, and run mighty flouring mills and cotton factories.
With the exception of a few notable cases, the largest water powers of Georgia occur at or just above what is known as the Southern Fall Line, running from Augusta on the Northeast down through Macon in Central Georgia to Columbus on the Southwest, where the streams pass from the hard rocks of the Crystalline area to the softer forma tions of the Coastal plain; and on the Western Fall Line, formed by the contact of the Palaeozoic and Crystalline areas in the Northwest, passing through Polk, Bartow, Gordon and Murray counties.
Along these fall lines are located the large water pow ers. But numerous other powers are to be found at various points on different, streams throughout the State.

MANUFACTURES.

Georgia, on account of her progressive spirit, displayed especially in manufacturing enterprises and railroad con struction, received in the early thirties the proud title, "Empire State of the South," and this title she still worth ily wears. By the United States census reports of 1900 there were 7,504 manufacturing establishments in Georgia, with a total capital of $89,789,656, employing 83,842 per sons and turning out products valued at $106,654,527. Of these establishments, 3,015 having a capital of $79,303,316, employing 83,336 wage-earners and manufacturing prod ucts valued at $94,532,368 were selected for comparison with a class of establishments included in the census of 1905, when the number of establishments reported was 3.219, the capital $135,211,551, the number of wage earners

92,749 and the value of products $150,040,455. The percentage of increase in this class was therefore 6.8 per cent, in the number of establishments, 70.5 per cent, in capital, 11.3 per cent, in the number of wage earners, and 59.8 per cent, in the value of products.
By the twelfth census there were in Georgia 68 cotton mills, with 817,345 spindles and 19,398 looms. In United States bulletin Number 63, on the supply and distribution of cotton for the year ending August 31, 1906, Georgia made the following showing: 138 establishments (or mills), 1,573,450 spindles, of which 26,452 were idle and 1,546,998 in operation. The number of active spindles in 1905 was 1,331,765. Thus there was an increase of 215,233 active spindles from 1905 to 1906.
The number of active spindles in Georgia on August 31, 1909, was 1,797,484. The total number of spindles on the same date was 1,831,714. The number of mills for the year ending August 31st, 1907, was 149 and for the correspond ing date of 1908 was 354. There was a slight falling off in 1908 in the number of pounds of cotton used by the mills, due to financial stringency. The amount used was in round numbers 230,000,000 pounds. The cotton consumed by the Georgia mills in 1909 was 523,646 bales weighing 261,823,000 pounds.
On September 1. 1910, Georgia had 160 cotton mills, with 2,039,942 spindles and 41,089 looms. The above num ber of mills includes woolen mills and knitting mills that do not spin. This class of mills is omitted in the following table of Southern cotton mills "which appeared in the August 1st, 1910, edition of the American Textile Manufacturers Southern Cotton Mill Directory:

The cotton gins, "which in 1900 numbered 4,729, running for four months, have increased to more than 8,000, in about 4,800 establishments or ginneries. It was while Eli Whitney was living in Georgia that he invented the cotton gin.
The cotton oil mills in operation in 1901 numbered 58 and paid above $5,000,000 for cotton seed, whose finished products were valued at $14,000,000. In 1904 there were 104 cotton mills and the increase of their business was cor respondingly great. For the season of 1906-07, there were registered 129. There were in 1909 in Georgia 130 oil mills whose finished products were valued at $17,000,000.
The fertilizer establishments registered with the Com missioner of Agriculture for the season of 1903 and 1904 numbered 145. Many of these do a very heavy business all over the Southern States. For the season of 1906-07 they numbered 198, and 220 in 1909.

There were reported in 1900, 1,254 establishments with a capital of $11,802,716 engaged in the lumber industry. In the manufacture of turpentine and rosin Georgia was second in 1905 and Florida first. In 1907 the amount of lumber cut in Georgia was 853,697,000 feet.
OTHEK MANUFACTURES are printing establishments, flour and grist mills, woolen mills, furniture factories, ornamen tal iron works, foundries, blast furnaces, carriage factories, car shops, black-smithing and wheelwrighting, manufacto ries of brick, tile and pottery, manufactories of paints, chemicals, ice, electric light plants, carpenter work, can ning factories, creameries and numerous others. Among the most important manufactories of the State are the mar ble and stone works, turning out the building and paving stones and splendid marbles for which Georgia is so famous throughout the Union. By the report for 1905 Georgia had six creameries, and there are hundreds employed in the dairy business in every section of the State.
Georgia had, in 1905, 114 flour and grist mills, with a capital of $1,875,718, with products valued at $8,178,926 for wheat and corn.

When the colony of Georgia was founded by Oglethorpe, it w^as intended to be a silk producing country. Efforts are being made to revive this industry. In 1902 a silk-growers association was formed in Atlanta, consisting of members from many districts in the State. A plan is now on foot to construct a silk mill of very large capital at Tallulah Falls.
RAILROADS.
.Georgia has a magnificent railroad system, covering the State like a vast net work, and having a total of 6,704 44 miles. The grand trunk lines are very energetic in adver tising the advantages of the sections through which they pass, the Southern and Central being especially noted for the good work which they are doing in Georgia.

GOOD ROADS.
The number of good country roads is increasing all over the State. Among the best are the roads running out from Atlanta to College Park, Peachtree Creek, the waterworks and Decatur. Many miles of well-graded, macadamized roads are found in the counties of Fulton, Floyd, Bartow, Bibb, Richmond, Jefferson, Emariuel, Spalding, Meriwether and Chatham. The shellroad from Savannah to Bonaventure and Thunderbolt, also the road from that city to Beaulieu and Isle of Hope, were noted before the Civil ^Var. Some of the macadamized roads leading out from Rome, in Floyd county, are built of hard limestone and marble. The country roads which radiate from Augusta and Macon, forming the favorite drives of the citizens, are among the best. The same may be said of the shellroads of Grlynn county centering in the city of Brunswick, and of the wellgraded drives through the fragrant pines that go out from Thomasville into the surrounding country.
Grlynn county is at this time building a magnificent road system and all the counties from Augusta in Richmond to the Florida line are busy in preparing a splendid automo bile driveway. Thomas county, also in far Southwest Georgia is aroused by the idea of a round the State auto mobile road. Already the counties from Fulton to the Northeast have made rapid strides to the completion of Georgias part of a magnificent inter-State road from At lanta to New York. The automobile is doing a good work by inciting the attention of the people everywhere to road building.

ASSESSED VALUATION-.
The assessed valuation of Georgias property for the year 1910 was $766,118,000. The true valuation is esti mated at $1,532,237,000. The tax rate is $5.00 a thousand.
EDUCATION.
Georgia is well supplied with schools, both public and private.
The public school system embraces 7,828 school houses, of which 4,805 are for white and 3,023 for colored. There are 12,231 teachers, of whom 8,408 are white and 3,823 colored. The number of pupils enrolled in 1909 was 547,912 of whom 330,173 were white and 217,739 colored. The average attendance "was 211,854 white and 145,856 colored.
One of the leading higher institutions of learning is the University of Georgia, of which the principal buildings are at Athens. Connected with this is an Agricultural College with a full four year course. The agricultural educational facilities include an Agricultural Normal School in each Congressional district, eleven in all, with curriculum mod eled largely after the agricultural schools of Denmark.

STATE GOVERNMENT.

The present constitution of the State of Georgia, which was adopted in 1877, guards carefully the rights of the peo ple and prevents extravagant appropriations by the Legis lature. The governor is elected for two years and can be re-elected for a second term; after that he retires. His salary is $5,000 per annum. The State House officers are as follows : Attorney-General, Comptroller-General, Adju tant-General, Treasurer, Secretary of State, State School Commissioner, Commissioner of Agriculture, State Geolo gist, State Librarian, Commissioner of Pensions, three Prison Commissioners and three Railroad Commissioners.
The Supreme Court consists of one Chief Justice and five Associate Justices. There are twenty-four Superior Court Circuits, each having a judge and solicitor. There is also a Court of Appeals consisting of three Justices. Geor gia is represented in the National Congress by two Sena tors and eleven Representatives. Thus the State has thir teen votes in the electoral college.

POLITICAL DIVISIONS AND POPULATION.

Georgia has 146 counties, enjoying such privileges of self-government, that one of the United States Government publications speaks of them as so naany little common wealths. As has been said already, the population of Geor gia has shown a steady increase from the first census in 1790 to the present time.
We give here the population of Georgia at each Federal census:

AN INVENTORY OF THE WATER POWERS OF GEORGIA.
By S. W. McCallie, State Geologist and Member of the Georgia Conservation Commission.
In making an inventory of the natural resources of Georgia, one of the most important questions for consider ation is the water powers. This subject is of special in terest just now, as the National Conservation Commission makes the startling" statement that at the present increas ing rate of the consumption of coal, which is now the main source of mechanical power, our coal supply will be so de pleted as to approach exhaustion before the middle of the next century. It is estimated that the-steam powers of the country use approximately 260,000,000 tons of coal annu ally, or considerably more than one-half of the production of 1907. It is further estimated that this coal produces about 26,000,000 steam horsepower for all manufacturing purposes, motor-power, electric lights, etc., which power we are told is less than one-half of our water powers now going to waste. Tu other words, we are told, if only onehalf of our water powers were utilized it would save annu ally 260,000,000 tons of coal and thereby lengthen our ap proaching coal famine more than a century and a half. What is here said of the wasted water powers of our coun try at large may likewise be said of many of the individual States, such as Georgia, which has extensive undeveloped water powers.
In the last fourteen years, the Geological Survey of Georgia, in co-operation with the XT. S. Geological Survey, has been continuously engaged in collecting data in regard to our streams. While this data is by no means yet com-

48

plete, sufficient information is now at hand to enable us to calculate with considerable degree of certainty the approx imate water power of the State. ITor convenience of de scription, the water powers will here be described under the following hydrographic basins: The Savannah basin, the Ogeeehee basin, the Altamaha basin, the Apalachicola basin, the Mobile basin, and the Tennessee basin.

THE SAVAHNAH DBAINAGE BASIN.

The Savannah drainage basin above Augusta, Georgia,

where practically all of the water power is found, com

prises an area of 7,300 square miles. The main water pow

ers of this basin, occurring in Georgia, are found on the

following streams: The Savannah River (formed by the

Tugaloo and the Seneca Rivers 100 miles above Augusta)

the Tugaloo River, the Chattooga River, the Tallulah

River, the Broad River, the South Broad River, the Hud

THE ALTAMAHA DBAINAGE BASIN.
The Altamaha drainage basin is one of the largest drainage systems of the State. The main streams forming the system, namely, the Oconee and the Ocmulgee Rivers, rise in the northern central part of the State and after flowing many miles to the southeast finally unite in Mont gomery county to form the Altaroaha, which, in turn, con tinues to the southeast, entering the Atlantic Ocean at Darien. In addition to the two rivers above named the more important streams of this basin are the Middle Oconee Eiver, North Oconee River, Mulberry Fork, Apalachee River, South River, Alcovy River, Yellow River, and the Ohoopee River. Practically all of the water power of the streams here mentioned, with the exception of the Ohoopee River, is confined to the Piedmont Plateau north

It rises in the high Blue Bidge mountains in the extreme northern part of the State and after flowing to the southwest and south for more than 400 miles finally unites with the Flint Eiver at the Georgia-Florida line to form the Apalachicola Eiver. The drainage area of the Chattahoochee Eiver above Columbus, where the main water power occurs, is 4,900 square miles. Other important streams of the Apalaehicola basin are the Flint Eiver, Ichawaynochaway Creek, Muckalee Eiver, Big Potato Creek,

AGGREGATE HORSEPOWER OF THE RIVERS OF GEORGIA. In nearly all of tlie above estimates only 90 per cent, of the actual fall of the streams has been given and the indi cated horsepower has been reduced in most cases to 80 per cent., so that the results are thought to be quite conservative and well within the practical working limits. In these estiraates, we have made no allowance whatever for storage, which, in many cases, would increase the minimum power from two to three times, nor have we taken into considera tion a great number of small streams which would probably aggregate a power approximately equal to the water power now being utilized by the State. Omitting for the present these two factors, which would, no doubt, increase the water power more than two-fold, we still have, at the annual lowest known stream stage, an ap proximate aggregate of 500,000 horsepower. This power, if produced by steam, would require an annual consumption of about 7,000,000 tons of coal, or more than one-half of the coal production of Alabama in 3907. The mney value of this power, reckoning a horsepower at $20.00 per annum, is $10,000,000, which is nearly equal to twice the States annual income from taxes and all other sources. By the use of storage dams, or by the use of auxiliary steam power for short periods during the dr yseason, fully 1,000,000 horsepower, at a low estimate, could be utilized. The enormity of this power may be better understood when it is stated that the combined labors of Alabamas coal min ers in 1907, consisting of an army of more than 20,000 strong, could not supply the furnaces with coal which would be necessary to produce a steam power equal to Georgias water power.

We ask the reader to consult the following tables, made up from the United States yearly crop reports, as found i" the "Year Book," the bulletin on "Cotton Production," the bulletin on "The Supply and Distribution of Cotton" and estimates of the Georgia Department of Agriculture, as to acreage of cotton by counties, also the acreage and production of corn, oats, rye and wheat by counties. If he will do so, he will see "what Georgia, has done in the past and "what under continued favorable conditions our State may by the blessing of God accomplish in the future. Then he "will agree "with us that there is no more highly favored hind in our grand union of States than our own noble Geor gia, the Empire State of the South.

crop, especially in North Georgia, but there was, notwithstanding, a fairly

srood crop.

1908--A very large crop with fine fruit--6,000 car loads.

19"09--A crop about half as large as that of 1908, but on account of the

eff<'orts of the Georgia Fruit Growers' Association the profits were as large as

tinose of the crop of 1908.
