We challenge the PRODUCT, /.
man in southern Georgia who y
bunch of sheep or flock WIN !,
not made money out of them :.
who has not made it easier NJ,
could in any other occuDg.
whatever.
We announce what NAV .,
startling propositions, bat We !
prepared to prove them:
Ist That southern Georg, :
readily support at once a nrr
sheep, and in ten years two MINI,
That for every 1000 sheep DASH.
per year, the capacity OF The i,
to support sheep can be incrug
SO that 365 more can be ra,sa
the thousand the next.
and. That one million sheen '
double the crop-bearing capsa
of 1900 acres of land per re
and that in twenty years a mill
sheep would make of South Cd
gia the richest agricultural port
of the State.
grid, That two million shs
would increase the productiwo
of our land by combining dt
husbandry with farming, s4,oml
per year.
4th. That the capital invss
in one million sheep would be
$4,000, and that it would br
yearly a net profit of not less t
$I,54S,ooo, or 90 per cent, ant
southern Georgia probably at /
* per cent. in excess of this
that this is true of sheep farm
as at present conducted with
effort, without protection Of
sheep from their enemies, win
com bining sheep husbandT
agriculture, which would DO!
the profit here estimated.
This estimate is based on B
facts and figures obtained BY
tient enquiry from all portions Of
States-obtained not upon v
can be done, but what mas
done; not based on figures :
other States, but based solely ]
figures obtained in Georgia I
men actually engaged in sheep
bandry. They show that we
in the infancy of a business
important than our naval 8
and mill business combined a
mess which will enrich our SOIL
to our agricultural production
an ever increasing ratlo--orln:
US wealth, prosperity and pow
And this IS but one OF the q
advantages South Georgia 0n L.
her own people and to lndu"I
emigrants and capitalists
abroad.
