coming into this to devote themselves
to the filling of the soil. The result

and to a large degree. 1t is true
everywhere that the, quality of
products of the soil and mines and
forests make and mark the wealth

cultivated, can produce large sur

which yield the largest profits. 1t is
especially true that livestock can be
produced here at less cost than any

Here in Brunswick and Glynn coun-
y this movement looking toward a
more general turn to farming has been
remarkable. Not only have We had

They are now turning seriously to the

devoted industry and intelligent di-
rection.
