The following from the Americas
| Times-Recorder is of interest, and is
commended to the people OF Glynn
county as being an easy and clean
way in which to invest small
amount of money, an ordinary amount
of care and declare big dividends:
Millions of acres of land all over
the south, close to good railroad sta
tons and easy of access to large cit
les can be had at S. to 500 per acre
This land will grow just as many
fowls, more months in the year than
land that costs several times this
much in the east and west. All OF
good cultivation and high fertiliza-
zion and it is no trouble at all to
produce fifty to one hundred bushels
Of corn per acre or fifty to one hun
dred bushels of fall Irish potatoes
that have a ready market at 80 cents
per bushel for eating purposes or So
per bushel for seed.
"The wonderful little dairy COW,
the Jersey, thrives over the entire
south equally as well as on the is
land CT Jersey. We can keep her at
a low cost and she will yield from
one to two pounds of butter per day
which will readily sell for 35 cents
pen pound.
Our great city of Atlanta has over
eight hundred dairies and it is i'm
possible TO supply the demand for
milk at 40 cents per gallon and
cream at $1.20 per gallon, retail. che
poultry and dairy business work hand
in band A milk customer Is almost
always glad to get supply of fresh
eggs at 35 to 40 cents per dozen

Anyone, says a writer in the
Southern Fancier in discussing
these features of southern life, can
start in a small way with a small
amount of capital in the south, and If
they will use business Judgment and
energy and work anyways near as
bard as they do in the average city
store, they will soon become indie
pendent and have business of their
own for a very small amount invest
ed. And the writer continues.
After travelling over a good por-
ton OF the United States, | know of
no place that has a brighter future
| for a young man to win fame and for
| tune than in any of the southern
states. With poultry, an old man, a
| frail woman or even child, can pro-
vide good living without hard physi-
| cal labor or half the number of hours
of work as do millions of the women
and children who are absolute slaves
| to labor in the great cities OF tie
east and west.
| LAS O rule, most of our southern
people have made money too easy
and have been satisfied with an ordl-
nary living and they cared very lit
tie for laying up fortunes or provid
ing for rainy day" We see Sc
many thrifty people from the east
and west coming into different sec
tons of the south who soon become
rich. This is creating new life in cur
old south and the day is coming, not
so far distant, when Georgia and
many of her sister states viii De

corn, wheat, oats, cotton and every
otter noted crop is produced 50
abundantly in the south that she "l!l
never go hungry.
THE poultry business is cer'a;aly
on the boom in the southern $, lte ;.

winter resorts in the south during
