Angora Goat Industry.

The introduction of Angora goats
into the United States is connected
with a curious historical incident.
President Polk vas requested by the
sultan to send a man to Turkey who
understood the culture of cotton.
DIR. James b. Davis of Columbia, ;.
c., was selected for the purpose, and
upon his return, in 1S49, to America,
as a courtesy, the sultan presented
him with nine choice goats. Five
years later General Richard Peters,
of Atlanta, Ga, secured most Of
these goats and in 1885 made an ex-
hibit of the progeny at the New Or
leans worlds fair. Importations fol-
lowed at scattered intervals, about
100 head being imported from South
Africa as late as 1904.
