Facts About Georgia

Atlanta, April 14.-Intense in
terest has been aroused bv an
article and an editorial in the
April 18th issue of The Country
Gentleman, one of the most wide
lv read agricultural journals in the
world, On Il work of the Georgia
Chan Der OF Commerce tor the
ayr. cultural upbuilding of the
State. The article is based on
Census figures showing that the
produces of Georgia farms, mills,
nlnt> and forests created an annual
total wealth of nearly $500, 900, 600
but the tax digest showed ALI in
crease IN taxable wealth of less
than $40, 100000.
The article states that there are
fewer cattle in Georgia than in
1860; $4,000 fewer sheep and
465, 900 fewer hogs; that, while
the corn yield has steadily increas
ed. Georgia imports annually 3d.
100000 bushels, and relatively as
much wheat and oats, meal and
flour, hay and forage, beef and
saIt-pork sides; and that, with the
value of the cotton crop deducted.
there is S37, 100000 On the wrong
side of the ledger.
The State Department of Agri-
culture, the State College of Agri-
culture, the District Agricultural
school, the Boys Corn Clubs.
Boys's Pig Clubs, Girls Canning
Clubs, the rapidly increasing mum
Der of Federal Farm Demonstra
ton Agents employed by the coun-
ties, and the Georgia Chamber OF
Commerce, ere credited with hay
ing produced word, rful awaken
ing to the possibilities of Georgia
and a determined, enthusiastic
effort to make the State agricuI-
turally independent.
The value of the article to Geor-
gia, beyond its advertising effect
III other sections of the country, is
its forcefulness in awakening on,
own people to the fact that their
annual loss and gain account shows
a gradually shrinking present
worth, and in showing them the
road out through the enlightened
selhshness that should induce them
to give prompt financial support to
the work of the Georgia Chamber
of Commerce.
Most significant in this connec-
ton IS the joint advertisement of
the bankers of Crisp County, pub
lished in their local paper few
DAYS ago, notifying the farmers of
Crisp County that to enable them
to raise cattle and hogs, the banks
would loan $4,000 in amounts not
over $500 to ore farmer, for a
term of two years at legal rates of
interest, for the purchase of live
stock. This is direct result of the
efforts of the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce to secure better sys-
tenn of rural credits, and should
be followed by the bankers of
every county in the State.
