tountly's Beef supply.
George NJ. Rommel, chief of the
animal husbandry division OF the
federal department OF agriculture
| has written an emphatic indorse-
lment Of the statement OF the former
secretary of that department, james
! Wilson, to the effect that it is
! te the south the nation must event
tual!y look for the greater part OF lis
!supply OF beef. Mr., Rommel deelar-
| ed that mo northern farmer or any
other farmer" could produce beet
as cheaply as it could be produced
| in the south, and stressed the fact
that the industry outside of the
south must henceforth be more
or less of a speculative one.
The south has been apprised of
this destined supremacy so often
| that the narration itself has be-
come an old story. The thing now
| TO do is to transmute prophecy in
to actually. For there is no doubt,
as the constitution has often point
ed out. that America is facing a
new regime, in which the great cat
tie prncipalities of the western
states are broken up and the ma
ton must depend upon smaller
divisions of land for its cattle SUP
plies. 1t is here that the south,
and Georgia principally will score
because of its large command Of
tracts that answer mathematically 10
this description. In almost ideally
suited to cattle grazing and to the
production of hogs. The climate is,
|of course, unsurpassed, being open
almost ten months of the year
In addition, the cattle tick and
hog cholera, foes to beef and pork,
are being subjugated with graft
flying rapidity.
1t remains to be seen, in the
face of prospect SO promising, just
how quickly the farmers and bust
ness men will awake to the situa-
ton In fairness 1t should be said
that, In Georgia as in other states,
the problem is one largely in which
the farmers are helpless unless lie
country and city bankers come
to their assistance. All the years
since the civil war we have de-
pended ON cotton mainly for oar
