In regard to the canning plants

State has written the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce as follows:
in almost every case where a
canning plant has been unsuc-
cessful it has been for lack of
something to can. We have no
trouble in selling the goods. We
could sell the product of many
thousand acres. A new canning
factory should contract with a
large number of farmers, and
contract for more than the actual
needs, to allow for shortage of
production, and be prepared to
can sweet potatoes. okra, toma-
toes, beans, peaches, huckleber-
ries and blackberries, also white
field corn for making I've hominy.
With enoug of these available a
canning plant should succeed
well in Georgia and run the whole
year round.

STATE CHAMBER
ADVERTISING FOR
FACTORIES

Atlanta, Georgia, March IT,
Georgia cities and towns are alive
as never before in building them
selves up and many of them are
putting forth strenuous efforts
to induce new manufacturers to
locate among them.
The Georgia Chamber of Com
merce has sent out a letter to
practically every city and town
in the State asking specific CUES
tons as to just what kind Of new
enterprises would best pay in
those communities and what CO.
operation and financial support
would be offered as an induce
ment to secure new enterprises.
The answers have been prompt
and enthusiastic and it is believed
that this movement will result
in bringing a number of factory
builders from other sections of
the country to Georgia. After
compiling the answers received,
the Georgia Chamber of Com
merce has inserted notices in 1875
Trade papers in the various lines
throughout the United States,
of just what factories are needed
in this State and offering to give
full and free information to any
one who would write to the or
ganization.
1t is interesting to note the
variety of industries that are
wanted by various localities.
When it is known that there are
already five thousand manufact-
uring establishments in Georgia
and that last year the value of
the products of these factories
was 1902, S63, 10000, it is appar-
ent that Georgia's progress in
manufacturing from now on will
be even greater than that of her
agricultural production.
The following number of cities
want the industries mentioned:
10 Canning factories; 8 Furniture
factories; % Woodworking estab-
lishments; 10 Knitting mills; 10
Creameries; 5 Ice manufactures;
IL Brick, Tile manufactures; |
Skirt manufactures; 2 Flows; 8

GROW MORE CATTLE.
Prominent Cattle Grower Urges
Southern Farmers to Raise Cattle
Conserve Soil Fertility, by Grow
ing Grass and Feeding Cattle.
BY A. L. FRENCH, Prominent Cattle
Grower, Cascade, Va.

BY A. L. FRENCH, Prominent Cattle
Grower, Cascade, Va.
AS our country grows older other
problems besides securing the pres
ent dollar thrust themselves upon the
man who handles the soil, and to the
thinking men of the south, soil con-
servation stands in class by itself
as our most pressing problem and
practical means looking to this end
demands from year to year an ever
increasing proportion of our thought
The crop that is Indigenous to a
country is not always the crop that
continues to be held in the highest es-
TEEN by the leading thinking men of
that section. For instance, in the
finest blue grass section of Indiana
know a leading live stock raiser and
feeder who is discarding blue grass
very largely for timothy, herds grass
and sapling clover as pasture crops,
because of the greater amount of
feed the new pasture crops are pro-
ducing. So while the grass has not
been much in evidence upon the farms
over much of the south up to this
time the change of sentiment that is
everywhere present among our peo-
pie regarding the care of the soil leads
us to believe that the matter will be
tried out in a large way during the
next ten years.
Grow More Grass.
And where the trial is intelligently
made grass will surely follow, for
abundant rainfall, much sunshine,
fair quality of soil and lime makes
grass growing. We have the rainfall
and sunshine ever with us, the skele-
ton of a good soil is ours yet and
million or two tons of lime are within
our borders awaiting our awakening.
