Crops in Georgia, Tennessee and

There is a larger acreage Of cotton

There isn't much change in the
character of the country as one trav-'

Then the country becomes more brok-
en-. with less land in cultivation,
though the river and creek bottoms
are very fertile. Leaving Knoxville,
one is soon among the Kentucky
mountains. Here agriculture is little
in evidence There are some patches
of corn on the mountain sides, but the
wealth of the country is not on the
surface, but beneath it. These hills
are rich in minerals-coal, iron, zinc,
etc.-and some day will yield up their
treasures to the hand Of development.
At present the blue hills sleep undis-
turbed giving no sign of the wealth
they hide.
