M Elberta and from all accounts very
W soon we are to have Princess Bessie
Then Georgia's royal house will be complete
and our State will rival Utopia. The King
and Queen, in their abundance, will PROVIDE
ample funds for happiness, and Princess Bos-
sic will supply the milk, cream and butter
for babies and grown-ups, with surplus that
will add to the material prosperity or our
people.
It is highly encouraging to note the growth
Of the dairying industry in Georgia. verify
with our increased production OF bees 1t
will not be long before Georgia is literally
the land of milk and honey" Apiaries are
springing up all over the State and are being
conducted with profit.
The steady growth of the dairy cattle pop
ulation is gratifying. The industry is on
sound and profitable business b~sis Re-
ports from every section indicate that the
people at last are awakening to the natural
advantages of Georgia for the production Of
dairy cattle.
Up in the mountains of North Georgia, at
Young Harris, in Towns county, cheese fac
tory has been established with every assur-
ance of success. OF course, this means that
Towns county is going into the darying bust
ness On an extensive scale, for cheese cannot
be made without milk. The country about
affords excellent grazing for cows. The noun
tain folk appreciate their resources and they
are making much of them. There Is no rea
son why Young Harris, with It's commendable
spirit of progress, should monopoliZe the
manufacture of cheese. The success of their
industry doubtless will encourage other Sec
lions to engage in the business.
From Brunswick, at the other end of the
State, comes the news that properties on his
toric St. Simon's Island have been acquired
oy an experienced business establishment for
the manufacture of commercial chocolate. Of
course this means that st. Sinrons is to be
converted into great grazing pasture for
the production of dairy cattle, for commercial
chocolate requires an abundance Of milk.
The chocolate establishment, according to
reports plans one Of the greatest diaries in
the country on St. Simon's-a dairy capable
not only of supplying ali the milk required
for the manufacture of chocolate products
but an abundance of cream and butter for
contiguous territory.
'The location Is IDEAL" remarks the savan-
nah Morning News. "Tick free, there hardly
could be found better site for great dairy
and with COWS in great numbers, easily
kept, more cheaply fed and pastured than in
many sections, there should be milk for all
the region round and tanks. of it for manu-
facture of the little slabs of chocolate of
which there are millions consumed every
day"
And the News continues that Georgia
wants more COWS and more cows They
mean more milk and more butter for the ba-
bies and the rest of the people.
"It begins to look" says the News, "as If
business men are going to bring to pass that
Bessie soon will be claiming place with King
Cotton and Queen Elberta and Georgia will
be flowing with milk"
We feel sure that the people will welcome
the advent of Bessie and will accord to her
the place and rank of princess along with
King Cotton and Queen Elberta in the Royal
House
