before the South today is to en-
large its industrial life, diversity
its industrial life, diversity its in
dustrial plants and utilize more FIJI
" the many kinds Of raw material
that are at hand in the South, in
the opinion of industrial leaders
here. By doing this, it was point
ed out, the agricultural prosperity
of the South will be assured. The
statement is made that unless the
South increases the size of its
cities through industrial expansion,
the home market for Southern
farm products will not be avail
able.
where industry is active, the
demand for farm crops is great
est, said an Atlanta manufacturer.
THE farmer will share to a great
er extent than anyone else in the
building up of the South into
great industrial section. Herein
lies the South's greatest opportu-
nifty"
Georgia agriculturists, including
experts of the Georgia Department
of agriculture, emphasize the fact
that the agricultural problem of the
South, as noted by leading farm
and industrial journal is primarily
q matter of larger market for di-
versified products.
