Coins, of Milwaukee, claims. He
says;
Milwaukee is the center of the
greatest form of prosperity in the
country today - dairying The
dairy cow has done wonders for
this city. Wisconsin is the worlds
greatest dairy State. There are
approximately 5000 cheese fac
tories, about 1900 creameries
and little less than a thousand
milk plants. Milwaukee's dairy
production is valued at quarter
of a billion dollars-greater than
all the iron ore, gold and silver
mined in the whole United
States last year. These manu-
factories have poured untold mil
lions into the pockets of Wiscon-
sin people, principally into the
pockets of the Milwaukee people,
at the States metropolis and only
large city. Dairying has done
hundred times more for Milwau-
kee than beer could have done.

have their eyes on Georgia; they
know something of our climatic
and soil conditions and want to
come to the Cracker State, for,
says Mr.. Craddock:
The people who do Milwaukee
the most good are the people
who do not live in the city, but
carry on their dairying and di-
versified farming nearby. They
bring their money to Milwaukee.
They are the people who want to
go to Georgia. When they hear
that dairy conditions are SO much
more advantageous in the Crack

has been so tremendously sue
cessful, they Immediately begin
getting interested.
