SOUTH GEORGIA WINS
PRAISE OF TUCKER

ATLANTA, Oct. 9. - "South
Georgia's opportunity is in attract
ing new Settlers" w. R. Tucker, ag-
riculturaI and indugstris' agent of
the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
Iantic railway, said today.
1T is in bringing in new people,
additional people, l mean" Mr..
Tucker said. Swapping invest
ments and ownership of lands means
little. What is needed is to repop-
ulate abandoned farms and take in
new lands. This will be the foun
datiOn stone upon which develop
ment depends.
South Georgia farms are max
ing a bale of cotton to the acre.
The tobacco crop was good. The
watermelon crop was the best that
South Georgia ever raised, and it
brought an enormous amount of
money to that section, as did the
tobacco crop and as will the cotton
crop. South Georgia is producing
the greatest harvest she has known
since 1914"
