SOUTH NOW HELPS
TO FEED WORLD
AND CLOTHE IT
Dixie No Longer Stops With Cotton
Read These Figures on
Peanuts and Livestock

ATLANTA, Ga.,-Many have an
idea that the South, particularly out
siders, grows very little of anything
except cotton-a crop worth several
billions of dollars.
That's wrong.
Dixie doesn't stop with cotton.
That's only where she starts. Take
peanuts for instance:
The peanut crop of the South will
this year. bring the farmers, approx
mately $1OO, 100000. When one
thinks of the peanut, don't think of
it only in the roasted form in paper
bags. By far the largest percentage
of the peanut crop is crushed in oil,
Peanut oil is rivaling olive oil, and in
fact, many folks prefer it to olive
oil.
This peanut oil brings a good
price in wholesale quantities; and
from a ton of peanuts there is secur-
ed an average of IS gallons of oil,
and about 1900 pounds of peanut
meal, which is one of the most valu-
able feeds for livestock that can be
imagined. This meal sells for $50
to $40 ton.
Now look at these livestock figures
35 percent of all the hogs in the
country are here in the South-possi-
bly, 3O,000,000.
There are 100000 head of cat
tie grazing in southern fields-3O
per cent of the country's total.
"The South, before she went into
diversified agriculture, depended on
the rest of the world for food, says
statement of the A. B. & C. railroad
agricultural department. "Now she's
helping to feed it in big way
Things have changed-the South has
moved, grown, expanded, until now
she is possibly the richest market IL
the world"

materially in covering up the raw

and transform our quilted hillsldes
into elements of inspiring beauty. 1t
will furnish remunerative employ
ment to hundreds of our farmers who
find themselves, somehow or other,
at the end Of the row.
1t means the material stimulation
of our dairy industry to the point
where it will ultimately make Georgia
economically independent in this re-
spect of other sections of the country.
This of itself will add at least $685.
100000 annually to the resources of
our people. Keeping this amount OF
money at home as working capital
and for purposes of improvement will
render a very substantial and con-
tinued economic service to the peo-
pie of Georgia as whole. Moreover,
we believe that the initiative which
Atlanta has evidenced with reference
to this matter will spread to other
cities Of the state and thus enable US
to reach and serve the welfare inter-
ests of thousands of other Georgia
boys and girls living in both urban
and rural communities.
l know of no enterprise which
could have been inaugurated in this
day and time fraught with greater
economic Importance therefore to the
health and welfare interests of our
youth or the economic advantage of
our dairyman and landowners. 1t
seems particularly fotunate that the
consumption of this project should
have been undertaken, therefore, at
his particular time.

The signal installation between Ma

three high voltage wires, carrying an
current of 4,400 volts, and
an average of four low voltage wires
for signal operation and 456 signals
