film that Georgia Is the lar

River. He then remarked that
no doubt there were a lot of
other interesting facts about
Georgia that this Georgian did
not know.

And that indictment is prob
ably true of most of us. We
have such a wonderful state
sr.d it is so varied in its re
sources that one could study
Georgia for months and months
and still not know all there is
to know about our state.

For instance how many of us
know that the typhography of
Georgia ranges from sea level
to mountains 5,000 feet high.
This gives Georgia a wide range
of climatic,conditions and per
mits Georgia to raise practical
ly every crop that is known to
the world—save of courses, those
crops that are restricted to trop
ical countries.

How many of us know that
Georgia’s factory products for
1928 (the figures for 1929 have
not yet been released) were
worth 6753.257.54L Of this to

Georgia possesses vast mine
ral resources. It is rich in prac
tically every mineral that has
commercial values. More mar
ble is quarried in Georgia every
year than in an? other state in
the union—save Vermont. Last
year Georgia marble quarried
was sold for $2,929,480.
Due to its richness in deposits
of claj<s, Georgia is destined tc
become one of the most impor
tant producing centers of cer
amic products in the United
States. Kaolins, used in the
manufacture of ^hiteware, elec
trical porcelain and other pot
tery products, is plentiful.

While cotton Is still the chief
product of Georgia the land of
the state Is adapted to growing
other things and last year Geor

of oats and hay; *3,960,000 worth
sugar cane syrup: *3,312,000
worth of peaches; and so on.
Figures for 1928 show that
Georgia produced *15.000,000

and vegetables; *40,000,000
worth of eggs; and *20,000,000

There are a thousand and one
different angles from which we
