several statements about which two
opinions;might be expressed. We all
agree thoroughly about the wonder
ed advantages in Georgia, and our
neighboring states, but I do not
'think it is altogether accurate “that
the railroads operating in the south
do nothing to attract settler from
the other states.’
I do not undertake to speak for
. any one except the Atlanta Birming
ham and Atlantic railway, but I
happen to know that for several
years a number of the railroad sys
tems in the south have done an in?-
mense amount of work to bring in
new settlers from other parts of the
country. They have issued very at
tractive booklets and other “litera-
' tare,” although that is -bfat a bare
beginning toward inducing settlers.
I think an investigation would show
that they have undoubtedly follow
ed this up with a great deal of other
work, and in many cases - effective
work, both by advertising and
through personal efforts of their
agricultural and industrial agents,
and that work is going on actively
today.
As one of the smaller systems,
- our line, the A., B. and A., has been
quite energetic in cooperating with
the state college the state depart
ment of agriculture, and numorous
organizaions and private citizens a-
long our line in Georgia and Alaba
ma, to improve agricultural condi
tions in the territory it serves. Our
experience over a number of years
has shown that this is the most
practical way for us to attract set
tlers from other sections.
There are many obstacles in the
way of inducing fanners to leave
the north and west and come south'.
Only those who have actually tackl
ed the job know how many. These
farmers do not know how to grow
cotton, and it is difficult for them to
understand why our own people fail
in such a large measure.to take ad-,
, vantage of the wonderful opportuni
ties-for other kinds' of farming
which -we tail them about. Our Ga.
farmers use more commercial fer
tiliser. I think, than any other state ,
in the union, and the northern and
western farmers do not, as a rule,
understand the use of it. They ques

I believe stands more in the way of ,
. getting new s leer than ny othei (
one thing, 'i hero, northerners or
wes'erne’s always want farms which ,
arc at least in part, cleared of j
stumps so they may use labor sav— 'j

for'able residence, a well and bams (
which will take care of cows, hogs j
and poultry. Usually, they want our e
land owner to show his faith in the ■
proposition by leasing them a farm f
for. say one year, with an option to s
buy on long term payments.- d
Now this is the practical end of
it. We rpeak from much experience c

have had some success. I think it is t
quite true to say that there is teal- r
