They buy the old lands cheap and run wire fences nronnd "There investors say that they con ralw cattle at a very nominal cost and that Cobs offers a good market for every hoof offered for salo. The grassing is tine and water in abundance. Sonth Georgia in my opinion, offrrs tlso best inducements of any place that I know for this industry.
