The War Department has given
out fig .ret showing that the war’s

of thoc-e agricultural enterprise* ar.d
industries that are as peculiar to
South Georgia as are the mineral
products of the former. And while
the money spent for the developemenl
of the mineral resources of the stale
has been a wise and profitable invest
ment, the same amount expended in
the developemenl of the sugir cane,
cassava and other agricultural Indus
trie* that are peculiar to only this
part of the stale, the returns on tin-
investment would doubtless have
been greater and the income to the
state more permanent and prompt
