Veterinarians Needed
For Georgia Livestock
Industry Worth $100,000,000 Requires
Protection
ANDREW M. SOULE, President Geor
gia State College Of Agriculture
The aggregate of our live stock in
terests is not generally appreciated for
the animals now owned on Georgia
farms are easily w.orth $100,000,000.
In 1910 the state was credited in the
federal census with owning about $73,-
000,000 worth .of live stock. Within a
period of six years, therefore, there
has been an increase in the value of
live stock of approximately $22,000,000,
and this in the face of the fact that
the shipment of a very considerable
number of mules to Europe on ac
count of the war conditions prevailing
there has tended to reduce not only
the number but the value of our ani
mals as well. At the present time
there are only about fifty licensed vet
erinarians practicing in the state of
Georgia. Most of these live in towns
and cities, and there are many farmers
fin the state who are more than one
hundred miles from a competent vet-
erinarian; and even if they could se
cure his services in time, it would be
at an almost prohibitive cost. It may
thus be said with propriety that farm
ers living out in the open country
would find it extremely difficult to se
cure the aid of a competent veterina
rian, and that this condition is not
likely to be remedied until provision is
made for the training of a very consid
erable number of men in the underly
ing principles of veterinary medicine.
That some provision for instruction
of this character should be made is
evidenced by the very considerable
number of applications received from
young men who desire to study veter
inary medicine. In view of this fact,
the trustees of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture have endeavored
to meet the situation by authorizing
the establishment of the first two
years of a degree course in veterinary
medicine. This will be open to any
young man in Georgia seventeen years
of age and who is able to present four
teen units for entrance. It is the earn
est hope of the trustees that at the
end of two years through the aid of
the state they may be able to add
the junior work of training veterina
rians ■ within the state who are ac
quainted with local conditions, in sym
pathy with the people living in the
open country, and who naturally be
lieve in Georgia and its future possi
bilities along live stock production.

PERUNA
No other remedy ever offered the
American people has more friends
after two generations of success; no
other remedy is moregenerally used
in the homes of the people; no other
has been so enthusiastically endors
ed by the thousands.
The reason is found in real merit. For
coughs, colds, catarrh, whether local or
systemic, and general debility following any
of the above Peruna will be found effective,
reliable and safe. For irregular appetite,
impaired digestion and run-down system it
is an invaluable tonic.
Peruna may be obtained in
tablet form for convenience. |
