Water Supply Is One of Georgia's Valuable Assets ATLANTA — One of Georgia’s most valuable assets is its water supply. There are 17 large rivers wind ing 2,818 miles across the state and there are 15 major reservoirs covering 257,933 acres. “One of the important things considered by anyone seeking an industrial site is the water sup ply, Jack Minter, Director of the Georgia Department of Commer ce, said today. “Georgia has one of the finest, most adequate wat er supplies in the country and this is one reason more and more industry is locating in our state. "For example,” he continued, “Georgia cities are using about 125 gallons per person per day, A pulp mill will use 20,000,000 gal lons a day and a stream power plant 430,000,000 gallons a day. These tremendous amounts of water are consumed in Georgia and the supply remains ample. This is one of the reasons our state is a pace-setter in procuring new industry.” A total of 5,500,000,000 gallons a day flow through the turbines at Buford Dam, which supplies water for Metropolitan Atlanta’s more than 1,000,000 population. And, authorities say, the dam can supply the water needs for about twice that number. Georgia’s water resources are subjects of constant scientific in vestigation. Streams and lakes, underground waters and springs and the chemical quality of those waters are studied to de termine the nature of their oc curance and to gather factual data on quality, rates of flow, use and control.

Poultry Industry Packs Big Economic Punch in Georgia As the source of supply of poultry has turned from the back yard flock to a big indus try, Georgia has benefited more than any other state from this change. Information compiled on the poultry industry for last year shows that Georgia, for the eleventh consecutive year, has led the nation in the number of broilers produced. Broilers and egg production are the two main poultry enterprises in the state, and in the last two or three years eggs have become more important as the state has begun to export sizeable quanti ties of commercial eggs. Milton Y. Dendy, Extension poultryman for the University of Georgia College of Agricul ture, pointed out the following facts that show the economic importance of the poultry in dustry not only to producers but to other businesses as well: In 1961 there were more than 9,000 farms and over 12,- 000 persons engaged in commer cial broiler production in Geor gia. They grew and marketed more than 348,000,000 broilers. The investment in housing and equipment to produce this volume is estimated at more than $58,000,000. The gross re turn from broilers was more than $156,000,000. Some 2,000 farms and 4,000 persons are engaged in commer cial egg production in the state. Georgia hens produced 2,400,000,- 000 eggs in 1961. Egg producers have about $80,000,000 invested in housing and equipment. Many allied industries and businesses are also affected by the demand for feed, equipment, fuel, transportation and other needs of these poultry producers. Another large industry takes care of processing and marketing poul try products. Feed alone is a big item. Geor gia poultry consumed over 3,500,- 000,000 pounds (1.8 million tons) of feed in 1961.

The two principle ingredients of this feed, by volume, were com and soybean meal. The com used in the 1.8 mil lion tons of feed would be about 40,000,000 bushels, or about 56,- 000 20-ton trailer truck loads. At the average com yield in Georgia, it would take 1,140,000 acres to grow this com. It would take over 18,000 of the trailer truck loads, or 13,000,000 bushels of soybeans, to supply this ingredient. At the present average yield, this represents the soybeans grown on 765,000 acres.
