GEORGIA PASTURES ARE UNEQUALED ANYWHERE ATLANTA, Ga., March 3.—That pastures which can not be equalled in other parts of the Unitpd States can be estoblished easily and cheaply in Georgia and Alabama has been demonstrated by the Cen tral of Georgia railway. Records for 40 such pastures are contained in a pamphlet just issued by the ag ricultural department of the Cen tral of Georgia which may be ob tained by application to J. F. Jack son, general agricultural agent, at Savannah. , Records have been carefully kept for two years and show each acre afforded grazing for an average of 1 1-3 mature cows, or the equvail ent thereof, for a period of 275 days. This amount is double the grazing classed as excellent in older established cattle-raising territories and gives definite proof this section can produce, beef, milk and pork at a profit.
