DEPARTMENT HAS BUSY TIME
Thousands of Copies of the New Book*
“Georgia: industrial and Historical,”
Have Been Distributed—-Some Perti
nent Questions Answered.
Department of Agriculture, Atlanta,
April 1, 1902.
Several months have passed since a
monthly talk has gone out from this
department, but so heavy has been the
correspondence* not only from our own
moting Georgia’s welfare. I am show
ing it with pleasure to my friends. .
“After studying all the land and im
migration schemes of the different
states from California to New Jersey
and British America to the Gulf, I be
lieve Georgia is the best, all things
considered, and my land is not for
Ai&nm
and if that doesn’t break the guano
business it will make it look mighty
pale. Then, intensify, diversify and in
tensify, and your bank account will
multiply. You ‘ will see, I have wan
dered from the subject. But I love
farming so Well and am in such a
good place and have such a nice farm
that I can’t refrain from giving it a
word.
“Thanking you for the hook and
wishing you success, I remain, your
humble servant,
"A. J. BEVER.

“P- S.—I know not what will be my
future fate; but I think I’ll live and
die in the Empire State.—A. J. B.”
We feel sure that our readers will
pardon us for publishing this letter in
full, on account of its many excellent
hints to farmers.
A letter from Mr. E. S. Towne, 81
Ashland boulevard, Chicago, HL, re
ceived March 6, says: “I h^,ve.examin
ed the new book, 'Georgia: Historical
and Industrial/ which: you kindly sent,
me, and find it a handsome volume of
fine paper* and print, voluminous, but
without a dull page, embellished with
a profusion of pictures and many fine
colored plates.

Scott’s Emulsion is not a
good medicine for fat folks.
We have never tried giving it
to a real fat person. We don’t
dare. You see Scott’s Emul
sion builds new flesh. Fat
people don’t want it Strong
people don’t need it
But if you are thin Scott’s
Emulsion is the -medicine for
you. It doesn’t tire you out
There is no strain. The work
is all natural and easy. You
just take the medicine and
that’s all there is to it
The next thing you know
you feel better—you eat better
—and you weigh more. It is
a quiet worker.

state, but also from every section of
the Union, that the commissioner .has
been compelled to assist the clerical
force of the department in answering
the floods of letters that have poured
In. The ordinary business of the officf
bad also to be attended to. Thousands
of copies of the usual annual bulletin
have been and are still being distrib
uted. Besides these, more than 15,000
district maps of Georgia have been
scattered throughout our own and
other states, and many thousands of
the new book, “Georgia: Historical and
Industrial,” have been sent into every
county of our state, as well as to pub
lic libraries and individuals who have
Written for it from every state in the
Union and from foreign countries, one
capy having been sent to a gentleman
who wrote for it from Natal, South
Africa.
The following letter, received a day
or two ago, is very similar to many
ethers that the daily mail brings to
this office:
“My Dear Sir: I beg to acknowl
edge the receipt of your valuable book,
•Georgia: Historical and Industrial/
While I have not read it near as care-,
fully as I will, I have read it suffi
ciently to pronounce it a gem, and
must say it will surely draw a crowd,
if it is circulated enough. I wish
there were 40,000 copies distributed
In the Northwest, so that homeseek-
ers and investors could see what we
have to offer. I have lived in Georgia
only five years, having come from
western Indiana, but I must say there
are more opportunities here than any
where else I know of for men of small
means. Land is cheap and is easily
cleared; timber is plentiful to build
and fence with, and the soil is as pro
ductive as that of most of the land
in the north. (I am speaking of South
Georgia, for that is all I am personally
acquainted with.) What is needed
most here is to rotate crops," as they
have to do in the Middle States, except
that here we will use peas and velvet
beans in place of clover, and the peas
are just as good as clover and the
beans superior to it. Follow beans
with corn; follow corn with oats; fol
low with peas the same season; follow
peas with cotton; then beans again,
if that doesn’t break the guano
sale unless at fancy prices.
Another letter was received a few
days ago from Louis E. Van Norman,
of Springfield, 6., editor of “Home
and Flowers/’ an illustrated magazine
published in the interest of a more
beautiful American home. In this let
ter Mr. Van Norman says: “As one
in particularly close touch with the
social conditions o&.our rural popula
tion, an expression of an opinion from
you as to the immediate need of the
farmer and his family in the matter ot
moral, intellectual and social better
ment would be highly interesting and
valuable. We are sending you a copy
of the February number of ‘Home and
Flowers/ which contains an outline of
the work proposed by the United
States secretary of agriculture. We
should be very glad indeed if you
would answer the following questions
and return this letter to us:
“1. What; in your opinion, is the. im
mediate need of the farmer and his
family in the matter of moral, intel
lectual and social betterment?
“2. Should such a work be begun as
the secretary suggests, by providing
practical training for the future wives
of the farmers in the direction of edu
cation as to sanitation, cooking and
the . rational practice of the arts of
home?.
“May we not hear from you, if only
in a few words?”
In answer, we would say, not only
to the writer of this letter, but also to
all the farmers of Georgia, the moral,
intellectual and social betterment of
our rural population will be insured
not only by attendance at the stated
times upon the house of God and send
ing the children to the daily 4 schools,
but also by having in every home a
library of choice, attractive books by
the best authors, written in a style to
catch and hold the attention of the
young, and by surrounding the home
with everything that helps to make it
truly the dearest spot on earth. No
matter how limited one’s means may
be, the hublest home may be made
pleasant by the practice of neatness,
and nature herself supplies with beau
tiful flowers and shrubs the materials
for adornment ^ of the house and
grounds, which, with proper care, will
lend such charm to the place that all
through life the children therein rear
ed will find in their own hearts a re
sponse to the words of the poet:
“Be it ever so humble, there is no
place like home.”
Again, not only the future wives of
the farmers should be carefully train
ed in the art of healthful cooking, but
the bpys as well as the girls should
be thoroughly educated as to sanita
tion and the practices of all the vir
tues and arts that make a happy home.
Mr. C. H. Beazly, in a recent news
paper article on “The Farm Versus
Other Lines of Business,” says there
are fewer failures in farming than in
any other known line of business. He
thinks, too, that the growth of trusts
will, by throwing many out of employ
ment, cause lands that are now shun
ned by so many to be tilled, and that
in spite of the odiousness of the trusts
there is in this fact a gleam of good
to come.
If through the operation of % the
trusts many shall be induced, to return
'to the farms, then will the cause of
agriculture “pluck from the-nettle dan
ger the flower safety.”
In concluding this talk, may I be
pardoned for alluding once more to
our new book? I say our, for not only
did I work unremittingly to secure the
necessary information, but Mr. R. F.
Wright, my- indefatigable assistant,
and Professor J. T. Derry, the well
known Georgia writer, worked diligent
ly and carefully upon its preparation.*
This volume is being distributed wide
ly throughout, our state. It has been
our aim to place it in every college
library and in the libraries of the lead
ing schools of Georgia, in both town
and country, so that the great mass
of our people may have access to the
large fund of information therein con
tained. Here let me say that on page
921 the omission of a figure in the
second item of the manufactures of
the state makes the capital invested in
these industries to appear as $8,789,-
656. It should be $89,789,656. The er
ror is apparent to one who reads the
whole page. Let every one.who has a
copy of this work cut this correction
out and paste it on the blank space
on page 920.
Those who write for our book need
not be discouraged if there occurs a
delay of several days. Their time will
come.

Commissioner.
