GEORGIA’S RESOURCES GREAT
F.R AND PRODUCTS BETTER
THAN CALIFORNIA’S; BUT
CALIFORNIA ADVERTISES.
gether with now and then a failure,
do you think that is such a large
yield? 1 told him of one Rabun
county farmer who sold $1,400 worth
of celery from one acre in 1913.
He was surprised of course, because
they didn't think we could raise cele¬
ry in Georgia. Most Georgia people
don't know it either, but you can if
you prepare for it like they do out
here and in Florida. One Dougherty
county farmer has produced as high
as 750 bushels of sweet potatoes to
the acre, and you know what they
are now worth. A Lowndes county
man produced a watermelon that
weighed 147 pounds. I have been
told that one Georgia farmer made
around $4,000 on one intensively
cultivated acre. 1 don’t propose to
vouch for that, but 1 just give you
this to show that we make some j
claims as well as California. 1 do
know this, that from $300 to $500
an acre profit are common in Geor¬
gia, according to agricultural re¬
ports in my hands,
They are proud of the fact out
here that California is only sixtli
from an agricultural and horticul
tural standpoint, but did you know
that Georgia is only FOURTH? Geor
gia is FIRST in peaches. She is SC
cond only to Texas in cotton, and if
it were not for the area of Texas she
would be first. Georgia is third in
meat production. While Georgia is
largely an agricultural state, her
mining opportunities are wonderful.
! paid a visit to the California State
fair this week and had another in¬
teresting talk with the man in charge
of the mining exhibits. He took a
great deal of pride in showing me an
exhibit of asbestos. Georgia laid
claim for a long while to the only
asbestos mine in the world, with the
exception of Wyoming. Georgia has
the largest deposit of kaolin. She
has 142 square miles of coal; 175
square miles of iron; besides her de¬
posits of gold and other minerals.
The thing that impresses you most
out here is the bigness of the under¬
takings. These people out here are
accustomed to thinking in big fig¬
ures. They think in millions when
they undertake a project of any
I kind. They have to do this to gel
anywhere, because they have to
spend millions and millions of dollars
getting their land so it will produce.
They have faith in themselves and in
their state. That is very clearly
shown by the irrigation projects and
other reclamation schemes. 1 have
been shown one tract of 65,000
acres that were formerly overflowed
lands. It is now one of the finest
farming sections in California.
There is a project on here in Cali¬
fornia just now that I want to bring
to the attention of Georgia people
later, and that is a land settlement
project. California now has a law
making is possible for the tenant
farmer to become a land-owner easi
ly. lt ii^ too big a story to go into
this here. But 1 want to call to your
attention this one thing. In 1910
two-thirds of Georgia’s farm lands
were cultivated by tenant farmers!
Think of that! How much more val-

uable these 190,000 farmers
be to Georgia if they were
owners. The California bureau
land settlement is in position to
their new settler every kind of
sistance and information that he
need. That is very important.
of the chief sources of failure on
part of people going into a new
tion of country is the fact that
do not know the soil and
farming conditions. Georgia
provide a means that her
farming population can own
and have a bureau to advise and co¬
operate with the new-comer. We have
a land area sufficient to take care of
10,000,000 people anu we must get
them.
Georgia has a wonderful
turiity to develop and grow in pros
perity in the next ten years. The
possibilities of our agricultural and
mineral resources are beyond cal
culation. In South Georgia we have
oil lands and vast areas of farming
lands to develop, our ports to build
up, and in North Georgia they have
te minerals and water powers, fruits
and a hundred industries to foster.
We all know about the world-fa
mous American Spirit. We know of
the California Spirit. We want a
Georgia Spirit. We want every man,
woman and child a Georgia booster,
We want to SELL Georgia to Geor
gians so that when a visitor comes to
our state he will become a Georgia
booster just as they become a Cali
lornia booster when they come to
California. |
The casual tourist in California
gets caught. He conies for a few days
or weeks and they show him the
glories. They tell him the romantic
iide and he is SOLD. I was very much
impressed with the beauty of South
•rn California, because it is indeed
pretty. 1 marvelled at the transform
ttion of that desert country into a
leautiful, blooming flower garden 1
ind orchard and my first impression
,vas how wonderful is California, i
.VI rs. Simmons brought me to my
senses when she casually remarked
hat we too might have things as
pretty if we took as much care and
;pent as much money trying to have
.hese beautiful gardens, That is the
secret of the whole thing. They TRY.
And they keep on trying. They are
not content with anything less than
success. How this trip has inspired me.
I am more of a Georgia booster now
than ever. Since coming here 1 have
come to realize more than ever
Georgia’s greatness and her wonder¬
ful opportunities.
There is only one thing for Geor¬
gia to do—SELL Georgia to Geor
gians. We must advertise just as
California does. She spends millions
and millions at it. We spend nothing,
or haven’t so far.

LET US SING
Let us sing of Christ and heaven,
And the raiment white as snow;
Of the rest through Jesus given,
And the Lord Who loves us so.
Of His precious love abiding,
Daily let us joyous sing
Him confiding ’
Till the world in
Shall unite to praise our king. |
To the Christ Who faileth never,
And is counting all our tears,
Let us sing; we’ll sing forever
In Life’s happy sinless spheres.

LOCAL KNITTING MILL IS
SHUT DOWN, ORDERS
The Fort Valley Knitting Mills’
cal plant was shut down last
day owing to the widespread
orders for cotton products.
Textile mills throughout the
try, notably in the Carolinas,
had to suspend operation
rily for the same reason, many
■ cellations of orders having been
I ceived from buyers. It is the preva
lent , opinion . . that , wholesale , , buyers
of cotton products direct lrom the
mills are arbitarily curtailing and
canceling orders with a view to
bringing down the price of cotton.
The local knitting mill has sent
some of its machinery to the Macon
plant of the company, which is still
running.
The Fort Valley Cotton Mills were
in operation this week, but run
ning only one shift per day, on a
schedule of 40 hours per week.
