From Dr. George T. Powell’s Report Dr. George T. Powell, president of the Agricultural Experts’ Association, made [he following special report upon the possibilities of apple culture in NP theast Georgia, based upon examinations of lands in Habersham County : “Much lias been written about the ‘big- red apples' of the irrigated section of the Northwest, and millions of dollars are being invested in orchard devel opment there; but the longer these Western apples are used by Eastern consumers the less in favor do they grow. A more discriminating taste is now demanding apples that are of a high quality rather than at tractiveness as their main feature. “With an average annual rainfall of sixty inches in the mountainous regions referred to in this report (North Geor gia), irrigation need not be considered. With tillage and cover crops the soil will continue to improve for a century to come. It is a soil which will produce not only most beautiful apples in appearance, but of the highest quality in flavor.” HOME BOARD OF THE SOUTH’RN BAPTIST CONVENTION 714-722-723-724 Austell Bldg.

MORE ABOUT THE FAMOUS “HILLS OF HABERSHAM” The “HILLS of HABERSHAM,” FAMOUS in SONG and STORY, Arc FAST BECOMING the “APPLE GARDEN SPOT” ol the WORLD In many places mammoth apple trees two feet in diam eter grow wild in the woods, the result perchance of stray apple seeds dropped by the lone traveler three-quarters of a century ago. NOWHERE ELSE IN CHRISTENDOM would they have lived and flourished; yet here they stand in the mountain fastnesses, living monuments to hidden treasures that await only the skillful hand of Modern Horticulture to be converted into wealth. Habersham County is 80 miles north of Atlanta. It is the center of one of the richest Apple sections on the ^>be, besides being magnificent in scenery. Beautiful Tallulah Falls, “Georgia’s Playground,” fast becoming one of the most famous summer resorts in the United States, is on the line between Habersham and Rabun Counties. THE HABERSHAM ORCHARD AND IMPROVE MENT COMPANY owns seventeen hundred and fourteen acres of choice land in the very heart of this great Apple region. The property is seven miles from Clarkesville, eleven miles from Tallulah Falls and five miles from the far- famed Nacoochee Valley. .We are developing here a mammoth Apple Orchard ot 600 acres. If you have faith in Georgia’s resources, if you want to Help keep at home a portion of the vast sums we contribute annually to the enrichment of the Apple growers of the Northwest, and, above all, if you want to invest your earnings, LARGE OR SMALL, where they are SURE TO MULTIPLY and yield you a handsome yearly income, we offer you a part, a partnership in the development of this GREAT COMMERCIAL ORCHARD. Unless Ood forgets the “Hills of Habersham, " and the sun ceases to shine on them and the rain to fall, your investment in this enter prise will grow beyond the dreams of avarice. The Apple Industry in Georgia is sure to become second only to Cotton, and that in an incredibly short time. It will bring millions of wealth into the State and do much to win for Georgia and the “New South” that commercial prestige to which they are entitled. It is certainly an unbusinessliKe and thriftless policy for the South to continue to enrich other sections and pay freight for 2,000 miles on enormous quantities of apples, WHEN NATURE HAS ENDOWED US WITH EVERY ADVANTAGE OVER THEM IN SOIL, CLIMATE AND NATURAL CONDITIONS. You are not buying vacant land, or loaning money on land of doubtfnl value. You are buying an interest in a mort gage on valuable orchards already planted and growing. YOUR MONEY is needed to help bring it to the bearing stage. Here Is What Prominent Men Have to Say About Our President
