NEW YORK, Dec 3.—The New York American prints the following to-day: "Georgia is probably this year the most prosperous State in tne Union,” declared Governor John M. Slaton, of Georgia, yesterday at the Waldorf- Astoria. “This is no exaggeration. The vice president of the National Park Rank of this city, which has been the cor respondent for the State of Georgia for many years, remarked to roe o- day that he could assert conserva tively that Georgia was more pros perous than any other State. "The cotton crop has been enor- mmn—one bale for every man. womnn and child in the State, black or white. In other States the production of cotton has been limited. In t consc- quence, the price is high, and Geor gia is getting the benefits of bumper crops and high prices. “We have also raised this year more foodstuff Than ever before and do not have to rely, as heretofore, upon the Western States. We produced eighty million bushels of corn. Just be fore I came to New York I had am ple opportunity trr learn the situation by personal observation. I made a tour of the State, visiting the county fairs. “Everybody 1n Georgia has con tributed to the year’s prosperity. W’hile the farmer exhibited his cot ton and corn and products of the smokehouse, his wife exhibited hef * preserves, pickles, sauces, jellies, etc.; and the girls In the canning clubs showed how they make as high as $160 out of one-tenth of an acre.” Governor Slaton became enthu siastic when asked If scientific farm ing was being introduced in his State. “Our agricultural colleges are do ing great work in that direction,” he replied. » “The results are more than grat ifying. Should the boll weevil invade Georgia as it has Texas. Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, we will jo prepared to meet the situation by early planted cotton, by getting the most resistive cotton and by diver sification of the crops. Reverting to the prosperity of the farmers, Governor Slaton said that his only fear was that they might become extravagant in the prodigality of their resources. “I come from an atmosphere of optimism and good cheer,” he as serted. "The Atlanta Georgian, Mr. Hearst* paper in our State, is popular and prospering,” he said. "It knows the ideals of the people and their aspi rations. It has always been prompt in rendering assistance to the needy of Atlanta and the State of Georgia, purely from a. patriotic standpoint, and I am glad to pay this tribute to it.” When asked the object of his visit to New York Governor Slaton said it related to legislation to be passed to refund $3,679,0000 of the State indebt edness which falls due in the sum mer of 1915. Confidence in State. "Our Constitution does not permit the creation of any State debt at all,” he said, "nor does it permit the in crease of the bonded indebtedness. Wo have reduced the bonus from $11,000- 000 to $6,000,000; and we have a rail road running from Atlanta to Chat tanooga that is pledged by the Con stitution for anv debt of the Sta*e. So you will perceive, that we respoct our obligations and have ample se curity. “But what is equal to it all Is the product in the form of manhood.
