fi’ CALIFORNIA LETTER. xg
(CONTINUED. )
In traveling over the Southern
Pacific, after dark has fallen over
beautiful California, one is attracted
by the bright illuminations around
every little station, no matter how
small, showing well-kept lawns and
parking and a distant glimpse of
paved streets with beautiful trees.
Over the station will be a huge :-aig‘ul
in electric lights, telling the name
of the town, Signs in the railroad
stations direct strangers to the local
Chamber of Commerce; in fact there
is always at each station an employee
of the Chamber of Commerce in
uniform, wearing a cap, marked
“‘Chamber of Commerce,” It is his
business to meet all strangers and
show them around. He has charge
of the information booth at the sta
tion. Prespective investors or even
tourists, who merely want to look at
the town or ranches, ar(-. given free
automobile rides to view the indus
tries, homes and surrounding cout
try. Attractive, illustrated printed
matter is always given them when
leaving, and an invitation to come
again. When a stranger takes his
departure from one of these Califoir
nia towns, no stone has been left un
turned by the Chamber of Commerce
to induce him to settle there. Heo
has complete information as to the
resources, the industries, and what
can be most profitably grown on the
ranches. He has been given oppor
tunity to talk personally with the
successful ranchmen and inspect the
work going on at the ranches. He
knows the cost of production down to
every detail, including irrigation,
and the average profits clear of all
expenses. Improvements are every
where made in these little towns not
only for the pleasure of the people
v but with the idea that it will attract
mvestment in the town. Take the
nnusually finely-equipped pubii:
schools, libraries and art galleries, in
every town. These are little palaces
in Southern California, and are con
ceded to be good investments not only
to produce an unusually progressive
tvpe of American citizenship but to
attract investors to locate in that
particular town. They have the best
teachers obtainable in the schools as
the smallest salary paid a schoul
Teacher in California is $90.00 a
month. The child goes on up from
the Kindergarten througi the High
School and College at absolutely no
expense to parents for either tuition
or books.
' Then again the family of moderate
means finds life a never ending
pleasure in Southern California, be
cause City and County expend a cer
tain sum of moucy every year in giv
ing free lectures, illustrated with
moving pictures and colored stereop
tican views at least twice a week in
public schools, libraries and are gai
eries. These are always on interest
ing and very attractive subjects.
There are splendid free band con
certs Sunday afternoon in the p.in
cipal park of the town. There are
iddways free recreation parks with
<lub houses and tennis, golf and cro
juet grounds. Young and old in
dulge in these pastimes here, Every
thing is done to get people together
in a community spirit and make them
enjoy life in their own town.
Georgia has many advantages overe
California, and living is really more
; vomfortable and pleasant there all
the year round. Nothing has been
ione 2s yet to bring these advant
ages before the people of the whole
country in such a way as to impress
capitalists and home seekers. Cali
‘ornia maintains information booths
in all the principal cities of the
North and at all of the big resorts
where wealthy people are in the habit
of congregating. Printed matter at
tractively illustrated in colors is free
iy given away. The result is mil
lions of dollars are rolling into Cali
fornia, so the Loz Angeles papvrs;
#tate, and bank statements show it. |
! We have in North Georgia a rich '
and wonderfully fertile country and
mountains covered with splendid
trees. Here are farms that are cap
able of producing all the frnits and
vegeiables of the temperate zone.
The Georgia farmer can raise peaches
apples and grapes, if he will go the
trouble, cqual to any ever grown in
California. The price of lard is re
diciulously low, and should attract
the man of moderate means. 7Tho!
Northern investor has never heal'rlg
of these lands. He pays from $799
to $l,OOO an acre for the ordinary
ranch land in California because it
is 50 well advq-rtirsod, and he hag theo
erroneous idea that the heat of the
summer months in Georgia is weil
nigh unbearable. The reverze is
true, but he will have to be shown
it. He does not know what the soil
of Georgia is capable of producing
and the marvelous profits from a
well . managed plantation growing
only cotton and corn. The cost of ir
rigation for the average ranch in
California is a considerab’s iteimn.
One ranchman told us his i'l for ir
rigating his ranch for a year was sl,-i
900.00. The ranchman has to pay}
his laborers from thirty to forty cents
an hour for their work as against
the dollar and a ouarter or dollar
and A& half & day, [ ai: {old the
negro laborers receive in th» South,
Here is this wonderfully, fertile
country of North Georgia with a
plentiful rainfall, whech is such a
blessing tc the farmer, cheap labor,
a healthy and temperate climate,
land #0 reasonable that the man o!f

for the boom that will surely come.

very moderate means has a chance
get to gether and systematically ad
vertise these wonderful advantages
as is done in California, and make
things locally attractive to home
seekers, by beautifying the towns,
this day can be hastened. A system
of advertising should be maintained
throughout. the north and west. A
fund should be started to make this
possible. It is a good investment,
‘and will result in diverting some of
‘the money that iz rolling into Cali
if(n'nin. Investors will do much to
make the improvements that we
would all like to see accomplished,

have not the money to carry out.
