Two fine samples of what the State produces. Both Horse and Buggy were "Made in Georgia." 74 FACTS ABOUT GEORGIA is prudent will naturally study the markets and best methods of cultivation, in advance, and not be led blindly by the many records of big profits from small acreages, into fields of which he has no knowledge. In the East and North, however, there are many first-rate farmers who have learned by hard experience to profitably cultivate the levels, or hillsides, or among jocks, and can make more corn or wheat or potatoes to the acre than even Western farmers. This is no reflection on the Western farmer, however, but is due to physical conditions. When these experi enced Eastern agriculturists realize how much more they could do with Georgia soils, in Georgia©s favoring climates, with their longer growing season, which for some products is continuous throughout the year, and with our accessibility to ready-made markets and big trade centers, they may hasten to accept this, the cordial invitation of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, to come to Georgia and investigate the subject for themselves. Produce More on Cheaper Land There are about forty-four persons to the square mile in Geor gia, and a diversity of opportunity such as no other state in the Union can offer, considering our railroads, seaports and proximity to the Eastern markets. Massachusetts has 408.8 persons to the square mile, Rhode Island 508.5, Connecticut 231.3, New Jersey 337.7 and Pennsylvania 171.0.

By the use of good farming methods to which he is accustomed he can make more money here, and he can also engage in growing some of the many profitable specialties, to say nothing of cotton, and still be 36 or less hours from the New York market. Assistance in Finding Homes There is not a county in Georgia where farm land can not be bought for as low as ten dollars an acre, which, by using grit and gumption, can be brought to a high state of cultivation. Higher prices of course prevail in accordance with present improvements, proximity to railroads or ports and with many other conditions. High-class lands under advanced cultivation might cost from $50 to $100 an acre, but compared to the values of similar lands in the North their cheapness will be apparent. The Georgia Chamber of Commerce is equipped, through the parent organiza tion, or through its various town and county units, to assist all serious inquirers for definite information concerning the oppor tunities the State affords for home seekers.
