Georgia lands fine investments in farm property
Comptroller General W A Wright discusses a statement showing Georgia farm lands rising in value over years. He recalls a relative who invested about 20000 in Effingham county land at 2.50 per acre, later selling timber for five and cleared land at ten. He cites current prices 25 to 50 per acre and predicts a double value in ten years, noting Georgia’s cotton demand and two-crop yields. Wright compares Georgia with western prices and urges investment in state lands.
