What Georgia Can And Should Be

Georgia produced last year about 160 million dollars worth of food products including sale and slaughter of farm animals. By planting corn widely and expanding oats losses, we could raise about 100 million bushels of grain and double potato areas. Hay crops can be established in sixty days, maintaining forage for livestock to prevent west shortages. Increase sorghum for syrup and feed, avoid slaughtering breeding stock, and double hogs. Expand poultry output. if actions proceed, Georgia can meet local meat and grain needs in 1918 and reduce dependence on outside supply.
