LOW RATES ANNOUNCED FOR
SOUTHEASTERN LAND SHOW
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 16.— Through
the co-operation of the railroads, all
M which are interested in bringing
farmers to the South, the lowest rates
ever granted, except to great eevnts
like the I’anama-Paciflc exposition,
have just been announced for the
-’autheastern Und show, to be held it
Atlanta on February 1 to 15.
The object of the show, which is
modeled after the great land shows of
Chicago and the northwest, is to ex
ploit Southern farm lands and attract
s« (tiers. It is a rather surprising and
significant fact that not more than 25
per cent, of the cultivatable land in
the state of Georgia is now under cul
tivation, and the proportion in other
'-'cutbeastern states is similarly low.
Southeastern farm lands of all kinds
v : 11 be “on exhibit” at the land show,
tl " exhibits consisting of samples of
toils and products and comprehensive
deta concerning the location and price
cf such lands, the average climate and
iciufall, and other facts which pros
pective purchasers will want to know.
A big feature of the show will be a
i arantee of the correctness of all

impetus will be given to the general
farming interests of the entire South
east.

ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 16. -What has
become of the Scotch pipers who used

his best to find one for some sort of
