Over one thousand acres will be set apart for truck farming in Gibson County Rione, and similar reports come from other counties. The demand for canned vegetables and fruits is practically un. limited, and will increase more rapidly than the factories can supply the goods, Now, we have in the South the fluest fruit and truck farming regions in the world, and, by establishing numerous canniog factories right hero within a stone's throw of the fields, our farmers will find in a very short time that the now industry will make them far more prosperous than they could hope to be under the all.cottun systom. It is a gratifying sign to see the rapid develop. mont of this iadustry in some parts of the South, and it goes without saying that Georgia offers a very inviting fleld for it.
