RAILROADS THE FARMERS BEST
FRIEND,

Mere natural advantages will moi

laws will come capital, manufacturers
and railroads; with the railroad and
manufacturer will come the fruitiOn o1

Under our soft skies he will see around

ding heads of the cotton boil, mingled
with the orchard to gladden. and de-
light the small farm. The SCOT from
the manufactures will fall on the
green land, and the whirl Of the wheels
will gladden. and delight every valley
The rush of the locomotive will bring
to us the civilizing influence of othel
lands, and amidst his perennial crop
the Southern farmer will dwell in hap
piness which is denied any other tillel
of the soil.

In the earlier days of the manufac-
tory in the East, as is well known, the
people were frugal, lived close and
raised the heavier grains entirely, Civ.
ing comparatively little attention to
the vegetable products. Last year the
vegetable product Of Massachusetts,,
the entire creation of the mandatory

Straw berries and cranberries amount
ed to nearly 100000.
WHY THERE ARE NO ABANDONED
FARMS IN NEW ENGLAND.
would trespass upon my valuable
space did I continue this statement to
further show that New England, the
seat of the mandatory, Is making
money out of the small farming to q
greater extent than she ever did in the
olden days. The abandoned farm in
five years will be thing of the past
in New England. Without the manu-
factory the rocky farms of that section
could not exist, and there is no possi-
BILE comparison between her thin soil
and hard climate and the soft climate
and rich soil of the South.

I take it that it needs no argument
to show that the ultimate end of the
Southern farmer should be the estab.
lishment of home market which will
bring the diver-ification of his pro.
ducts. This primarily can only be
brought about by the building of rail
roads. The manufactory soon follows
the railroad.
RAILROADS GIVE US THE MARKETS
OF THE WORLD.
In a late number of the Southern
Farm Magazine I was struck with O
very able article on Southern truck
farming by Colonel Killebrew. On
reading the article closely I found
that the great truck business at Nor.
folk was coincident with the railroad
and ship lines; that the great vegeta.
BILE product of Western Tennessee
came with the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad, and, in fine, the splendid
agricultural development of the mid.
die south was simply the result of the
railroad. AS matter of fact, an an
alysis of the article showed that it was
but mastery statement of what had
been the splendid effect of the railroad
upon the Southern farmer.
RAILROAD BUILDING SHOULD BE
ENCOURAGED.
Such being the case, let the South
ern farmer exert his great power and
wipe out the old-fashioned and restric-
tive legislation which diverts the rail-
road from his fertile valley, rich fields
and deep orebeds. Allow capital the
largest liberality consistent with safe
ty, and a great step will have been
taken in the development of this idea.
Attempting to interest capital in the
building of a railroad in one of our
States l was met with the drastic rail-
road and corporation commission,
which cared little for the farmer, but
much for the hal-dozen politicians
needing places. Let us get the rail
