Some southern men whom YOU will meet
VIII say that they have the best labor in
the world and IN some respects I am In
cliued 70 think they have. The south has
reached the point that most Of the states
OF the northwest reached. Years ago sec
tion after section devoted Itself 20 corn
and wheat until the land refused % viaid
these crops and the farmer was driven To
seek diversified ton. Prosperity came 10 The
northwest through the diversin,ation Of
industries on the farm. I know OF no other
way through which u can come 20 tho
south. i seems 10 me that the necesa'-

lines cannot be expected 90 originate with
