Stock for the South.

j.. w. Grow in Southern Farm
Magazine of Baltimore for Febru-
ary:
We believe the time has fully come,
in view Of the above and other con-
ditions, when the wonderful posi-
bilities of the South as a stock ooun-
try should be prominently exploited,
all conditions being exceptionally
favorable, and considering, as al
ready obsel ved, that the vast free
range territory of the West, which
for half century past (thouRh not,
ably the past twenty-five years) has
been sending hundreds of thousands
Of grass fed cattle to the markets of
the world at prices very much below
those realized for the rn.fed stock
Of the East and Middle West, has
been practically wiped of existence,
our nation having thereby lost one of
it's most prolific sources Of supply.
The great body Of these pasture lands
can never again under any circum-
stance figure as prominent factor
in the cattle industry Of the country.
The cattle barons, who have been the
8 Die beneticiaries Of free ranges, ore
heing forced by the United States
government to vacate these vast tracts
Of public lands they have 80 long
used without leave or license,
and must now retire from the bust
ness or seek new fields where they
can own their own range. The South
alone can meet this exigency.
