DEMAND FOR FARMING LANDS.

Mr. W. J. Hurlbut of Chattanooga,
of the land and industrial department.
of the Southern Railway, has closed a
deal for 800 acres of land in Nor,h
Alabama for colony of Germans from
New York. The first move toward the
colony will be rs families. In talk at
Memphis Mr.. Hurlbut said:
81 find that at the present time
there is the greatest demand for farm
ing lands IN the Sou b. The cry is no
longer for the farmers to go West and
grow up with the country. That has
become thing of the past. Now it Is
the proper thing to look to the South
for chances of investment, and even
the farmers and stock -raisers of the
West and Northwest are looking to
the South for their future homes.
81 don't care what anyone says, the
time has come when the people of the
North and East are compelled to realize
the advantages of the Sou h over all
other sections of the country.
During the last two years crops in
the South have been vastly superior to
those of other sections and the farming
classes have been making and saving
and investing their money. The
Southern banks are OVERLOOKING with
| capital, and Northern men and con
Germs are now coming to us for what
a few years ago we were forced to go
to New York for.
This has caused the shrewd bust.
ness men to look to the South for in
vestments, and they are finding them
every day of the year.
Last week the industrial agents oil
| the railroads of the Southeast held a
convention in Chattanooga. All the
roads were represented at the meeting,
and plans were adopted for the de
velopment and improvement of the
country along the lines of the various
roads. While the roceedlngs of the
convention took place behind closed
doors, it is not violating an conf.
dence to state that the reports of the
various agents showed that millions
of dollars in capital have been brou ght
into the South during the past year.
"Th1s has been scattered in every
State south of the Mason and Dixon
| line and along the lines of all the rail-
| roads,"

FIGHTING A COMMON ENEMY

The opinion given by DR.. Howard,
chief entomologist of the United States
Department of Agriculture, in respect
to the boil weevll the other day at
New Orleans, is calculated to have a
depressing effect upon the cotton
states, According to a dispatch to
one of the commercial papers of New
York he said that the progress of the
weeviI could only be retarde J, that
the pest couldn'tbe exterminated
cit is only a question of time" he
said, ''when it will be in every one of
the cotton States
The hope has been entertained that
the pest could be exterminated Con-
gress has appropriated large sum Of
money for the purpose, and both Texas
and Louisiana have made approprla
tons. According to DR.. Howard, il
is only question of time when the
other cotton states will be fighting the
weev1l.
1t is his view that the cotton plant
ers might as well make up their minds
to raise cotton in spite of the pest.
Of course they can do this, but the
crop will not be so profitable as it is
now, and it will be produced under
greater difficulties. There was hope
that kind of cotton might be found
that would not be attacked by the
weevil, but it has been abandoned
The experiments In the direction of
extermiuating the weevil will not be
abandoned, Notwithstanding the opin-
ion of DR. Howard, though it is prob
a BILE that his view is generally accept
ed by scientists acquainted with the
subject. The unexpected may happen
and means of destroying the pest
found. It is certainly to be hoped
that such will be the ease Savannah
