SOUTH SHARES IN PROSPERITY.
Enormous Rise in the Value of
Farm Propcrty

In the race for wealth the southern
farmer is abreast of the western
granger and the northern manufac-
turer. He is no longer hampered by
poverty and tradition. From all over
the south come reports of expanding
industries. 1t is computed that farm
properties In the eleven states that
once seeded from the union have
risen in value more than 81 900 900 900
In two years. The average yield of
these lands since this century be-
gan is $200,000.0O0 year greater than
IL was In the preceding six years. The
south now not only grows cotton for
the world, but manages the market
ing of it. The Spectator who once
got all the cream. gets IT no longer.

his own battle, which means that he
