Southern Farms. ),
Rapid Increase in v | uU'e
Makes the Whole South
Prosperous.

nile III Is true that the in
dustrial development of the
south is going forward it is true
that, by virtue of the extent OF
the agricultural interest of the
south, agriculture is yet the foun-
dation of the business of that
section. A change from poverty
to prosperity of the farmer, and
a change from land without a
selling value to land in demand
at an advance OF SO to $50 pe
cent. over the nominal price Of
one or two years ago, is the mos
farreaching development in
Southern advancement of the
last quarter of a century.
It's farreaching in many WAYS.
1t means that within the last
year or two southern farm proper
ties have increased not less than
81 OO0,00O,000 in value. proba-
bly, at least $500, 900, 900. But
more than that, it means that uu-
der this improved financial con-
diiion the southern farmer has
gained new courage, new back
bone; that he has learned how to
market his cotton crop; that he
has fought to a finish the great
battle as to whether the producer
or the Spectator is to control
the price of his staple. Having
Vol this fight, the entire hand
ling of cotton from the field ia
the factory, whether the factory
be in this country or in Europe,
has entered upon an entirely
new stage in its history. 1t also
means that land will be more
thoroughly cultivated, for the
successful man, whether he is a
farmer, a merchant or a manu-.
facturer, is always better able to
work to good advantage than the
one who is fighting a losing
battle.
During the last six years the
total value of the cotton crop,
including seed has been $4,000,
900, against $780, OO, 900 for
the preceding six years, showing
IA gain in the last six years over
the preceding six of over $780,
100000. 1t is not, however, due
to this great increase in cotton
alone that the Southern farmer
is in better shape. More and
more has the Investigation of
agriculture gone on; more and
