THAT IMMIGRATION
MOVEMENT.

Secretary Mort l.. Bixler, of the Hat
tiesburg Commercial club, is listing
lands for the immigration movement,
which he purposes to set on foot in
the early summer, and the holder OF
cutover lands in this section who falls
to list at least a portion of his prop
erty will regret his negligence.
An immigration movement is essen
tial to the agricultural development
of this section The slow process OF
evolution which has prevailed during
the past several years will not suffice,
as the Industrial and commercial in
terests of this section are largely de-
pendent on agriculture to take the
place of the timber industry, which
must ultimately disappear
Holders of large tracts of cutover
lands can well afford to list each sub
sequent quarter section of their prop
erty at nominal figures, when the set
Element of these lands will more than
double the value of the remainder.
1t is only by offering small farms at
ridiculodsly low prices to actual set
tiers that our cutover lands can be de-
veloped, and even this can only be &C.
complished by a concerted movement
such as Mr.. Bixler has in contempla-
ton.
The News has before called atten-
ton to the fact that cutover pine lands
soon grow into thickets of scrub oaks,
making them undesirable for agricul-
tural purposes because of the expense
incident to clearing such lands for cul-
tivation.
The time to put these lands into cul-
tivation is Immediately after the pine
timber is taken away, or at least be-
fore the oak aftergrowth becomes a
formidable hindrance to development
If the land owners of the Hatties-
burg district will enter heartily into
this immigration movement, placing
share of their holdings on the market
at nominal values, real estate pro-
moters from the North and West will
take hold of the movement, and they
will do for South Mississippi what
they have done for the great West.
The tide of immigration can only be
turned In this direction by concerted
effort, and concerted effort can only
be secured by pooling of interests,
such as that which Mr.. Bixler has sug-
gested.
Owners of cutover lands in this Sec
ton of the state should write Mr.. Blk
Ter at once, telling him the extent of
their holdings and at what price they
are willing to sell a portion of it to
lctual settlers. Prompt action in this
natter means much to Hattiesburg
md the territory tributary to the city.
