ADVERTISING THE SOUTH

Southerners are raising the slogan, Organize and advertise Due to lack of intelligent exploitation" says one of these of gentleman. the south is less understood and more misunder- stood than any other region of olr country
 From 1880 to 1900 the amount of farm land under cultivation in twelve old Southern states increased twenty three million acres. or thirty three per cent. In the same years the amount of farm land under cultivation in six new Western states increased fifty eight million acres, or one hundred and thirty per cent.
 Only forty-five per cent of the farm land in the Southern group of States was under cultivation in 1900 against eighty per cent, for example, in Indi- ana, Illinois and Ohio. where the density of population is twice that of the South
 Since 1900 there has been a notable gain, Southern bank deposits increas- ing one hundred and forty per cent against one hundred and ten per cent for the Middle West says the Saturday Evening Post. That the South still suffers from lack of organised. ener- getic advertising such as the new West enjoyed, is, however a growing conviction With this idea the South ern Commercial Congress, having headquarters at Washington, has been instituted. It believes that relatively fewer investors and settlers have re- liable information of the opportunities in the way of undeveloped resources, in the South than in any other section, and it purposes to remedy that con- dition.
 We would hazard a guess that there are ten farmers in the Middle West who are posted on Canadian wheat
