Immigration has had quite good
deal to do with enhancing the values
Of lands. The holding of lands in
large bodies in Mississippi has been q
drawback In the past upon immigra-
ton on the part of the comparatively
small farmer. But that situation Is
changing and new people are coming
from other quarters of the country
especially Illinois and Iowa. This
movement is likely to be FASTENED with
the progress of reclamation of rich
alluvial lands In some of the delta
counties and the bringing under the
pillow OF cut-over timber lands In the
southern parts OF the State. Maryland
has recently received quite number
of substantial settlers from the West
and a steady now of like character has
gone toward Virginia. New people
from the North and East are going into
Arkansas where a large per cent of
the farmers have a surplus of money
sufficient to carry them until har-
vest.
Probably the greater number of Inn
migrants from other parts OF the coun-
country and from abroad have found
homes In Texas.

Prosperity and Progress in
Agriculture in the South

Baltimore, May 1.-(SpeciaL)-R
Election of gratifying prosperity and
progress in Southern agriculture is had
in three pages of letters, published in
this weeks issue OF The Manufacturers
Record, from representative manufac-
turers or sellers in the South of farm
implements and machinery.
The letters cover the territory ex-
tending from the Pennsylvania line to
the Rio Grande, and, written by men
in close touch with farmers of many
kinds, they constitute an excellent In
dex to conditions. With few excep-
lions, and they largely consequent upon
local Influences, the conditions are thus
pictured are conditions of prosperity
hardly possible a few years ago, and
steadily tending to become greater.
with increasing freedom from mort
cages and other debts following good
prices for cotton, tobacco. fruit and
other farm products. farming methods
have been Improving for several years
with a freer buying of tools and ma
chinery and a better treatment OF the
land. One individual with an expert
ence of twenty years in the trade
recalls the time when not more than
25 per cent cash was paid in purchases
in the past season such payments have
averaged Sc per cent cash and he looks
for continued improvement as farm
ers have come to realize the importance
of rotation of crops and of the use of
harvard fertilizers. Another finds
that the only complaint from farmers
is that the movement of goods Is. too
slow.
From one of the greatest textile man
ufacturing centers comes the record of
better prices for farm lands and bet
ter markets for products due partly
TO the increasing Of consuming popu-
lations at industrial centers. but at
other points there have been evidences
of an inclination to return to the farms
from towns and cities because Of the
temporary diminution of opportunities
for work in mines and factories. Lands
are demanding better prices because
the stronger financial ability of farm
ers has permitted them to make long
needed improvements and to enhance
the fertility of the soil. In Missouri
for instance. land values have increased

In Texas land can be purchased in
some localities for from SIS to SIS an
acre. but in other parts 800 an acre
are gladly paid. especially in the
brownsville region, where Irrigation
has advanced the price in three years
from 81 to 800 and more an acre. In
ten years some land in Georgia has
advanced from $40 to $50 an acre, and
other lands from SO and "a an acre to
$15 and $40 an acre, with the prospect
OF at least doubling within the next
Few years. Improved conditions in
Georgia are traceable, not so much to
the influx of newcomers as to more
business-like methods in the conduct
of farm operations. including a more
general use of improved machinery and
stronger determination on the part of
farmers to live at home
There is more diversification in crops
than heretofore. Comparative inactiv-
ity recently of some manufactures in
West Virginia has not impaired the
prosperity of the farmers there, and
in some localities they are planting a
large amount of tobacco. Increased
prices for corn are checking in Tonnes

through South Alabama. The walking
journey will end at Daphne-on Mobile

miles, and the walkers will probably
he several days in making the trip.
The party will walk the dirt roads.
as one of the motives for the trip is a
desire to become better acquainted with
country scenery and country life. The
route. however. will be near the line
of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road as far as Flomaton. At or near
Flomaton the party will leave the vi
cinity of the railroad and strike across
a part OF West FLORIDA. the Perdido
River and Baldwin County At Daph-
ne couple of days will be spent, that
party finally going to Mobile by steam
boat. They will take the train for, the
return trip to Montgomery at Mobile
1t is the purpose of the newspaper
men to visit the larger towns along
the route, Greenville, Evergreen and
Brewton. The first night will be spent
in Calhoun or Fort Deposit.
1t is probable that the trip will pro-
duce some newspaper letters and
sketches relating to scenes and persons
along the route. but this will be only
Incidental. The principal purpose un.
DERIVING the tour is the wish to spend
seven days in active exercise in the
open air and sunshine.
In explaining the proposed tour. the
party gives out the following state
ment.

We are not walking for a prize. We
are not foolish enough to say that we
are gQipgTto ieaYe Montgomery with
out cent and. make our way through
the country living on the people. On
the contrary, we are going to leave
well supplied with money and when
we are in any of the towns we are go-
Ing to have the best accommodations
that money can buy. On the trip we
do not propose to stint ourselves IN the
matter of food or sleep.
I'VE are not going to be ruled by an
arbitrary schedules of miles to be Gov.
cred each day. Generally speaking we
hope to make twenty-five miles day,
perhaps thirty, IL we feel like 1t. We
propose to ioiter when we are inclined
and to loaf a bit in any pleasant spot
of scenery that appeals to us. A day
light start will be made each morn
ing and the bigger part of the days
walking will be done by IL O'Clock. In
the middle of, the day we will idle
away two or three hours in some shady
spot The trip Is simply a plan to get
away from the noise, jangle and hard
work of the city and lose ourselves for
a week In the country with it's fresh
air and sunshine. Naturally. we ex-
pect some physical benefit from the
trip.
I'VE will sleep in hotel when we
can. in farm house when we can and
perhaps one or two nights in the woods.
but only when we have TO do IT. We
will travel in light marching order, a
few necessary articles packed in 3
knapsack being our only baggage. So
