John McLaren, gives the following ad-
vice:
"s In preparing the plan of
planting care should be taken TO con-
meet the different groups of trees under
one general plan and not to gather the
trees and shrubs IN spots or In stiff,
formal lines at equal distances apart.
Perhaps the best place from which to
study the plan {of planting and group
ing the trees and shrubs) IS from the
house site, the effect being judged from
the points on the house site where the
principal doors and windows and We

lsne belief is expressed by officials
of the Department of Agriculture
that the Southland is bound to take
that place in agricultural develop
nent she merits.
A spirit Of re-awakening is coming
over the Southern farmer. The agri-
cultural progress in the South has
been marked by a material prosperity
such as, perhaps, has never before
been enjoyed by the farming element
of that part Of the country. The g.
nancial condition Of the Southern
planter began to take an upward
tendency about 1897, since which
time the situation has steadily i'm
proved. The production of cotton
that great staple crop of the South
increased So per cent, from 1896 to
1908, and the value of the crop 133
per ct. The Southern farmer, long
deh.-ridden, has to n marked degree
been again placed on his feet as it
were by the increased prices he has
received from his cotton crop of late
years. As a natural consequence he
is devoting more time and attention
to building himself better home, to
the education of his children and. he
is in fact, deriving more Of the COM
forts Of life than ever before.
Work Of the Department.
The agricultural progress of the
South really dates back to few
years ago when The Agricultural De-
partment inaugurated an educational
campaign for a diversifcation in the
crops. The, application of practical
scientific methods to Southern agri-
culture in the opinion of Secretary
Wilson has done more to uplift
land than any other factor.
Officials Of the Department of Agri-
culture believe that the advent Of the
weevil was in reality a sort of bless
ing to the South. While it was dis
astrious in its effect upon that g.-at
staple crop, it at the same time made
the farmer realize that he must hot
devote all of his land to cotton. but
must depend to a considerable extent
upon other crops. The South was
quick to absorb the scientific knowl-
edge so freely given by the Federal
government and is rapidly recovering
from past mistakes. Secretary Will
son is a great believer in the doctrine
that the foundation of this nations
prosperity is an enlightened agricul-
ture
