possibilities of the cut-over lands are
developed. To try to solve the prob
lem, the best thought of the active
commercial interests of the city has
been devoted to the situation, but so
far no concerted action has been pos
sible. 1t is not intended to convey the
impression that substantial progress
in agriculture Is not being made in
south Mississippi; the fact is that the
cotton crop of this section this year
will be not less than 100000 bales,
while corn, oats, vegetables, wool and
hides will aggregate hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in value, but this
progress is so slow that it is not sat
isfactory to the progressive people OF
Hattiesburg and what is wanted Is
some plan which will make it possible
to divert thousands of those who are
leaving American homes to either be-
come the subjects of a king or a
southern republic. to this section. 1t
is also desired that thousands of thos
who are going to the irrigated dis
tricts of the Northwest shall be at
tracted to the comparatively cheap
lands of south Mississippi, whose
proximity to seaports and local con-

with the resources of the section and

Owners Afraid To Sell.

A few years ago these lands were
considered worthless by their owners ;
now they don't know what they are
worth and for that reason they are
afraid to SELL They have the spectres
before them of those who sold their
pine lands too cheap and now they
are unwilling to make price, for fear
they might not get what they are
worth This is new country. The
land requires the class Of people who
are not afraid to work and to get that
class special inducements must be Of
is without roads and bridges While
there are better school facilities than
ago, they are not adequate for TWEEN
tieth century demands. The cost of
clearing, fencing and providing a
house will bring the cost of the land
up to price that is not tempting ex-
cept to these who can appreciate that
by their own labor they can make
valuable that which is now worthless
and that by pioneering a few years
they can take cheap land and make
it, with their own labor, worth the
same price as lands in the older set
tied portions of the country.

resources that can be desired for the

With all this wealth that is going to
waste this territory is only about 10
per cent developed and the worst of
it is that those who could easily solve
the problem, seem to be either indif-
ferent or unaware of its seriousness.

This statement of facts reads we'll;
sounds as If there were no problems
except getting the people; what then
is the matter? The truth is that there
is plenty of land, but the owners for
one reason or another take but little
intereset in the immigration problem
and no plan has yet been devised that
could get them together. 1t is ad-
mitted by all those who give the mat
ter serious thought that the owners
of the land cannot afford to wait for
another crop of pine trees to grow and
the people of South Mississippi do not
want this even if the owners were so
inclined. 1t is also admitted that the
lands are not SO desirable after they
have been cut-over a few years for
they grow up in worthless scrub tim
Der that makes the cost of clearing
them greater and at the same time
robs the soil of valuable productive
properties which should be kept there.
Lands which were cut five years ago
are now covered with thick growth of
scrub oak which makes the home-seek-
err all the more discouraged yet there
are hundreds of thousands of acres of
such land owned by those who are do
ing absolutely nothing to develop
them.
