RAILROADS OF
THE SOUTH

Atlanta, Ca, oct. 15.-In
view of the general interest
through the South in the Ques-
ton of conservation, and
especially on account Of the
assembling of the Southern
Conservation Congress in this
city today, the opinion Of
President w. W. Finley, Of the
Southern Railway Company, on
this subject as expressed i'm an
address on "The Interest OF the
Railways Of the South in Con

Second National Conservation
Congress held in ST. Paul

interest.
Lay down the broad principle
that the interest Of the railway +
of the South and those of the
people of the South in conserva
tion are Identical, Mr.. Finley
defined the type Of conservation
most needed in the South as
mot the narrow idea Of the
withdrawal from the present
use Of some part OF these re-
sources, but the wise use Of
these resources. - Taking soil
conservation as one of the most
vital questions before the
Southern people today, MIR.
Finley gave figures from ex
periments conducted by the
American and foreign govern
ments. showing that where
proper methods are used pro-
ductively of soil increases with
its use, and in this connection
Mr.. Finley urged more atten-
tion on the part OF the people OF
the South TO crop rOta ton.

stock raising as the surest
means TO accomplish this much
desired result
Recognizing the forest and
stream conservation are inter
dependent. Mr.. Finley said that

that comprehensive policy of
waterway development may be
adopted by Congress. The work
is but begun looking TO the
development Of our rivers, har-
bors and canals and TO stop now

Der of aspirants have been

= AS respects timber and all

ley, 81 am convinced that the
type OF conservation that should
be adopted in the South is not
the withdrawal of these re-
sources from use, but the
elimination of waste as far as
possible, and their wise use as
the basis of a diversified indus
trial development that will carry
them through all the processes

them for the final consumer.
