SOUTH HOLDS THE KEY.
Governor OF Tennessee Says Dixie
Doesn't Feel the Pinch SO Much.

New York, Jan. 26.-The South
holds the key to lower food prices,
according to Gov. Malcolm +. Patter-
son, Of Tennessee, who is in New
York for a few days. Here is what
Gov. Patterson had to say when ask
ed for his solution Of the problems
presented by the higher cost Of liv-
ing:
1--WE are not feeling the pinch near
ly as much in the South as YOU arc
up here. The principal reason is the
plentifulness and productiveness ~:
our land. There is no congestion Of
population in the South. What we
most need is an increase in popula-
ton.
If method could be devised
whereby millions Of the poor in the
crowded sections of the East could ie
scattered over the agricultural lands
of the South, the problem Of the sx-
cessive cost Of diving would soon lie
solved. Il
Il hope soon to see an organized
'p:oRement led by able and practical
mrr:to scatter 1.-The people back to the
SOIL Our vast domain is yet unde-
veioped. There is where the fortunes
Of the future are to be made. Any
mai. who comes to the South willing
to d, the work Of a man will find
profitable employment and an open
road to independence.
