Developing the Wet Lands.

Another type of wet lands can best |
be illustrated by referring to the Ev-
erglades of Florida, which do not rep
resent erosion at all, but are the re-
suit of accumulated vegetable mould
in an enclosed basin. In addition,
therefore, to the general subjugation
of high lying Southern lands to agri-
tulture, the agricultural development
of the South and its real estate &C.
tivities, will, in the near future, take
into consideration the wet lands and
their latent riches.
Another point to consider in South
ern real estate development is that
the activities of the various State
Departments of Agriculture, and many
railroads of the South, are directed
toward more intensive use of the
land under cultivation. The effect
win be to greatly weaken the planta-
ton system and it's tendency to To-
cate land owners in cities. A new
rural community life will take it's
place; for intensive agriculture means
small areas handled wisely and well,
bringing agriculturists into closer
touch with the land, with one another
| in rural villages, and with the advan-
| tage of better schools and a truer so
oial life.
This trend of the South toward a
| better use of the land will mean the
throwing, of more land on the market,
and thus comes into sight the impulse
toward advertising. The removal of
the forest cover over large portions
of the coastal plain has also produced
an advertising tendency, for the own
ers of these cuttover lands have taken
from them the profit that rested in
timber, and are now willing to sell in
large and small areas for individual
and colonization purposes. To meet
this condition there are now at vari-
Gus large centres, but particularly
Chicago, corporations that intelligent.

lands to settlers. The labor of these
organizations, which may correctly be
called foreign. must lead to the adj
vertising of Southern lands by South.
eIn real estate men themselves, for
it has become evident that if move
Of population toward the South is to
be permanently valuable the prospec-
tive settler must. at the very outset
come into correspondence with local
real estate men and organizations
who prefer that the settler shall know
in advance, nothing but the truth
about the land he wishes to buy.
Buying sight unseen" through spe.
cious circulars and attractive pictures
that may or may not be related to the
part of land he is buying means a
rude awakening when a man finds his
land not to be as represented.

men of the community to work to-
gether; we urge the sole real estate
man in small place to come into
touch with other real estate men scat
tered all over the South SO that their
small investments may be swept into
great advertising fund to create
general inquiry, and thus each of them
gradually realize, through handling
these inquiries. the value of National
advertising, and become encouraged to
undertake such advertising of their
own when funds permit.

Those who even specifically con-
slider conditions in the South must
reach the conclusion that many mil
lions of dollars will be made in South
ern real estate in the next few years.
To look deeper makes the conclusion
irrefutable.
The vast expenditures of the Ma
tional Government in providing irri-
cation for the arid lands of the West
win affect, according to statements of
the Reclamation Service, only 8 per
cent of the great stretch of country
whose forbidding aridity hitherto
stood in the way of successful agri-
culture. On the other hand, the great
er proportion of the million square
miles included in the South will be
agriculturally profitable when once
the tide of development sets that
way; for not only is there the best
average and distributed rainfall of the
whole country, but at many points
this can be aided by tapping the vast
subterranean water resources of the
South.
Two typical illustrations can be
found: In such sub-irrigation wori

] ne SoutnS agricultural advantages
We believe this: That a greater
movement of population than has ev-
er so far tsken place in the develop
ment of the United States is now due,
and that movement will be south
ward for when once the agricultural
advantages of the South are fully I'M
derstood throughout the Nation, and
the great. commercial possibilities in
addition, there will be a ger eral
movement of people to take advan-
tage of all these things. The unused
acres of the South can welcome and
sustain many more millions than are
yet there.
When, in addition to the natural
advantages of the South, there dawns
upon the mind of the world the infiu-
ences toward personal success which
lie in the southwark pull of the Pana-
ma Canal on the commerce of the world;
which also lie in the natural pull of
the Mississippi Valley towards Gulf
ports, the movement to the West, and
the rush of the '49ers will fade into
insignificance beside the movement
toward perpetual homes in the South.
Hence it is that National advertising
of Southern agricultural lands can be
depended upon to show its influence
very vigorously in the near future
for the opening of the Panama Canal
is only six years away. The south
ward pull of commerce is here al
ready.
, The South is, in addition to the in
huence of it's natural advantages
prompted toward such activities by
the vigorous efforts that the Canadian
, Government has made within the
D United States to people its own north
. west. In that sense the South is be
ing provoked to good works; for
, has been led to realize that owing t
: the rapid growth of the United State
in population, there is still a grea
