TIDE SETS TO SOUTH.
Immigrants Are Fast Flocking to
Dixie Land.

The day of immigration into the
South has arrived and with 1t has be-
gun an exodus of Americans who
have tried Canada and the Northern
States and now have quit that local
ity for more profitable farming in
Dixie land. The tide is carrying
with It. colonists from Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska and the West and North
west. and the. influx is expected to
reach it's height about next October.
A recent report to the land and
industrial department of the South
ern railway shows that since last
May about $4,000 acres of land in
Southern Alabama had either been
purchased or was about to be obtain
ed fer Northwestern firms and cor
porations for locating settlers. Large
tracts have also been taken in Geor-
gia and Northern Florida since tAe
first Of the present year.
Another movement is that Of a
colony of Slovaks from Western
Pennsylvania to Southern Alabama.
In Northeast Georgia there has been
started the nucleus of a colony for
Canada. Individual farmers from
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are buying
improved as well as wild lands in
Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee,
and Northern Alabama. German and
Mennonite settlers are also travel
ing to the South lands in goodly
numbers.

THE CORN CROP
BIG INCl.EAsE IN THE ARCEAGE
IN THE SOUTH.

Kept ut Home.
With 26,277,0O0 arces corn plant
ed this year, being an increse OF L.
$4,000 over 1909 and 2,776,000
, acres over 1908, the farmers OF Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Carroll
ma, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama and Mississippi are furnish
. ing very substantial proof of the
: fact that the South is constantly de-
voting more attention to raising Its
own food supplies. These figures
are from the bureau OF statistics OF
the United States department Of ag-
! riculture.
The acreage in corn for the pres
ent year Is shown as follows: Virgin
ia 2,142,000; North Carolina, 3,-
O72,OOO; South Carolina, 2,42S,OO0;
Georgia, 4,532,OO0; Kentucky, 81
$4,000, Tennessee, 2,71S,900; Ala
bama, 3,524,0OO; Mississippi, $685.
600; Total, 26,277,O00.
The total acreage for 1903 was
24,742,OOO and in 1908 it was 23,-
$4,000.
The figures indicate that each
State showed an increase over 1908
in 1903 and an increase over 1908
in 1910. The condition of this years
crop as reported by the department
shows the States of the South lead
in the country Mississippi being
first, Alabama second and Georgia
third.
This great increase in the acreage
devoted to corn is considered one on
the most hopeful signs in the South
today. In a letter TO the directors
of the Southern Railway company,
! President Finley called particular at
tention to these figures and said:
The increase in the acreage OF
corn, accompanied, as it is, by a
quite general adoption of improved
cultural methods, is one Of the Nest
| encouraging features Of Southern
agricultural progress. 1t is one OF
the results of a general movement
throughout the South in the direction
of diversified agriculture-a move
ment which we are endeav9ring to
encourage and assist as far as we
can properly do so.
| AS the farmers Of the South in
crease their yield Of corn, they will
save enormous sums which they have
been spending in the West for food
products and will consequently them.
selves realize more from cotton and
other market crops. Economic au-
thorities agree in declaring the
American corn crop the basis OF the
country's prosperity since in such a
large measure the production oi
other crops as well as the pork sup
ply depends upon it and greater
yield of corn in the South conse-
quently means greater share OF
prosperity for this section.

Land in Italy.

Land in Italy.
AS result Of war on mosqui-
toes in certain party of Italy, a
healthful, cheerful looking race ana
fat, rosy children have succeeded a
population, which a few years ago
consisted of few miserable peas
ants, their skins yellow as saffron
and their bodies bitten and suffering.
This is the report made to the De-
partment of agriculture by Dr.. l.. R.
Howard, chief of the bureau of en-
tomology, who has returned from a
recent visit to the Italian Campagna.
Most CT the visitors recollected
this region as vast tract of marsh
land, where mosquitoes and malaria
would breed. The country having
been drained by the government, now
is being extensively farmed and is
beginning 10 support what eventual
ly will be a large population.
The Italian government has used
the German method of systematic
dosing with quinine. 1t is known as
official quinine and as the govern
ment has a monopoly on the tobac-
CO trade, the cigarette boxes are
made to carry printed quinine ad-
vertisement The drug is sold cheap
ly and to the charitable institutions,
the soldiers and other individuals
too poor to pay for it, the medicine
is given free.
