THE CALL OF THE SOUTH
SAYS "COAIE BACK HOME" To
IT'S MANY ABSENT SONS.
Homes for Ten Million People

Remarkable Movement to Induce
Former Residents of Dixie to Re-
turn to Their Native Land. Of
fers UnbOunded Opportunities.
ST. LOUIS.-Back to the sunny
south! This is the slogan of thous-
ands of business and professional
men in Dixie, who have joined in a
movement to induce former resi-
dents of Tennessee, North and South
Carolina, Mississippi and other
states in the southern portion of the
union to return to their former
homes. tits an appeal especially to
residents Of the west and northwest
to men who left the southland a
dozen or more years ago because of
love for adventure and novelty, pas
sion for taking chances in a new
country or perhaps because of dis
satisfaction with their old surround
ings.
1t is to lure these people back to
their former home, to show them
how much the south has improved
in the last Is or 20 years and to dis
close what are believed to be almost
unbounded opportunities for sue
cessful agricultural and commercial
endeavor in that region that the
reckoning hand has been outstretch-
ed and the home" call sounded.
Come Back Home.
At a conference held recently at
NJ n L, IL,
sented railroads traversing $4,000
miles Of the Territory east of the
Mississippi and south of the Ohio
and Potomac rivers, it was decided
to broaden the original scope of the
plan and to secure greater co-opera-
ton on the part of the general pub
lie in carrying out the scheme to a
successful conclusion. Another con-
ference will be held at Chattanooga,
Tenn, at which will be present,
among others, delegates appointed
by governors of various southern
states.
Finely printed cards, conveying
an invitation to come back home"
have been sent within the last few
days to thousands of former south
erners now living in the west and
northwest. There has accompanied
each card practical illustration of
what can be done on cheap south
ern land and a statement of the
many other advantages now offered
in the part of the country.
Homes for Millions.
During the past ten years fully
100000 persons have gone from
the states east of the Mississippi and
south of the Ohio and Potomac riv-
ers, and the result is shown in a
gain of population of over II per
cent in the trans-Rocky mountain
states as against only about 10 per
cent in the territory from which this
great exodus took place. This vast
region has an area of 411,725 square
miles, or 253, $4,000 acres of land
on which the total population is 49,
554 $40, an average of 172 acres
for each inhabitant. Compared with
Ohio, which has only ga acres for
each person, the south would re-
quire an increase Of 68,441,29O in
population to make the density
| equal to that of Ohio. More than
100000 farms of 140 acres can
be obtained in the states Of Virginia.
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Missis-
sipi, Tennessee and Kentucky which
can be made to yield a comfortable
| living for 100000 people.
