RESOURCES OF SOUTHEAST
GIVEN WIDE PUBLICITY
ExhibIts at FaIrs, Advertisements lr
Newspapers, and Circulation Of
Attractive Literature All
Boost the Southern
Territory.

The Southern Railway has long do.
voted much attention to fair and OK
position exhibits, showing the re-
sources and products Of the South
eastern States. This years exhibit
work is almost entirely within its own
territory At state and other large
fairs and exposition It's Is making
comprehensive exhibits, largely agri-
cultural. which are mostly Of an edu-
cational character, and which show
what the people OF the Southeast and
Of special communities may do. A
iarge exhibit will bo mado in Novem-
Der at New York City.
In the line Of publicity for calling
attention to tho opportunities OF tho
Southeast, liberal amounts arc appro-
prated. The Southern Field, giving
information about all the Systems
territory, is widely and regularly cir
culated. Booklets descriptive Of tho
different states, publications relating
to the various lines Of farming, pam
phlets giving general or special in
formation or lists Of lands or business
opportunities are published for the
benefit Of homeseekers and manufac-
turers.
In advertising opportunities in the
Southeast agricultural. trade and gen
eral publications in the North are
used and special advertising is done
in Europe.

sTHNS USED IN HOP FIELDS.
Mounted Upon These, n Man Can Do
Large Amount Of Work.

In the English hop fields thousands
of laborers are employed IN making
the crop. Stringing the hop poles for
the vines to climb upon Is one OF the
most interesting features of the work,
and makes the fields look like giant
spiders webs. The strings are at the
top Of the poles some / 5 feet from
the ground, and In the past have
generally been put on by men stand
ing on the top OF large steps and con-
siderable time was used up in moving
the platform from place to place. To
avoid this trouble and to save time
the English farmers in Kent put their
men on stills, which have rests and
overshoes, into which the feet can be
securely strapped IL feet from the
ground. Mounted upon these stills a
man can do six times the work done
by the ordinary method.
The principal use OF hops Is in
making beer. For a thousand years
or more hops have been added to
beer, in former times to prevent its
spelling and to give it it's character
istic flavor. Germany and England
had hop gardens in the eighth GEN.
tury and the growing Of hops has in
creased with the growth Of the brew
ing industry.
In the United States the culture Of
hops was introduced in 1925 in New
Netherlands and was some years later
begun IN Virginia. At first Massa-
chusetts, Vermont and Maine were
the chief hop States, but the indus
try has been slowly moving westward
although New York has for many
years maintained its lead in produc-
ton.

Perhaps the boil weevil Is n bless
Ing in disguise. The South has been
too prone to put all its eggs in the
one basket Of cotton. The boil wee
vii has led to diversification of in
dustry and to the raising of more
profitable crops. At the Chicago
Land Show Louisiana will present ev-
idence that cotton growers who have
gone into other crops are making 50
where they made only 81 from cot
ton. They are raising big crops OF
corn, potatoes and onions, and they
are going in for stock raising and
dairying. The boil weevil has done
terrible destruction in Louisiana. 1t
has redu d the cotton crop from t.
100000 Gales in five years to 26O, 900
bales last year. But the farmers are
making more money than ever.
