New Orleans paper:
From tho Picnyune.
What the South needs above all ie
an industrious and reliable population
TO till its rich lands and make them
productive.
The descrtion Of the farming regions
by great bodies or the people who
drift to the cities and swarm there in
hideousiy unsanitary and vice-creating
the Northern States and is the chief
cause OF the great increase IN the cost
Of food products. If population de-
serts the agricultural districts at the
rate shown by the census, of 80 per
cent. in tho past decade, IL Is plain
that there is no increase In food pro-
duc,ion TO meet tho demands of con-
stantly increasing consumption.
The lure OF the cities is constantly
operating 10 draw people away from
tho Northern farms to the great ag-
gregations OF population. while tho
greatest numbers OF the foreign iUImf
grants arriving at some popular sea
port remain there, or only leave to SO
10 some other city.
But country life in the South is not
as desolatc as it Is In the North. The
sun shines more. the ground is not
covered with snow, the streams OF
water are not frozen for weeks at a
time, and there are very few days in
the Gulf States when outdoor work
ca mot be carried on in comfort
But more than this. our soil will
produce everything required for food
and what Is wanted Is labor to work
IL. There never was such an oppor-
Iun,ty offered anywhere as here for
small farming. The era of big planta
tons must come to an end because OF
n nf
inhorers, and the day of small farms
is being ushcred in. when every ctti-
zen OF energy and industry will own
and work his little farm. Then farm,
homes. instead OF being miles apart,
will stand close together, SO that the
families Will live In constant associa
ton, like the inhabitants of village.
Look ut France, for Instance.
That is the way II Is In France
where thcrc arc vast numbers of small
