PROGRESSIvENESS IN SOUTH
Or. Maurice F. Eean, Minister to
Denmark, Relate His Views Of the
Farmers of Dixie.

A new solution for the high cost Of
living problem has been found by DR..
Maurice Francis Egan, American min
lister to Denmark, after a months
journey through the south. Mr. Egan
was invited to make the trip by the
Southern Commercial Congress, in
order to lecture on farming in Dixie"
Mr., Egan's opinion of the farmer
Of the states he visited is not very
fiattering but be declares that they
are rapidly advancing, and in the
course Of time will be on par, in
so far as efficient conservation Of
crops is concerned, with the ruralites
Of Denmark" To a newspaper repre-
sentative Mr., Egan said:
"The Danish farmers are an intelli-
gent class of persons and devote all
their time to close study Of their soil
and how to improve its income. Theyr
are all members Of the Cooperative
Society, which, to my mind, is the
solution OF the high cost of living
problem, Such a society does away
absolutely with the middleman, and
in addition to reducing the price Of
the commodity to the consumer yields
a larger profit to the producer, 80
Denmark is purely an agricultupASe
country There are no industries and
no minerals, therefore, the people
must turn their attention to earn their
living by agricultural pursuits. They
have their choice between conserving
their soil and emigrating, and they
have chosen the former with all the
patriotism worthy Of good Danes. ~
IAN opinion | formed on my trip
may surprise the majority OF your
readers, but am convinced that 1t Is
fact. believe that the farming
country of the southern states Is more
adapted to the production of butter,
eggs and bacon than It is for the rails
Ing Of cotton and tobacco,
Denmark farmers get every inch
Of fertility out Of their soil while
American farmers do not, One Mis-
sisslppl farmer told me that he had
exhausted three farms, and would

now tilling is exhausted. DepTA4ka
farmers are educated and do not 'eSf
haust' their soil. They believe in,

and explains the workings of the

are becoming more open.mnded.
They are ever ready to receive sug.
gestlons which will enable them to

pathetic to note that these men, who
live on tho most beautiful and fertile
