Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Sept. 3O.-Whest was strong
a little higher right at the start, but
weakened later when commission hOus-
es sold freely. Support was Dor until
the last hour when there was some
covering by shorts and in addition to
commission house buying on the dip.
The early firmness was due to a sharp
advance at Liverpool on u~nfavorable
political developments in southeastern
Europe. Cash demand here moderate
and sales were only $4,000 bushels.
Barring any political disturbances we
do not expect bulges to hold as yet.
Corn-Market easier early following
the opening, but rallied near the close.
September was up sharply early and
there was quite a little scattered buy
ing by shorts. Cash prices 1-2c to l
1-2C off, sales 220, 900 bushels.
Oats-Weak early on heavy local
selling, commission houses taking the
bulk of the oats from locals and late

RALLY DAY SUNDAY

Yesterday was rally day at the diff

while there was no attempt at anything
extra in the way of exercises. efforts
were put forth to secure a larger att

schools of the city.
At all of the Sunday schools there
was an increased attendance. AT the
First M. r. the church was fairly
filled with teachers and pupils, and
nearly 100 were in ATTENDANCE, while
at the Broadway church there was a
good showing over the usual attend

Fergus Falls Journal: e. S. Fergu-
son returned Friday from a trip
through western North Dakota. He
went as far as Beach, N. D., which
is two and one-half miles from the
Montana line, and says that the grain
out there is immense this year. Beach
is a village of perhaps 1000 people,
but it is going to be the greatest pri-
mary market in the world this year
that is, it will receive more grain
direct from farmers than any other
place on earth. The estimated receipts
there are 100000 bushels. Mr.. Fergu-
son say that there are several other
stations in North Dakota where they
expect to take in 1000. 900 bushels dur
ing the fall. The rain has delayed
threshing and will reduce the grade of
the grain, but he THINKS that all, or
very nearly all Of it will be saved if
the weather is moderately dry during
the balance of the season.

The GREAT SOUTH
WORLD GRANARY

Among the Northern and Western
newspapers that are lending a helping
hand to the movement to turn the tide
of immigration towards the vacant
lands of the South Ia the Chicago
RecordHerald- Her is an editorial
on the subject from that paper:
In q letter to the Manufacturers
Record. r. C. Cool, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, Of Southport,
n. c., says that various estimates
place the uncultivatea land in the
South at from 800, 100000 to $50. 100000
acres. These lands, he says, would
support at least 100000 people. and
the lands now under cultivation. III
properly handled and worked to one
half capacity" would support another
100000 more than at present" In
Transforming the natural resources
and farm produce into finished pro-
ducts and transporting them to the
markets OF the world Mr.. Cool sees
support for another 3o.o0O.oo0. and he
announces: Seventy million people, or
20.OO0.000 families. have Jobs waiting
for them in the South"
That should sound encouraging to
those who view with depression each
winter the bread lines in our great
Northern cities and ask how the con-
gestion OF the poor in slume is to be
prevented. There Is room Tor all these
and many more In the South, according
to Mr.. Coors hgures-the United States
is not yet overpopulated. But how to
get the out OF works into the South or
any other thinly populated part OF the
country Is quite another question.
Many families Of single MN, now
merely existing in poverty In Northern
cities, might do we'll on small farms.
North or South, II properly started. but
the start requires some capital, pluck
and knowledge Of farming. Perhaps no
more practical or far-retcaing phi
ianthropy could be devised than an or
ganization for the purpose OF placing
first in colonies and then on small
farms families and persons showing q
reasonable promise of becoming self
supporting. The field s one for action

at Of the nation.

service In Southern mines or manu-
featuring plants. would be able to pay
for enough land TO make him On in
dependent small farmer, just as was
formerly done by the waRo.earner In
the Western States. The thrifty IN
dustrial worker In the Northern States
has no such opportunity. but II ne
migrates to the South he W, see the
opportunity and take advant ee of II.
As TO better Wages.
With the migration or development
OF more efficient class of wage earn
crs in the South money wages may
also be expected to advance. The
money wages In the Southern mines
and mills. as already pointed out. have
hitherto been but q pecuniary express
sion of the comparatively lower pro-
ductiveness OF the Southern workmen
From the standpoint of organized
action the wage-earner in the South
has also better opportunlt, than in
the North. In the basic Industries of
the Northern States tn trade unions
have been. within receRt years, weak
ened or disrupted. Fall River Is the
only textile city In New England
which mas any labor organization.
They have also disappeared from the
iron and steel plants and other in
dustrial establishments in the North.
Their Generalization has been
chiefly due to the competition of the
Southern and Eastern European. and
the constantly growing alien Influx
Will prevent effective organization In
the future. AS consequence, the
Southern States should offer q moro
attractive field of endeavor 10 the
radc-unionist.

as well MS hospitals and other welfare
institutions have also been established
and developed in Southern, Industrial

portunities equal to those in other sec
lions of the country. Amusemcnts or

found In industrial localities of other
parts of the United States are avail

Noteworthy Conclusions.
Tie important conclusion OF the
whole matter Is first. that compare
tive study OF Industrial conditions I'M
, der the auspices Of the national gov
eminent has shown tnat wages and
conditions of employment and the liv-
| Ing conditions OF wage-earners in the
South compare favorably with other
sections of the country and in some
respects are better; second. that the
opportunities offered by the South 70
thrifty and ambitious class OF in
dustrial workers are uncqualed by
any other part Of the United States.
With this official sanction back OF
II EN-, the southern people should see
to 1t that the proper class of wage
earners are attracted To the southern
States.
