THE SOUTH IS LAND
OF OPPORTUNITY
So Also Says the President of the
National Soil Fertility
League.
COME SOUTH, YOUNG MAN
Just a Little Talk About Good
Things to Come Down
Dixie.
by HOWARD H. GROSS,
President National Soil Fertility

TWO years ago. in an address before
tho National Grain Dealers Exchange
at its convention in Omaha, the writer
paraphrased Horace GreeIey's famous
saying OF go West. young man, and
grow up with the country" by
saying. GO South. young man, and
develop It's agriculture; there is the
land OF opportunity" That advice is
as good to-day as Greeley's was fifty
years ago. Nowhere else In our broad
land are there better opportunities
II. indeed. so good, for successful
farming as in the South. 1t takes less
capital to begin with, the land there
Is comparatively cheap and there Is
sure 10 be n larger percentage cf in
crease In values than 1t is possible to
have in the North. The best farm
$3.50 to 5000 per acre. while very good
land can be had in the South at prices
ranging from SIS to $40 per acre
The writer desires to emphasize In
this connection the splendid opening
In the South for stock raising. With
a full knowledge OF the cattle tick and
other handicaps, there are unsurpassed
opportunities there for raising domes-
tic animals, particularly hogs, cattle
and poultry. There are millions upon
millions Of acres of well watered land
capable of growing abundant and eX-
ccllent forage. such as alfalfa, clover,
soy beans, cowpeas, corn, vetch, etc.
The climate Is ideal, the stock can
be ranged out of doors practically the
whole year, AID the cost of shelter Is
nominal in comparison with that re-
quired by the rigors of the Northern
winter. For these reasons, stock rails
ing in the South should be particular
~ profitable.
The best None Too Good
II should bo remembered that razor
back hogs and scrub cattle are not
money makers The best is none too
good The late Senator Leland stan
ford once said to tho writer: "It
takes no more time and no more oats
to raise & horre worth $1,000 than 1t
does one worth 500. The only way
to make money in stock raising is to
raise good STICK 1t is generally
recognized by authorities that farm
ers. as a rule. feed too much grain
particularly corn. to both cattle ana
hogs We can build up bone and
muscle better on cheaper food, using
the grain In finishing the product
rather than growing 1t.
The feeding Of the crops on the
farm will help to maintain the fertil-
ity OF tho soil. in fact, It can In this
manner be easily built up. Let two
farmers start side BY side, under SINH
lar conditions, each with $50 acres OF
land. Let one practice grain farming
shipping his product to market, on,
soy, $50 acres OF tho farm, while the
other devotes one-third OF his farm

The Old Free State" Came Out

TWO VERY THRIFTY TOWNS
Happy and Prosperous Farmers
Making Good Enough at

Kenbridge. Lunenburg County, Va.

good old Virginia, that appear every
Sunday In the Industrial Section. tell
ing Of twentieth century progress all
over the Commonwealth, and some
times some Of them feel like pulling up
tents, to be cast where prosperity may
be greater. but when we pause to take
a survey of Lunenpurg. her towns and
natural resources, and look upon the
vast progress that we have made with
In less than a decade. we smile and
wonder why you do not come out In
Lunenburg and get some real live data
of tho most promising county in the
State
In confederation. let me give a few
facts and figures. Just six years ago
Lunenburg had It's first railroad train
TO run through her borders, and, OF
course, at that time was considered n
county moro or less backward and re-
mote. Since the first trainload OF peo-
pie and goods passed through, there
has been n steady advancement among
the farmers; clearing new lands, i'm
proving the old lands, building large
barns and better houses growing larger
crops. sowing more legumes and i'm
proving their farms in every way pos
sible Fine crops grow now where a
few years ago was standing hedges
net wire fencing where stood old rail
fencing. lowlands where water stood
growing fine corn. 1t did not take the
farmers a great while to see that the
quickest and the cheapest way to i'm
prove their lands was to SOW peas and
clover. and here I may say. this crop
alone has been the salvation OF many
OF the farms.
Many Newcomers.
To-day there are more farmers in
the county than ever before Home
seekers from the West and North are
settling In Lunenburg very fast, large
farms are being cut into small ones,
and better and more crops are grown,
moro stuff per acre than ever before
1t is amazing to see the many new farm
buildings that have been erected with
in tho past five years. Where n few
years ago stood millions of feet OF tim

other crops. dare say that about so per
cent. of the county Is now standing In
timber, but at the rate Mt which the
| timber is now being moved, another de-
cade will find rs per cent in cultivation.
1t liz true that only few years back
the millions OF feet of timber was
worth nothing. but to-day 1t Ia ono Of
Lunenburg's most valuable resources
1t has been the means OF distributing
thousands Of dollars throughout the
county. placing many a farmer in n
position where he could release the
burden of mortgage and start life
anew, and finance his farm to that
state where he is no longer dependent
upon tho merchant to credit him for
twelve months. There may be found
In Lunenburg some Of the largest to-
bacco growers of the State. There
