Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, and so ii

The hegira from the South 10 the
West was born of conditions which no
longer exist, which. in fact. are In
rapid process of reversal. In the form
cr time the acreage of this section
was devoted in such proportions TO the
growth OF cotton and tobacco that the
planters became. to n great extent
dependent on the West for their sup
plies of corn and bacon. 1t was on the
south that the Western farmer grew
rich, despite the disadvantages of eli
mate under which he labored. and
Southern money paid out in millions
for hog and hominy has been the
foundation on which the wealth of the
West was builded. This situation has
so far changed that the South is pro-
ducing food cereals, provendcr aud

There is no part of this broad con-
nncnt where so great returns await
intelligent industry on the part OF till
lcrs of the ground. There is nowhere
that such n variety OF crops can be
sowed with certainty N an abundant
yield. There is nowhere else that so
much open weather prevails and where
farm work may go on uninterrupted
for so many months in the year. The
one time reasons for an exodus have
ceased to be, and the reasons for an
Inflow from other and less fruitful
and kindly regions ia the South are
becoming more widely known and more
convincing every years The movement
should now be from the West to the
South. and II was one of the leading
men of that once agriculture Mecca
