South Learns Lesson.
AS the quarantined line mo
South, scrub and tick-infested TIE
are replaced. by thoroughbred brGel-
ing stock. The people have begun to
realize the great econQmic saving in
the production Of foodSTfffs at home;
in other words, raising a living at
home instead of buying it from out
sice markets. In fact the South is
undergoing an agricultural revulsion.
1t is the old lesson that experience
teaches better than example. 1t took
insect enemies and crop failures to
make the people of the North realize
the errors of one-crop system; it
has taken the boil weevil and a war
of nations to impress this fact upon
the people of the South-that a one
crop system will impoverish any coun-
try.
1t is onlv through diversifcation of
crops and the using of our energies
every day in the year that we can
make great, rich country and a
strong, prosperous people. It is diff
cult to chanpe old, established meth
DDS, but the epople of the South are
changing rapidly from the one-crop
system to that of diversified farming
the growing of legume crops to en-
rich the soil and give it life and hu-
mus, the production of live stock,
grains and other crops, as well as
cotton. The production of cotton in
the South will be increased under a
system of diversified farming.
Alive to Resources.
This great forward movement in
agricultural development is empha-
sized by activities of all interests in
the South. Many states have effect
ed permanent organizations to con-
duct educational campaigns for the
improvement Of agriculture and COM
merce, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Ala
bama, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Texas have been unusually active.
Mississippi realized the great need of
real constructive work along agricul-
tural lines more than year ago, and
"Grown in Mississippi" campaign,
covering the whole state, was the re-
| suit.
A "Grown in Mississippi" week was
set aside in 5000 schools of the state,
and for one week in November $780,
900 school children studied grown in
Mississippi products.
Louisiana was covered with "bil-
lion bushels" corn train; with thirty
agricultural lecturers, Oklahoma COW
cred seventeen counties in the eastern
portion of the state, reaching 28,-
900 farmers and business men; Ala
bama is now conducting statewide
crop diversifcation campaign, which
will be continued for thirty-five days,
reaching 100000 persons.
Holden Leads Campaign.
All of these activities have been
great cooperative movements direct
ed by P. G. Holden of the agricul-
tural extension department of the In
ternational Harvester Company.
These educational campaigns revealed
an impressive lesson.
The turning of the worm" in Ar
kansas brought the people of that
state face to face with a most as
tonishing economic problem.
Early in November, 1914, Governor
Hays of Arkansas, the Little Rock

SOUTH HAS PLAN
TO FEED HERSELF
Diversified Farming To Keep
Money at Home, Agri-
culturists Believe.
Educators Teach New Ways To Pros
perity in the Cotton-Crowing
States.
By Charles M. Carroll.

"The South will feed herself"
These signicant words, full of ac-
tion and determination, have been
chosen as motto by many of the
cotton-growing states which have
come to realize the words of warning
spoken by the far-seeing humanita-
rian and statesman, Henry W. Grady,
nearly forty years ago. Mr.. Grady
said:
"To mortgage our farms to New
York for money with which to buy
meat and bread from outside sources
is not good business.
"When every farmer in the South
eats bread from his own field, meat
from his own pasture, vegetables from
his own garden, fruit from his own
orchard and butter and milk from his
own dairy; caring for his crops in his
own wisdom and growing them in in
dependence; making cotton a surplus
crop and selling it in his chosen mar
ket in his own time, for cash and not
for a receipted mortgage-then the
South will begin to realize the fullness
of her opportunities"
Have Ready Market.
The South has many advantages as
an agricultural and live stock country.
There is a ready market with high
prices for beef, dairy and poultry
products and grain; land is cheap;
the climate is mild; the South has a
long growing season-two and some
times three crops can be produced on
the same soil in year; the South is
adapted to the growing of variety
of hay forage crops, root crops, corn,
oats and other grains. Beef can be
produced more cheaply than in the
northern states.
In the South the rainfall is abun-
dant, everywhere there are streams
and springs, which are of great ben
eft to the stockman.
The people of the South are awak-
ening to he opportunities offered by
these natural advantages.
Farmers, bankers and merchants
are engaged in organizing plans tc
meet the problems which are con-
fronting them. The cattle tick, the
enemy of diversified farming, is be.
ing successfully controlled by cam.

Capitalist Holds
Suburban Acreage

For several years an Omaha capitalist
has been quietly purchasing acre tracts
in the southwest part OF Omaha. until
now he has accumulated several hundred
&C. es adjoining the Field club on the
west and south. A few days ago the
city commission selected a boulevard
route that runs for more than a mile
through this land.
This investor is simply following in
the footsteps OF the Astors of New York
and other well known families In that
and other cities, whose great fortunes
have been made In suburban acreage ad-
Jacent to cities that are as sure to grow
as the sun is to rise.
There is no instance OF fortunes lost
by judlcious investments in acreage lying
in the direction of the growth of cities
as large as Omaha. Omaha cannot grow
east, but must expand to the west, and
acreage in that direction is very low in
price, and much OF il Is for sale at Iowa
farmland prices.
