souTH TO FURNISH FOOD AND

That the entire country. and partlca
larly the Southern states. will soon
enter upon period OF unprecedented
prosperity is the belief OF Judge J. C,
pugh, OF Shreveport. In q talk to the
farmers at the Winter Short Course OF
l., 8. Z, he stated that the prices OF
food and clothing will soar after the
European war closed. and that the
farmers Of the southern states will be
called on to supply large portion OF
these necessities. In his opinion, the
time will come. and that not many
years distant. when the South will have
TO raise large part OF the beef con.
sumea by the entire world. while our
monopoly OF cotton will always insure
a high price for thai commodity.
