The South and Latin America.

The meeting at New Orleans this week of the
Foreign National Trade Council will serve to en-
phasize the South distinctive opportunities in COM
merce with Latin America. The convention will be
attended by representatives of important mapUfac-
turing interests throughout the country and also
by spokesman for the federal Department of Com
merce who will give the delegates the benefit of all
the information which the Government, through
extensive inquiry, has obtained. In this way our
exporters will learn definitely what they can do
and what they must do in order to develop the OPP
portunities awaiting them.
Because of its comparative nearnesss to Latin
America the South should gain royal share of that
regions trade No other part of the United States
is so advantageously situated as regards the Pan
anna Canal or the Gulf and Atlantic routes Fur
thermore the South is destined to industrial expan-
sion beside which the achievements of the last few
decades, impressive though they are, will seem a
mere beginning With improved methods of farm
ing and manufacturing and with increased capital
for developing its resources, this section will have
urgent need of foreign outlet for its products.
Latin America offers the most accessible and prom
Using markets.
The South should prepare now to play its due
part in the closer relationships which are growing
up between the two Americas. In a commercial
sense alone, Pan-Americanism means a vast deal
to the South. The New Orleans convention is keyed
to big ideas and doubtless will be of far-reaching
value to all who attend it.

The reason this is that the sky looks winch

These dropets in the atmosphere act the sunlight

LAS compared with last year, Virginia,
North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama and Mississippi all show increased
areas sown to wheat. In South Carolina the
area is the same as last year. These States
as a whole show an aggregate increase
last year of one hundred and forty-one thou
sand acres, or nearly three per cent; while
the States outside the South show a net de-
crease of four million, nine hundred and
thousand acres, or more than thirteen per
cent
In this summary of the Governments report
on the acreage of winter wheat, President Harri-
son. of the Southern Railway, finds encouragement
for the business we'll the farming interests of
the South The figures show, as he says, "a con-
tinuing tendency to diversified agriculture" and
that means a great deal to the sections independ-
ence and prosperity.
Conditions in the autumn of 1914 and the
spring of the following year such virtually
to compel Southern farmers to plant foodstuffs.
The depression of the cotton market gave dire
warning of how dangerous 1t would be to produce
another big crop of cotton. In the of 1915,
however, the market had improved to such ex-
tent that there were apprehensons that the whole
some lessons of the past would be forgotten. But
the fact that the South has increased instead of
diminishing it's wheat acreage is a cheering sign
to the contrary. 1t is to be hoped that the ten
dency thus revealed will continue and will be ex-
tended to many other food crops.

The Nep Air Raids.

The latest German air raid England is not
able for the circumstance that the attack was
made by an aeroplane instead of Zeppelin. Is
this the forerunner of newly designed campaign
of 'frightfulness against the British capital?
For three months more London has been free
from Zeppelin incursions CO any consequence. The
citys defensive air feet, it seemed, proving eff
fectual. Germany insisted, however, that the end
was not yet Thus the Hamburg Fremdenblatt de-
clared:
We may assure the hundreds of thousands
of Germans whose only consolation In their
present depressing lives is the hope of punish
ing England that destructive engines of
trely new and immensely powerful type have
been evolved for the of airships, and
that as soon as the meteorological and other
conditions permit these will do their work
in London. The destruction of the old cities
of Sodom and Gomorrah will, hope, be re-
peated in these latter days, and the outraged
German people will have their righteous thirst
for vengeance the stronghold of lies, trea-
son and foul assassination quenched to safety.
The superiority of It's air craft here limited at is
supposed to consist in the guns it carries. 1t
remains to be whether the type will be
any more effective. in a military sense, than the
Zeppelins.

which was the operate nourshment of our
