can take place, and we are taking this
mean sof contributing our share to-
wards the development of the coun-
| ties through which these lines operate.
1t IS, on course selfish move on
our part because we want to secure
the revenue from the traffic that will
naturally come from well-dcveloped
agricultural territory. At the same
time it makes the farmers more pros
perous, and to the extent that it brings
prosperity to the farmer to that ox-
tent will these lines prosper"
Under the proposed rules carload
shipments of agricultural limestone
must be consigned to county demon
Stratlon agents having jurisdiction in
the counties served by or adjacent to
these lines, and lawful freight charges
assessed as per tariffs on file with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
or The State Railroad Commissions Of
the States Of Alabama Mississippi and
Tennessee. The plan is to have freight
charges paid by county demonstration
agents who will fill out certificates
showing amount of agricultural lime
stone received, freight charges paid,
that the material did not pass through
the hands of any broker or. middle
man and that no commission or bonus
was IN any way paid thereon. When a
certificate is filed with the railroad
company the mes represented will re-
fund the country demonstration agent
the proportion Of the freight revenue
Of thcsc lines from their Injunction
with connecting lines.

AS stated by one of our leading agri
cultural authorities. "Our prosperity
depends upon the producing power of
soils. To increase this power we must
have lcgumcs to supply the necessary
organic matter, and to grow lcpumes
1t IS necessary to use lime in most
cases."
Tn" !>"Ha::ci''g rowcr of soils has
been increased in this way in many
sections of the South and elsewhere.
Directors of agricultural experiment
itatlons, county agents and others are
urging farmers to profit by such ex-
amples. Cooperation fly railroads in
all sections in the way proposed by the
Gulf, Mobile and Northern will hasten
the day when all c'it-ovcr, poor and
waste lands of the South will be-
come sources of greater wealth than
the minerals which are packed away
in her mountains and hills.
Our Greatest Problem.
This is the most important work
before the country. Food production is
our greatest problem. Our lands must
be made to produce more, and more
lands used for general farming and
stock raising. The Manufacturers
Record of May 6 has on it's front page
an editorial on this subject in which
1t states that, "Thc questions of the
league of nations, of soldiers bounty
OF Democratic or Republican suprc
macy are mere soap bubbles blown by
childre;i as compared with the mighty
rood supply question. Heavy pay to
industrial&workers and short hours of
labor are like great magnets drawing
men and women from the farms to the
cities, decreasing the number of farm
producers and increasing the number
OF food consumers.
Economic forces will eventually
push foodstuffs so high that the pen
dulum must swing back and force peo-
pie from the cities to the farms to
avoid starvation, but care the swing
turns that way food scarcity and the
misinformation about it may, unless
we are wise, wreck our government
and our civilization.
"Fhis is the nations supreme prob
lem. To its solution the people must
address themselves with a full reali-
zation Of it's import"
The solution will be found in we'll

much in commendaton of this progress
! sive move. 1t is one in which Other
railroads could join with profit tc
themselves and to the whole Southern
country. The removal of timber from
| vast areas takes from the South ono
OF its greatest natural resources, and
abandonment of these areas is the final
| step in desert building. To properly
conserve and to utilize with profit the
lands from which timber is removed
is not only good business but duty
to the present generation and to DOS
terity devolvin gupon all who are in
trrcstcd IN such Property. TO convert
these lands into pastures that will sun
port great herds Of purcbred cattle, or
into farms that vii porducc cotton,
tobacco, food and forage crops is con-
structivc work of the highest order.
But railroad lines that run through
cut-oVcr lands are not the only roads
that could profit by such an arrange
mcnt as the one proposed. We hafc
in the South worn~out, lcachcd-out
farm lands that, in the aggregate,
probably exceed in area all of the cut
ofcr sections, and it has been demon
stratcd to the satisfaction to all OK
pcrimcnters and obscrfcrs that the use
Of lime and lcgumcs will bring these
lands up to state of fertility which
will insure profitable livestock rails
ing and general farming. Such de-
velopment means not only larger ship
mcnts of livestock and the products
Of the soil, but growing business in
tcrcsts of communities in which they
are located that will contribute more
and more to the business of railroads.
1t has long been the practice of
leading railroad companies to encour
age immigration to sections through
which they operate, and the building
Of mills, factories and other industries
along their, lines, but the movement
here described is one Of LAYING a
solid foundation for permanent agri-
cultural, industrial and commercial
progress and prosperity.
