GREAT CROP RAISED
in SOUTH IN 1919
DIXIE FARMERS ARE ADHERlNG
TO 'rHE DtVERSiFICATlON
PLAN.


The value Of the crop raised in the
south in 1919 was 5000. 900 900. as
against $8.768 000,00 produced from
the other sections of the United States
making the total value of the cro
production in the United States $l5
7SS 100000.
This data is compiled Ly The Man
ufacturers' Record and shows that the
south produced a fraction over Al per
cent of the entire crop Of the United
States during 1919.
One Of the most interesting feature
OF the figures mCnfpiled is the dem"n
stration of a determination on the
part of the southern farmer to adhere
to the diversifcatiOn plan. This data
goes on to show that the south's in
crease in the production of grain
corn, wheat and oatS--was 335 500, ,60G
bushels, which more than cvercame
the decrease of 23G.OOO,00O bushels in
other sections.
The estimate of the live stock bus
mess from the south is $4,000, ,00G
which shows that the development of
the industry is being energetically
pursued.
The total crop and live stock produa
ton of the south is estimated to be
$4,000 600 ,00O-which is $500 100000
more than the total value of all crops
produced in the United States.
