Delta Real Reason.

A school child knows most Of the rea-
sons for good highways in these days
and times, but there is one big reason
not quite so common and so prominent
in other parts of the country as locally,
why Memphis is interested in he de-
velopment of better highways.
Memphis draws a very great proper
ton Of her trade and business from
the West and South, The delta OF
Arkansas and Mississippi does an enor-
nous business here.
It is estimated that there are three
and a half million acres under cultiva-
ton in the delta region. There are
sixteen million acres that can be put
into cultivation. All the great alluvial
region has the same Kin Of soil, the
same climate and the same opportuni-
ties for becoming wealth-producing.
Therefore If 100 per cent development
and utilization can be realized instead
Of 80 per cent as at present, Memphis
will profit in added business in an
enormous way.
The building of fine highways to open
up an this undeveloped region is one
of the surest and quickest ways OF
getting it settled and making 1t pro-
duce. It is one of the big reasons why
Memphis takes an active part and lends
every possible help to any road i'm
