 should any southern farmer want to wear crepe?
 Do you know what the average per acre for southern lands, as shown by late authentic reports to be? Well. if you do not I'll tell you.> The average for the southern states was $57. These are averages for tenants and owners alike. What will it grow into when the 'cropper" has been replaced by inteiii- gent and thrifty owners. Montgomery county. is moving in the right direction through Its chamber of commerce in rais- ing $l00,00O to bring in white settlers.
 Some of our Alabama farmers cast |wishful eyes on the middle west Here is something to think about. The average yield per acre in dollars and cents for Kansas was only $26. for Iowa only $ss. for Illinois only. $SS.

II am running across some whom have seen a great light every little while in my travels up and down the state.
 A friend of mine who held 3 county of- flee, but who sold his farm because tempted bxa flatterinG offer told me of an incident which happened to his brother It seems that he had sold out to some people from Illinois at what he thought was . lrecord-breaking price. After several years he got to be close friends with the newcomers. and one Sunday afternoon In . burnt of confi- derce. said: Fellow. now that know and like you. I feel like apologizing for holding you up on my land" They laughed, and one replied. well. neigh- Dor, We arc glad you broueht up- the sub feet. for somehow we have felt mean apout getting 1t 90 cheap" And there you are.
