comes more prosperous. The per
capital consumption OF wheat, the
main product of the northern agri-
cultural states. does not increase
much as the people become more
prosperous The demand for cotton,
sugar, beef and legumes, increase
very much with the prosperity Of the
country. AS the people become bet
ter off they eat more vegetables and
less corn bread and bacon. Hence,
the great opportunity in the South
lies in diversified farming, breaking
up the large tracts into small farms.
the introduction of good stock, and
the planting of more legumes. sta
tistics show that with the finest
agricultural opportunities in the
country the South today does not
even feed itself.
Il am especially impressed with
the religious interest found in the
South. This shows that there is
good moral foundation upon which

1T Is debatable as to whether at
present the negro is an asset or a
liability Some good European inn
efficiently and speed him up would
help.
Besides stimulating the labor the
soil must also be stimulated by the
much more liberal use Of fertilizer.
Just now the fertilizer industry of
the South is very much depressed.
Fertilizer manufacturers need not
worry, the fertilizer business will
come back In good shape.

stable building OF the industry must
come IN the stabilization of the cop
per industry, its production costs and
its selling price.
1t must be remembered that the
mines OF the United States can pro-
duce more copper than can be con-
sumed Therefore every mine is. TO
a certain extent. in competition with
all other mines in the selling OF its
product If the industry of the sonth-
west is handicapped by high freight
rates, high taxes, high labor cost and
high commodities cost. its cost of
production is consequently higher
and the mines in the states that are
not so handicapped can run at 100
per cent production and sell their
copper while. !n the Southwest, only
the mines with low costs due to rich
ore, can be profitably operated.
The present and future Of the cop
per industry OF the Southwest is an
economic problem that must be care
fully and consistently worked out
without monkey wrenches in the ma
chinery.

New Construction. Expects to Spend $100, 100000
i'm Next Five fears

rate OF only LA accidents per one
hundred employees.
This record has been made by
the employees themselves, who
have co-operated most willingly
and intelligently with the man
agement in its effort to minimize
accidents. 1t has been said that
accidents will happen, but our ex-
perience shows that they may be
reduced by intelligent effort and
the willingness of all concerned
We have good reason to hope that
the number of accidents will be
still further reduced as time goes
on.
True Public Ownership.
/. The Bell System represents pub
lie ownership of utilities in its
best sense. There are more stock
holders in the Bell System than in
any other corporation. During
last year more than $4,000 shares
Of American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company stock were sold
to the public of Illinois. The
American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company has more than
235. 600 stockholders, of whom
$4,000 are telephone employees.
In addition, there are about 1OO,-
600 employees buying stock on
the partial payment plan.
During the year the whole
world was saddened by the death
of DR.. Alexander Graham Bell. in
ventor of the telephone, whose
death took place in Nova Scotia,
August 2. DR.. Bell was unique
among inventors in that he lived
to see the results of his invention
spread over the world. In 1876
there was one telephone - that
which the inventor and his young
assistant had made with their own
hands. At the end of 1921 there
were In the world more than 21.-
100000 telephones in service. of
which about sixty-four per cent
were in the United States.
Employees Assist.
During 1922 the Employees
Association suggested a routine
whereby every employee in any
department becomes a representa-
tive of the company with the pub
lie. Employees carry with them
small printed blank, pink in
color. When an employee, in con-
versation with a telephone user.
learns of any criticism or failure
of the service, he reports it on
this blank, which goes immediate
ly to the proper department and
steps are at once taken to remedy
the matter
