wcevil will win. What the south
needs is greater efficiency. In other
words, the agricultural experts and
the better class of growers are able
to deal with the weevil, but they
cannot handle the job alone. They
cannot make up for the laziness and
stupidity of the shiftless.
"Therc are several optimistic fac
tors in the outlook. O. Excellent
work in research and education is
being accomplished by the United
States Department of Agriculture
experts, supported by the farm jour
nails and local papers. (2) There
is tendency toward cooperation,
/ and one of the y-products of this
movement should be to raise the
general level of intelligence and en-
ergy among the growers. (2)The
continued development of the south
ern textile industry viii create an
influential class who are directly in
tefested in improved methods of
growing. (4) The further progress
of diversified farming and animal
husbandry will tend to shift cotton
growing into stronger hands. -
South Has Future
"Mr. Babson is also very enthusi-
| astic as to the commercial future of
the south. Norfolk, Wilmington,
Charleston, Savannah, Brunswick,
| jacksonville, Tampa, Pensacola, and
! Others have, in his opinion, an oppor-
tunity almost equa,iing that OF. New
Orleans, if the men of these cities
| would only show the faith and ener
gy of the peop-e o. New Orleans.
"Those who have confidence in
the future o. Kew Orleans con
! tinues the statistician, Gas a field
for business expansion viii be inter.
| estcd in the statistics of commerce
for the fiscal year, 1922. According
to figures compiled by the shipping
board, New Orleans ranks second
| only to New York, both in tonnage
entered and tonnage cleared. This
record is particularly gratifying in
view of the great effort which the
| city has made to improve its port ia
cilities.
"During the war period, general
business in New Orleans made trc-
mcndous strides. OF course, some of
this advance was Cancelled by the
1920-192l slump; but even at the
worst stage Of the reaction, business
was more than double that Of pre-
war days. The upward trend has
now been resumed and | forecast
that during 1929 local business will
run 90 per cent or moro over year
ago. The immediate outlook, there
fore, is fairly good; and for the long
pull, | recommend this city to those
who arc considering southern loca-
! tiOns.
Foreign Trade
"When considering southern sea-
ports, do not overlook Mobile. This
city is on the upward trend, both
for the current cycle and the long

not attempt to supply their own
needs from what they produce, but
rely on purchasing what they need
from the sale of the product or
products that they are able to pro-
duce best and most economically.
Land, labor and capital are the
three factors involved in produc-
ton. A rise in any one Of these
factors increases the cost of pro-
duction. Land values have been
rising rapidly. This means that
many of our farmers have become
wealthy not so much from the
farm products sold from the farm
but from the rise In value Of land.
They are enjoying what is COM
monty spoken of as the "unearned
increment" Some day somebody
will have to pay for this. If we
do not then it will be our children
or our children's children.
Something to Think About
1t is said that only from z to Is
per cent Of the farms OF the Un~i
States are inherited. The rest
must be paid for in whole or in
part once with each generation.
Can this be done? With increas-
ing land values this becomes in
creasingly more difficult. A rea-
sorable rate of interest on land
worth $4,000 will involve an in
terest or rental charge Of $500 to
$500 per acre. On land worth
$4,000 this will be from $4,000 to
$24.o0 per acre. This is heavy
hxed charge for the farmer who
attempts to pay for his farm in the
course of life time. Unless this
can be done it means that we are
to be cursed with a permanent
tenant system.
The census shows that our farm
acreage has not increased near in

gions of undeveloped or only par

tain. Our labor costs are greater
than in European countries and as
Increased yields per acre usually
involve more labor the increase in
production from more intensive
culture or from developing less de-
sirable land takes place slowly.
Improvements in our country
which increases labor or utiliza-
ton of less desirable land involve
higher prices for food unless the
farmer is willing to take less
profits.
The greatest problem OF our ma.
tion is to have men on farms that
can produce food at prices that the
consumer can afford to pay. The
farmer has the job Of feeding the
world. He cannot loaf on the job.
He must do his best to select
crops, livestock, feed, bread and
conduct his business economically
so as to furnish food at low cost
and at the same time he should
have a reasonable return if agri.
culture is to be made permanent
profitable and comfortable.
Civilization Needs the Farmer
The solution Of our food prob
lem is directly connected with the
land problem. If there is a proper
adjustment between the value o.
land and the other factors Of pro-
duction and the prices of farm
products then 1t will be possible
for the farmers to attack this prob
lem with the hope of arriving at
satisfactory solution. II land val
ues are run up beyond their value
for production purposes in order
that the speculator, be he farmer
or real estate dealer, may maSe
money then the real farmer will
find farming unprofitabiI. The
brighter and more ambitious young
men will be attracted away from
the farm and the farmers as a
class will deteriorate. This in
turn will mean thai our civilization
will go backward instead Of for.
ward.
Every citizen is therefore inter.
ested In the land problem and
should use his influence to see that
spectators do not run the selling
value beyond production value.
Fictitious land values spell higher
cost Of living and ultimately a low.
er class of citizens as farmers.
Imperial Valley press., 1923-03-19

figures show this city to be near
the top.
GA number e things seen in the
south, concluded Mr.. Babson,
"have attracted my attention.
Among them is the reforestration
which certain I ,he Oig lumber
companies, such us the Great South
ern Lumber Company at itogaidsa,
Louisiana, are undertaking. We
have been taught to believe that
numbering is only Of temporary
benefit to section; but this need
not be so. If these experiments in
re-foresting are successful, lumber
and pulp will be permanent products
of the south. In the north such re-
forcsting may be impracticable com
mercially, owing to slow growth; /;
but in the south with the heavy
rains and warm weather, reforest-
ing may be commercially profitable.
If so, the time may come when all
our newspapers may be printed up
on paper made from southern pulp.
a number of experiments in other
lines are now in process which if
successful will add great wealth to
the south. The experiments with
grapes in Florida, the possibility of
striking oil in certain states where
none has yet been found, are merely
illustrations of the latent wealth of
these wonderful states. Then there
is the beautiful climate of winter
which is not only great agricultur
al asset, but an industrial and com
merical asset as well. Moreover,
wages will always be less in the
south than in the north owing to q
lower cost of living and lower cost
of doing business. For the same
wage most peot.e nad much rather
live and work in the south. Only
higher wages in the north can keep
people there. The same air and
sunshine which causes the million
aire to seek southern climes is caus-
ing wage workers and others to do
likewise. ;Goreover, it is doing no
harm to have these millionaires come
down here. 1t opens their eyes to
the opportunities of the south and
will make it much easier in years
to come for the south to get that
capital which it has always so much

Roger Eabson is Optimistic in
Report on Conditions in the South

\ LAKE WALES, Florida, March
f9.-During the past two weeks
Roger w. Babson has been travelling
through the south continuing his
study of business conditions. He is
now i'll Florida and today releases a
statement on conditions.
81 am very bullish on the south
for the long pull, says Mr.. Babson
Alabama may become the greatest
Industrial state in America, and
Florida may become the greatest
agricultural state. The south has
all the basic natural rcsources-cH-
mate, phosphates, iuei, water power
and shipping facilities. All the
south needs is more vision and
more of that indescribable some
hing which makes things go.
Moreover, the south is fast getting
hat vision. Every southern city
md every southern state is evidence
If this fact. The south is waking
Up and the north and west must look
Jut or they will some day be out
,lassed both industrially and agri-
culturally.
Great Industrial Future
cit was only few years ago
that cotton mills were built in the
south. Today some of the finest
mills in the world are in Georgia,
the Carolinas and Texas. Moreov-
er, the workers in these mills are a
splendid group of sturdy Americans
of whom we all may well be proud.
But the industrial south is not de-
pendent upon cotton mills. Iron
and steel plants, great chemical
plants, mills and factories of all
kinds are now found in this section
New factories-stimulated partly
by the increase in railroad freight
rates--are springing up every day
in Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Geor-
gia, the Carolinas and Mississippi
Considering its stategic location for
Latin American export trade and
its nearness to the center of pcpula-
tion in the United States, the south
is bound to grow industrially.
Gas l explained when discussing
g certain section of the, west, the
wheat grower is up against the diff
Guilty that as a nation becomes more
prosperous it consumes less wheat
per capita. The reverse, however, is
true of cotton, sugar, fruits, nuts
and most of the other products
which are raised in the south. AS
people become more prosperous they
use more cotton, eat more sugar,
fruit, nuts and the like. Hence,
the south is sure to prosper agricul-
turally as it has sunshine, rain, and
phosphate as well as seasports, rail
roads, fuel, and every natural ad-
vantage.
"Figuring the cotton crop as a
whole, it will bring the grower so
or go per cent more money than last
year. This means not only gain
in actual purchasing power but a
marked change in sentiment. The
cotton states will have the means to
buy and will be III mood to buy.
From present idications, the locali-
ties to watch are Georgia and South
Carolina. In these states wcevil
damage may be rather serious. The
following list is based upon an esti-
mate of the leading crops and the

He was driving a Dodge car OF
which he became the owner about
4 month ago, and it is generally be-
ieved by those visiting the scene
)f the accident that something
went wrong with the car which
made it impossible for the driver

owing the tracks of the car down
his incline it was seen that the
ront wheels were running about
x inches to one side of the tracks
If the rear wheels, and from this
t is believed that the front wheel
ocked and the turn back mo til ;
road was impossible. Reching the
bridge the car was running direct
y towards the side of the grade

-omained with the car, believing
shat he could straighten it out and
'ieep to the road until it vas too
ate for him to make a jump.
The first from Kadoka to arrive
lpon the scene Of the disaster were
not aware that anyone was lying
under the wreckage, but upon lift
ing the car found the lifeless hu-
man form pinned beneath the back
Of the front seat, and the crushing
blow of the heavy car caused ms
tant death. The remains were to-,
en- with tender hands and brought
to Kadoka, and the father and rel
atives were notified of the disaster
hat befallen this young man. What
the cause, and just how the acci-
'ent happened will never be known,
but there is not in the minds of
any the thought that carelessness
was the cause, for Ted was known
for his ability as a driver and pos
sessed one Of the clearest and cool

painful and sad though the acci-
