Germ Of Agricultural Revolution" Seen In SOuth'S Drift To Industry
RY NM NerVlNN

Ny N&A Service
 Montgomery, Alas Nov. 5--In the Deep South, war industryS whlr- ring wheels hum a song of revolt against King Cotton. And many of his farmer oourtiers like its mt.
 Government ofiicials consider its ccurrent stage on unhealthy sltu- ation, bu tdespite all organized eff forts to remedy it, many observers sec King Cotton's realm gripped in cycle that history may caM "the agricultural revolution"
 The cycles starting gun ex- ploded at Pearl Harhor. It set of an economic race which gains momentum with every turn of a war plant lathe. Men, and many of the women, too. are leaving farms for war plants, Their mag net: more cash money in a month thna they handled in O year be- fore Jap bombs fell on Honolulu. FARM AGENTS CONCERN
 Charles J. Brockway, Mobile county farm agent and a veteran in the Alabama Extension Service, has attended cocnferences in many parts of the south. From them he has drawn the conclusion that "un- less the government does some- thing, there Is not going to be much farming next year."
 Broadway Is qualified to speak from personal observation in the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida. He also has confirming evidence from farm agents in other southern states.
 Farmers are going to war in- dustry jobs "in droves," but the migration is not confined to ten ants. Hrockway says it is com mon thing for him to notice some good old farmer" who has taken a defense job as a guard as spe- cial policeman, while younger farm workers become welders, painters, carpenters, machinists or em- ployes in other skilled lines.
 SITUATION NOT LOCAL
 Brockway has seen farmers at WVkh HI QCAStAoC RaAAANo 0eAA - ASW days later noticed their acreage abandoned after being planted and worked for one time.
 Reports from other states under the Farm Security Administrations s regional ofiice here give proof that the situation is not localized, but is, in fact, general, varying only if the distance @ farm area is To- cated from a defense plant.
 And 1t is no military secret that the south's mild climate, electric power resources and manpower have led to the location of de- fanse plants in practically every section below the Mason-D Dixon line. These plants have drawn workers from hundreds of miles away.
 A typical example is the Ingalls shipbuilding plant at Pascasoula, Mss, a sleepy town which three years ago had a population of about 5000, but now has musn- roomed to more than l5,0O0. In-

gals officials will tell anyone who asks that Q great majority of their men come from the farms of Mississippi and that most of them never saw Q ship until compara- lively recent days.
 Defense plants dot northern Ala bama and Tennessee and these plants are manned, to a great eX- tent, by men from the farms.
 Hundreds of miles away are two big shipyards in Mobile, Ala, which had Q population of less than 1000 when the l940 census was taken. Mobiles rationing boards have is sued almost 2i0,000 sugar ards, and most of that population in- crease came from neighboring Mississippi, Florida and other parts of Alabama.
 LABOR SHORTAGE CRITICAL
 The war powered agricultural revolution has deal tthe southern farmer one terrific clip. This is the labor shortage. It costs the average grower around @ per 100 pounds to have his cotton picked meaning @ picking expense of $50 a bale for 1900 pounds of seed cotton converted into 800 pounds of lint when ginned.
 Farmers must combat this grow ing and picking expense, scarcity of transportation to gins, the

necessity of picking their own cot. otn in time needed for other vital farm chores, In addition, the war has cut of 6 large part of the market for southern farm products, as evidenced by the closing, for the first time in history, of the 2S- year-old exporting Mobile Cotton Exchange. Although farm officials say that the United States and its allies can consume all products which farms can grow with ade- quate labor, in some sections of the south farmers declare it is use- less for them to plant when they do not believe they will be able to harvest.
 SEE SHORTAGE PROLONGED
 Observers fear that the effects of the labor shortage may be pro- longed. The southern ruralist has learned that there is more money in the big plants which they be- lieve will be busy for years after the war, catching up on delayed manufacture of products for ci- vilian needs. And farm officials be- lieve, too, that many of the men who left the rural districts for the armed forces will want e fling at industrial jobs when the war is over, and that one of the big prob- lens will be to get them back to the farms.
