/ CHAPEL HILL, N. c., June 13
Southerners, relatively speaking
are "eatin' high on the hog"
| Farms are fewer. larger. Wher,
thousands of acres of cotton ono
stood now roll the green pasture
dotted with Angus, Herefords
Jerseys, sheep and goats.
More and more of the land Il

the land once considered the pri-
vate domain of the mule.
Into the Tennessee Valley have
poured more than 5000 new enter
prises in the brief span OF Is
years.
Since 1914 alone. reports the
Department of Commerce. the
number of businesses spurted by
$50 900, bringing the total to 512,-
000-a gain of 43 per cent.
From near zero so years ago
the region has progressed until ii
now accounts for IA per cent OF
all United States manufacturing
concerns.
In terms of what the rest of the
Nation has, though. the South is
still the poor relation, but the
point is, it isn't entirely destitute
any more.
A measure of the urgent activity
is to be found in the Birmingham
Ala, steel district, which has been
operating at capacity for 10 years
and this despite the loss of mar
kets to new mills in Texas and on
the West Coast.
Into South Carolina and North
Carolina have come textile fac
tories, using cotton and synthetic
yarns, by the score. Along the
Gulf Coast has risen forest of
oil rigs and chemical plants.
DR.. Howard w. Odum, of the
University of North Carolina. pos
sibly the Nations foremost au-
thority on the region, observed:
'"The nature of the present day
trends in the South may be illus
trated by certain specific cases
from which it is possible to OBJ
serve a trend.
"The estimated population of
the Southern regions in 1945 was
1878 per cent of the total for the
United States. The total income
payments were 23.4 per cent, but
the percentage increase from 1910
to 1945 was 146 for the South
compared with 116 for the Nation.
Salaries and wages in the
South were 22.3 per cent of the
Nations total, but the increase
for the South was 155 per cent as
compared with 125 for the nation.

senting an increase of 234 per

tremendous stimulant for the de.
velopment of the South indus
trially, but the trend has beer
noticeable over the past decade
and a half. Why?
/ DR.. M. S. Heath, professor OF
economics at North Carolina, at
tributes much of it to the develop
ment of the South as a market.
| It is automatic, Of course, that
| in free economy industry is for
ever seeking to place itself in
profitable relationship to labor
supply. resources and purchasing
power.
The South had everything but
purchasing power. How did it get
it?
With the beginning of the
Roosevelt administration, said DR..
Heath, the South began receiving
huge sums as parity payments on
cotton and tobacco.
For the first time, he observed
the South was receiving enough
money to meet it's living require
ments and have some left over.
The surplus, OF course, he con-
tinued. was used for improvement
and thus the South found itself
being rated as a market. a lure to
industry.
World War II, DR.. Heath said,
left a tremendous reservoir of
purchasing power within the re-
gion and thus added to its attrac-
ton as market.
Statistics are dull, but. they tell
story sometimes as nothing else
can. Look at these State by State
figures for expenditures on new
plants, expansion and purchase of

Because of high prices, you may have temporarily
tried some coffee that was priced much cheaper
and been disappointed found it little stale. The
reason ~by it was cheaper was probably this it may
have been roasted many weeks before coffee prices
to their highest level. Result: old coffee, low
price. But no bargain at any price.

claim you can make ever 50 many more cups per
