The Lincoln times., 1955-04-21

John Mcleod. Lincoln county
FHA supervisor, stated today that
Lincoln farmers can now obtain
loans from the local Farmers
Home Administration office to fin
ance soil conservation practices on
land which has been diverted from
crop production.
Many farmers are planning to
use the former crop land for per-
manent pasture, Mcleod said.
Under Secretary True D. Morse
has pointed out that in many areas
there is not enough land in hay
and pasture to support the live
stock now on farms, especially the
all-time record number of cattle.
Cattle numbers this year in this
country total 95.4 million head
which is more than ever before.
The nations experience with
drought in the past three years
has demonstrated that most far
mers do not have enough pasture
and hay reserves to protect their
livestock operations, and the
threat of drought is still with us
here in 1855, according to Mr..
Morse.
Good pastures and high quality
hay and forage are essential in
cutting livestock production cost

1873 per cent; Arkansas, 11.6 per
cent: Mississippi. 80 per cent;
Kentucky. 81 per cent; Georgia,
20 per cent and Alabama. 0.4 per
cent. At the same time the follow
ing 8 Southern states were
racking up the following increases
in Negro population: California.
271 per cent; Michigan. 112 per
cent: Illinois. sc per cent: Ohio,
81 per cent; District of Columbia,
so per cent: New Jersey, 40 per
cent; and Pennsylvania. 35 per
cent. In 1940 the South had 70
per cent of all Negro population,
and the rest of the United States
had % per cent. In 1850 the South
had only 62.5 per cent of Negro
population. and the rest of the
nation had 375 per cent.
3. In natural increaSe-eXcesS of
births over deaths - the South
gained 1875 per cent, 1940-50. COM
pared with ia per cent for the
rest of the nation. The South lost
69 per cent in its population from
net migration-more people leav-
ing the area than moved in. 1t is
significant that of the 4,215,000
people who left the South in this
l0-year period. 1892, ,000-or 81 per
cent-were Negroes.
4. Accompanying the departure
of so many Negroes from the
South, marked changes took place
l940-50. in the South's agriculture
Number of farms in the South de-
creased II per cent, but number
of farm owners increased II per
cent. Number of tenants decreased
81 per cent. While number OF
farms less than 220 acres in size
decreased about IA per cent, num-
Der OF farms 220 acres and larger
increased 13 per cent. To make up
for loss in labor supply, Southern
farmers increased their ownership
of tractors 24l per cent and motor
trucks 165 per cent. Ownership of
many tractor drawn implements
increased even faster. Southern
cash farm income increased from
S2.5 billion in 1910 to S84 billion
in 1850.
URBAN GROWTH
5. The South gained 36.7 per
cent in urban population, 1940-50,
while the rest of the United States
gained only 1875 per cent in urban
population. Towever, in 1850 the
South was still Sis per cent rural
as compared with rural popula-
tions of other regions as follows:
Northeast. 20.5 per cent; North
Central, 35 per cent: and Western
30.3 per cent.

has grown at an average rate of

what a particularly vigorous Sec
ton like the South can do in a
20-ylear period are often too con-
servative.

"The most dynamic advance in
the South today-and one of the
most significant things going on
in the nation-is the growth and
changing characteristics of South
ern population.
1t was a noted educator talking.
And he put his finger on one of
the most fascinating developments
in the South's history. Population
is people-and people are a re-
gion'S richest asset. Transforma-
ton of the South's population has
been so rapid that many of US
have not been fully aware of its
implications. Let's take an ap-
praising look at the people of the

they may mean to ourselves and
our children. Seven changes of

population should mean yet great
er consumption of cotton.
5. Fertilizer requirements for the
South in 1875 will be 2-1i2 times
the amount consumed in 1850.
Consumption of nitrogen fertilizer
has increased almost 300 per cent
since l945. 1t is estimated the
South by 1875 will be using mil
lions tons of nitrogen fertilizer per
year. of which 1-1i2 million tons
will be produced in the South.
6. Southern forest products will
be in vastly greater demand. w.
R. Hine of the USDA Forest Ser
vice says the South now has 100
million acreS-4l per cent of the
nations total-capable of growing
commercial forest trees. He con-
SiderS the South has % million
acres of idle forest land and an
equal area of eroded cropland
that could profitably be planted
to trees. 1t is thought the South'S
timber production in its present
forests could be doubled of Scien-
tific forestry methods were used.
Cne need for more wood products
is demonstrated by the fact that
the South'S three newSprint
plants are already producing 480,-
600 tons of newsprint a year. 1t
is believed that by 1875 annual
Southern newsprint production
will be l Ia million tons.
CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
7. The chemical industry will be
conferred in the South by 1875.
The South now has one-third of
the nations chemical industry
and by 1868 is expected to have
one-half of this vital industry.
8. Use of electricity in the
South will increase fourfold by
1875, it is estimated by j. G.
Holtzclaw, president of Virginia
Electric Power Company. Thomas
W. Martin, board chairman, Ala
bama Power Company, predicts
that in the next 10 years number
OF home freezerS in the South
will triple: ranges and electric
water heaters, double; clothes
driers. quintuple; and room air
conditions will increase IL times
in number. 1t is evident that
many new manufacturing plants
will be located in the South to
fill these needs.
9. 1t is likely that another ma
jor steel mill will be located in
the South by 1875.
10. The South can SurpasS many

culture with industry Someone
has said, Every day in the year a
new multi-million dollar industrial
plant is opened in the SOUTH"
Though this is not literally true. it
is not greatly exaggerated. In 1851
the Southern States spent 50 bill
lion for new plants and equip
ment. This compared with SIT
billion spent in the heavily indus
trial Middle Atlantic States -
New York. New Jersey. and Penn
sylvania. In the same year the
New England States spent only
S452 million for new plants and
equipment. Number of employees
engaged in Southern industry in
1851 was million. This compared
with million such workers in the
Middle Atlantic States and Is
million in New England. Value
added by manufacture in the
South in 1851 was SIS billion. This
compared with S26 billion for the
Middle Atlantic States and SS.5
Dillon IN New England.
What do these profound chang
eS in the South's population and
way of life indicate for the future?
A thoughtful analysis prepared by
the Southern Association of Sci
ence and Industry, Inc, Atlanta,
Ga, and presented to the South
ern Governors Conference last
November perhaps gives the most
authoritative prediction available
We summarize predictions in this
report. The South in 1875" as
follows:
SOUTH IN 1875
l. The nations population in
1875 will range from 100 million
to 220 million. This growth will be
equivalent to all persons now liv-
ing west of the Mississippi River.
1t will be necessary to increase
agricultural production by 40 per
cent to feed this increased popula-
ton.
2. The nations total output of
goods and services in 1875 will be
twice what it was in 1850. The
South'S opportunity for growth is
clear when it is understood that in
the next 20 years the South may
expect to gain several thousand
new manufacturing plants employ
inc 100 or more workers. AS a
matter of fact. SASI has previous
ly predicted the South will gain
5000 major manufacturing plants
in the next 10 years. The signifi-
canoe of this is demonstrated
when it is realized that each 100
new factory workers in a rural
community result in the following
additions. 296 more people. ll2
more households. S59O.000 more
personal annual income. S270,000
more bank deposits, four more re-
tail establishments. and S360,00O
retail sales annually.
3. Per capita income of many
Southern states will rise above the
national average. BY 1875. the
South will likely have at least six
"itiaS of over l million population
and most metropolitan areas will
at least double in population and
size. These two factors will great
ly increase market for Southern
farm products.
4. An increased demand for cot
ton seems sure to lie ahead De-
spite a great increase in man
made fibers, mill consumption of
cotton fibers has increased from
6-1j2 million bales to 9 million
bales in recent years. Increasing
