PRODUCE- COTTON IN SPITE
1 OF MEXICAN BOLL WEEVIL
No Seciton Better Fitted to Live
Stock and Dairy Industry
Than Southeast.
4 ' -
Washington, D. C., Oct. 29th —
Presidnet Finley ,of the Southern
Railway Company has returned
from a trip through the South
east, a feature of which, was a
meeting in Knoxville, Tenn., on
Oct. 21st, with most of the offi
cers of the Company and its asso
ciated Companies including the of
ficers and field agents of the De
partment of Farm Improvement
Work and Live Stock and Dairy
Agents. Speaking of the agricul
tural situation in the Southeast
as disclosed in this meeting, Mr
Finley said:
‘‘Reports from all parts of the
territory were most encouraging,
but mor e gratifying than any
thing else was the evidence that
farmers in the territory into
which the Mexican cotton boll
weevil has spread who followed
he advice of our field agents or
of the agents of the Agricultural
Department have b/en able to
produce cotton successfully in
spite of the weevil . The practi
cal demonstration of the possibil
ity of controlling the weevil in
territory east of the Mississippi
River is of more, than incidental
importance. It means that cotton
is still to be the leading crop in
that territory. Under the inten
sive cultural methods made ncees
sary by the boll weevil, cotton cr*
of the Southeast will be produced
<mi a smaller acreage and farmers
itfe strengthening their position
by diversifying their crops to a
degree heretofore unknown in
the cotton belt. Special attention
is being given to forage crops
and to corn. Formerly Southeast
era farmers bought large qua'nti-
ties of western corn for farm
Now there are South
Kmstern farmers who have corn fo
Psale. Preliminary estimates- in
dicate that this year's corn crop
in tlie South *ast will surpass all
previous recods. The cotton crop
i(n the Southeast, while not as
large as in some previous years,
is gocd and is being sold at an
unusually good average price.
“With the diversification of
crops comes the raising of live
stock of all kinds and the build
’ ing up of the dairy industry. A
few years ago silos were practical
ly unknown in many Southeastern
localities. Today they are being
erected in numerous neighbor
hoods. There is no section of
the country better fitted 1 to the
live sock and dairy industry than
1 the Southeast and!, in addition to
‘abundant forage crops and long
grazing seasons, that section en
joys the advantage of relatively
close location to the markets of
the most densely populated re
gjpn in the United States along
jfclie Atlantic seaboard which are
sHpually calling for increased
IflPpftnes of meat and da by pr>d
ts as well as other eommodit Vs
the Southeast can produce
advantageously, including fruits
and vegetables.

SETS GOOD EXAMPLE
Thirteen Year Old Farm Lad
Banks SIOO in Nine Months
Atlanta, Ga. ,Oct 29—A thir
teen-year-old youngster, raised
on a Georgia farm has come for
ward to set the world an example
in thrift and savings. His name
is Bill Engrain*, and he lives at
i Rebecca, Ga. An Atlantan who
fenows him vouches for the fact
that the boy who is earning his
living as a farm hand, and mak
ing 41 cents a day and hoard, has
actually saved and put away SIOO
in less than nine months.
" Atlanta hankers to whose at
tention the boy’s case has been
brought, declare that if the youn^
ster lives he will eventually be a
millionare.
It seems to he an illustration
ofi the old axiuin that it’s not-so
much what a man makes that
counts as what he saves.

Sawi Oats, Sow Oats.
According to reports from the
corn-growing west the crop
that grain will he very short next
year. This means that corn •‘will
soar as it has not done 'n years
The dollar mark and then some
will be placed before every bush
el and it will be too high to feed
on when a good crop of oats
would enable the stockowner to
feed that grain.
