SOUTH NOW FEEDS
AMERICAN UM
More Than Quarter Million Car
loads Foodstuffs Being
Shipped Annually
BALTIMORE, August 8. A
symposiac just concluded under
auspices of the Manufacturers’
Record discloses that the Southern
states are annually shipping 250,-
000 to 300,000 carloads of food
stuffs to the North and West and
actually feeding the entire Ameri
can nation.
The extent to which these ship
ments are being made is indicated
in the fact that two counties in
Virginia are annually shipping near
ly 3,000,000 barrels of potatoes
mainly to Northern and Western
markets, even as far North as Can
ada; and that one railroad operat
ing between the Central South and
the East handled last year 95,000
carloads of fruits and’ vegetables
destined for Northern and West
ern consumption.
This industry has become of na
tional importance. It has changed
the whole character of the food sup
ply of the country. In former
years all classes, the rich and the
poor alike, had but a limited supply
of winter vegeatbles and fruits, de
pending largely upon canned goods,
or on such locally raised vegetables
as could be stored through the win
ter. Today the condition is en
tirely reversed. Tens of thousands
of carloads of winter raised vege
tables produced in the South are
distributed in Northern and West
ern markets to the great advantage
of the health of the people, for
these vegetables not only furnish

Poison in the Blood such as Malaria can Weaken

sustenance to many millions, but
■ they give them the kind of nour-
I ishing food so much needed, but
i which in former years did not ex
j ist.
I The nation’s entire food situaiton
has been reversed, and the Routh,
|to its own great profit and to the
| blessing of millions of people in
other sections, is carrying on a food
production campaign the magnitude
of which is presented in this issue
jas never before. This country will
j be awakened by a study of the
fact given by railroad executives
and special correspondents as to
the influence of this industry upon
the agircultural products of the
i South, upon the railroads which
transport this food, and upon the
consuming population in other sec
tions of the country.
To the South the development of
this industry means an increase al
most without limit of agricultural
wealth. It means that as the ra
tion’s population increase.',, and the
consumption of winter vegetables
grows more rapidly than popula
tion, there will be room in the
South for a vast increase in the pro
duction of foodstuffs for winter
consumption, and of potatoes,
watermelons, peaches, pears, citrus
and other fruits for consumption in
the early spring and summer before
Northern products are ready for
the market.
Amid the gloom which seems to
settle over some parts of the wheat
growing regions of the West is here
shown by contrast the wonderful
prosperity which these trucking and
fruit-growing regions are enjoying,
to the good of this section and the
good of the nation.

“THE EXCITERS” PACKED
WITH DRAMATIC INCIDENTS
“Come down to earth!”
An expression especialy applica
ble in the case of Ronnie Rand,
played by Bebe Daniels, co-starred
with Antonio Moreno in the Para-
mount picture, “The Exciters,”:
playing at the Ryalnder theater « n
Thursday and Friday.
Miss Daniels as Ronnie Rand, a
typical example of the modern girl,
seems to take great delight in
leaving mother earth as far behind
as possible. To accomplish this,
Ronnie, to the annoyance of her
parents, forces into service a num
ber of power boats, airplanes, eith
er from her own collection or those
loaned by admiring friends.

‘TOT’ M’CULLOUGhIs
OUT OF COLLEGE BALL
NASHVILLE? ~Aug- 8. The
“faculty-made” summer baseball
rule of the Dixie collegiate body is
taking its toll from the Vander
bilt Commodores. Dr. S. V. San
ford. president of the S. I. C„ has
notified the commodores that Tot
McCullough has forfeited his right
of playing with the Commodores
again because of his , affiliation
with the Albany, Ga.', baseball
club.
Tot was working his way
through school by summer base
ball, and was forced to do the
“forbidden” even at the cost of
his amateur standing. It meant
his senior year in school—and the
rule-makers thought that a little
summer baseball was professional
ism. Tot had a fine offer to join
George Stalling, International
league pennant Contenders, but
gave it up in order to try college
athletics again. He is now barred
under the S. I. C., ruling.
