It is to t: ix South that the Investiga
tors are looking for the increase
supplies necessary to meet the chans
ed conditions. Editor Edmonds, of the
Manufacturers' Record, discussing th's
matter, recently- said to a Baltlmor.
Sun Rejiorter:
The improvement made In Southern
agricultural conditions in the iast 10
yeara has been remarkable. With tie
development of diversified farming and
tlie growth in live stock greater at
tention has :teen given .to increasils
the fertility and productivity of the
soil. This is illustrated in the fact that
ip tire old states, such as North and
South Carolina, Che average yield
cotton per acre la now in excess oi
the yield In Texas, with all the virgin
fertility of the soil. There ls a marked
Improvement not only in the number
of live stock, but In the breeding. Th s
is especially true us to -hogs and cat
tle. In sheep raising the South is u
making much progress, though ad
mirably adapted tor sheep.
-Secretary Wilson is unquestionably
orrect in taking the ground that the
production of lire stock Iras not kept
pac*. with the growtih of the country,
tor it 'S true in th^ country as a who'e
r.3 weil as of the South, that the 1
crease In live stock has not been pro-
.portionate to the Increase in popula
tion. He is also correct in his state
ment that) he cutting up of the greV-
ranches of the West and Southwest
has changed tbe conditions of cattle
growing.
The country can no longer look to
the prarles of the West nor of Texas,
tor nearly every big cattle ranch- in
Texas is being cut up into small farms
which are being bought up by tens ot
thousands of Western iieople, for Its
■supply of live stock.,Tbe only hope
of an increase commensurate with tbe
increasing consumptive requirements
of our growing population will be not
on ranches, but on small farms where
the individual farmer increases even
by a few head tht number of cattle,
sheep'an-d swine. -Rapid progress is
being made in many portions of the
South, .and in thie mountain regions,
where the razor-back hog formerly
held sway, a better breed is being in
troduced, and the number Is being
Jargely increased. In the Central
South the same conditions are true.
Front every part of the cotton-growing
regions the reports show a very great
increase In llv e stock this year over
'last year: just as this year will shov
such a phenomenal increase In grain
production over last year.
The attempt that has beeto persist
ently made to discredit Gov. Brown s
democracy is merely a continuation of
t-iie old political tactics of the Atlanta
Journal. Gov. Brown has refused ’o
dally avow allegiance to a party to
which his loyalty has never been ques
tioned. His one utterance 1s ample.
Said he:“I api an organized Democrat
