LAND SHARKS AT
WORK IN SOUTH.
Southern Commercial Congress
Finds That Farmers Are Charg
ed Extortionate Prices and Or
ganizes Protection.
The Southern Commercial Con
gress which was organized in
Washington, December 1908, has,
in the development of its work,
co ne across a condition affecting
tie* interest of every farmer who
m iy contemplate moving into the
South.
A number of very large land
corporations have been formed
outside the South to acquire large
bo lies of Southern land at cheap
prices and then sell the land in
small pieces to farmers at a per
p ndicular advance in price. The
Congress has seen in this two
w ongs to the South, and has set
about to correct them.
The first wrong is that the en
ti • profit of retailing these lands
fa sto benefit the region out of
v -tch the profit is made, and the
s ond wrong is that purchasers
p too mucti and have no local
r ,- ess if they have bought un
s uctory land “off the map/’
C isequently, the Southern Com
i "rial Congress is now working
i irious counties in the South to
1 g together land owners, real
( t ■ men, bankers, and other
. ies men of a county in order
t they may go into the business
o vhoiesaling large tracts and
r tiling them in small areas. The
■uctory part of this plan is that
b .‘ M’s of lands from distant points
vv . ieal with only the most de
p iabl* men in a community and
tii , are bound to be satisfied.
ns entirely new system, which
h i been evolved by the Congress
is lobe called “The Monroe Sys
tem,” since it was first put into
effect in Monroe, Louisiana, where
tiu Monroe Realty and Immigra
tion Association has been capital
ize! to handle the rich, unused
lands of Ouachita Parish. At the
oul-set a similar association will
be organized in one county at
least of each of the States thst the
Southern Commercial Congress
works for. These States are Ala
bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland,
Mississippi, Missouri, North Caro
lina, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and
West Virginia. The Congress,
from its Washington office, an
swers any and every sort of ques
tion regarding these States.
