I—and 1 —and permanent prosperity for
that very considerable section of ag
riculture which addresses itself to the
growing of food crops for local con
sumption.
| The home market for any product
is the best market. It means immed
iate sales, with transportation costs
practically eliminated, and the ele
ment of time in making delivery and
collecting for sale reduced to a min
imum.
Every factory built in the South
means increased consumption of
suits and vegatables generally. Ev
ery mill villiage orindustrial town is
1 one of tJ-je shining assets of the rur
rounding country—perhaps its best
asset. The workers must eat. They
appreciate fresh produce and are lib
j eral spenders. Many a dairy farmer
and truck farmer can testify grate- f
fully to that fact. r«*.
1 The South always will export a
substantial percentage of its agricul
tural output—the very nature of its
chief crop, that cosmopolitan globe
trotter we call cotton, assures that—
but the home consumption of what is
raised in its fields, both food crops
and fabric material, will steadily in*
crease. Indeed, the rapid industrial
iation of the South, the steady build
ing of factory after factory, and
success of those manufacturing plants
assurin gtheir permanency, is one of
th most encouraging things that has
,come to pass in recent years from an
agricultural standpoint. It is of
prime value in the stablization of
farming at a time when this great
industry, generally, is not in the hap
piest of condition —a state of affairs,
the countr yover, which is bound to
be righted for nothing is more essen
tial to the country’s safety and pros- J
perity than the growing of crops wih
which to sustain life itself and be
cause of that very fact agriculture
must function—and at a profit to
: the farmer.
Inconection with the fact that the
j Luildin go fmanufacturing plants es- j
tablishes a dependable, year-round
cash markt for produce grown in the
surrounding country, it is of interest ,
that consumption cf fruiis and vege
tables by the American public, includ
ing the South, is now almost twice
what it was ten years ago. During
the yars 1917 to 1919, the annual
average rail shipments of the sixteen
principal fruits and vegatables a
mounted to 478,540 carloads. For
the years 1924 to 1926 the annual
average was 848,099 carloads.

to the County. He sees in the im

back: “Yesterday we buggied
