Great Progress of Southern Farming.
If anyone doubts the genuineness
of the agricultural revolution In the
South we would coinmend to him
the table just published in the United
| States Department of Agriculture
I "Crop Reporter" glvln# “Crop Value
j Comparisons’* for the last nine years.
This table gives the valuations of ten
leading farm crops—corn, wheat,
hurley, rye, buckwheat, flaxseed, rice,
potatoes, Lay, lobaco and cotton —In
every State for the year 1899, and
again for the year 1908.
And In this statement some very
remarkable facts crop out, and es
pecially remarkable facts about tho
wonderful agricultural progress of the
Southern States. The first State In
value of agricultural products Is no
longer Illinois or lowa but a South
ern State —Texas. O f tho twenty
six leading States in vahie of agricul
tural products last year, eleven were
Southern, fifteen Northern and West
ern.
In 1899 the Southern farmer, repre
senting twelve States, prodaced 706
million worth of farm products, and
in 1908, 1,429 million dollars worth,
an Increase of 72 millions, or 102 1-3
per cent. In the same time the oth
er thirty-six states of the Union in
creased their total production only
1,163 millions, a total increase of only
64.5 per cent.
Or to put the mater differently, for
every SIOO earned in 1899 by each
Southern farmer, he nows earns
$202.33, while for every SIOO earned
in 1599 by each farmer outside the
South, he now earns only $164.50.
And having more than doubled his
income in nine years’ time, the
Southern farmer is only at the be
ginning of the great agricultural re
volution which has now begun—a re
volution in which Improved farm
methods and improved farm machin
ery are almost equally important fac
tors.
The other day the writer sent out
Inquiries to all sections of North
Carolina, South Carolina Georgia
and Tenessee, asking the percent
age of improvements in farming im
plements and machinery, not for
nine years, but for the last five years
The average replies showed an in
crease of 78.7 per cent. Similar in
quiries sent to all parts of Mississi
ppi, Lousisana, Arkanas. and Alabama
brought replies indicating an increase
of 92 per cent in five years’ time.
Ten years from now, of the twen
ty leading agricultural States in the
I’nion, the South will furnish ten.
Already with seven, no one who
studies the table given by the Ag-

Eradication of Hookworm.
Atlanta, Ga„ Special.—The first
conference for the eradication of the
hookworm, to be held in Atlanta Jan

commerce is in receipt of letters fron
the Governors of Mississippi, South
Carolina, Georgia and Fiord la , an
nouncelng that they will appoint die
gates to the Conference. The State
health officers of these States as well
as of Alabama, also, have signified
their intention of participating in the
conference.

breathing. It brings comfort and

Education in agricultural methods
seem to be in demand. Within elev
en years the number of students in
the agricultural colleges has increas
ed from four thousand to more than
fourteen thousand. The days when
the farmer held "book-learning" in
contempt have evidently passed.—

BLACK ROOT NOW;
BOLL WEEVIL SOON
Atlanta, Ga.,—State Entomologist
Worsham and Commissioner of Ag
riculture Hudson are very much i
gratified at the results of the cam- '
paign they have been waging for the |
past month or more and especially
gratified at the deep Interest and j
the spirit of cooperation manifested
on the part of the cotton growers
and others wherever they have ap
peared.
"I feel sure that we will be able
to conquer the dread Aack root in
cotton in this state,” says Entomolo
gist Worsham. “The people have
shown the keenest interest every
where and they seem to realize
that our interest is to aid them In
ridding the state of this pest. The I
Farmers Union, too, has co-operated i
with us in the most satisfactory
manner, the members turning out
everywhere.
"Cottonseed proof against the
black root is the only solution of
this problem. It may require a year
or so to secure enough seed to be
used In the forty odd counties in
which the wilt disease Is found, but
the farmers are going to stand by us
in our fight and that means com
plete victory.
“We must get rid of this pest at
once, as we face another grave
peril to the cotton crop if some un
foreeeen something does not inter
vene. I have reference to the boll
weevil. The past year the pest
traveled 90 miles, a greater distance
than it has ever gone before in one
year. It is now on the border of
Alabama on the west and if it con
tinues to travel as rapidly as it did
the past year, it will reach Georgia
in the next four or five years. I
think it wisest to face what seems
the inevitable and prepare to combat
it. We are getting ready now for
the fight with the weevil, and hope
to make such progress in the next
two or three years that we can
keep it from doing great damage.
It will pay any township or county
to do away with the labor system of
road construction and levy a tax to
raise the funds necessary to pay the
labor for the construction and main
tenance of the roads. The most
equitable tax is a certain amount on
the SIOO worth of property and also
a certain amount on the poll. As
every one living in a communiV re
ceives some benefit, directly or indi
rectly from the roads, no matter
what trade or profession he may fol
low or whether he owns any property
or not, I am very much in favor of
a poll tax for good roads work. —Pro-
gressive Farmer.

the congestion, and expels the cold
