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- THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1909 cultural Department can doubt that before another decade she will have half of the leading twenty.—Progres sive Farmer.

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.
