Many years ago it was pointed out
in the Manufacturers Record that
some parts of the Northwest were be
coming so thoroughly foreignized that
the time would come when, in order
to be among their own the
Americans of that section would prac
tically be forced to move South. The
truth of this is being fulfilled. No
man can study the present situation
without seeing that from many sources
there is a southward trend of the best
element of the people from the west
and northwest, as well as from New
England. Many of these people want

THE SOIL
OF WHITFIELD
MADE GOOD
ONE FARMER MAKES BIG CROP
OF COTTON AND CORN—A
SPLENDID EXAMPLE FOR ALL
OTHERS TO FOLLOW.
An example of what old Whitfield
county can do is the crop raised by
S. A. Slaton on the farm of Mr. George
Hamilton, just north of this city.
Mr. Slaten has raised two thousand
bushels of corn on forty-five acres of
I land and used only 100 pounds of fer
| tilizer the acre.
I In addition to the corn he has
I gathered 11 bales of cotton from 15
acres and says that he will gather 9
1 more, which will make 20 bales to the
15 acres or one and a third bales to
I the acre. He used 400 pounds of
i fertilizer to the acre at a cost of three
dollars and a third to the acre.
Mr. Slaten is a great believer in
thoroughly sub-soiling and his crops
are proofs of the value of such
plowing..
Some of the land on which he grew
these crops a few years ago was
worthless because it was under water,
■ but with a system of good drain tiling
!he made the land worth as much as
any land in the county. The drain
•tile costs about thirty dollars per
i acre and he says there are many acres
' in this county that are valueless be
' cause of water but every one of them
i can be made worth a great deal by
; draining.

The boll-weevil tty
and around Georgia, the Carolina,
and Tennessee these days.
He is a destructive l utie
-where cotton is concerned there
is no doubt about that. R ut at
the same time he has proved
nothing short of s real blessing
m the several states that he has
already trampled.
Have you read the words of
Champ Clark, speaker of the
House, under the caption, “G o
South, Young Man. Go South!”
No? Listen:
“Go South my boy! The South
is the place and my advice is to
go there. You won’t eat as
much as you do here in the north.
If you do, you’ll die. Your cloth
ing must be lighter and there
fore less expensive. You won’t
have to buy any fuel to speak of
and you can allow your horses
and cattle to graze out or doors
the year round. The South is
the poor man’s land and you’ll
live to see the day when the
South is going to be the richest
part of the United States.”
You’d think us insane if we
added here our prophecy of what
the South will be in ten years.
Suppose you work out something
for yourself with this for a start
er:
Tn thirty years the increase in
the individual deposits in all
classes of banking institutions in
the South have shown an increase
of $1,360,000,000.00 or 863.3 per
cent.
Now—
What will be the increase in
1920 over 1910?
