"The South ? Development, spe
cial 70V-pa|se publlci'.tluu uj ho issued
by the Manufacturers' Record e;.rl> In
December, will contain loiters from
business men of the highest standing
In other sections who voico their opin
ion as to the future of the South. Com
ing from some of the great leaders In
Industry and In finance, these letters
must necessarily have a profound In
fluence In convincing the country that
the South Is to see a development In
the future far exceeding that of the
present. I
That the South Is the most inviting
field in the world for investment and
for Industrial development, that Its
resources are almost measureless in
extent, ai-e the tributes which men In
the North and West through "The
South's Development" have paid to
what this section has accomplished
while their forecast of the future will
stimulate a nctloa-wtde lnter_g?j in the
opportunities offered in the 8outh.
Taking Just a sentence or two from
these letters which In the aggregate
may be properly called a forecast of
the future, we have some remarkably
strong statements. In these sentences
we have testimony and tribute to the
South which could not be more strong
ly expressed by-the most enthusiastic
native of the South.
The Manufacturers Record says, it
has always been called an optimiBt
otr the South, but it is now inclined
to feel that in reality it has been a
pessimist as measured by what the
business leaders of the East and West
say of the South. Hero are a few ex

bn?? TOBACCO LAND
PAYS WOOD PROMT#
Oxford, Dec. 1. ? It v. Ill pay the to
bacco fumtfr to llmi bin land with
a wood grfcde of manjnealum lime
stone. '
Experiment* made during four yearn
r' the Tobacco 'Branch Station farm
near Ot toti and recently Made pofellc
by B. O. Menu, director of thla Button,
abow that liming the land before tot
ting the* plant* will InnUtd
yield ? ef tobacco, Improve It* Qdallty
and aid in controlling tobacco disea
ses. The tests reported on by Mr.
Moss were begun in 1920 and carried
on for four years.
In making the experiment, the to
bacco \%as planted in plots and was
fertilized, cultivated and cared for in
the same manner each year. The only
difference in the treatment was that
one half of the plots were limed and
the other half was not. The results
show that during the four years, the
un limed acre made a total yield of
2.977.46 pounds with a value of $472.72.
The average yield for each year was
744.36 pounds of cured wee?i per acre
with an average value, each year, of
$118.18 per acre.
For the limed half of the plots, a
total yield per acre of 3,675.52 pounds
of c ured weed was secured for the
fcur years with a value of $696.01. The I
average yearly yield was 918.88 per
acre with a value of $174.00.
These figures show that liming will
pay Kood returns. Mr. Mosk broad
casted the ground limesCone, using
about 2000 pounds per acre. The total
yield would probably have been larger
were It not for the fact that different
fertilizer mixtures were used on the
dlffrent plots resulting In low yields
where incomplete mixtures were ap
plied.
