Agricultural Conditions Most Encour aging In Southern States. With 26,277,000 acres planted in corn this year, being an increase of 1,535,000 cfver 1909 and 2 J76,000 acres over 1908, the farmers of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor gia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi are furnishing very substantial proof of the fact that the South Is constantly devoting more at tention to raising its own food sup plies. These figures are from the last report of the Bureau of Statistics of the U. S. Department of .Agriculture. Each state showed an increase over 1908 In 1909 and an increase over 19^ in. 1910. The condition of thi? yew’s crop as reported by the depart ment shows the states of the South leading the country, Mississippi being first, Alabama second and Georgia third. The great increase In the acreage devoted to corn is considered one of the most hopeful signs in the South today. In a letter to the directors of the Southern Railway Company, Pres ident Finley said: “The increase in the acreage of corn accompanied, as it is, by a quite gen eral adoption of improved cultural methods, is one of the most encour aging features of Southern agricul tural progress. It is one of the re sults of a general movement through- mit the South in the direction of di versified agriculture—a movement which we are endeavoring to encour age and as55ist as far as we can prop erly do so.” As the farmers of the South ^ in crease their yield of com, they will save enormous sums which they have been spending in the West for food products and will consequently them selves realize mcrre from cotton and other ^arket crops.
