PRODUCE MUCH WEALTH
I
By S. H. HOBBS JR. I
Bringing coal to Newcastle has
long been cited as the height of
folly. I submit that importing food
Into the South is the folly of follies.
It is a ludicrous fact that the section
of the United States best suited
to grow food and feed products, a
section where farmers predominate
in the population, is notorious for
the volume of imported food and
feed. The following table estimates
conservatively the cash we send out
each year for imported food.
Virginia ?$ 80,000,000
North Carolina 180,000,000
South Carolina 135,000,000
Georgia 240,000,000
Florida 80,000,000
Alabama * 128,000,000
Mississippi 168,000,000
as nnn noo
iemiesBoc ,
Total. .$1,096,000,000
If one doubts the reasonableness
of these figures, let him inventory
the stock of any grocery store and
see what per cent of the stock is
supplied by the entire South. In my
studies in several North Carolina
towns I have found that around 90
per cent of the contents of grocery
stores comes from outside the 1
South. There are many things that
these eight states cannot produce,
but for them to export one billion
dollars in cold cash annually for
imported food is absurd, and it is a
practice that must "be stopped if we '
are to accumulate wealth. Think
what it would mean to these eight
states if this enormous sum could
be retained for just one year. i
It is thus seen that agriculture in 1
the South is on the lowest level, the I
crop stage. We are producers of pri- 1
mary crude wealth and consumers
of finished products. The souin most
certainly needs to move out of the
cropping stage and over into verti- i
cal farming. By vertical farming is
meant, first, the production of '
crops; second, the production of
livestock; third, the production of I
livestock products and the proces- i
sion of home-grown food crops; and '
fourth, the orderly marketing of 1
these finished products. Vertical J
farming and solving the local mar- <
ket problem are the two great eco
nomic necessities in the South at '
the present time. Yet the solution 1
is exceedingly difficult in an area <
of excessive farm tenancy and near- 1
illiteracy.
Wealth and Income
Largely due to the nature of our
system of farming and to excessive 1
ruralism, the South ranks low in I
wealth and in income. The following J
table shows the production of pri- 1
mary and secondary wealth (wealth J
produced by farms, forests, mines '
and factories) for the eight states '
for the year 1923, the best year we
have had during the last decade.
Total Wealth Produced
Virginia $ 923,000,000 1
North Carolina 1,513,000,000
South Carolina 706,000,000
Georgia 971,000,000
Florida 335,000,000
Alabama 975,000,000 t
Mississippi 532,000,000
Tennessee ? 1,003,000,000 t
\
Total $6,958,000,000 j
If the gross income of these
states is reduced to a per capita r
basis, and the states ranked, we j.
find the following results, for the t
year 1926. ^
Per Capita Gross Income
Rank State Per capita income
28 Virginia $502
44 North Carolina 430
42 South Carolina 437 c
42 Georgia 437 1
45 Florida 408
48 Alabama 383
47 Mississippi 386
41 Tennessee 440 *
A third approach to the matter
of wealth is afforded by the U. S. 8
Census estimates of true wealth by 1
states. The following tables gives 1
the amounts of true wealth per 1
capita, and the rank of the eight
states for the year 1925. 1

40 Tennessee 1,976
Perhaps the best evidence of accumulated
wealth or the ability of a
people to retain a fair share of the ^
wealth produced, as well as evidence .
of commercial and industrial development,
is afforded by a comparison
of bank resources. The following
table shows the per capita bank re- ?
sources at the end of the year 1928. J

The Balance of Trade 1
As a result of an ill-balanced economic
development the South fails Ai
WArrentoa. North Oaroi
;o accum Jate any large amount of o
wealth. We do not know all of the o
facts about the balance of trade In
favor of or against the South, but j
mere stock taking of the small r
amount of our wealth or of our net
Income is sufficient proof of an un- ^
favorable balance of trade. This is f
a field in which a great deal of research
needs to be done. We know ^
that we have a favorable balance
on a few items such as cotton, to- f
bacco, and forest products. However, f
there is an unfavorable balance on
a vast number of items, on some of
which a change could be effected.
The economic organization of a re- c
gion should be as diversified as the
law of comparative advantage will
permit. There are things that the a
South Atlantic states cannot pro- t
duce, yet we import many things
that no region on earth can pro- s
duce more advantageously. This is 1
our fatal mistake.
The Way Out r
t
I understand that it is the purpose
of this conference to solve the ^
social-economic problems of the ^
South! I have tried to do only what
any other student of affairs in the
South can do as well or betternamely,
to recall a few of the so- r
cial-economic difficulties and prob1
.,fw. T4- jo Aiii> rmriweo ^
JLcIUS Ui til? OUUWI. it io v/v*A
to consider these problems and to
work at a solution of them. In conclusion,
however, I would suggest
that we have come to the point in
our economic development when it
would be wise to take stock of our c
achievements, take a real look into s
our resources, and on the basis of
economic opportunities and advantages
plan our future. This very
thing is being done by the New
England states. For more than four
years they have been quietly in- c
vestigating their economic status ?
and taking stock of further oppor- }
tunities. They have hired some of i
the best economists to aid them in
their investigations. The business
men are backing the investigation to ^
the limit. The central idea of this *
group is to develop every economic s
opportunity at hand so as to make
New England as "independent" of s
the rest of the Nation as possible. *
They have frankly told the other fc
states what they are aiming to do. 1
They plan to re-establish agriculture,
and to develop farm industries
sufficient to care for the New En- (
gland needs. In short, they are mak- t
ing a regional inventory and are
coldly laying their plans for the I
future. We have come to see the im- o
portance of regional rural-urban f
economic interdependence. The
South Atlantic area has been so de- b
signed by nature that it could be a
practically self-sufficing. If we will
only do as much brain-sweating to- j
ward the solution of our problems ii
as New England is applying toward
the solution of hers we can beat the s
Yankees hands down, for the New v
England Yankees admit that the s
South Atlantic states possess far
superior natural resources. What we ?
Pave got to demonstrate is that we ^
Pave the brains, the industry, and a
the initiative to utilize our natural
resources to the advantage of the
South Atlantic states.

fires were incendiarists, who are
cliarged with starting 16; 15 began
from brush-buming joperations; 8
were assigned to campers, fishermen
and hunters; 7 originated from lumbering
operations; 11 started from
miscellaneous causes; the origins of

originated from lightning, the only
natural source of forest fire in the
state. ,
With long stretches of dry weather,
the present year has faced one
of the oddest seasons for forest
fires known to the warden service
of the state, one of the results beng
an abnormally long season and
at times unseasonable fires which
threatened considerable destruction.
The activities of the wardens,
conservation officials declare, itiave
been effective in reducing the destruction
from forest fires during

Shay Tells Way To
Secure Pork Profits
With cold storage holdings of
pork more than 63 million pounds
less than they were one year ago
and with the price of live hogs $2.73
lower than it was last year at this
time, what is the farmer going to
do, asks W. W. Shay, swine extension
specialist at State College.
"The price he receives for good
hogs is something that the farmer
cannot control, but he can control
: the quality of pork he produces and
also the time or date of selling,"
says Mr. Shay. "These two factors
: affect to a large extent the price
he receives and to a much greater
8 extent the net returns which shows
the profit or loss from this farming
activity."
According to Mr. Shay the average
market price of live hogs during
the week ending July 19th was
$2.73 less than the price during the
same period last year.
Vin ntW/iAe f rvr
Ixvir. onay ^uiico uu?v iwi
hogs have shown the highest average
during September with August
following a close second over a five
year period but that only twelve per
cent of the market hogs produced
in North Carolina are sold during
> that time. During these months a
200 pound hard hog wil bring as
much as a 300 pound oily hog will
in December. In spite of this many
Spring pigs are now loafing in
woods lots and pastures with little
other fetrd, he says.
Another factor that the farmer
can control is that of feed, says Mr.
Shay. Wtiere there is not sufficient
feed on any farm shows a lack of
' foresight on the part of the farmer
except in cases of crop failures. In
many cases feed crops were planted
but the yiedd was reduced through
weather conditions or from insects.
Under these circumstances Mr. Shay
recommends that the herd be reduced
so that the remaining hogs
will be full feci.
