NEW ENTERPRISES Southern industrial reports to The Manafaeturmr; Record during: the past week included announcements of important and large developmental enterprises. They contain references to nan varied undertaking'! in min is, milling, manufacturing, ship ouiHixir, municipal improvemnets. railway betterments, etc. The Becord details this interesting aaesrs and includes mention ef: fl i.SA0,OM company which will build soill and industrial city for develop- in r. 91,000 acres of timber land SJifsissippi; $809,000 eotton-manufac- -t.ir-.ng enterprise in North Carolina 4ii-i(r $100,000 to its capital for rtuildms; an additional mill of 25,000 jpir.Jles and 600 looms for producing cloth; $100,000 company planned for .wiranizaiion to kill and pack meat in North Carolina; company to build 1100,000 factory and install machin ery for manufacturing chestnut wood extract in Virginia; $50,000 company to build shipyards in Georgia; $50, 000 hosiery knitting mill in Virginia, etc. One solid carload of catalogues from a Western mail order house re cently arrived at Charlotte in Gov ernment mail sacks and the contents were taken to the Charlotte post of fice for distribution by parcel post to various other sections of the Caro lina. By sending this carload of mail-order catalogues to Charlotte by freight, the Western mail order house gained hundreds of dollars in postage. It took several years to pass a parcel post law and when it was passed local merchants all over tha country were protected through the "lone system." I The mail order houses put up a great fight to have a one flat-rate for parcel post packages, so they could send a package from ocean to ocean as cheaply as they could ten or twen ty miles away. So, when we passed the parcel post law we very wisely created the cone system, making packages pay according to the dis tance they travel, which was equit able. It is appaling to see such shipments from mail order houses great books of. hundreds of pages and illustra tions, coming into our State, each book, costing a dollar or more to pro duce and then to realize that our own people here in North Carolina are supporting this outlay of money by their own purchases that rightfully should be made of Tar Heel mer chants and hometown business men. You cant see what yon are buying, by the printed words near the illis tra lions tell you that "it is just as good as the best, but cheaper.? We hold no brief for this or that mer chant who pays his taxes here, has his money invested here and furnish es empliyment to scores of people, de aling in reliable goods that will be exchanged or your money back, bu we do contend that this spirit of pat ronizing mail order houses in the North and West just because they send you an elaborated 300-page with gaudy covers and tell you they save you money is a drain and a curse up on any, community. tnariotie uo server.

The coastal plain may be separated from the Piedmont aec- j tion by drawing a line from Balti- more to Washington, thence to Rich-1 mond, to Ealeigh, to Columbia, to' Augusta, to a point just south of At lanta, to Montgomery, Ala., thence sharply northward. The territory west of Alabama is of course included in the Mississippi Valley. The Pied mont aection extends from the line mentioned to the foothills of the Alle gheny Mountains and the foothills of the Appalachian Range. The Moun tain region is largely covered with timber. It is mostly utilized for graz ing purposes, with some agricultural activities in the valleys. Its wealth depends largely upon grazing, upon the development of its water power. upon its forestry and upon the ex ploitation of its mineral resources. Reforestation and regulated grazing will play a large part in its future welfare. Reforestation will be some what assisted by the act known at the Weems bill, which provides for the acsuisition of areas for forestry purposes by the federal government under the avowed intention of pre serving the headwaters of naviga'ole streams. Of the three divisions the Piedmont section has acquired the greatest amount of civilization and activity. It is a land of small plantations. It is land largely given over to one crop cotton. It is a land whose soil has been badly depleted and which is fast passing under the -tenant system. Generally speaking the great coast al plain was avoided by the early set tler.

Following the civil war its vast forests of long-leaf veiiow Pine were exploited for rava! stores and lumber. The seat of this industry was originally at Norfolk; then it gradually made its way south ward and was successively located at Wilmington, Charleston, and Savan nah. It is now at Jacksonville, Kla., in time it will ras to Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston. The exploiter bought the timber and accepted the acre as the unit of measure. In those days the land had no value. Today new courthouses, new schoolhouses, permanent high ways and other improvements made by progressive counties are paid for bv the land owners. Taxes are ir ing up and the taxpayers are awakening to the fact that some beneficial use must be found for the cut-over land. L'nless they find purchasers, unless I hers, the land must pass to the state (for taxes.

Aa for the owner of the land, his concern had only to do with the timber and the naval stores. In no other respect had he use for the land. I'very man who seriously considers the problems of the south must cos elude that the three fundamental necessities for a successful agricul ture are education, diversified farm ing and immigration. Diversified farming goes hand in hand with edu cation, and education includes both educating the southern people to real ize the needs of the south and to know the methods of bringing about better conditions and educating those out aide the southern area to understand and appreciate the possibilities and the advantage of the south. The live stock industry is the foun dation of diversified farming and live stock cannot be successfully or profi tably raised so long as the Texas fev er cattle tick is permitted to exist. The elimination of the cattle tick means the immigration of the men who have steadfastly remained away the men from the great middle west who have made a success of cat tle raising and diversified farming. When the southern man has been taught to know his defects and his shortcomings and to appreciate his advantages, when he learns how to put his house in order and to wel come, assist and labor with the new settler from other states, and when the latter learns to forget his preju dices and to appreciate the south and j its opportunities, then will the prob lem of colonization largely solve it self. All agencies in the south must join together in tarrying out this work. It is a gigantic task and cannot be done by ahy single agency. For the past 30 years one organization after' another the railroads, the land com panies, the real 1 estate menhave tried it in their own way and to a limited extent at some place and at some time. These efforts have met with varying degrees of success, but not once have they been lastingly successful. The first step must be the eradica tion of the cattie tick, so that live stock raising may become profitable and diversified farming a fact. The next step munt lie the awakening of a just interest in the south through the proper diffusion of correct infor mation concerning the south. Once this is done, the problem of settling and developing the south will solve itself. N.
