As a background of my story and in order that we may sr.. its large meaning in the tight perspective. 1 must first nl all call your alten tiou to two statistical facts. r'iit. iis to the over helmiii,: predonii nance of nu ll interests in the South, Iheeensu-show ing that more than per cent, of our population is iiiral ami that the S.iulh is today t ho one set t ion of A mer ica of w h ich it is true that there are more peo pie engaged in agriculture than in all other occupations combined. Second, as lo the efficiency and earning power of these people here toliire, the last census showing the average annual value of products per farm in the North Atlantic States its ?:si, in i tie ."soum .Mian tie as s, or exactly ."ih per i ear less; in tiie .North Central States its l,n7f, in the South t en tral. .".".; or $.:is per year less. And with this as my basis, I am ready to lay down three or font propositions which I wish to ham mer home to your minds: I. To bring up its earning pow er ?.iim more a year tor eacn .-siuiin- ern farm is the supreme task and opportunity of our generation. . It is not only our supreme task mid ambition, but it is a real iziblc ideal, a workable, practica ble program of progress. ;!. It is not only our supreme tak. and a realizable one, hut is one upon whose success depemN the prosperity not only of the South as a section and Southerners as a whole, but also (and more import aid) the prosperity of you yourself as an individual, and of every in dividual Southerner the farmei im mure than the banker, the mer chant, the railroad iiuin, the law yer, the preacher, the teacher, the statesman. The prosperity of ev ery trade, art, and eralt in a emu inanity anil the prosperity of ev eir individual in the community. from the bov on the street who blacks your shoes to the master mind who organized your railway systems or governs your Stale the prosperity of every man, I say. de pends upon the prostH-rity of the average man, this average man in the South Ivcing a farmer and this is the greatest truth that I hope to bring you to see with me this alter noon. f. And then the hopeful fact the fact that already earnest men and women, working here and theie in dill'erctit lines of endeavor, have developed almost unconsciously the several component partsof a fairly comprehensive and well rounded Hchcme of ruial deve'i pment, a primary and essential part of which is this getting $.Vo more a year j fanning in the Southern Slates-a scheme of education which em brae s young and old, not only the j farm boy in the school, but the adult fanner and the farmer's wife as well. An Appeal to the South' Cummer cial Interests. And now. as the spokesman of the South' agricultural interests. I come to you to appeal for your support, to ask you an citizens and as lenders to join in a great move ineiit for rural development in the South. And I ttm'goinp to base my aignment not on any plea a to what this development will mean to the Smith an a wet ion, or to Southerners as a whole, but upon what it will mean to you a an in dividual. My ln jie is to show you thai your individual prosperity is dependent upon the prosperity of the aveiage man iu the South, this average man I repeat i lieing a far mer.
