Hie adoption by both State and Indi
viduals of measures to preserve
these. -
State forest reservations must
be established t6 protect the head
waters of the rivers which rise here
and some provision made to prevent
the reckless burning off of the mbun
tain sides now so common. The In
dividuals who own these mountain
lands must remember that timber is
a crop the same as wheat or corn,
and that it Is to be judiciously har
vested and kept growing, not to "be
recklessly slaughtered and turned
over to the mercy of unchecked fires.
There are many cases In which State
interference with the clearing of
mountain land would be justifiable.
It has been already decided by the
Supreme Court of Maine that the
State has a right to prevent reckless
deforestation of any land when It Is
liable to be. destructive of property
elsewhere. And the deforestation
of these mountain sides means In
creasingly destructive floods along
all the rivers which rise here. The
preservation of the Appalachian for
ests is a matter of Importance to the
dweller along the Atlantic Coast and
to the inhabitant-of the lower 'Mis
sissippi Valley, as well as to the peo
ple who dwell among the hills.
Recognizing, then, this prime nec
essity of forest preservation, the far
mers of this section must come next
to adapt their system of farming to
the lands which they have to culti
vate! There is much land in this re
gion eminently suited to the growing
of grain crops, but the great crop of
this whole mountain country is grass.
And to utilize this grass profitably,
live stock are needed. The develop
ment of the poultry Industry in the
last few years has been something
wonderful. Similar development will
doubtless take place with swine and
sheep, and under favorable condi
tions, with beef cattle and horses.
There is every reason to expect that
In comparatively -few years this
will also be one of the great dairy
districts of America.
Fruit growing Is another one of
the special industries which may be
confidently counted on for this re
gion, and with the present low price
6f suitable land and the high prices
of good fruit and the great demand
for it, fruit growing Insures remark
able profits to those who engage In
it IT"! O m nAwn nnt) Vh t ACia.1 4 lr A TITO TP
While live stock may be profitably
grown, however, In districts without
good roads, profitable fruit growing
demands good transportation facil
ities, so the profitable fruit sec
tions will always be limited to those
within easy reach of good roads. This
brings us to the next great need of
this section: the development of
transportation and- communication
facilities. A veritable crusade for
good roads Is a crying need through
out practically all the hill country
.and more especially In those more
mountainous portions where there
are rich lands -which can never be
made desirable places of" residence
until they are put into communica
tion with the outside world. Good
' wagon roads, more railroads, and the
establishment of telephone lines may
Justly be regarded as prime neces
sities in the proper development of
this section.
The. establishment of proper school
facilities with adequate provision
for the children who live in the more
isolated homes, is another problem
which must be worked out with In
finite care and patience, because It Is
at once by far the most important
and probably one of the most diffi
cult of solution of all that confront
this region.
The utilization of the now wasted
water-power by the farmers of this
section offers wonderful possibilities
for the future. But In the very na
ture of things, each locality or each
individual must work out its or his
own methods of doing this.
VIII. '
Finally, it Is the part of wisdom
to recognize that there Is much of
this territory which is unsulted for
human habitation, especially if the
people are to depend upon agricul
ture for their support The wise
thing to do here , will be to 'induce,
as far as possible, these people to
locate in more favorable sur-
ings and to devote
they are now working at such little
profit to the growing of timber, or
grass. The people who live manv
miles from church, store, or school
house, who have no live atonic nnri
whose, homes are mete cabins devoid
or practically all comforts, and of ton
frightfully unsanitary, ought to be
inauceci, u possible, either to group
themselves in tittle villages where
they can be brought into touch with
tne outside world, or else to leave
their homes entirely and trythelr
fortunes elsewhere amid more favor
able surroundings.

first sale of new primings of the
season was held September 9. Prim

land markets, and receipts are small.
This is on account of the farmers
having commenced to cut the crop,
as the weather has turned very warm
and clear, and the farmers are hav

the tobacco in good shape.
