ee of low prices for fartn products in the *'"
s_ Nineteenth Century in large measure W'1U"
to the opening up of extensive areas need:
n- to agriculture and expressing the be- 1
ic lief that such relatively rapid increas- J tors.
f?l es in the supply of farm products in teres
d- tlie future were not urobable. Show- I wliie
ing by comparative statistics the rate lmPr
0f at which the demand for cotton goods "J
ai is increasing, lie expressed the belief licve
it> that "we may look forward to a time an.v
a- in the not distant future when the conv
t.. world will call on the American cot- consc
a. ton planters for 20,000,000 bales an- "1
i? nually," while, at the same time, mens
i(? there would he an increased demand muni
1C at home and abroad, for cotton seed mete
products. Vet he did not counsel the a"d
growing of cotton to the neglect of of ju
other crops, but advised tl at the in- 'ion
( erased production needed to keep 'din
pace with the demand of the world there
* should be secured by more intensive wise,
cultivation and hv the growing of oth- throi
er crops with cotton. ?d "
Speaking from the viewpoint of one there
in touch with the relations of supph tice
's> and demand affecting different com- comj
modities in the United States and in shall
10 foreign countries, Mr. Finley. with a cr w
view to making suggestions of practi- jnstn
cat value, emphasized the opportunito
lies in tbe South tor the production "I
of grains, hay, fruits, vegetables, live- 'n? s
m stock, poultry and dairy products, raihv
iiu giving special attention to the market but ?'
in opportunities for Suotheru grown publi
a cabbages, Irish potatoes, ajid sweet publi
potatoes. lie showed that farmers in whie
r?t some localities in the South were exeef
er shipping these products hoth to North- agaii
in ern and Southern markets and were 4*I
us finding the business so profitable as opini
to warrant increased production. ate n
r- Referring to the dependence of ag- to b
:d ricultaral prosperity on supply and gnnti
it demand, he pointed out that the eon- "I
iy dition most favorable to tbe farmer the j
m >*' one in which wide-spread prosper- injus
ie ity prevails in our own and other to a\
lie lands," and that ability to reach a of s>
er market was equally as important as dual.
the existence of the market. The feelii
e- farmer, therefore, had a vital interest great
nt in the highways from his farm yard entit
er to the markets of the world. After railv
i- referring to the importance of good powc
country highways, Air. Finlcy pointed tunit
id out that the interest of the farmer in Sout

on road from his farm to an indus- them

of ed all tlie railways ami waterways wont

out that adequate transportation whie

ie production and that tlie present rail- i,e s,
te way facilities of the South were now ,,onit
little more than sulTieient for meet- j
ini* present demands, and were rela- COnsi
.. tively less than those of some other aiuj
1(j parts of the country, Mr. Einlsv jjie ,
Jv said:
T "It is manifestlv to the interest of nuur
r. this section that the railways, as in- ulat"
jjj strumentalities of transportation, mak<
u{ should be hnilt tip and strengthened. reiq
a. Even a superficial glance at those sec- aiari
tions which are most prosperous will ?<]
m demonstrate that their prosperity is (.0mj
a largely based upon the perfection of ment
1S their transportation facilities. Those reast
pioducing communities which have o]air
the easiest, quickest and most reliable killii
r ways to market can sell quicker and dami
1S more certainly, and thus possess ?<1
