Th? fact that the population of the United States ls increasing more rap idly than Ita production of,food la of PjICUUSr interest to tho south, for it ls In the fertile resources, of this section that ?the solution of the problem lies. There ie enough untitled land be tween Maryland and Texas to yield crepe of vegetables ample for all the American-people through centuries to como, lands ideally suited to truck running. ' There are enough idle acres in the same territory to make up the prosent shortage te the? country's ? meat supply and also to j relieve, In large measure,-the ever lnereastn g de mand for grata. Without touching this vast reserve of soil, ?lie tarma of the south today, if conducted on scientific linea, can do much jo ara-, plentsh the dwindling ieo4 supply. jj jj .But the South, like the country at large, has fallen short of its oppof tunUy in th!? res&H.* The Muuufwt* tarera' Record Interestingly notes that "tt , fifteen southern states-Alaifoupia, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia. Kentucky, Louisiana, " Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Caro lina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia-in ali but two of which cotton ia raised, were raising . as much corn in proportion to popu . ?att?s1 ss was raised in that area be fore the war, the so&i?t's annual corn crop would be a billion bushels in stead nf eight or nine hundred mil lion, and if proportionate production obtained as to wheat its annual wheat crap would In- opo hundred and twen ty-three minion bushels instead of ninety or a hundred nirHlon." We are told furthermore that in 1469 the .outli raised 52 per cent, of the corn or tho country, but that In 1309 it raised only 10 per cent, ot the total, while the per capita production of the int tor ?o?? ~?5'tr:c~ty three ir.d ] ty-slx hundredths buKhels compared | with thirty-five and fifty-four,, hun f dredtliH. bushels fifty years before. ? It is thus evident that' in the. pro duction of grain the south has not even kept pace with Its-ante-bellum . 'cord. " Despite the far-teaching Im pro>.*nont in agricultural methods and ?he great incentives which recent year? have brought, this section is comparatively less productive ot food stuffs now than Jt was half a century ago. This situation may be variously accounted for. aa the Manufacturers' Record suggests. It ls due In part, no doubt, to "the attention that has been given to cotton growing, the Increase in the cotton crop In the fifty years having been at the rate of one hun dred and forty-two and two-tenths per cent" The section's rapid indus trial growth Is another , factor that most be considered. ''Tile number of wage earners trt southern factories," as {he jftecord shows, "Increased be tween HMO and 1909 Not the rate ot fifty and eight-tenths per cent; Ute number of-wage earners in mining In creased between .1902 anti 1909 at the rate of ulnety-e'lgat andi seven-tenths ' per cent.; w%iW the ifidreasa^^L.the number ot pers?hs operating . forma - waa onl -' sixteen -per cebu* '* The important fact, hofrever, la that oar population has multiplied far I sacre rapidly than, our food produe-1 tl??. To whatever this* condition may be due, it must be changed If the south is duly to prosper and win ita1 rightful pl?ce lo the nation's economic Iaffaira. ? atora corn, moro wheat, more of all the necessaries ot life, aunt be raised. The woodron* variety of oar agricultural resources mur', be turned to biUer account. Thus the mouth wilt lissome the country's great V.o-e bouse and will, attain the power and usefulness to which she is ne.turelly destined. ' .*.
