WAR ON THE BOli WEEVIL; ,
CAMPAIGN 109 GOOD GOADS
Interesting IV!ethids for Helping the
Farmers right Cotton Foe
for Arousing Interest in
Read Improvement.
The advent of the boll weevil into
the territory of the Southern Kailway
System caused it to take up
work to combat its ravages. To this
end a cotton culture department was
organized, with a chief and a force
of field agents, each one of whom has
had practical experience in growing
cotton under boll weevil conditions,

Mississippi where the weevil has already
appeared or threatens. More recently
the work of this department
was extended to Southern Georgia
along the lines of the Southern Railway
and the Georgia, Southern and
Florida. The agents of this department
work in harmony with those of
the United States farm demonstration
bureau and with the state authorities,
doing special work with the
individual farmer in instructing him
in the best ways to raise cotton under
weevil conditions and in showing
him how he can diversify his crops
to the best purpose.
The management of the Southern
Railway System has long held that
the improvement of the country read
meant prosperity and advancement
alike to the railroad and the resident
of its territory, afcd especial benefit to
the farmer. Ten years ago, in 1901,
it started out its first Good Roads
train, which spent six months building
demonstration roads, holding road
conventions and agitating for better
highways. There is just ending the
tour of another good roads train, also

along this line.
EFFECTIVE ORGflMN
FOR MfflOPHHI WORK
now the Land and Industrial Department
of thfe Southern Railway
Is Conducted.
As an agency for the solicitation
of men and capital for factories and
for other industries and for immigration
into the Southeast and for gen
eral promotion and development worK,
agricultural and industrial, within the
territory of the various lines of the
Southern Railway System the industrial
department is organized.
The Land and Industrial Department,
with jurisdiction extending over
the lines of the Southern Railway,
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, the
Georgia, Southern and Florida Railway,
and the Virginia and Southwestern
Railway, has direct charge of matters
pertaining to general development.
At the head of it is the Land
and Industrial Agent, with headquarters
at Washington and with a substantial
corps of assistants and large
offices located there. Along the lines t
of the roads are district offiees at
St. L6uis, Mobile,. Macon, Bristol, Columbus,
Miss.; Asheville and Columbia.
The agents in charge of these
offices give their assistance to all ef- i
forts to promote, in any direction, j
the growth of the territory adjacept ;
to the railroad lines, find locations
for industries or help in their organi- :
zation, aid homeseekers or colonizers
in securing the lands they wish, work
with the farmers and others in solv- '
ing the. problems of markets or crops
which come up> gather information
about the opportunities or facts which
will advertise their districts and in
every possible way extend their co
operation and that of the railroad to
the people of their territory in development
efforts. The work of these
agents, as that of the Washington office,
has to do with both the educational
and other efforts with the people
of the territory and in the bringing
in of new people and new. cap*
ital.
From the Washington ana St Louis
' * : immiamHnn
offices mausinai
agents travel throughout the North
in advertising the Southern's territory
and in solictiing farm settlers and;
manufacturers to locate aloug its
lines. An office is also maintained
for this work at Harrisburg, P^, and
for several years a European agencyhas
been -established with headquarters
in London. The agents. of . the
company include specialists in timber,,
minerals and clays, in industrial locations
and in other lines.
For the Queen and Crescent Rente
a similar line of work is carried on
by the Agricultural and Industrial
Agent, located at Chattanooga, Tenn.
In the early days of the Southern
svKtpm it was believed prop
l\an?uj
er that, while the needs of the territory
in the way of immigration aad
of the development of the farm resources
were not to be neglected, special
effort should be made to call attention
to the immense natural resources
and advantages for industries
of various kinds. The reports from
The communities along the lines represented
in the T>and and Industrial
Department show that in the decade
from 1900 to 1910, $400,000,000 wero i
invested in industries. A good pro rHnn
of this sum represents the
of the Industrial Department.
At Dresden there is in the course j
of construction what is said to be
the largest radiator in the world. {
This radiator is intended for the motor
cf an airship of 300-horse power, ;
and is made entirely of aluminum. 1
