Since ♦ he war, the development of this re gion has been held back by the sparse ness and poverty of Its white popula tion and by lack of educational facili ties ahd good roads. These, with the malarial misconception of the advan ♦ages of this section, have kept out immigration and foreign capital. The way will be open for the de velopment of the coastal plains re gion just as soon as our people un derstand the essential factors for the Solution of ,he Problem and begin to i apply them. Good Roads Vital Among these factors a system of good roacs is of the very first im parlance. Nothing <an be done with out means of transportation and com muntnation. No self respecting fmmi grant is coming here and invest his money if the road between his home and his nearest market is a series ot mud holes. The scheme recently launched in Columbia by the State Automobile Association is the most practicable and hopeful I have heard of and I recommend its study and sup port by all Interested in the develop ment of the State. P Of equal Importance Is the provis : ion of good school houses and an ade 1 q 1 ua, °. s >' 8t em of rural education, |Crossing agriculture and home eco nomlcs. Adequate educational faclli tics however, cannot precede, but must follow good roads. Sanitary conditions must be pro vided by adequate drainage and by the education of the people to look after their surroundings in order to prevent the breeding of those disea*e carrying insects, mosquitoes and flies. Better Crop System A well balanced crop system must be worked out in connection with the farm demonstration forces of the State. TJiis system must take into consideration the presence of the boll weevil, and the necessity of employ ing early varietes of cotton and a sys item ot culture that will insure sue cessful cotton production under boll weevil conditions. It must also pro vide for a scientific rotation which will improve the soil. It must provdo fof all the live stock which can be profitably pastured on the land, for the proper feeding of the animals din ing the season when the pasture Is inadequate, and for the utiUzation of the manure on the farm. In certain sections near the larger cities and where transportation faclli ties are best, the dairy Industry must be stresHed. In other sections, empha sis must be put on cat 1 and hogs.
