Laurens, Dec. 6—The Laurens Busi ness league this week adopted an am bitious program that has for its pur pose the advertising of the farm lands, which constitute ond of the main as sets of any county dependent on agri culture, which, after all, is the back bone of all industry. It is realized that something must be done in order to keep up the tillage of the farm lands if prosperity is to abound. Mi gration of Ifcbor and of farm tenents has made serious inroads into the ranks of both white and negro fann ers. The plan of the business league is to list land «options and place them than they can find elsewhere, perhaps, when the productivity of the soil, the advantages of improved highways, churches are considered. Thousands of acres of moderately priced lands arc available for flew settlers in Laurens county right npw, and this fact is to be stressed and pat in attractive form through mediums of advertising and through personal effort by representatives delegated- to promote the scheme.* These special inducements will be carried mainly to the farmers and others who may wish to invest in farm lands who have recently dispos- J d of their farm interest in sections f North Carolina where big tracts and hundreds of small farm homes have been absorbed by promoters. In Henderson county, North Carolina, there is said to be a promising field for obtaining families who have sold out and are seeking new places of residence with' the view of continuing their vocation of farming. It is be* lieved that many of them will be at tracted to this section when put in possession of information that living conditions in this section are compara ble to any in the country, coupled with the fact that the land is cheap in price and capable of fair to profitable returns.
