In addition to produce, Southern * staples and meats were also featured. Southern governors have issued procla mations urging greater production and consumption of home-grown products. This year’s event by Winn-Dixie’s 660 stores was the most extensive in history. FARMS and FOLKS By L. C. HAMILTON Clemson College Extension Information Specialist John T.

What he says about us is not all good, but we believe his criticisms are honest. Cer tainly they were intended to be constructive. As associate editor of the Kip- linger Newsletter, and as farm editor for the Mutual Broadcast ing System, Harms is an astute observer of the national scene. What does he think of the South? What is its future? "It is my humble judgement,” Harms said, “of all the area of this big country of ours ... the South has the most to gain” from what he predicts is a com ing boom in agriculture through out the country. Harms says this agricultural boom, to come within a few years, will be based upon a 30 percent increase in population by 1980, which will give the coun try 250 million people, and great ly increased exports of foodstuffs oversease. How will the South fit into the “coming rural boom?” “As a man who tries to watch all sections of the country, there is no question in my mind that the center of gravity in the farm world will move to the South,” he said. Harms continued, “I hear southern leaders talk this, but, frankly, I don’t see them WORK ING at it . . . although there are exceptions. My impression was that some of the major progress which has already been made . . . has been more luck than concerted design and work.” This condition, Harms thinks, prevails throughout most of the South. He says that although great things are taking place in the South, and that progress is being made, people in other parts of the country don’t know about it! Harms says some of this fault is his, but most is ours. Southern ers, he says, aren’t prone to pro mote, we’re "self-conscious” about telling our accomplish ments, and we don’t do enough forecasting so outsiders will know the great things that can happen here in the near future. Harms says this condition in the South is in sharp contrast with what is happening in other places where greater efforts are made to “sell” their states as the best potential, industrial and agricultural states. This condition in the South is caused in part by an “informa- tion gap,” Harms said. No other agency is better qualified than the Universities to fill this gap. But he says no Southern univer sity is presently doing the job adequately. Harms suggested that this de ficiency could be overcome by making greater efforts to survey the economic potential of the re gion and making the results knon nationally through such agencies as his. Southerners should be more outspoken, Harms said. They shouldn’t be afraid to stick their neck out. In making projections the rest of the country is running rings around us. This is our image, as seen throught the eyes of a bright —- and friendly — young Northerner whose business is projecting images.
