Economic Conditions Whicl
of the South, As a Gr
r
! (By W. M. Goodman.)
The South Is destined to become th?
greatest livestock region in America
Conditions which Insure such ascend
ency in this important branch of farm
Ing are apparent to all who have fol
lowed closely the developments thai
, have taken place in reOfrnt yeurs, am
who have some knowledge of th?
causes underlying the changes whicl
Involve continuous progress to thli
end.
In a recent interview with Dr. H. A
Morgan, president of the University ol
Tennessee, which the writer had tin
good fortune to obtain in a search foi
facts relating to this Intensely inter
estlng subject, the principal reason:
why changes have been brought abou
thut will ultimately lead to a complett
revolution lu Southern funning?ex
panding the Industry In all of It:
branches to a scope commensurate t?
its Importance?were given as follow
The Setting.
To begin with," said Dr. Morgan
**>re have a remarkable setting foi
agricultural development.
"The Southern States have?
**1. A longer growing season, In tnos
Instances capable of producing two 01
more crops per year.
"2. The open winters give a grow
lng season twenty per cent of th?
total, umklug this section udmlrabl'
adapted for winter crops such ai
x grains and winter legumes.
"3. The annual rainfall Is high ant
well distributed, making possible larg<
yields per acre under approved meth
ods.
"4. Farm lands cheaper and wlthh
easy reach of lime and phosphute?
the two essentiuls for successful le
gunie production.
r. "5. A wide range of crops, both sum
mor and winter, present an unusuu
opportunity for economical llvestocl
production.
"Heretofore the trouble has beei
with tie cattle tick. Now that tin
tick l as gone, or is going, these con
ditioris, which we have never been able
to use, are available.
Immigration and Economic Condition*
Contribute to Development.
, "We have more ?lands and cheapei
lands in the South and the tide of im
migration is bringing people to thh
section who are skilled stock raisers
So, with the going of the cuttle tick
11 the other economic things arc now
presented?a longer growing season
aqiple rainfall, wide range of crops, In
eluding winter legumes, cheaper land!
and fhe tide of immigration?all ari
contributing to the development of thh
region -ts u great livestock country.
"To prove that these statements ar<
correct," he continued, "last year, a
the International Livestock Show a
Chicago, the grand champions of tin
three beef breeds?Short Horn, Angui
and Hereford?all came to the Sout)
?two to Tennessee and one to Geor
gla. This was a big start followlni
the change of conditions.
"The winter legumes throughout thi
large ureas of the South grow to per
fectlon with the use of phosphate am
lime, where proper preliminary inocu
la t ion has been given when required
These winter legumes are alfalfa, re<
iiuiri, u uimuii inner, sweet ClOVet
alsifce clover and hairy vetch. Beside
the production of winter legumes, ex
tending into summer, we have sucl
summer legumes us soy beans, cov
peas^nnd peanuts.

Natitonal Bank of Commerce In New
York Says Discount Market Rsquires
Standard Receipt Which
Will Protect Loans.
The use of bank acceptances for
financing cotton growers Is advocated
l>y the National Bank of Commerce In
New York as a remedy for the hand'
to-mouth crop-lien system now In general
use. In Its magazine, Commerce
Monthly, the hank points out that cotton
marketing requirements heretofore
have not shared In the country's
credit resources beqause the obligations
of the generality of borrowers in
this field have not been suitable fot
negotiation In the open market. The
burden of financing has lieen concentrated
on a limited number of South*
ern hunks. Such a system has been
responsible in a large degree for compelling
the dumping of cotton on ttie
market almost as rapidly as it could
he (ticked and ginned.
The hank points out that a means of
securing a broader distribution of the
burden has been provided by the Federal
reserve system, which enables
member hunks both to rediscount
louns and to execute acceptances,
which ure particularly sultnhle for
general negotiation. The success of
this remedy, however, depends Inrgely
on the ability of borrowers to provide
certain simple requirements of the
discount market. One of the chief requit
ements, the bunk declares, Is a
uniform standard of quality of warehouse
receipts, which will ennhle

The statements made by Dr. Morga
are based on such facts as are give
j In a bulletin by the Agricultural E:
pertinent Station qf the University <
Tennessee on the relation of tempe;
r ature and rainfall to crop systems an
, production by J. F. Voorhees, Consul
r Ing Meteorologist. With reference I
our growing season. It Is stated In tbl
. bulletin that the states south of Kei
, tuoky and Virginia have an advantai
4 of from twenty-five to seventy-fU
days over the states north of the Ohl
river. This not only gives more tin
for the crops to grow, but gives moi
leeway at planting time and a bett<
opportunity to get the seed bed In tl
best condition. Extracts from th
. bulletin follow:
Farming Methods Not Adapted to Cei
dltlons.
t "The trouble Is that most of us hai
r not adapted our farming methods 1
our climatic and soil conditions. Whi
. Is needed Is a system of farm manag
i ment and the rotation of crops thi
, will utilize the abundant heat an
s moisture that our land receives.
"We must have a system that wl
1 Increase the humus content of the so
3 and a rotation that will keep tl
ground covered In winter as well as I
summer.
i "The old plan of growing only ot
crop a year which is practiced througl
. out' the country Is a great success I
the North, but Is u glaring misfit In tt
. Soi^tb. This Is due to the great dlffe
I ence in climatic conditions. First, tl
; ' growing seusou north of Tennessee
gcnerully too short for two crops I
i one year. Second, the ground is usuu
3 ly frozen In the winter and the wtnt<
. precipitation Is small and Is usually I
3 the form of snow, so that there Is t
inijciaiiic uciuaiiu iur a v> uner covi
i crop to prevent washing. Third, tl
annual distribution of rainfall la ei
tirel.v different from that of the Soutl
r eastern States. Instead of two w<
* seasons we find only one and that Is i
5 the late.spring and summer. There
also only one dry season, which li
* eludes fall, winter and early sprln,
1 Crops put In the ground In the fall (
' spring occupy It during the wet sun
nier season and are harvested In tt
5 late summer or fall. Here the cond
Hons are Just suited to the slngl
s cropping system and the system
suited to the conditions because It wi
a developed under and for those cond
1 tlons. It would be absurdTor an low
1 furmer, with his short growing seaso
and his light winter rainfall, to a
8 temnf to use the double-cropping sy

than for ths Southern farmer to stlc
g to a system developed to fit candltlui
entirely different from those undi
p which he Is working. He must have
* system that fits his conditions If he
to get the most out of farming, an
when he realizes that his condltloi
' are almost perfectly adapted to tli
growing of two crops each year h
' stead of one he will be in a posltlc
8 to live up to his opportunities."

; Inc state warehousing laws, which he
' caused banking Institutions not d

I warehousing concerns to hesitate i
t extend credit on the strength of the
i receipts," the bank declares. "On r<
celling a request for a loan agalm
I cotton the banker's first concern I
that there actually la cotton behln
the warehouse receipt. One of tli
most serious difficulties which bank
particularly thosewhlch are not In clot
locul touch with the situation, hav
, found in the way of loaning more frei
ly ugninst cotton receipts Is that the

uctly what title to the cotton they ha<
In generul It Is true that the holder i
a receipt Is subject to prior liens, an
uncertainty as to their nature and e:

should be In the hands of a -rellabl
warehouseman, who should be lnd<
pendent of the borrower, so that th
latter cannot, while the receipt Is ou
standing In the hands of a third part;
obtain control over the cotton covere
by It.
Uniform Warehouse Laws Nec'ded.
"A reasonable method of Improvln
this situation would seem to be th
application of fairly uniform laws coi
cernlng cotton warehousing wherevc
cotton Is stored. Two Iaw9 hove a
