To thia eud a cotton culture department waa oigunlzed, with a chief and a force of field agents, each one pf whom has had practical experience in growing cotton under boll weevil conditions, co cover the dletrtcta of Alabama and Mississippi where the weevil baa Al ready appeared or threatens. More re cently the work of thia department was e? tended to Southern Georgia along the lines of the Southern Rail way and the Georgia, Southern and Florida. The agents of this depart ment work In harmony with those of the United States farm demonstra tion bureau and with the state au thorities, doing special work with the individual farmer in Instructing him in the best ways to raise cotton un der weevil conditions and in showing him how he can diversify his crops to the best purpose. The managemont of the Southern Railway System has long hejd that the Improvement of the country yoad meant' prosperity and advancement alike to the railroad and the resident of its territory, and especial benefit to the farmer. Ten years ago, In 1901,, it started out Its first Oood> Roads train, which spent six months build: Ing demonstration roads, holding road conventions and agitating for better highways. There 1s Just ending the tour of another good roads train, also out six months, operated by the South, em Railway System in Co-operation with the United States Office of Pub' lie Roads. In the years between, con stant attention has been paid to work along this line. [MM ORGANIZATION FOR BEVEUHHENT WORK How the Lahd and Industrial Depart* ment of the 8outhern Railway Is Conducted. As an agency for the solicitation of men and capital for factories and for other Industries and for Immigra tion into the Southeast and for gen? era) promotion and development work, agricultural and Industrial, within the territory of the various lines of the Southern Hallway System the Indus* trial department is organized. The l^aiul and .Industrial Depart ment, yith jurisdiction extending over the lineB of the Southern Railway, the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, the Georgia, Southern and Florida Rail* way, and the Virginia and Southwest* ern Railway, has direct charge of mat ters pertaining to general develop ment. At the head of it is the Land and Industrial Agent, with headquar ters at Washington and 'tfith a sub stantial corps of assistants and large offices located there. Along the lines of the roads are district offices at St. Louis, Mobile, Macon, Bristol, Co lumbus, MIsb.; Ashevllle and Colum bia. The agents in charge of these offices give their assistance to all ef forts to promote, in any direction, the growth of the territory adjacent 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. crop^ 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 devel opment efforts. Tho work of these agents, as that of tho Washington of fice, has to do with both tho educa* tional and other efforts With the peo ple of the territory and in the bring ing ih of new people and new cap ital. From the "Washington and St. Louis offices industrial and immigration agents travel throughout tho North In advertising the Southern's territory and in sollctllng farm settlers and manufacturers to locate along its lines. 0 An office is also maintained for this work at Harrisburg, Pa., and for several years a European agency has been established with headquar ters .in Londoji. The agents of the company include specialists in timbor, minerals and clays, in industrial 1* cations and in other Unas. For the Queen and Crescent Routs A similar line of work is carried oa by the Agricultural and Industrial Agent, located at Chattanooga, Tona. In the early days of the Southern Railway System it was believed prop er that, while the noeds of the ter ritory In the way of immigration and of the development of the farm re sources were not to be neglected, spe cial effort should be made to call at tention to the immense natural re sources and advantages for industries of various kinds. The reports from the communities along tho lines rep resented in the Land and Industrial Department show that in the decade from 1900 to 1910, 1400,000,000 were Invested in industries. A good pro portion of this sum represents the work of the Industrial Department. At Dresden thero is in the course of construction what is said to be the largest radiator in the world.
