CAMPAIGN FOR GOOD ROADS
.nterestlng Method* for Helping the
Farm ere Fight Cotton Fee
for Arousing Interest In
Road Improvement.
/V / T ?>; 52SS ^
The advent of the boll weevil into
the territory of the Southern Kail
way System caused it to take up
work to combat ita ravages. 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

No snswer from the boy.
"Didn't you hear me? Why don't
