"I - Increase in South's Grain Production. . For some years there was a considerable decline in the attention; i given by the South to the produc- < tion of grain and foodstuffs, hut : with a strong tendency of recent'1 years toward a greater diversity in agriculture, the South is getting i hack, relatively, to the position it held in 1SH0 in the raising of grain ' and live stock. For tunny years after the war the South almost 11 abandoned, as comparts! with con- ! ditions prior to 1S(>(), the raising of i its own food supplies, depending almost wholly on cotton, tobacco i and sugar as its main crops. While ' giving increased attention to cotton production and greatly enlarging the average annual yield, it is at j the same time giving renewed at-! tcntion to cereals and to live stock. jl lie tweed 1NX7 and I SOU the south \ raised an aggregateof G,"2b?,o01, l-o < 1 . _ l i c ousneis 01 corn, wheat and oats, while for tlie 1<> ending with the production of these cereals in-j! creased by 7d7,101 bushels, | equal to 11 .S per cent., the total < lieing <>/).">< ),<><)l?,().S J bushels.? < k Manufacturers' Record. .

Tin- strength of the Southern agricultural situation is illustrated in a comparison of the value of crops per nere as given hy the census of 11)00; Though the value of agricultural products has very largely increased since then, the relative valuations per acre are alxmt the same, and these official figures illustrate the possibilities of the South as compared with other sections. Taking the entire country, the general average value |M*r acre for different crops was as follows: I'otton t $15 Tobacco 51 I Louisiana sugar 52 j Lice 22; Peanuts 14 Wheat and oats 7 ; Corn, hay and forage 8 Barley and flaxseed 1); Diehard fruits 13 I Bye Hi v Irish potatoes ' Sweet pita toes s These figures show that of South.- v rii erops, such as sugar, rice, tohao- \ co ale I sweet potatoes, the average 1 value per acre was very far in excess > c ?f the average of wheat, oats, corn md hay, which are the staple crops j >f other sections. Against 87 as the | c iverage for wheat, the South s cot- |li ton crop averaged 8l"> per acre. If!1' the question he raised that 87 per j ^ icre for wheat and 8S for corn arc j ^ less than the average in the Central! i West wheat and corn-growing re-Ji ;ions, where these are the stapled rops, it may hi- said in reply that Mo per acre is far less than thejiiverage of cotton in the more fertile v md hetter-cultivated cotton lands j >< >f the South. JThe South. I Twenty-live years ago Judge Kelly ! ( >f Pennsylvania, after a tour through 1.) he South wrote to the Manufae;urers' Record on account of his ^ journey through the South. c Judge Kelly says among other > ;hings: "The South is the coming 1 K1 f 'erado of American adventure. ^ rhe development of the South means the enrichment of the nation. The . States south of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi with their oOO.OOO j square miles of area, contains a wealth great enough for a continent. ' X wealth so vast, so varied in its dements and character, so advantageously placed for development, r that these States alone can sustain a c population far greater than theJpopillation of the United States today, l.
