THE WARNING TO THE SOUTH The comments of the Wall Street Journal on the warnings of Mr. MeAdoo that the railroads will not be able to transport foods to the sections of the country that do not feed themselves well deserve attention of Southern farmers. The Journal perhaps emphasizes a little too strongly 'he lack of transportation so far as the South is concerned because it forgets that the cars that come to the cotton bolt for cotton need not come ! empty. Nevertheless, it is beyond denial that if the South greatly fails to produce food for itself during the cur i nt year, devoting itself selfishly to < >tton production to the exclusion of foods, it will receive little sympathy next winter when the stocks in the tantry run low. For half a century Southerners have been boasting that in no other part of the country can so many food stuffs be produced with so little labor, the versatility of their climate and soil has been their con slant theme and, seeking to induce immigration and sell lands, they have dilated upon the long summers and short winters. The boasts have been substantially true. It is not possible for the Northern and Western farmers to raise so many crops as the j Southerners can raise and they can wort, in the fields scarcely half so many week as the Southern farmers can. The less favored sections of the United States are demanding now that the South "make good." They are telling us that if we depend en- j ijr u|iuu j? nwiKit- money crop, nog- j looting to stock our smokehouses and cribs as we may, we must take the chances as to getting them filled by outsiders. We have learned during this winter that there are times when money fails to do its office. It has Tailed to buy coal and to buy sugar because the railroads first failed to bring these necessaries to us. Where it has failed as to two commodities this year, it may fail as to a dozen next winter?as to bacon, eggs, beef, wheat, lard and most of the things that we are accustomed to import for our tables and that we can grow in our own fields, gardens and barnyards.?The State.
