And what will help the south will help every other section of the union. That the south is healthy qnd desirable from an in- vestment nd settlement standpoint is demonstrated by the dollars and thousands of settlers naw m4king their way th‘ er. Louisiana is a striking example. For eign investment capita] is not tax- ed in that state, of thousands of dollars are being poured into the commonwealth from Diinais,, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michi- gan and other sectians, largely for the most profitable of ail invest- ments—the reclamation of wet prairies. unused soils are now producing corn- the crop of the northwest—bearing 40 to 60 bushels to an acre on land that costs from §25 to $75 per acre. Today the nine cotton growing states of the south are producing more comm than wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota, Kansas, Colorado and Pennsylvania. “Those of the northwest who are sufficiently of this great work of reclamation ean find practical information at the forthcoming United States Land and Irrigation Congress, in Chicago, No- j yember 19 to December 4.” ' In speaking of the fortification of the Panama Caual, he said the ad- ministration policy should be upheld by every loyal American. “A few weeks ago I saw that great work for the second time, and it would fire where is h and of the south, more totally false tlie heart of any red-blooded Ameri- | can to observe the vim, the determin- ation, the intensely patriotic en- thusiasm of the men on the job— from highest to lowest.
