Second Section BABSON SEES BIG CHANGES IN SOUTH (Continued from First Page) sturdy Americans of whom we all may well be proud. But the indus- trial south is not dependent upon cotton mills, Iron and steel plants, great chemical plants, mills and fac- tories of all kinds are now found in this section. New factories—stimu- lated partly by the increase in rail- road freight rates—are springing up every day In Alabama, Texas, Louisi- ! tinued development of the southern NEW BRITAIN HERALD | perts, supported by the farm journals and local papers. (2) There is a tendency toward co-operation, and| one of the by-products of this move- mont should be to raise the general| level of intelligence and energy among th growers, (3) The con- textile Industry will create an influ. ential class who are directly interest- ed in improved methods of growing. (4) The further progress of diversi- fled farming and animal husbandry will tend to shift cotton growing into stronger hands." Important Cities. Mr. Babson is also very enthusi- astic as to the commercial future of the south. Norfolk, Wiimington, Charleston, Savannah, Brunswick, ana, Georgia, the Carolinas and Mis- slssippl. Considering its strategic lo- cation for Latin American export trade and its nearness to the center of population in the United States, the south is bound to grow indus- trially, Chances Are Good. “As I explained when discussing a certain section of the west, the wheat grower is up against the difficulty that as a nation becomes more pros- perous it consumes less wheat per capita. The reverse, however, is true of cotton, sugar, fruits, nuts and most of the other products ~which are raised In the south. As people be- come more prosperous they use more cotton, cat more sugar, fruit, nuts and the like. Hence, the south Is sure to prosper agriculturally as it has sunshine, rain and phosphate as well as seaports, rallroads, fuel and every natural advantage. Cotton Prices Up,, “Iiguring the cotton crop as a whole, it will bring the growers 50 per cent or 60 per cent more money than last year. This means not only a gain in actual purchasing power, but a marked change in sentiment. The cotton states wili have the means to buy and will be' in a mood to buy. ¥rom present indications, the localities to watch are Georgia and South Carolina. In these states wee- vil damage may be rather serious. The following list is based upon an cstimate of the leading crops and the probable season's prices are com- Jacksonville, Tampa, Pensacola, and others have—in his opinion—an op- portunity almost equalling that of New Orleans, If the men of these cities would only show the faith and energy of the people of New Orleans. ““Those who have confidence in the future of New Orleans,” continues the statistivian, “as a field for busi- ness expansion, will be interested in the statistics of commerce for the fiscal year, 1923, According to fig- ures compiled by the shipping board, New Orleans ranks second only to New York, both'in tonnage entered and tonnage cleared. This record is particularly gratifying in view of the great effort which the city has made to improve its port facilities, New Orleans Grows. o “During the war period, general business in New Orleans made tre- mendous strides. *Of course, some of this advance was cancelled by the 1920-1921 slump; but even at the worst stage of the reaction, business was more than double that of pre- war days. 'The ypward trend has now been resumed and 1 forecast that during 1923 local business will run' 20 per cent or more over a year ago. The immediate outlook, there- fore, is fairly good; and for the long pull, I recommend this city to those who are considering southern loca- tions. “When considering southern sea- ports, do not overlook Mobile. This city is on the upward trend, both for pared with last year: 1922 Alabama Arizona Arkansas California IPlorida Georgia Louisiana Mississippi Missouri North Carolina Oklahoma South Carolina Teniiessee Texas Weevil a Men “There is no question,” continued Mr. Babson, “that the weevil is a se- rious probiem and that its ravages have steadily increased, both in area affected and amount of damage. The alarm is not without some founda- tion and it may be a good thing to get people waked up. The potato bug has been controlled in Maine and the cotton weevil can be con- trolled in the south. As long as cot- ton is treated like a weed, as long as this crop is left largely in the hands of shiftless tenants, the weevil will win, What the south needs is greater efficiency. In other words, the agricultural experts and the bet- ter class of growers are able to deal with the weevil, but they cannot han- dle the job alone. They cannot make up for the laziness and stupidity of the shiftless. Optimistic Factors, s “There are several optimistic fac- tors in the outlook. (1.) Excellent work in research and education is be- ing accomplished by. the United States department of agricultural ex- STOMACH UPSET GAS,HEARTBURN INDIGESTION !!!

Foreign trade figures show this city to be near the top. Big Lumber Business, “A number of things seen in the south,” concluded Mr. Babson, “have attracted my attention. Among them is the reforestration which cértain of the big lumber companies—such as the Great Southern Lumber pany at Bogalusa, Louisiana—are un- dertaking. - We have been taught to believe that lumbering is only of temporary benefit to a section; but this need not be so. If these experi- ments in re-foresting are successful, lumber and pulp will be permanent products of the south. In the north such re-foresting may be imprac- ticable commercially, owing to slow growth; but in the south with the heavy rains and warm weather re- foresting may be commercially profit- able. If so, the time may come when all of our newspapers may be printed | upon paper made from southern pulp. A number of experiments in iother lines are now in process which if successful will add great wealth to {the south. The experiments with ! grapes in Florida, the possibility of striking oil in certain states where none has yet been found are merely illustrations of the latent wealth of these wonderful states. Then there is the beautiful climate of winter which is not only a great agricultural asset, but an industrial and commer- cial asset as well. Moreover, wages will always be less in the south than in the north owing to a lower cost of living and a lower cost of doing business. For the same wage most peoply had much rather live and work ' in the south. Only higher | wages in the north can keep people there. The same air and sunshine which causes the millionaires to scek southern climes is causing wage workers and others to do likewise. Moreover, it is doing no harm to have these millionaires come down here. It opens their eyes to the op- portunities of the south and will make it much easier in years to come for the south to get that capital | that it has always so much needed. So I say to all America: ‘Watch the south grow.'" General business as reflected by the index of the Babsonchart is run- ning at a new high of 5 per cent com- store. Keep it handy!
