NEW ERA OF FARM AND INDUSTRIAL PROSPEniTY IS FACING OUSY DIXIE
ATLANTA. Oa.. Feb. 28. A new
day Is dawning for Dixie, bringing as
surancea of permanent prosperity anJ completion of development work now under way, according to well-Informed men who are close to the agricultural
and Industrial life of the South.
; The South Is enjoying unprecedent
ed prosperity, but It will not stop short of permanent prosperity and
' complete development of Its varied re-
sources.
? With banks filled with money, eas-
ily obtained at good rates for sound .projects; with Industry stabilized; with agricultural Interests on a firm
er and more diversified basis; with
(he number of unemployed negligible, , afcd with capital and labor at peace, everybody south of the Mason and
, Dixon line Is working with one object to complete the development of. DixleJand, thereby Insuring lasting pros-
v penty. : Optimism, based on progress made " within the last few years and on ex- , cellent prospects for continuing development work, prevails throughout '.the South. The Industrial and agricultural Southland of today Is as different . from the South of a few years ago as experienced men In these lines can make It. Considered from a purely monetary standpoint, the war was worth billions of dollars to the Southeast, business men point out. Much money was spent locally In construction of war camps and plants; through acquisition of government securities .by the people, and through development of Idle and waste lands. Agricultural reforms, adopted because of war time necessity, probably will prove to be the most valuable thing resulting from the war for Dixie farmers believe. . , Appealed to by the government for increased food production. Southern planters dropped cottonheretofore a one-crop product and turned to dlversified farming. Introduction, too, of Improved and labor-saving machinery, because of a shortage in farm labor, was made. An educational campaign was necessary, but today the movement for
diversified crops is a success. It was the turning point In the South 's development, planters and business men alike agree. Great credit for the success of this movement Is given to the county agents, who have "not only shown the southern farmers how to raise and produce vegetables, truck crops, field crops and meat crops, but have been successful In getting the farmers to raise such products on a large scale. Before the war, Dixie annually imported about 600,000,000 worth of corn, oats, hay, flour, meat and meat products, dairy products and canned goods. Today the south Is very near on a self-supporting basis. Last year,, the 11 states comprising the cotton belt produced 135 per cent more wheat than in 1909. These same states during this period increased ' their oats crop 133 per cent, hay crop ,128 per cent, potatoes 117 per cent and sweet potatoes 67 per cent. Hog and cattle raising has developed proportionately with the increase in corn and othep grain production. New packing houses and stock yards are eing established throughout the south. , Blooded hogs and cattle, found to be more economical in the production of meat, are fast replacing scrub animals. As an indication of the increase in cattle raising in the south, Mississippi in 1914 marketed only 86,229 fat cattle, while last year it shipped 157,237 animals, an increase of 181 per cent. Another source of confidence in the future is found in the large amount of cotton held by Southern planters to bull" the market. Conservative estimates place the amount held for higher prices between 4,000,000 and 6,000,000 bales. Prices ranging from 35 to 40 cents a pound are being demanded by owners of the fleecy staple. The naval stores market, held in a state of uncertainty because of can- . cellatlon of government contracts and , extension of export restrictions, is expected to take a sharp upward trend with the signing of the peace treaty.
Dixie's pine forests produce more turpentine and rosin than those of the rest of the entire world put together, averaging between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000 annually. This year's production probably will exceed $70,000,000, dealers predict. , Real .estate men can see nothing but good times ahead. A building wave, second to none in the South's
Every city, town and village south of the Mason and Dixon line lias experienced a shortage of dwelling houses. Now that government restrictions on
building have been removed, people

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S. Foremen
steel workers of the Hrg Island shipyards who went on strike last week
asking for pay increases from $64 to $70 per week, and from $52 to $58 per
week, according to the importance of
the duties performed, have again been offered scales of $66-and $54, respec
tively, by Charles Fiez, director-general of the emergency fleet corpora

' One of the largest real estate concerns in Atlanta and the South, predicts a steady flow of real estate transactions. - Farming on a large scale Is attracting northern capital. Florida has several of these big farms. Notable among such undertakings is revealed In the recent purchase of a tract-of land approximately -86- miles square near1 Palm Beach by H. S.

HEALTH TALK BT DB. VALENTTNB MOTT. All the blood in the body coes thru the kidneys within a few minutes. Therefore the kidneys are very important in health or discsss because they filter out of the blood most ot the waste (poisonous) substances and the blood then flows on toward the heart thru the kidney vein. What the kidney takes out of the blood forms urine. So it is very important to have the water tented by a chemist, at least once a year. I would suggest that everybody send a sample to Dr. Pierce's Laboratory in Buffalo, N. Y and receive back a thorough chemical and microscopical test, free of charge. ' I The kidneys and bladder suffer from the wear and tear, ana we get chronic inflammations sometimes indicated by backache, painful voiding of water dull, heavy feelings. Perhaps the urio acid is stored up in the system in excessive amount, and consequently when the urate salts am deposited in muscles and joints one suffers from Lumbago (pain in back), rheumatio pains, tout, etc. Nothing will act ao nicely as "Amine" (anti-uric-acid i a recent discovery of Dr. Pierce's which can be had at all drug stores. "Anurie" washes away the poisons, cleanses the bladder and kidneys rendering them antiseptic consequently one is soon cured of lumbago, rheumatism, gout, and the body is put into a clean, healthy state.
