Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Star of Empire "Its annual production of coal and petroleum is in excess of the country´s production thirty years ago. "In 1880, - $78.004,637 was spent for common schools in the United States. Today the South is spending close to $50,000,000 annually upon common schools. "It is notable that the value this year (1909) of farm products of the South is nearly One Hundred Million Dollars more than the value of farm products of the whole country in 1890, not including animals slaughtered. Yet during this period of phenomenal development. the population increased only 67.6 per cent. "This wonderful advance in agriculture of 256.6 per cent., in twenty years in the South is a promise of what Southern agriculture, with increased population, is to achieve in the future." South´s Future - Its Farms Predicting a remarkable future for the South because of its coming agricultural development, James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, in an address to the Southern Commercial Congress, declared that the most pressing problem the Southern States have to consider at this time is their agriculture. "The South with the wealth that must come to it. if it follow economic lines," he said, "will soon be living in a period of prosperity undreamed of by the age preceding you. In that period I shall expect to see you credited with more cotton than you now produce and with two or three billion bushels of corn instead of one billion. Your dairy products will mount into the millions, and your poultry products will supply a nation. Of fruits, no man can conceive of what this vast country may do for the world. It has such a variety of soil and climate, its rivers all flow to the sea, - it is comparatively free from extraordinary tempests, and all that is necessary is to have confidence in yourselves and in your soil and take advantage of opportunities that are offered you." - Savanuah Morning News, March 8, 1911. The Richest Part Of The United States In an interview in Chicago recently, Mr. Champ Clark, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, said: "Believe me, the South is the poor man´s land and you will live to see the day when the South is going to be the richest part of the United States."
