The second is, that while the farmers of the Northwest have to sell their produce for the lowest possible price, depending entirely on a foreign market, here, with our stores of undeveloped minerals, and immense quantities of timber to be manufactured, the farmer can depend on a good local market for the next hundred years. * * * * * The Age-Herald, Birmingham, Ala., says: “The disposition among Northern and Northwestern farmers to come South is every day becoming more apparent. They long for the salubrious climate and fertile soil of the South. When the South is covered by small farms owned by industrious white farmers, then it will blossom as the rose. The negro shows a disposition to get away from the farm. He is a social creature and loves the society and excitement of the town. He flocks to the furnaces and mills around the city. He can stand heat and enjoys the hot work of the furnaces. He makes more at the public works. He is thriftless and cannot manage, and can’t make farming pay. It is possible that there will be a considerable shifting of places between the whites and blacks, resulting in good to the entire country.” WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS SAY OF THE “SOUTHERN STATES.” The entire attention of the editor and contributors of this magazine is devoted to the promotion of the South as a farming region, and to the distribution of information which will at once attract immigrants, show them where they may with the best advantage locate, and tell them what to expect when they arrive. It is an undoubted fact that many thousands of acres of land of remarkable productive capacity are going begging for occupants in nearly all of the States south of Mason and Dixon’s line at very low prices, and it seems to be the case that the Northern or Eastern farmer of thrifty, economical and industrial habits and with a practical knowledge of his business will not fail to succeed in the South. “The South and Immigration” is the first article in the present issue, and it consists of letters from prominent railroad officials, showing the aids which are extended to immigrants by these organizations. The next paper is made up of letters from Southern banking institutions whose universal testimony it is that a steadily increasing financial prosperity is in progress throughout these States, and the “Letters from Northern and Western Farmers Giving Their Experience in the South” tend to prove the same statement. This magazine is serving as the medium for the carrying on of an enormous and an invaluable work.--Boston Herald. * * * * *
