Virginia's possibilities as a state are boundless. Her rivers, her moun- tains, and her agricultural outlook is one to be proud of, and we are glad that Virginia is encouraging so many improvements. Today the manufacturing plants are moving toward the South. From the Mason-Dixon line southward to the coast we have a climate which is the best climate in the nation. Therein lies the keynote to the rapid growth of the South. Ponce de Leon's frolicking imagination left to us ai dream, dear to all Americans, of the perpetual fountain of youth, and do we not see fulfillment of his dream in a more material form perhaps, come to us in our beautiful Southland? Our rapid growth from a devasted bleeding country in 65 to a throbbing wide-awake paradise in 1927. The key that unlocks Paradise is climate, and the South holds the key. Thirty

J. Hill, the great railroad builder, once expressed his view of New Orleans when he said, Kick over a bar- rel of flour at Minniapolis, and it will roll down hill of its own motion to New Orleans. Texas, the mighty empire of the country, is as rich in natural re- sources as it is vast in extentg with a population energetic, aggressive, and broad minded to the extreme, it is building up its commerce, its agricul- tural and its industrial interests. It is different to suggest in what part of Texas, or in what city of Texas the greatest progress is being made. for when one sees Texas rivalry of Florida fruits and truck farming, his horizon widens, and he begins to get a faint conception of what can be done for Texas in religious activities, in industry, commerce and agricul- ture. Arkansas, long cursed by the impression of the Arkansas Traveler tales, is joining Texas any may yet vie with Texas in industrial and agri- cultural activity. And then pass on to Oklahoma which has been one of the marvels of modern times. The settlement of that state has been one of the out- standinig events in American History. A large proportion of the people who went into Oklahoma were from the South, and to a large extent, they were men of christian apsirations. Education went hand in hand with religion in company with vast oil operations and general business advance- ment. Though Tennessee has not boasted of its progress, its progress has been worthy of boasting. It is a beautiful state, a land of magnificient mountain ranges, of superb valleys, of many streams and rivers, of hydro- electric potentialities, of rich farm lands. It is a state in which cattle raising is so dominant that a motorist traveling thru this state from end to end, last year, said that he had never seen so many fine cattle anywhere, except in Holland, as he found in Tennessee. It is a state of fruits in abundance, of wheat and corn and cotton, with other great activities in dairying and in raising chickens as well as a state of great mineral and timber resources. Our educational progress has been in keeping with our material advancement. Yet Tennessee has barely scratched the ground as compared with what it will do in the future. Kentucky, the far-famed blue grass region of the Southland, has more coal than has Great Britan. It has great stretches of virgin hardwood of many kinds. It has a soil not surpassed in productive power in all the land. It has now surpassed all other states in the rapidity of the growth of its output of coal. But there is so much yet to be done, so much even yet to be utilized in Kentucky, that the achievements of the present are a bazatelle as compared with what the future can and will produce.
