At the present rate of cutting the lumber industry in these States thirty years hence will be conducted on a very small scale, unless every effort is made to keep lands which are unsuited for agriculture fully stocked with rapid-growing, valuable trees. The future wealth of Mississippi lies in agriculture. No one can travel in the State and fail to be impressed with its vast agricultural resources. The causes for its undeveloped condition are many and complex, but an awakening is taking place and a vigorous spirit in favor of agricultural development is apparent in all parts of the State.
