SOUTHERN 

 HORIZONS 



This is the first-hand story of the 

 eaders who are remaking the South 

 ind the materials with which they are 

 vorking. Here you meet men who are 

 growing cottonless cotton plants; men 

 vho are skimming oil off the waste 

 iquors of the paper mills to make soap 

 md paint ; men who are bombarding the 

 itoms in natural gas to get undreamed 

 )f products. Here, too, you will learn 

 about the "silkworm colony" in Texas; 

 ibout ramie, the wonder fiber, in Flor- 

 ida; about sweet potatoes, dried by the 

 ton for cattlefeed in Georgia and 

 Louisiana. Mr. Haynes describes sim- 

 ply and vividly the fascinating new 

 products of the researches of the Cotton 

 Council, of Government Southern Re- 

 gional Laboratory, of the Textile School 

 at the University of North Carolina; of 

 the new, cooperative Southern Research 

 Institute. He makes a bold suggestion 

 as to how TVA power might be better 

 employed to develop Southern raw ma- 

 terials. For that is his theme Southern 

 resources developed by Southerners; 

 greater wealth for the South; valuable 

 new goods for us all.
