Wytheyille Dispatch, ex-senator WITHERS
editor, talks 10 the farmers as follows:
II Is universally conceded that agricul
ture, being the first, Is still the most i'm.
portant branch of human industry, but
many OF our farmers are Just beginning t.
appreciate the importance Of diversifyine
their crops as the surest means OF promo.
ting prosperity.
But few seem now TO appreciate the i'm.
p0rtance OF manufacturing and mining In
dustries TO the cultiyators OF the soil.
Without these proper diversificaiion of
agricultural labor Is difficult II not impos-
sible. Many OF the products Of farm are
so perishable that they will not bear trans
portation 10 q distant market, and even
standard crops are so heavily taxed by the
transportation expenses rs 10 leave little
profit 10 the farmer. But as soon as mining
or manufacturing on an extensive scale Is
inaugurated In community the farmers at
once feel the benefit OF the new industry,
They then find remuneratiye sale for
many products of the soil which can be
produced with comparatively little labor,
but which could not previously be carried
TO distant market.
Indeed, no class OF our community Is as
much interested In the development OF our
mines and the establishment OF manufac-
tories In our midst as Is the farmer. The
more money farmer can make on his
place the more the market-value OF bis land
is enhanced, and every one win admit that
farming 10 be most profitable which finds
! market at home for everything which
,an be produced on the farm. II we could
'dd 10 the corn, wheat, and meat grown on

products which we might sell |
