Diversified Farming.

The advice relative 10 diversified farm
ing does not apply wholly to the cotton
planters. 1t is especially applicable to
! the great wheat-growers of the North
west. The Journals OF the wheat-growing
section are calling the attention of their
| readers to the fact thatthe lesson taught
them this year in some localities is that
in diversified farming alone is there an
annual source Of profit.
The wheat crop this year failed over
quite a large area. IL Is fortunate, of
course, that it became known that there
would be a failure in time TO permit the
planting of other crops-corn, oats, and
vegetables.
A good wheat crop cannot be expected
every year any more than good cotton
crop can. There are certain TO be failures
once in a whale, and n sometimes happens
that failures occur tFgo or three years in
| succession. The loss of one crop is gen.
orally great hardship, but the loss of
two or three in succession, or within a
very few years, means ruin.
The only sure protection against disas-
ter is in diversified farming. II the money

sufficiently to keep up the supply of bread
and meat.
Many wheat farmers whose crops this
year were destroyed by the Hessian fly
are talking about not sowing any wheat
next season. That sort Of feeling is TO be
expected. 1t will wear off after awhile,
and unless farmers can be made to see
the advantages of diversified farming
they will plant wheat as extensively next
year as they did the present year.
Those who devote nearly their whole
time to one particular crop always hope
for an extraordinarily profitable year.
An exceedingly good year puts them, OF
course, long way ahead; but a good
year-a year when the crop and the prices
are both good-eomes very seldom, and
what is made during good year is lost
during bad years.
The diversified plan offers no great
prizes, but 1t promises in a number of
years to make those who adopt it much
better off in this worlds goods than those
who exhaust all their energies on what
they call money crop.

The Spanish scourge.

1t is doubtful if outside of Spain there
is a comprehensive idea of the actual con-
dition of affairs in the cholera-infected
districts of that country. Monday there
were more than 1000 new cases and
nearly 1000 deaths. That is the highest
number of new cases and deaths yet re-
ported for any one day. The report which
we publish this morning shows a slight
falling off in the number Of new cases and
deaths, but who can say that the report
tomorrow will not show more desperate
state Of affairs than has yet existed? The
disease has hardly got a foothold in Mad
id yet. If it gets firmly established there
a death rate greater than any that has
yet been reported may be expected.
From the provinces where the scOurge
exists all who had the means to get away
have fled, and, doubtless, in their flight
spread the disease. Those least able to
take care of themselves and Of the sick
were left behind. Doubtless there is a
great want of doctors, nurses, and medi-
cines. The nigh death rate, much higher
than was the death rate in France last
year, is due perhaps TO the lack of medi-
cal attention and sanitary regulations.
The scOurge, as far as can be learned, is
not being fought in systematic way.
Every province, and every section of
every province, is fighting the pestilence
after its own theory.
The Herald calls attention to the fact
that the portions of Spain that are being
rayaged by the cholera were devastated
last year by floods. 'Since the close of
last May" says the Herald, ''the pesti-
lence has brooded over the flooded area of
Spain, without making any very formid-
able encroachments on other districts"
The inundated districts were, of course,
largely covered with driftwOod, and the
subsistence Of the floods was followed by
rank vegetation. May not the rOtting
wood and the decaying vegetation have
something to do with the virulence of the
disease IN Spain?

The Predic ted Motraon outbreak

Tomorrow is the day fixed by GEN
Howard as the day on which the Mormons
will probably make a demonstration of
hostility TO the Federal government. 1t
is the anniversary Of the day on which
they entered Salt Lake valley.
1t is probable, however, that Gen. How
ards prediction will prove not to have
been we'll founded, The MoTmons are
willing enough, doubtless, to resist the
government, but they know that they can
accomplish nothing, which would be of
advantage to them by so doing. They hate
the government so intensey Chat language
fails to express their feelings. If they
had the power to ruin it they wouldn't
hesitate a moment about using their
power. ..se-n.
When the present administration was
inaugurated they had a, hope that they
would be permitted TO do pretty much as
they pleased. They Were soon unde-
ceived They found that the purpose was
to enforce the laws against polygsmy
more vigorously than ever before. They
then got mad and they have been mad
ever since. But what can they do? To
defy the United states authorities would
bring about little war, which would put
an end TO polygamy quickly. If they
don't defy the authorities . good many o.
the Saints will find themselves in the peni-
Tertiary very soon unless they consent to
obey the laws. They don't want to go to
the penitentiary, and they don't want TO
give up polygamy. The only thing left
for them TO do is to pull up stakes and go
to Mexico. They must either do that or
abandon polygamy. The Democratic
United States Judge Of Utah, Mr.. Powers,
knows his duty, and he is doing it without
fear or favor.

The Immigration Question.

| A good many OF the most enterpristng
and progressive people OF the State are
asking what the Legislature proposes to
do in behalf of immigration. They expect
that 1t will do something. At the last
meeting OF the State Agricultural So
ciety committee was appointed to pre-
sent memorial to the Legislature ask
ing for legislation 60 assist in bringing
the better class Of immigrants to the
/ State. 'ie
The adoption OF this resolution is an in
| dication that progressive and liberal
! minded farmers favor q generous appro-
priation to influence immigration to the
State. These farmers want the unoccu-
pied lands cultivated and improvements
placed upon them. They want these
things done beoauee Of the benefits that
will accrue TO them, and also because
they feel pride IN their State and want
to see It advance ia wealth and population.
There isn't progressive farmer in the
State who Wouldn't like to have thrifty
immigrants TO settle in his neighbOrhOOd.
He knows that every additional acre that
is put under cultivation, every panel Of
fence that is built and every house that's
erected in his county increases the value
Of his property and lessons his burdens.
A county that is thickly populated with
a thrifty class OF people generally has
good roads, good schools. good society,
plenty OF places of worship, and light
taxes, and where these advantages exist
there is always large demand for land
at excellent prices.
The State could not spend money more
prOftably than in the interest Of immi-
grafton Of the right sort. The States
wealth win increase ia proportion as its
resources are developed, and $4,000 or
10000 spent this year in securing thrifty
and intelligent farmers may be worth to
the State 800. 900 in five years. 7-s
1t may be said that If Immigrants want
to come to Georgia they viii come with
out being urged. That is what some of the
let-well-enough-slon people of Florida
and Texas said years ago. What would
be the condition of those two States If
their advice had been taken? They would
be without most off the railroads, the
growing towns and, villages, and the
thriving farms and groves which they
now possess. They were advertised in
the right way and The result has been
wonderful. The prosperity they now en-
joy promises to continue. F'Ygra
These States, however, possess no ad-
vantages over GeofgiaS and Georgia
would get as many inunisrpnts rs either
of them if the proper efforts were made.
Why not make the proper efforts? We
stated yesterday that there is not much
prospect Of getting foreign immigrants to
settle in the South. Immigrants from the
Northern States, however, are looking
towards the South. A few days ago 100
! Connecticut families settled near Dallas,
Tex. Why should not Georgia make an
effort to get share ofthese Northern iTnmi
grants? The question Of immigration is
about as important as any oJner question
now pending before tn legislature, and
| our Legislators wild agree that it is if they
will give it ce-eful consideration.

The Object of Revenue Reform.

HFVIt NC Hb5htngJ07l FO8t IDell,l
The revenue reformers do not desire to
break down or cripple American manufac-
lures. They believe in fostering and extend
ing home Industries. They do not, however,
believe in protecting certain specific interests
to the detriment of the general welfare. They
believe that by an intelligent and judicious
adjustment OF duties market can be found
Tor the oyerproduction which is now the prn-
clpai cause of the business prOstration
throughout the country. The Republics Of
South America furnish an outlet for our over
burdened markets, and with the proper legls-
latlon we can secure the greater portion Of
their trade. This an element Of the tariff
revision that should be kept in sight and con
sldered carefully when the subject comes up
for discussion at the next Congress.
