Diversified Crops.

In spite OF all the urging on the part of
the press rs we'll as of agricultural So
cieiies, but very little mas been done in
Louisiana by the agricul;urist to render
himself self supporting independent.
The old ante bellum style of cultivating
one or at most two staple crops. while
everything consumed ia brought from a
distance and bought at high prices.
mostly on credit. is still generally in
vogue. in spite of the apparent unrcason-
ableneas OF such a system. Hence tho
lack OF prosperity Of our agricultural,
population.
Still all small food crops do well in
our generous soil. and il only requires
industry and energy on the pa,, of tho
Louisiana farmer to render himself al
most entirely self-snpporting.
In all climes on this known earth The
problem for the cuitiyat0r Of tia so;I has
always been to produce his owq Tread
and meat. If he does that h!a va,.,ipts
from his staple crops will he aiAos; en-
tirely clear profit. There are many root
crops, such az turnips. rutabagas, etc,
which do well In our cliclate, aud would
II more extensively cultivated, serve to
fatten large Dumhrr of hogs. Tn the
production Of his own bread and meat
undoubtedly lies the secret cf the far
mer'a prosperity. Louisiana suil, al
though it has been much abuse! in the
past. still seems with fertility. and
yields bOuntifnl returns, when RATIONAL
ly and industriousIy cultivated.
The times Of the non-residpn: tlou-
sand acre planter are well uigh past
and Intensive farming. larger yield to
a smaller area must take its place.
Industry. energy and perseverance,
with our fertile soil and genial climate:
should make Louisiana I garden SPOT on
the face Of the pl anet.
II our agrictural population will earn
esfly study the lessons, the time will
soon come, when through intelligent
farming, Louisiana will blossom like
