Says the New York Independent on
the subject OF irrigation: The earliest
agriculture Of Europe, Asia and Al
rica began in arid lands Turning to
America it is discovered that this fun
damental art began everywhere under
like conditions of great ariditv. on
sandy plains and hot deserts. In the
southwestern portion of the United
States, the very last district of the
country TO be settled by white men. in
some portions of Utah, Colorado.
Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and
California, where natural vegetation is
30 rare that it scarcely gives character
to the landscape, where sandstorms
drive over the country, where naked
plains spread under lurid sky. and
where the landscape is often one Of
naked rock, and where adamantlne
forms stand in groves, and the trees
are fossils buried in the rocks, the
most ancient agriculture found. For
in the country thus described, the In
dian tribes in centuries lost to history
cultivated the soil by artificial irrisa-
ton, and developed corn, cotton, po-
tatoes, and other vegetables useful To
uan, while the rich valleys To the
north and east were yet untouched by
agricultural labor.

The Southern States Magazine oh.
serves: There appears to be an I'M
preston among those who have seen
but little of the South, particularly
during the past two years, that the
Southern planter or farmer Is So ALSO
lutely dependent upon cotton that If
that single crop fails, ruin and desola-
ton 10 the entire far rmIng community
will follow While IT is true that II
certain number of cotton planters still
hold to the time honored plsu Of plant
ing nothing but cotton, the time when
this could be called universal con
dition in the South has happily passed,
and a new and broader farming indus
try has taken its place. In 1892 the
cotton crop of the South was valued at
shout 1915. 600, 600 The corn crop
vas valued at s24S, 900 600, wheat over
$40, 900, 900 and oats about 225, 0Oo, 900.
These three products then were Of
equal value with the cotton crop. Add
ing to them the value Of tobacco raised.
over s22, 900, 900; of rice, about SlO,-
900, 600; Florida oranges, about So
500, 900, and of garden truck, fruit and
vegetables shipped North, between
$40, 900, 900 and $50, 600, 900, the total
value OF the products named amounts
to about $40, 900, 900. 1t was only in
The years immediately following the
war that cotton was raised almost to
the exclusion of other products This
was because the people were almost
penniless and cotton was the one crop
nnon which advances could be secured.
The condition of things has been stead
ily improving, and within the past two
years the lesson taught by planting too
much cotton has been 50 impressed
upon every one engaged in it that there
has been a general effort to raise more
foodstuffs, and particularly to provide
the food needed on each plantation or
farm. The Southern farmer to-day Is
not solely dependent upon his cotton
crop for living. In western Tennes-
see. Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana
1
and Texas, while some few are follow
ing the old plan of purchasing food and
planting cotton, the vast majority are
raising diversified crops, and each sue
ceeding year will see this plan carried
out in q greater degree. In Georgia
and the Carolinas cotton raising Will
soon hold second place, as to value,
among the agricultural products OF the
States, not necessarily because less
| will be raised, but because OF the IN
crease in the production OF cereals
fruits and vegetables. Through the
western part of the cotton belt such a
condition will not be likely to exist
but cotton will never again be raised
in place of food products, as has been
aons in the past"
