Diversified Farming.

II the farmers in the Northwest
could or would produce the hams. lard,
bacon, butter and eggs that have been
transported here from other states they
would not feel the decline in the price Of
wheat that they do.
Money saved is as good as money
made, and much better than money
made and not saved. The truth is, the
consumers here have been compelled to
send to other states for very great por-
tion OF the provisions that should be
produced here.
That the farmers in the North Pacific
will he necessitated to encourage and
practice diversified farming to much
greater degree in the future than they
have in the past seemsa wise conclusion.
As it has been said that "the Lord
helps those who help themselves" we
venture the suggestion that we bere in
the North Pacific must undertake to
supply our own wants in place Of trying
TO produce grain for export. rt.-Times-
