Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
The indications are that the South
ern farmers will have very prosper
Gus year if they have in any consid-
cradle degree diversified their crops
The present condition of the market
justifies this prediction. The spring
in the South has been somewhat
backward, and there has not been
quite enough rain, but no one can
doubt that the Southern farm pro-
ducts will be in great demand next
fall. Each year demonstrates the
wisdom of those agriculturists who
take up farms under the genial skies
of Dixie land. Here they are enabled
to raise everything marketable in
abundance without personal dlscom-
fort and without the fear of crop
destroying drouths, frosts or insects.
The worse that can possibly betall
him in his ventures is overproduc
ton, but, on the other hand and by
way of compensation, he will never
starve nor have to complain against
the soil or the climate.
