Some one Is writing on diversity OF crops.
Now, the city man can talk these things, but
What Is the use of a farmer planting diver
sity Of crops when there Is no market for
such things? Look at the butter aud eggs
that are shipped to our markets, when our
home people could furnish nice; fresh eggs
In Texas. Kansas eggs are worth more than
Texas eggs That shows what our market is
doing for home people. Look at the fruit that
is wasted in our State. II would more than
furnish our people with canned goods our
State could work UP our cotton into goods in
sead of shipping II out and then having It
shipped back. Texas needs diversity OF mon
with diversity of brains to take hold Of busl-
| ness right; then Texas would be as grand as
eur grand OLD Fost. l enclose s cents for
