Germans.

Berlin. oct 20.-An inspired article
in the North German Gazette regards
the Anglo German agreement as a re
assuring sign for the peace of the
world" Germany, it is added, does not
take upon herself the obligation of as
serting her influence where other pow
ers have aIreads acquired special
rights
The tone Of the article suggests that
the agreement IS welcomed as a pro-
lection against the exclusive claims OF
Great Britain in the Yang Use valley.
The German government thinks the
AneIO-GeTman agreement contains
nothing the United states cannot sub
scribe to- since the United States has
steadily favored the open door, the
territorial integrity of China and equal
advantages to all the powers there
No Other power was consulted before
the agreement was reached. because It
was deemed best that two great powers
come forward with an agreement as an
accomplished fact and then invite the
other powers to subscribe to the prin-
ciples of the agreement One nation
could not have done so alone, without
arousing anita gOnism. Two great pow
erS could.
The informant Of the Associated
Press added that no particular circum-
stance caused the agreement, and that
Germany does not expect an occasion
10 arise for the joint action indicated
in para graph three of the agreement.

CROP DlvERslFIcATloN.

Crop diyersifcation in Indian
Territory will solve many of the
problems of living.-Tahlequah
Arrow.
Yes, diversifeation is a fine
thing for the farmers to develop.
There is more money and more in
dependence to the farmer in a dl-
versifed crop than there can ever
be in any single crop. A business
man would not think of opening
grocery store and selling nothing
but coffee, or sugar, or meat, and
yet they are just as much staples
in his trade as cotton is in that OF
the farmer. The farmer should
cultivate his land with view to
covering as many lines of trade as
possible-just as the merchant
stocks his store.
There is always cash market
for farm products and the farmer
who has some product to sell at all
seasons of the year will inevitably
secure a better remuneration for
his labor than if he has but one
product and is forced to put that
on the market when every other
farmer is offering the same. Cot
ton, and the single crop idea, have
welded the farmer to a credit sys-
tenn which offers no hope of indie
pendenee. A crop which requires
almost constant attention during
six or eight months and then only
yields 500 or $50 per acre on the
market, is not a safe crop, consid-
ering the uncertainties of seasons,
and certainly not profitable one
at any time. There is hardly g
crop that can be named that is not
easier of cultivation, and few thai
yield a smaller income per acre.
Diversiflcation is the hope, no
only of the Territory farmer, bu
of the agricultural classes through
out the south. 1t offers indepen
dence and competence, while Kin!
Cotton offers only existence ant
credit-the latter. of course, OF
mortgage security.
