EVILS OF DIvERsIFICATION.

With the text, s'EYils of Diversified
ton, "a Texas correspondent of the Gal
weston News tells tale about certain
merchant and diyersifying farmer. It
seem that some time ago the farmer, In
making arrangements with the mer-
chant for his years supplies, mortgaged
his two mules. Since then times have
changed with the farmer. He began to
bring eggs and chickens to the poultry
men in town and sold them at top price.
The money went into bank. Later on
he sold his wheat and oats With their
proceeds he redeemed his mules and
still had money to spare. That, too,
went into bank. Early IN the present
season he brought to town several bales
of cotton and sold them at nine cents
pound and his cottonseed at S12 tor.
By that time he had become capitalist.
He felt so good that he went to his mer-
chant and offered to lend $500 on good
security if he needed it. This was turn
ing the tables with vengeance. The
merchant knew that he had no right to
be.angry, but said that it seemed to him
little impudent the way the money
was flashed in his face. 1t will be long
time before all the Southern farmers
are able to enjoy such evils of diversifi-
cation, but they are getting there. 1t
has been quite a while since 10-cent
cotton was any where in sight. During
that time the farmers have learned that
there is money in other things than
cotton. They will make no mistake in
abiding by the practices which have
enabled them to raise mortgages with
out the aid of1O-cent cotton.
