A poor complexion is usually the
result of torpid liver or irregular

remove. DeWitt's Little Early

Diversity Of Crops.

There has never before existed a
greater necessity for our farmers to
realize the Importance of planting
grain as well as cotton. The high
prices cotton has been bringing have
aroused hopes that have all too slen-
der foundation, and so the planters
are less prepared than ever to meet
financial demands that cannot be met
on seven cent cotton. Now we can
do without great many things, but
we can't do without food, and when
the planter barely covers with the
proceeds of his cotton crop the run
ming expenses of his farm he is in
rather bad fix if be cannot supply
from his own acres the food necessi-

ties for the family, hands and live
stock. Our Southern farmers have,
with a very few exceptions, never
realized the Importance of raising
what they need for home consump-
ton, and have steadily spent all
their profits from cotton and gone in
debt for what might just as we'll have
cost them nothing but labor and
space. With the increased demand
for grain in all the foreign markets
and with the short corn crop in the
West, our farmers will find that their
corn will cost them not less than a
dollar bushel. It does not require
very accomplished mathematician to
realize that OF this rate the cotton
will not pay for the corn. We do not
urge our planters to give up cotton,
nor do We advise them to attempt
planting grain for the markets, but
We do plead for a crop sufficiently
diversified for it to be unnecessary
for our Southern farmer to send to
the West, all of the money he earns.

to pitch their crops next season." II
does look like the farmers ought to
learn by this time that it would pay
them better to diversity their crops
but it seems hard for them to learn
the lesson.
