DIVERSITY YOUR CROPS.
Do You Prefer Large Crop at Low Price
to Small Crop at a Good Prlce7

Chester, March 15.-Editors Cou.
rier: In spite Of all that has been said
and written about diversified farm
ing, it seems that there is going to
be large crop of cotton planted this
year. Now, am not exactly a
farmer myself, but l was raised on a
farm, and my people are farmers.
am, therefore, interested in the farm
ers, and | wish to say few words
about farming.
would advise all to plant less cot
ton and more bread. stuff. You will,
of course, say this is "lhe same old
story" And so it is. 1t is the same
sermon that has been preached for
years from the platform and through
the press. But that is no reason why
it should be stopped. 1t is needed
more to-day than it ever has been.
The high price of cotton last fall
should not tempt our farmers to
plant their full crop in cotton. We
cannot judge the future price by
what was paid for last years crop.
| do not say the price of cotton is
going to be low next fall--it may be
IL cents for aught know. Certainly
it will not be if there is another
enormous crop made this year. But
even fiftcen-cent cotton should not
cause the farmers to neglect their
other crops. Grant that cotton may
reach IS cents per pound (and it is
very doubtful if it will reach 12
cents at the very highest), will not
groceries and the necessaries of life
advance in proportion2 Therefore
it behooves the planter TO make
a careful estimate of what it will
take to run his family, and to plant
accordingly, being reasonably sure
that his acreage in grain, ETC., is
amply sufficient, with an average
yield, to feed his family and run his
farm. With an increase of cotton
acreage the price of the staple is sure
to go lower. This increase of cotton
acreage means decrease in the
acreage for grain, and the two COM
bined mean-what Simply low
priced cotton and short crop of
grain, and that the farmer will have
to give up his COTTON to pay for his
guano, and then buy brcad-stuff on
lien at time prices.
In my opinion the farmers who are
planting unusually large crops of cot
ton this year are running a great
risk, and may be sorry for it before
next spring. A majority of the
farmers have probably decided upon
the amount of land they are going
to plant in cotton this year, and
maybe before this letter finds it way
through the press they will have
their crop started. While the price
stands one chance of going up, it
stands many chances of going down
perhaps lower than it has been in the
last two years. If we plant all cot
ton and the price should go up, we
will make by it; but if the price
goes down we will lose everything.
On the other hand, if we plant plenty
of corn, vegetables, etc, and the price
goes up, we will lose but little, and
if the price goes down we will be
much better off. 1t is always best to
be on the safe side

The Truth as to the Exposition.

Governor McSwccney will sond out to
tho Governors of tho various States the
following letter, which will explain
fully the Exposition situation, so th,.
there will DC no misunderstanding about
the matter:
Your Excclloncy: In the closing hours
of the 56th Congress the appropriation
of S25O,Oo0 for Government building
and Government exhibit at tho South
Carolina Interstate and West Indian
Exposition at Charleston, S. c., failed
to pass 1t was intended that this
amount was to be expended only for the
purpose of making a Government exhibit
and the failure of Congress to provide for
Government representation at Charles
ton will in no way interfere with tho
general plan and scope of the Exposi-
ton. The appropriation could not have
been used in any way in aid of the Expo
siti"n Company and the failure of tho
appropriation does not effect the re-
sources of the Exposition. I feel sure
that you will sympathize with mo in tho
feeling that the Exposition at Charles
ton has been Disseminated against in an
altogether unreasonable way, in Wow of
the fact that the same Congress which
refused to provide for Government
exhibit at Charleston voted for far
larger sum in direct aid Of cxpositions
to be held in other parts of tho country.
trust that you will provide for suita-
bic exhibit from your State at the Expo
sition in Charleston and beg to assure
you that tho absence of Government
appropriation for the South Carolina
Interstate and West Indian Exposition
will not affect the broad character and
scope of that undertaking. The benefits
of the Exposition at Charleston to the
commercial and industrial interests of
all the States of the Union cannot be
questioned, and it is my earnest hope
that your State shall be represented in
this great Interstate and West Indian
Exposition. Very truly yours,
