Be;o Y we reproduce few of many
letters II ceiVed by The COlored Ameri-
n, praislng the good points of the
paper, and accompanying lauda
by what is still more encouraging
and nscc' ssary-the each. 1t Is not
our intention to "plait our own,
hair" so TO speak, but we wish TO let
she pessimist and prophet Of evil see
that the Intelligent aad race loving ele.
ment Of our ra"e is standing by as with
their means, and that there are among
us plenty people who can find merit in
. Negro journal. The critics and grOWl-
ers nnd fault with the really honest
aud straightforward race paper, bat
never help to make 1t better and strong
er, as they could do If they possessed
proper pride snd public spirit. They
need an occasional lesson In practical
business methods and moral standards
such IS these letters teach. The aid
here indicated should offer q sil mt but
stinging rebuke to the chronio kicker
and unbeliever in t. Negro's capRc ty
for enterprise. It may not be known,
but 1t is fact that these com munica-
tions come from ministers, teachers,
lawyers, o"ctors, and lsborers-all class
ss feel that they have q spok esman in
The Colored A nericsn, and real Ze that
they have mission to perform in lend
Ing helping hand toward keeping it in
existence. Particular attention Is cali
ed to the wide area covered by these
lett. rs, showing that The q Ilored Amer
lean travels through every section, and
that is inf1Iencs reaches the "fo1r
corners of the earth. Read carefully
what our constituents Fay of Us and

DIVERSIFIED CROPS.

The Farm and Ranch enc of the
leading farm Journals of the South,
holds practically tae same views Oh
diversified farming that the Graphic
holds: 1t says:
The Cotton Planters Journal carries
the following motto on its title page:
Cotton is the profit crop of every
Southern farmer who farms: diversl-
ded crops are the staff Of the home.
This sentiment is thoroughly in keep
mig with the obsolete doctrine of
past generation that has retarded
southern progress more than any 9th
er cause 1t is not inappropriate as an
EXPRESSION from the cotton planter )
point of view, but is misleading. In
net profit, cotton is one of the worst
paying crops in the South There is
profit in it where the conditions ar"
favorable. but tho profit is small under
any conditions. Many crops embrac
ed in the system CT diversified farm
Inc give four or five times the net re-
eurn from cotton Stock forming,
sume6 on the farm, Is FIR more prof
ftable than cotton X is true that
more agricultural skill and better bus
mess capacity is required is required
in growing and utilizing other crops
than in cotton. therefore the Journals
motto amended to read, COTTON is the
profit crop Of every Southern farmer
who don't know how to grow anything
else for profit" etc. wonld be correct
beyond criticism We know many
southern farmers Who farm, and
realize several times the profit from
other crops that they could from cot
ton.
There con he no doubt that the
cetton crop is one Of the greatest
money producing crops in the United
States, but it also costs the ferH>ef5 :
great dea. ef money t. ngoGaae It.
and there is no dcubt whatever but
what if the same carital and labor
were expended on Other erons a great
er return could be made than is realiz-
ed from cotton.
