Diversity of Crops.

The first organized effort to sub
stitute diversity of crops for the
exclusive cultivation of tobacco to be
made in Montgomery county, was
inaugurated at meeting held by
some fifty or sixty planters at st.
Bethlehem, at which the Red River
Truck Growers Association OF st.
Bethlehem" was formed, with H. E..
Bryan as president, S. j. Brown,
vice-president, and J. P. Bates as
secretary. This movement is the re-
suit of the present unsatisfactory
condition of the tobacco trade
throughout the entire dark belt, re-
sulting in low prices for the farm
ers for their weed. The purpose OF
the new organization is to raise
enough vegetables in the st. Bethle-
hem section to ship at least carload
of same to Northern markets each
day of the season. Several hundreds
of acres have already been pledged,
and many others will be promised by
the planters interested. Another
meeting of the association will be
held soon to perfect the organiza-
ton. The farmers are becoming
greatly interested in the movement
looking to a diversity of crops
throughout that section and an
abandonment of the exclusive cult
vation of tobacco 1t is assured
however, that enough tobacco will
still be raised to supply the demands
from the section.
