The laicncss Of the season

make cotton bears sick. II has
set many a lar ncr To thinking
al the disadvantage of having all
his agricultural eggs in one
basket. a farmer who depends
almost wholly IN cotton for his
livirg mus, expect 10 use good
or poor rations according 10
whether the weather ~ iavora.

such farmer bad other crops,
no. all his crops would be likely
TO bc seriously affected by tho

weather that would be bad Tor
one crop might be good Tor
some other.
Suppose that. instead of a
farmer depending entirely on
cotton raising. he had u small
amount al stock. The NC,
weather. while bad for cotton

Though the farmer could not

that old saw. the more rain the
more grass for the cattle. By

would feel that the weather was

Another Example,

10 tho last issue of the Ga

"Onc Example" was published
an article showing how one poor
man ~ proh,ahly working away
from the all-cot,on plan of farm,

that his methods would result IN
his owning farm OF his own
before many years.
Under the caption OF The

report Of the results they have
