 Diversifcation and Cotton.
 Some time ago. l promised to give our readers comparison of conditions as thev existed between the states where diversfication has been practised on the farms for years, and the states where inc one crop (cotton) idea has been large lv practised In this article | propose to give the facts as they exist without nav ing any prejudice either way. NOW am sorry to say that yet find farmers WHO think that the man who is preaching dl- Versifeation is opposing the growing oi cotton No true diversifcatonlst mas any such idea or intention. It IS not t'e ,rowinp of cotton that we oppose, but it ,s tho system under which 1t Is be- ing grown to a great extent that "e object to.

amount of cotton that is now being grown on half the amount of land now used in growing the crop and by putting the other half to the growing of feed crops, grasses and clovers for stock, not overlooking the value of the sheep ana dairy COW.
 Let us look at Texas, the greatest of all the cotton states. Texas claims to be growing about one-third of all the cotton grown In the United States. It Is a ques- tion as to how much longer under her present methods of farming she will be able to hold her record. The only thing that enables her now to hold this record Is that she has so much new soil that is constantly being brought into cultiva- ton which renforces her older lands. Talk ing the older farms of Texas, but few of them are now yielding more cotton per acre than are the farms of Georgia and Alabama Farmers in Texas often tell me that the fertility of Texas soil is inex- haustible, that 1t can never be worn out, yet in the face of these statements, there are lands in that state that once grew a bale of cotton and now only produce one third or one-fourth of bale per acre. There are lands in Texas worn out and turned out from cotton growing which are allowed to grow up in brush and briars But the possibilities of Texas from an agricultural standpoint are something wonderful. She only needs what many of her farmers make light of-book farm ing. Texas has great packing plants and her soil and climate are such that she can produce pork for these plants at 2Ia cents per pound. Yet she allows Kansas to grow and ship hogs for her packing houses.
 The Texas Farmer.
 There is no excuse whatever for the Texas farmer to buy one pound of pork or dairy products outside of the state. Why should milk COW in Iowa and Wis consin be worth more than Texas milk COW? Why should Texas buy dairy prod ucts, butter and cream, hogs and hay from Kansas? Why should any Texas farmer have to buy his supplies on credit? These are questions which I leave for the farmer to answer.
 Georgia was the first of the cotton states to take up diversifcation and agricultural education among the farmers, with Ala bama a close second. in this great move ment What has Georgia accomplished! Her farmers, through an intelligent use Of fertilizers. have brought the state up to second place in the production or cot ton, having produced in 1904 $SOOoo'Vo worth. This sum. although large does not nearly represent the agricultural wealth of the state. Think of the revenue derived from her peach crop melons, syrup and the fruit and truck industry ir general. Then there are her great man ufacturing interests. The Georgia farmers have quit making fun of book farming, for they have learned what 1t means to a country. Georgia cotton farmers are the most independent and out of debt of all cotton farmers and if it were not for the new lands that Texas has to dra W upon, Georgia would be the leading state in the production of cotton.
 The Georgia farmers have learned how to not only grow all they need for home consumption. but also how to grow foods for the markets. The dairy business of the state Is being rapidly developed. What

 al and Grain Exhibit car over our | Oklahoma lines. Have been out here several weeks and our present schedule will keep us in Oklahoma until Christmas I am delivering from one to three lee- lures daily. Farmers are taking an uh- usual interest in these lectures and also in the fine samples of grain and grasses we have on exhibit in the car. The op- feet lessons as given are instructive ana are highly appreciated by the better class of farmers But we still find. farmers who are opposed to what they call bo"k farming: however. they are growing lew CT each year.
 Oklahoma Corn.
 The corn crop of Oklahoma is great surprise 1t is something wonderful. Every bin and shed of every kind IS fuli to overfowing and these cannot begin 10 hold the corn. Great ricks of corn are piled up in every town along the rall- rods. The railroads cannot furnish ears to handle the crop. Elevators and shei- lers are taxed to their utmost capacity and it will be months before the crop can be shelled and shipped
 Traveling here and noting these great niles of corn reminds one of the great rheat crop of Kansas few years ago.

 Conditions are Chanuinu

has been said of Georgia will largely ap- ply to Alabama and the Carolnas
 Conditions are Changing.
 Our older cotton growing states never realized the value of diversiicaton until
 many of their fine lands had been worn out. This condition makes diversification
 all the more important. But conditions are
 changing and changing for the better. Great progress has been made in all the cotton growing states. The great south and southwest have the climate and the
 soil to make this the greatest agricultural country on earth. What is needed to bring, about this result is more of this thing that many farmers yet call book farming.
 I am glad to say that the sections where the farmers are burdened with heavy debts and high rate of inteerst, as the cases mentioned in this article, are grow ing fewer each year and 1t Is hoped that soon we will have no more of them. The
 man who runs into debt recklessly and who is paying this high rate of interest
 is not only injuring himself but he Is making slaves of his wife and children. He is a detrment to his country. He stands in the way of progress and de- velopment of the country, and capital Is
 slow to invest in a country where such conditions exist.
 In comparing the conditions of tho great central states of the west with those of the cotton states. we lind in the
 great dairy states mentioned that few farmers have to buy on credit and the rate of interest is much lower than 1t is in
 the cotton states. We also find the land in a higher state of cultivation and the
 fertility of the soil is kept up much bet
 ter than in the cotton section. Thesa states furnish to our cotton farmers obs feet lessons that they can well profit by if followed.
 Hardest to Reach.
 I realize that the farmers who need
 most such articles as furnished by tho agricultural press are the ones hardest to reach, for they do not read: neither do they attend the farmers institutes
 They seem satisfied to go along in the
 same old ruts. little thinking or caring
 what the future may bring to their child
 ren. They do not stop to think of the
 poor run down farms that they are leav- ing for their boys to build up or starva
 on. Such farmers aften wonder why the boys want to quit the farms.
 Now, in conclusion l will give little information as to how our country may be made to continue prosperous. our farmers should get together on this ques- , ton of diversifcaton, read their local agricultural papers, attend and take an active part in farmers institutes. and they should farm their lands so as to have something to sell at all seasons ot
 the year and thus pay cash for all sup plies needed Last. they should keep out of debt. The old saying is, "Out of debt. out of danger and in this day of diversi- fcation and ready cash markets for every farm product. there is no excuse for x | farmer to be in debt. unless it be for land. I again repeat that the farmer who owns his home. who is free from debts | and who has his help within his own l family. is the richest man in America
