Diversified Farming i'm the South
The Road TO Surer and Greater Success
for the Southern Farmer.

some way to get more out of farming
to make the returns more certain?
Diversity your crops.
No crop in the South requires as
much hand labor as cotton. And hand
labor is drudgery. Diversified crops not
only require less hand labor, but they
are easier farmed, easier marketed and
more proftably sold year in and year
out That is the way to increase your
crop money, and after all that is what
you are farming for.
The market offers you innumerable
machines of every description, so you
need have no fear about securing the
necessary machines to cultivate and to
harvest your crops, no matter what they
may be- 1t only remains for you to
select such machines from the many
offered which you know will actually
make the most money for you. That is
the vital point-the one that you should
keep in mind at all times.
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-05-16

bales of whatever weight you desire
from 20 to Is pounds in weight up to
IFS pounds. 1t may be that you want
bales of 100 pounds in weight. It's all
the same An International press will
do the work.
You will find on the top of the bale
chamber of the international hay press,
two hand wheels and screws which
regulate the tension of the springs, con-
sequently, the compression of the bale
chamber and thus the weight of the bale.
So you see you can always get just the
kind of bale you want.
Another thing-a hay press must be
built to stand heavy strain, Unless
the press is properly constructed out of
the best materials, it will soon become
fimsy and useless.
You have never found an International
ba1ing press that wasn't ready to do the
work at any time. 1t is because they are
made right. Practically all the parts
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-05-16

are made of iron and steel, wood only
being used where it proves the most sat
isfactory.
International pull power presses are
operated by drawing the plunger in
stead of pushing it. You see by this
means the work is made positive, conse-
quently easier on the horse.
AS far as capacity goes, international
presses have capacity equal to any
press of the same class and size.
international one horse hay presses
are made with a bale chamber I4xI8
inches; two horse presses with either
14x18, 16x18, or I7x22 inch bale cham
Der.
international hay presses are but one
of number of International machines
built to meet the requirements of
diversified farming.

these many years, and the farmer or
planter has continued to go on in his own
way, running his farm or plantation as
circumstances, conditions and his own
judgment dictate.
1t is not possible for even the wisest
agricultural editor or agricultural col
lege professor to sit in his easy chair
and tell you exactly how to run your
farm.
Too many mitigating circumstances
enter into every individual case; but at
the same time, most farmers and think
ers familiar with conditions IN the
South are firmly convinced that a
greater diversity of crops would with
out question result in greater prosperity
for the South as whole and for most
farmers individually. 1t becomes a per-
sonal question with each farmer.
Have you ever stopped to think how
much diversified farming has done tor
your neighbor-how much it will do
for you? Do you realize that the
brightest future for you may lie in
diversifying your farming operations?
You know that the Dakotas are prov
ing excellent wheat fields and South
Carolina and Georgia are excellent cot
ton lands. But don't you know that the
wheat grower in the Dakotas, as well
as the cotton planter of the South, is
dependent upon the farmer of the mid
die states for much of his farm produce? !?
Any community which produces its own
crops, that is, its own hay, grain,
cotton, ETC., has money in the bank-it
is independent and prosperous
1t used to be that when we thought
of the South, we thought of cotton and
when we thought of cotton we thought
of the South. The cotton producing
country, however, has learned many
valuable lessons. The four and hve-cent
cotton of some years ago has brought
home in striking manner the great les
son that diversified farming is abso-
lutely necessary to the South. Has it

The Good Roads Movement Growing.


Nessrs. Editors 1T is hard to un-
dorstand how any studious man can
norsuadc himself that government aid
70 rood reads is not national neces-
sitv affecting all sections of the
corntrv and all classes, and there
fore demanded as good public policy.
Many of the very foremost. men of
the country have declared in its IA
vor, and the feeling is constantly
growing that it should prevail. Of
course. here and there we find it OPP
posed by specious argument and
strained interpretations of the Con-
stitution, but this opposition cannot
stand in the face of the practice of
the government in road building
many years ago, and at this day in
Porto Rico. where we have construct
ed more highways in the past five
years than did the Spaniards in four
hundred years; and in the Philip
pines, where we are building high
ways every day in the year. There
is more serious consideration being
given to the subject of good roads
to-day than any other that can be
named. and as a question fraught
with vital concern to the internal
commerce of the country and to its
religious. educational and social ad-
vancement. it is a sure thing that
the call for national aid will have to
be heard.
1t is not the farmer alone who is
affected by bad roads; trade condi-
tiOns are disastrously affected where
ever bad roads exist. Good roads are
necessary to every vocation and ev-
cry interest. Tie cost of bad roads
has been so often presented that
repetition would not strengthen argu-
ment. The main fact is the clear
TACT that bad roads are a curse to
the nation and a disgrace to our
boaStcd Americanism. There is ne
ccSsity for government aid to better
roads, and it ought to be extended
with the least possible delay. In
every civilized country but ours gov
ernment has fostered improved high
ways. Wherever improved high
ways have been built the people are
happier and the country more pros
porous. In the United States there
mas been marvellous progress not
outstanding bad roads. We would
nave progressed a thousand fold more
under an improved system of high
ways. Achange is needed here. The
common roads should be made ade-
