"Oh, she reused you up, eh?" the Colonel spoke
in tone OF blended impotence and consideration
for his child "Wcll, I may as well say here and
now, Mr. Hamburg. that | will not listen to advice

door and seeing that within hearing,
she continued:
"My father has bitter enemy of long standing
Major Garden, planter who lives within few
miles of us Ten years ago he and my father had
bitter political dispute, They parted and have not

Major Garden is away from home great deal.
He happens to be absent just now, but is expected

provoke my father to a meeting with him, all

DIYERSIFICATION TALK
ISOLATION Talks About Diver
sificaIion For Farmers.

Diversitieation means intelligent
farming on business basis.
Diversification means t h n t
farming shall be the highest, mob
lest and most profitable profession
that man can follow. Cotton is
the greatest money crop of the
South, of the nation, and of the
world. When diversificatlon is APP
piled to this great industry it
means a greater yield per acre, at
a less cost for production; it
means less cotton acreage, but
more cotton per acre; it means
rotation of crops, which will inn
prove the fertility of the soil, add
to the yield and lessen the cost.
The one crop farm is like II
bank; if you continually draw on
your account and make no depos-
1t your credit will soon be ex-
hausted and the bank will re-
fuse to honor your checks; 50 it
is with the farm, continual crop
ping year after year with the same
crop will exhaust the fertility of
the soil, and sooner or later end
in failure.
Again, seasons are like fnan-
cial panics, come with more or
less varying lrregularity, and the
one crop farmer suffers great loss,
if not ruination, in an unfavor-
able season, as it would be with
bank which had only one re-
source and was dependent entlre-
ly on one crop community when
a panic or drouth comes,
Diversihcation does not mean
for the farmer to give up cotton
and 60 altogether TO some other
crop; nor would it be wise to
plant all truck or onions or rice
or corn or grapes, or any other
one crop,-Diversify.

Texas does not raise enough

And consumed nearly 500, 900, 900,

good reason why the Texas farm
er should send $4,000, 900 out of
Texas for bacon and hog products,
paying tribute to the northern

ern railroad, and holding down
the prices of hogs sold our pack
ers? There isn't n Investigation
farmer in Texas that can't raise
bacon at &c per pound. Then why
should he pay 1Oc at his retail
