 Widespread cold weather hampers trade in nearly all lines, thus retard- ing but not entirely checking the open ing of spring distribution Except in few cases. however, notably trans portation and mining industry dis plays rather less than seasonable in reference. Except in few lines, es- pecially cotton manufacturing. advance business has been placed with a free hand and the feeling is not the less strong that milder weather will usher In widespread activity in all lines.

DIvERsiFicATIoN.
Means Farmers should Have Something to Sell Every Day.

The great cotton convention which vas held in New Orleans recently hRs emphasized in no unmistakable terms that the prosperity of the South Is dependent upon diversihcation; that the welfare and happiness of every farmer, every merchant and every banker is to have each farmer prac- tice diversification, so that he may control his cotton instead of being controlled by it.; that he must mako 1t surplus crop and not sole de- pendent, writes Oswald Wilson, of Fort Worth, Tex, secretary of the National Cotton Association.
 The South is rich in fertile lands and an equitable climate to produce sll the great fruit crops of the world, and with live stock become the most independent and prosperous section. There is no other section of the Union that can produce as great a variety of crops as the South. The National Cotton Association stands for the reduction of the cot ton acreage and the consequent in- crease in diversification. Our plan is to have a community of interest between the farmer, the merchant, the banker and the local paper, for diversification along such lines as will be to the best interest of each individual community. And in this work the National Cotton Associa. tion has the support and indorsement of the farmers, the bankers, mer- chants, newspapers, spinners and the legitimate handlers of cotton: It also has in this the support of every | friends and we'll wisher of the farmer and those who are really working for he prosperity and upbuilding of the South.
 The National Cotton Association has received reports from the school pre- cinct meetings that more than 400,- 100 farmers, bankers and merchants are pledged to a reduction of the cot ton acreage and adoption of diversi fcation. This work will be kept uI through the local committee of each school precinct cotton association until every farmer in the southern states has been pledged to diversi fication and reduction of the cottor acreage.
 More than 1000 editors of loca papers throughout the South have re piled to our personal letters and sait that they will carry department il each issue on "Diversifcation."
 Diversification means, first, tha every farmer should set aside a suff1 rient amount of land to produce al the food and forage he will need fol his own consumption.
 Second-Then plant a little more each month in the year in his local market, or, together with his neigh bors, make up shipment for the larger market. and in this each one wants the advice of his local banker merchant and editor.
 Third-When these two are pro vided for, then plant your cotton crop Make cotton your surplus crop.
 With the possible exception of | Texas, there is not a southern state that raises enough corn, oats and other grains to supply the home de mand, and every year your cotton money goes to swell the wealth of the western grain farmer.
 The following shows the production in the various cotton states of corn | ip 1q0l.
