As To Diverslicati

This question of deversifying the
crops throughout this section is up
permost Just now on account of the
serious damags wrought by the boil
weevil. There can be no doubt that
intelligent deversihcation will be d
good thing for North Louisiana, but
II would oe great mistake to go
in to II on Il large scale with the
view of abandoning cotton alto
gether without considering the
means whereby success can be
made of other crops. In the first
place there must be close culture OF
the soil something to which the
average cotton planter is not accus-
toned. And in the next place there
must be favorable freight rates as
compared with other sections en-
gaged in the same line of industry
1t would be better to succeed slow
ly in the beginning than to make a
bad start on a large scale.
What the farmers throughout
North Louisiana need to learn be.
fore they undertake to abandon
altogether is to live at home. lfthey
can succeed in growing all of their
feed -stuffs and most of their food
stutfs at home. there will be no
need to abandon cotton. In
stead. by using fertilizers and inn
p1 owed methods ofcultivatiou. they
can grow cotton successfully in
spite of the boil weevil. AT the
same time they they can experiment
with various truck products on
small scale until they hit upon
some plan which will pay son a
larger scale.
But the people of North Louis
lana are confronted with this
proposition:
They buy corn half the year
from Kansas City: they are buying
vegetables part of the time from
Texas, they are buying meat from
Omaha they are buying canned
goods from St. Louis they are buy
ing oats from Nebraska-when they
could be raising these pre- ducts at
home in qualities sufficient for their
needs. 1t is Il fact that this system
cannot last when the farmer is call
ed upon to divide his cotton with
the boil weevil His share of the
cotton after the boll-weevi, has
levied tribute upon the crop is
scarcely sufficient to reimburse him
for the labor expended upon it, to
say nothing OF buying corn, meal,
hay, oats. meat, canned goods and
other feed aud food necessities a
way from home.
II evident that the kind of diver
sification that is mos. needed in
NoEth Louisiana, is that which
will cause the farmer ia this section
TO save expenses by living at home.
