D1VERsIFICATIoN OF CROPS.
The Remedy for Nine Cent Cotton.

How is the farmer to be able to
price his cotton and get the price he
puts on his staple which represents his
labor? There are three things essen
tial. First, organize yourselves; Sec
ond, cooperate together; third, d.
versify your crops so as to make home
self-supporting. Raise corn, bacon,
wheat, oats, horses, mules and more
live stock so as to make manure to
enrich your land, and quit buying 50
much commercial fertilizer in order
to stay out Of debt. The above sys-
tenn will free the farmers of the bond
age they are now in, for the cotton
that has been sold up to the present
time has been sold at or about the
cost of production. The spectators
and the manufacturers are saying to
you that You are making too much
cotton. Now. let's take them at their
word and reduce the cotton crop next
year to twenty-five million acres and
plant the other eight million acres in
food supply crops. This would make
about nine million three hundred
thousand bales, and the farmer would
get as much money for the nine mil
lion three hundred thousand bales as
we will get for twelve million five
hundred thousand bale crop. Just re-
member. farmers, when you make
more Of a product than YOU can con-
trol some one. else will take it at your
expense and manage it for YOU for
their own interest. Now. every one
knows that cotton is not on a parity in
price with anything else. A suit of
cotton clothes that YOU could buy
three years ago for $40 now costs vou
$1S. Cotton should have sold the
whole season for twelve cents per
pound from the time the first bale was
ginned. Now. who is to blame for it
selling from 1-2 to centso Nobody
except the producer himself, and do
not put the blame on anyone else, for
the farmers have forced it on the
market faster than the spectators
wanted it. Never will the farmers be
able to get their prices until they
make home Self-SupportinG and mark

THE DOCTORS QUESTION.
Advice Against the Use of Harsh
Purgatives and Physics.

A Doctors first question when con-
suited by a patient is, "are your bow
els regular?" He knows that ninety
eight per cent Of illness is attended
with inactive bowels and torpid liver.
This condition poisons the system with
noxious gases and waste matter which
naturally accumulates and which must
be removed through the bowels before
health can be restored.

remember that Your cotton that You

priced at less than 8 cents. With this
fact before you why will YOU keep on
in the one-crop system? The man who
diversifies his crops is a public bene-
factor to his country, feeds his family
better, educates his children better,
and when he crosses over the river
people will moan at his departure.
