farmers all seem to see that it is a
poor policy to depend upon Il crop

er year will diversity their crops
Many of the most successful
farmers in the county have pro-
nounced in favor Of the diversified
crops, and declare that next wear
they will, in addition to increasing
Their corn acreage, plant more
peas, more sweet potatoes. and
more produce Of every character.
IN addition to this they intend TO
raise more hogs, for with poor
crops no farmer in ordinary cir
auInstances can afford to pav Is
cents pound for meat. II seems
more than passing strange that
farmers have not devoted more ot-
tentlon to hog raising in the past
Hogs can be very easily and prof
tably raised, as they require very
little attention, and can be fed
from the kitchen slops.
Another industry which the
farmers, or rather the farmers,
wives should devote more attention
IS the raising Of poultry. There
is a nice profit in both turkeys
and chickens, and by raising these
fowls the housewife can not only
secure an abundance of whole
