what his profits are Moreover. 1t il

SO the best insurance he can have in

will take place at different seasons

The man, tor instance, who has
made money on truck in tho spring,
can face the loss Of his cotton crop
with equanimity In the average
for the year he finds things balanc-
Ing up and although he has lost
profits for the one crop in the de

years operations. It Is the capacity |
Ut the soil In this section for widely |
diverse crops that makes it so valu-
able. This is not a one-crop section.
The lands are not merely good cot |
on lands. They are good truck
ands, good orchard lands, good pas
ure lands, They can be made to
'ield wealth in variety of ways. So
when you are trying TO solve that
problem remember
hat the farmer also has his trou,
