SQUARE DEAL.

The announcement that the
business men and farmers are
organizing in an effort to finance
the Southern cotton crop through
the European crisis, is one OF
the most important events that
has shown up on the industrial
horizon for many years. There
have been numerous plans
sprung out of this great problem
whereby the farmer could chase
the bear to his den so much per
chase, but the bear always es-
capped, and the farmer was usu-
ally caught, and many Would-be
fnanciers have talked as volumi-
nously on the subject as a book
farmer discussing the boil Vice.
vii. But the present plan cuts
out the middleman. The man
with the cotton and the mar
with the money are now talking
face to face, and it is a great
hour for Dixieland. I

DIVERSITY.

The European war bids fair to
teach a lesson to the American
farmers, which statesmen and
expert agriculturists have been
preaching for many years, and
crop Investigation, at last,
seems to occupy the minds OF
the thrifty farmers of our coun.
try.
ST. Landry farmers especially
should weigh most harefully the
lesson being taught them by the
worldwide strife. With a large
cotton crop on hand, with very
little diversification, the farmers
of this parish, face a crisis more
dreadful than the national crisis
of 1907. With millions of dol
lars of cotton and no market for
it the farmers at last have come
to realize that King Cotton must
be cast aside and King Diversi-
fcation'' hailed as the savior vf
the agricultural countries.
How much better off the farm
ers, as we'll as the business men,
would be to-day, had our farm
ers paid more attention to diver
sified crops and less attention to.
cotton. can easily be conceived,
as foodstuffs are now selling or
are bound to sell at fabulous
prices. What hopes have the
cotton farmers in expecting a
record price for their product?
Through the enthusiasm and pa
triotism Of rich business men in
the United States many farmers
are getting 10 cents per pound a
bale, whilst many are in hopes
that they will have the good for
tune Of disposing of their crops
at that price.
1T IS evident that if the war
continues much longer that cot
ton viii demand only 4 small
price; especially SO if thu crop
prospects for 1915 are as good as
this year. The only salvation
for our farmers is Investigation,
the planting of more corn, more
hay, more sweet and Irish pota-
toes, oats, vegetables Of all kinds
and the cultivation of less cot
ton.
The farmers of st. Lnndry
parish should join hand in hand
in proclaiming for a great de-
crease in cotton acreage; diver
sifcation should be the motto of
every progressive and thrifty
farmer, St. Landry, as well as
Louisiana at large, should raise
on i larger scale hogs, cattle and
all kinds of livestock.
Plant less cotton and diversity
more. that is your only saliva
ton, Mr.. Farmer.

Be cheerful; the world has enough

The mind and soul must be fed
as well as the body.
Some Of the most terrific battles

He who wins a moral victory is

If love is to shine from our eyes
it must first be planted in our hearts
The sun has spots on it, but they

Alone by the men who can spare
The time from their everyday labors,
TO ponder on classical lore;
II never is taught in a college,
And It isn't a trick or a chore.
The way to make friends is to be
one.
To smile at the stranger you meet,
To think cheerful thoughts and TO
speak them
Aloud to the people you greet
To hold out your hand to a brother
And cheerfully say. "Howdy-do"
In a way that he'll know that you
mean it,
That's ali that's expected of you.
BE honest in all Of your dealings.
BE true 10 your word and your
home,
And you will make friends, never
doubt it,
Wherever you happen to roam.
Condemn not the brother who falters
Nor fawn on the rich and the
great.
Speak kindly to all who approach
you
And give up all whining at fate.
Edgar A. Guest, in Farm and Homo
