UNSAFE TO DEPEND
ON ONE CROP ALONE
Expert Points Out That South
Is Paying the Penalty.

Washington. THE situation In
themselves is only an illustration OF
the danger attendant upon any farm
enterprise and business based on rails

Spillman, chief of the office OF farm
management. 1T may run along very
well for awhile. even for many years,
overtake 1t. our study and inyestign-
ton have amply demonstrated that 1t
Is never snfe to build agriculture on
any one thing.
The wheat growers of the Pacific
northwest had no better resource than
whcat In 1893 the crop was ruined
by untimrly rains. In 1894 they cYpc-
ricnccd the panic, and the price of
wheat fell as low as Is cents per
bushel The next year 1t rose to %
cents II bushel and Ia 1896 was boost
cd up to 80 cents. During that period
nearly every bank and every CONNER
cial house in that region went broke
SO many mortgages were called on
farms that the price Of farm land.
which, had been $40 to $50 per acre,
fell rs low ms $40 and ST.. The Pa.
ciic northwest for years past has not
been depending on wheat alone, The
farmers learned II costly lesson.
THE same thing is true OF the rice
producers in regions where no other
crops were raised In large quantities.
Farmers who grew nothing but rice
have met with two or three eras Of
prices away below the cost of produc
ton. and financial ruin has followed.
Every region that has but one great
agricultural enterprise has suffered
more or less the same way.
The evident thing that the south
must do Is 10 produce enough Of all
the things her wonderfully rich soil
can produce 10 meet her home require
mcnts That Is what the Office Of farm
management has been urging on the
south"

After looking closely at these StumpS
November went swiftly back TO the
camp and spent the next ten minutes
in following the tracks which led in
all directions. Then once more he

why he did this, but when | under

Before men leave camp they seem
instinctively to throw such trifes as

In this case November had taken off
nearly every bit of wood before |
heard him utter a smothered eXclama-

looked it over. 1t was charred. but I
saw that one end had been split and
the other end sharpened.
"What in the world is it," I asked,
puzzled
November smiled "Just evidence"
he answered.
I was glad he had at last found
something to go upon, for, so far, the
camp had appeared to produce parsi-
moniously little that was suggestive
Nevertheless. | did not see how this
