MORE CROPS NEEDED.

All sorts of measures are being adj
vocated for the solution of the pres.
ent cotton situation in the south and
for the prevention Of its recurrence
in the coming year. says the Kansas
Industrialist. Some are even advo-
eating the passage of laws reducing
the acreage of cotton. while others are
attempting to secure the same result
through agreements, voluntary or
forced. among the growers.
None of these methods has proved
successful In the past nor is any one
of them likely to prove successful In
the future. Success In agriculture,
while helped forward by favorable
laws and by cooperation. Is finally
accomplished by individual effort.
Precedent to individual effort must
be individual conviction. and the con-
viction necessary in the south today IL
that the single cropping system must
be discarded and for 1t must be SUBJ
stituted a system of diversified farm
ing.
Lands in the south are fertile and
are adapted to many other kinds OF
crops than cotton. Farmers who have
not depended solely upon cotton.
