DIVERSIFICATION
BRINGS RESULTS
PLACE FARMERS IN BET
TER SHAPE
FOR NEXT SEASONS CROP
If the Method Is Continued
Farmers Will Reap the
Rs.aasits.

The price paid for cotton this
year should not cause our farm
ers to plant larger crops of cot
ton next year to the exclusion of
other things. The crops of peas.
potatoes, peanuts and other
things of this kind were larger
this year than ever before and
the result is that people will
make the crop next year with
less expense than ever before
and live better while. they are
doing it. When the farmer plants
his cotton he should not plant a
big crop, thinking that all the
balance of his neighbors are 60
ing to cut the acreage. This
acreage cutting business has got
to be universal to do any good,
and if all will look at the thing
the same way, provide to live at
home first, then put their sur
plus time and money in the cot
ton crop, they will come out all
right, no matter whether the
price of cotton be high or low.
The higher the price, of course,
the more spending money they
will have, but provide for the
things to live on first and the
cotton crop next. 1t occurs to
us that the successful farmer
should figure ahead and have his
plans laid as many years in adj
vance as possible; for instance,
in the case of providing meat for
his family: He should have meat
in the smoke house for this year,
hogs in the pen for the next, pigs
in the pen for the next, pigs
growing for the third year and
a prospect of pigs for the fourth,
thus managing for four years
instead of one, and other things
can be provided for in the same
way. In rotation of crops, it is
possible to arrange for several
years ahead; in fact, it is the
thing to do, and should be done
if the farm is to be built up and
its productive power increase.
People in this country have got
to learn what they have already
learned in other states. and that
is to build up the land. The davs
of cheap lands have flown and
wearing out dne farm then buy
ing and clearing up another is
no longer a Ipaying business in
J this country.
