DIVERSIFIED PLAN IS URGED
Most Successful Farms Are Those That Have From Two to Four
 Major Sources of Income.

In most cases where studies on the profits in farming have been made. particularly in our oldest agricultural districts. such studies indicate that the most successful farms are those which have from two to four major sources of income; i. e., they have a well balanced and diversified bnsi- ness.
 In certain instances it may pay bet ter to have only one enterprise, but usually when one crop pays much bet ter than all others the production of it increases rapidly, and soon the price falls to tho point where other crops or products are equally as prof itable
 Diversified farming is often con fused with farming where there is a little of everything and not much of anything. Either extreme lessens the chances of success. When the price of certain crops is very low then live stock usually become desir- able. However. if the returns per ami nal are poor cash crops even at a low price are essential.
 A l-balanced business insures against losses and provides a much better utilization of the labor and equipment.

CUT OUT INDUCEMENTS TOLLS
OVerproduction of Cotton and Low Prices Appear Probabfe-Make
 Living on Farm First.

tBy J. z. GREEN in Progressive Farmer)
 We often refer to the fact that the handlers of farm products get more out of the wealth which IS created on the farm than those who grow these products, which is true. There is one way the southern farm CT can cut out some useless middle mens tolls, and that is to produce some more things needed at home right on the farm where they are con- sumed. Then there will be no un- necessary handling and therefore no needless tolls to pay to the handlers. It will always be true that transpor- tation and distribution of certain per cent of farm products will be nec- essary but why should a farmer place himself in position where he must pay needless expenses of distribution, as he does when he raises cotton or to- bacco, which must be taxed with the cost of distribution and speculator s profits that are always deducted from the price of the cotton or tobacco. and then buy with the money received food products that must also be taxed by the handlers and toll-takers? Why not raise the food products needed at home. and thereby get them at net cost?
 The economic error. which stands out more conspicuously than all oth- CTS among southern farmers, is the craze for making so-calied money crops with western-bred mules and expensive commercial fertilizers, bought on time. with the idea of swapping cotton and tobacco for money and then to swap the money for food produets-if there is any left after paying for the mules and ferti- lizers The whole scheme comes from the idea of making money on the farm instead of making a living the first consideration The whole scheme has it's foundation in speculative farm ing instead of real farming, and the results of our agricultural industry have been disappointing because the profits are absorbed in the unneces- sary handling of a large per cent of the output of our farms, and along with the one-erop system comes the deterioration of the soil.
 The 1915 crop of cotton was small because of the existence of abnormal ly low prices for cotton when this crop was planted, and also because time merchants in the South were not able to furnish crop-lien tenants fertilizers to apply heavily under the crop With the price of cotton swing. ing back to normal and with pro spective 15-cent cotton at planting time next spring, crop-lien tenants and time merchants will take another plunge in cotton In view of this con dition let me appeal. especially to the organized farmer, to keep on sowing wheat, oats and rye and not take chances in competition with croplien labor Ne can at least go no further, with safety. than to produce a limited amount of cotton as net surplus, and if we produce it only as sur plus on homegrown mules and food products we will have at least some economic advantage in our favor

HOUSE FOR GROWING FOWLS
Structure Should Be of Open Fron. to Insure Fresh Air and Dryness
 Through Ventilation.

The house accommodations for the growing birds are very important. The house should of course. be of the open front type to insure fresh air and dryness through good ventilation It is very desirable to have the house large enough and high enough for a man to enter This will guarantee plenty of air space and rsake it much more convenient in cleaning or catch ing the birds. It is also highly de sirable that the house be portable SO that it may be moved about In this way the young fowls can be isolated from the older stock. which is a desir able plan. The birds can then be moved out on pasture. stubble field or orchard. and thus have the ad vantage of clean ground where they will not be so liable to contract dis ease which might be among the old flock or on the ground occupied by 1t Then too the young stock is inter fered with considerably at feeding time and do not have a fair chance fl larger fowls are about
 If colony laying houses are used on the farm. these same houses, if DOT table, can be used for the growing chickens Or. good growing colony house could be built 6xS feet in size with an ordinary shed roof and open front. This house could be used later as laying house to accommodate about twenty hens.

 There often happens to be late poul try. even in pretty we'll regulated poultry yards. This late stock is not as large and plump as the older stock is, and hence it will not fetch the price the heavier will, unless it may be chickens that arc ready for broilers These nearly always net a big price per pound. although the numbers oi pounds is hardly plural. pound and a half being about right.

Patronize Home Markets.

There is more profit in selling grain, potatoes. apples, etc, for two cents less a bushel near home than to haul to a distant market that makes an extra expense of three cents to get the two The same rule holds good in everything sold. Patrenize home markets both ways. as building up home trade makes your own market better, and higher prices.

PROGRAM OF SAFE FARMING"
Outline of Plan Recommended by Government Specialists to Secure
 Safety in Cotton Belt.

A program of safe farming" for the South is outlined in circular which the United States department of agri- culture has sent to bankers, business men. and farmers in the cotton states. The history of agriculture in the South. it is said. has been one of lean years and fat years. Short crops and high prices have almost invariably been followed by big crops and low prices and, in consequence, the farm CT has experienced much distress The increased attention which has re gently been given to supporting the people upon the land has already re suited in much good. but there is some danger, it is pointed out. that with the price of cotton rising there will be a tendency for farmers to re- turn to the old system of gambling on cotton. If the people of the South produced their own living, the cir cular points out. it would steady the whole system and keep the boat from rocking The safety measures recon mended are as follows:
 l. Produce home garden for every family on the farm, the year round, paying special attention to a plot of Irish or sweet potatoes sufi- cient to supply the family with food of this character. Where feasible. have patch of sorghum or other cane to produce sirup for the family.
 2. Produce the corn necessary to support all of the people on the farm and the live stock, with absolute safety.
 3. Produce the necessary oats and other small grain to supplement the corn as food. Pay attention to win ter grazing.
 f. Produce hay and forage from some ferage crop. sufficient to supply all of the live stock on the farm Use legumes such as clover, cowpeas, vel vet beans. soy beans and alfalfa for the production of hay and to enrich the soil with nitrogen and humus.
 5. Produce the meat necessary to supply the people, through increased attention to poultry and hogs. espe- cially. Plan to increase gradually the number of cattle and other live stock, so as to have a sufficient number to consume the waste products of the farm and make the waste lands pro ductive.
 6 After all of these things have been amply provided for, produce cot ton for the market
