SALVATION FOR THE FARMER
southerner Who Is Inclined to Stake His All on Single Crop Is Urged
 to Diversity.

Diversified farming is just means of playing safe The southern farmer is in the habit of stalking his all on q single crop or a single class of crops If the crop does well, and if the mar kets are good, and if the crop can be marketed, and if disease does not wipe 1t out and-well. if he has good luck ae will be able to live through the com ing year and have enough surplus to pitch another crop. But if any one of 3 dozen things does strike that crop his work is lost and it takes consid arable bracing to hearten him again.
 John NJ. Scott. vice-director Of the University of Florida experiment sta tion, is anxious for the farmers to grow greater variety of crops so that if one fails they will have an other or others upon which to fall back Stock raising is one of the most easy and profitable means of diversi- flying farming operations In this way the farmer raises his own meat, and in addition produces valuable fertilizer which will enrich the soil for his crops.
 Truck farming is profitable-some years. If the truck farmer would plant only half his land to some staple crop for which there is always ready mar ket, he would find the business more encouraging There is a large variety of crops which could be grown which would be profitable every year Some years they would not bring so great returns as truck or some other spe cialized crop. but when one takes into consideration the years when the sin gle crop fails for one reason or an. other. the staple crops will make a pretty good showing.

COTTON STATUS AFTER WAR
Stocks to Be Repenished and New Uses for Staple Are Developing
 Che After Another.

One thing that has been demenstrat ed by the experience of the last year is that the world requires American cotton in times of war as in times of peace, the Savannah News observes New uses for cotton are developing one after another. and the new use once established cotton seems at onct to become indispensable for the pur pose. Cotton is now used in substitu tion for many commodities of appar ently totally different eharaeteristics from it's own, and is found not only cheaper in cost but superior in et ficiency.
 Normal uses of cotton are naturally much inteFfered with by great war In some cases this becomes obligatory from the scarcity Of the staple. to gether with the more compulsory re quirements for war purposes. No one can calculate how long the people oi any country or all countries could manage to get along with practically no additions to pre-eXisting stocks of manufactured cotton goods They are first the supplies already in the hands of final consumers. then the stocks in the hands of retailers. enor nous in the aggregate; finally the larger individual stocks held by wholesale dealers and manufacturers It is evident that the time through which all these supplies can be forced to last is very elastic and can be much prolonged.
 But the scarcity must become acute after a while; then the need for frest supplies will be all the more urgent from having been so long repressed The end of the war will brQg not merely the restoration of normal uses but the call for replenishment of de pleted stocks everywhere. A surplus of cotton was carried over last year; it was an unwieldy surplus under or dinary conditions, the largest ever known in the history of the trade But it was a moderate surplus in compari son with the great inroads made upo1 manufactured stocks.

FARMERS ANXIOUS TO LEARN
Size of incomes From Soil Is Largely Matter of ducaton-Demand
 for More Schools

The steadily increasing attendance at existing schools of agriculture and the demand for more such schools in addition to the demand for agri. cultural instruction in the common schools. show that farmers are awake. as never before in history. to the fact that the size of their incomes from the soil IS largely matter of educa- tion. The man who knows when to blow. and why; when to plant. and why; when to reap, and why. is seen to have a decided advantage over him to whom the time for each of these functions is a mere "happenstance" and who never concerns himself with the Why" Scientific exactness is becoming the rule on the farm as well as in the laboratory and the machine shop; and exaetness comes only with the mastery of principles.

FARMERS CHOOSE NEW FARMS
Greater Care Is Now Necessary In Climbing Ladder-FertiIe Land
 Is Great Essential.

tBy P. R MtTMFORD. Dean of the Mis-
 souri College of Agriculture1
 Between now and the next crop sea son many farmers will choose new farms. Each step must be more care fully taken than ever before on the ladder whose rungs are the positions of hired man. tenant. mortgage owner, debt-free owner and improving owner. Without such help as that of d wealthy father 1t is no longer 50 easy to reach the top of this ladder without climbing the lower rungs as 1t was when land of virgin fertility could be bought for as little as Sl25 an acre
 In fixing the cash values Of land the renter or purchaser should be careful not to confuse economic with social or esthetic factors Unusually desir- able houses, barns and fences may add to the cost of land ont of proportion to the addition 10 their earning power, and the buyer must consider whether he can afford certain things winch bring great pleasure and satisfaction but no money return NearHess to town and market similarly raise the price partly for social reasons. partly because they make t possible to mar ket more cheaply and to market cer- tain products which could not be grown profitably farther from town
 Fertile land is the great essential in farming. but a question often raised is whether 1t is better 10 huy only the best land or to buy poorer land and b%ild it up by applying the discoveries Of the experiment stations and of the most successful farmers
 The personal preference and ability of a buyer must be considered in de termining whether 10 buy a small farm at higher price per acre and whether to buy only very fertile land with view to producing only crops. or to buying a mixed farm with some rough, well-drained portions for permanent pastures for live stock. Numerous other factors must also be considered, including the supply and price of la bor, kind of neighbors and nearness to schools, grange and church.
