WEEKLY LETTER ON AGRICUl TURF
DIVERSITY, BUT BE CAUTIOUS IF YOU
 WOULD SUCCEED

The agitation of the subject of
 diversifcation during the fall,
 opened the way for good many
 to urge diversification who are
 the wisest counsellors about farm
 ing. The subject of diversifcat-
 ion is broad and deep and has
 many angles. It is an easy mat
 ter to advise a man to diversity
 his crops and leave the subject
 there; but that is not all.
 The man who diversifies is go-
 ing to succeed or fail, according
 ly as he does it. Some who have
 been won to diversifcation, and
 away from so much cotton and corn, are g ing to substitute crops that will involve them in
 failure, just as surely as cotton and corn would. Some are going
 largely into the growing of pot
 atoes, others are turning their attention to canteloupes, water melons, cabbages, etc. It does not make so much difference what crops are grown, if they are produced at the lowest cost, and can be marketed at a profit.
 However, 1t should be rememb. cred that diversification does net mean to quit raising one thing and go to raising another. Un- der that plan, the same old troub- les would be met in a different form. The Lord says in the good book to Seek ye first the king dom of Heaven and all else will be added unto you. :" In diversi- fcation it might be as truly said to seek ye first a living at home, then put your surplus into any good money crop, and prosperity will be added unto you.
 It is wise to produce, first of all, the necessaries for home and farm use, and then grow the staple crops, such as corn and cotton. Cotton is a good money crop. if not depended on to buy everything else. Corn is a fine surplus ..crop. If it cannot be sold for cash at a good price. it can be fed to stock. and sold at a good price in that way. A bu. of corn will make. ten pounds of pork. a But corn should not be fed to grow hogs. A little corn fed to growing hogs is all right, but if you depend upon corn en- tirely to grow your hogs, you will lose money. Pasture, sorg- hum. pea S, soy beans, rape. shimmed milk, middlings. rice polish, etc., are the things to grow hogs with. and corn is the thing to fatten them for the mar ket with.
 Do not go too strong on potat- oes and truck, unless you are a truck farmer. Anyway, a var lety is better than a single crop. Get into the stock business as soon and as strong as you can. Get hog vaccination started in your neighborhood and stamp hog cholera out. Ton can do it. There will not be more than half as much fertilizer used this year as last. The people are too poor to buy it. There will be no fert- iIizer or feed inspection after April first, and you should be careful that you buy and patron ize only the most reliable firms. The Senate refused to make an appropriation for inspection or to make analysis. consequently we can give no protection to the far mers along h is line. though every ton of the fertilizer is tax g twenty-five cents to pay for inspection, and the money will lie in the treasury two years ard cannot be used for any purpose.

With this money il has been possible

Less than one-third OF these food sup

Food Department Exhausted.
The food department of the Warsaw
government. which has been selling at
cost price, has been obliged to restrict
this work because Of the exhaustion of
the supply of foodstuffs and the i'm,
possibility OF importing from neutral
countries. The greatest need is for
fats, butter, peas, rice and beans The

4 BIG WORK SHOP
Mnnition Factories Going at Full Blast
and Others Are in Ceurse of
Erection.

Glasgow. Nov 12.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. 1T might be
assumed to expand more than two
fold the great shipbuilding plants on
the Clyde so far as employees and out
put is concerned would be all that Is
expected OF this center in the way or
munitions But it is not all that the
Scotsmen on the western coast are
doing by any means. for here, as in
other parts of the kingdom, new work
shops are being erected for munitions,
and plants intended originally for 9th
err purposes are being turned into
shell factories.
Somewhere in Scotland an Asso-
ciated Press correspondent Wis
tied a 200-acre filing plant which has
grown up in little more than a month
like magic city with its scores of
separate structures There are no less
than / miles of trolley track TO carry
shells from place to place. The plant
will be finished soon ard workers for
it are now being trained elsewhere.
The plant is being erected by con-
tractors who will make no profit, and
on a tour of munition plants much OF
that sort of thing is seen. Engineers
of large experience and reputation and
owners of big establishments are do
ing their bit without thought of per-
sonal gain.
As in the case of the famous Arm
strong works at Newcastle, plants en-
gagged in shipbuilding on the Clyde
were open to inspection. The shops
on the Tyne and Clyde are playing
their part and tremendously impress
sive part il is, too
In Glasgow, as elsewhere, the par
ticipation of women in the INDUSTRY is
apparent en- every hand, In their
khaki or blue aprons, with dust caps
Of the same color, they are busy at the
lathes and swarm in and out in thous-
ands at the shift periods Every, fore
man with whom the correspondent
talked was enthusiastic over the APP
plication and efficiency of the women
workers. OF course, they are not set
TO work at the heavy machines, and
they are chiefly given tasks requiring
only few days experience, In every
establishment as the women workers
learn how TO work the machines for
the lighter shells, the men are taken
out for the manufacture of the heavier
munitions.
What the permanent effect of all
this change in the working operations
of women will be after the war is not
concerning the employers now, though
they appreciate that it will bring its
chain OF problems for solution later.
To the women it is already bringing
more money than they ever had in
their lives before and sense of indie
pendence never experienced.
This alteration in the industrial fab
ric by women's increasing activity and
broadening opportunity is perhaps the
NEST vivid impression left or the min6
