reference to getting crowds at farmers

definitely decided to abandon all cir

what was to be seen rather than In
the real cause OF agriculture. One
worker said he preferred few really
interested farmers to crowd Of sight.

situation. Work with those men who
want the work. who are interested In
improved methods. and in that way the

The Eagle believes In diversification
and has long tried to impress the
farmers and others that through d.
versification alone can come prosperity
that is lasting. Under the all.cotton
plan an exceptionally large crop may
bring prosperity for that one year, but
II is not lasting. The next year crops
are short. or prices low and the short
lived prosperity has taken wings and
Is gone. The crop Of THIS year Is proof
positive Of our argument. The farm.
ers diversified this year on a large
scale. the cotton crop was far shorter
than last year, yet the crop was worth
s3s7.773. 900. an increase over last year

A MESSAGE TO YOUNG MEN.

Young man. life is before you. Two
voices are calling you-one coming
from the swamps Of selfishness and
force. where success means death. and
the other from the hilltops OF justice
and progress. where even failure
brings glory. Two lights are seen In
your horixon-one the fastfading
marsh light OF power and the other
the slowly rising sun Of human broth
erhood. Two ways lie open before you
-one leading to an ever lower and
lower plain. where are heard the cries
of despair and the curses OF the poor.
where manhood shrivels and posses
sion rots down the possessor; and the
other leading off to the highlands OF
the morning. where are heard the glad
shouts OF humanity and where honest
effort is rewarded with immortality
