others too numerous TO mention. To
me II is a lamentable fact that In the
year 1914 statistics show that there
were 100000 farmers In the State Of
Texas who were ono-crop Idea farm
ors and who did not raise anything
for their table upon their farm. II
Is especially gratifying now to see the
harmony OF purpose growing up be
tween the farmers, merchants and
bankers OF our state whereby they are
an seeking to bring about better con
ditlons and It is pleasing to see that
the economical and proper diyersi-
dcation idea is beginning TO take hold
among our people.

W. p. Andrews, Cashier First Ma
tlonal Bank. Fort Worth Texas;
We generally hear the old express
sion that Competition is the Life OF
Trade" but why have we never heard
that competition without Corpora
ton is the Death Of Trader Did you
ever see a business whose success was
not due to the cooperation Of It's en-
ployes: did you ever see bank that
had grown to be power Of finance
without the cooperation Of It's Of
ncers and directors; did you ever see
town that stood for anything with
out the cooperation Of It's people,
both In a business and social way? so
Iit is with the community or the state.
For prospcrtyand advancement there
must be cooperation Of Us people,
that ls. It's farmers, merchants and
bankers There must be competition
abroad. but cooperation az home
competition with other states and CO.
operation In our own state means de
yersIflcation
You might ask why this Is true
and would say because the one crop
plan Is the competitive idea, each
producer being in competition with
the other producer In his own com
munity and State and only raising
one staple product which will more
than compete with other states, but
stin at the same time spending all
the profits Of this product In purchas-
ing the necessary food products from
a foreign territory. The result Of this
must necessarily mean high prices In
food products to our people and low
price Of our own staple product. while
on the other hand the diyersiiication
plan Is the cooperative plan.
BY this plan we would raise enough
food products for our own consump-
ton and one or more staple articles
for competition. We cooperate with
ourselves in saving by raising our
own food products and We compete
with other communities In our staple
products. The dlyersification plan
plan therefore naturally means the
economical plan, the economical plan
is always the best financial standard
Altogether the banker looks with
more favor upon the credit Of man
who Is di,ersifying his crops than he
does upon one who is planting only
one crop. Considering the failure OF
seasons. the diyersifler will have
more resources for taking care OF his
credit and his obligations, while II
the one crop man makes a complete
failure he still has himself to feed
Among the people who are study
ing farm economies Of the world, is

DIyERsIfICATI0N OF CROPS
BEST FOR THE FARMER

II. II. Clarldge. Agricultural Agent
Texas & Pacific Ry Co, Fort Worth,
Texas.
Probably no one In Texas is 30 non
progressive as to contend that dliersl-
fled farming. as against the one-crop
system, is not only better for the
farmers individually and collectively
but as well for varied industry. In
deed, examination OF farming condl-
lions In all countries and In all sec
lions. invariably dlscloses the fact
that the people thereof are Intelligent
and prosperous In about the ratio
that crop liberalization is practlced.
Therefore, the question IN Texas
does not seem to be so much as to
whether liberalization is good for
the farmer and everybody else, but
rather as to how our Texas farmers
may best be aided and encouraged.
mora'ly and materially by ourbus-
mess interests.
A Safer System
Disqualification is safer because In
case Of failure OF one crop, there are
chances for success with others;
whereas, depending upon a single
cash crop. oa for example, cotton or
wheat. the farmer in case Of fail
nre OF that crop rs out OF business for
the time being and along with him,
all Interests depending upon him.
on tho other hand % he grows
several market crops maturing at
different seasons he not only has that
many for chances FOR income, but the
returns come oftenor than where he
depends upon a single crop for cash
returns Reminds that In few sec

the situation was saved by other
