crease its diversified agriculture, and
it should do so as rapidly as this can
be done with its limited help without
lessening its attention to cotton pro
duction. Indeed, the South could give
up cotton production at less cost to
this section than to any other part OF
the country or to the world For the
South could concentrate on other
things and make living, while the
rest of the country would be shaken
to the foundation Of its finencial
structure if there were no cotton crop
produced by the South.
at is proper that every business
man in the South should urge South
crn farmers to increase their food
supply and thus make cotton largely
surplus crop, because when this mas
been achieved the wealth which Will
come to this section from agriculture
will far exceed the wealth ever pro
duced elsewhere by agriculture. 1t
is combination Of the South's ablll-
tv to raise cotton and to raise food
stuffs alike, which gives it an agrl'
cultural position not equa!ied else.
where in this or any other land, anc
when we utilize this combination tt
the best advantage possible the agrl
cultural wealth of the richest States
of the West will seem lnslgnlllca,hf'
