cotton. That is sure thing.
The local board of trade knows full
well how this effects business. I'm
less the cotton acreage is cut to
where the yield can be saved, all
the farmers efforts are failure.
No farmer can exist on two or three

A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION

One of the most practical sugges-
tons yet coming from World Cot
to" Congress in New Orleans is that
il which the spinners are urged to
buy their cotton directly form the
southern cotton growers. That prac-
tice would mean good price to the
sumer That practice could be follow
ed in such a way as to encourage
greater production. and greater pro-
'"ction above all things else is the
thing needed by the mills. Cotton is
Overridden with more middlemen
and spectators than any other COM
modify on earth. Their existence
and their profits are paid by the
grower and the consumer.
1t is no unsound theory. Often we
ore faced with a thing that cannot be
done, but it is possible for the mills
TO buy direct from the southern cot
ton growers and that thing should be
done. Let us have more of this ar
gument.

Of folks still are against the league,
chiefly for partisan purposes, and
they bolster their position by saying
that the league might not keep us

tions proving to be beneficial, be-
cause it has awakened our farmers
to the truth that there are crops
other than cotton which are re-
munerative. and it is fast unfolding
to them many splendid resources of
the farm in the way of diversified
tion of crops. In most sections pea
nuts have proven most satisfactory
as money crop, and is subject to
the most satisfactory as a money
crop, and is subject to little of any
disadvantage in the growing. Price
on peanuts now ranges from 1880
to $4,000 per ton.
Coffee County. Alabama, under old
conditions raised about 81 500, 100000
worth of cotton, brought most of its
feed supply. Since the weevil has in
tested the County they have turned
their attention to other crops, espe-
cially peanuts, and this year that
crops alone estimated to be worth
S4, 500 10000 or $3,000,0000e more
than the cotton crop formerly pro-
duced. Raising hogs and cattle for
market is engaging the attention Of
many farmers with satisfactory re-
suits, and the general trend in the
spirit of progressive agriculture is
to get away from any one crop as a
means of support and revenue.
Supporters and advocates OF inten-
sive and intelligent diversified farm

proving the part of wisdom What OBJ

The time has come when we should

to diversity his crops. 1t is well
known that potatoes, peanuts, vege'
tables, apples, melons, and peaches
all grow well in southern soil and
reach their greatest perfection here.
Cotton shold be the crop upon the
farm as an addition to food crops,
and to know the good OF billie Boil

fication.
We agree with the Constitution
that it is the "alert and progressive
men who realize the true situation

the sun" in these premises. Agrcul-
