he is robbing his soil and he can
not possibly escape the loss of soil
fertility.
The rai-ng of other crops and;

is the one-crop grain or cot- (
ton grower The dairyman, the man
who follows diversified farming, the, >
cf homes where poultry

every day in the yea .
* taken two things to make a great
SUte:. First, the soil, second, t^e
people.
A stale in?y have fertile roil. W
if there are a shiftless inefficient
people living on it. they are not go-(
ing to make much out oi* it. A state |
S#*y have efficient people, but w:;hproduction
we can not have a
great country.
A one-crop system takes the life
out of the soil and impoverishes the
people. It is only through diversified
farming and thc using of our
energies every day in the year that
we can make a rich Country and a
^strong, vigorous people.
f Diversified farming means live
stock, dairying, crop rotation, more
pastures, less washing of the soil,
more productive land, greater profits.
Wherever you ?n raise corn and
clovers you can grow dairy cattle
and wherever you find d: iry cattle
you will find h:vjj priced land and
prosperous, growing communities.

fi'.-.-ii these applications for demonstration
farms. Farmers in neariy
very countw in South Carolin have
done so. and growers in a large proportion
the remaining 840 cotton
producing counties throughout
BMMfiyttjjggjlelt have made their applications.
This wide-spread and enthusiastic
response, according to the
campaign officials, will greatly assist
in the success of the nation-wide
movement to control the boll weevil,
provided sufficient funds are raised'
ir.ii kly from those interested in the
preservation of the cotton industry
to put the plan in practical opera-1
lion.
The national wnr on the boll weevil
that hes been launched will call
for an eexpenditure of $2,500,000.
Dne half of which will be used co carry
on an immediate fight against
thi boil weevil by bringing the best
snd latest practical methods of weevil
control to the cotton grower*
in every one rf the 840 counties of
cotton i-taU's. The other half
will be spent in establishing and
maintaining a Scientific Research
Commission for Roll Weevil Control,
