L la mi Interesting open letter to
lbs farmers of Beaufort county. #.
F. Latham, county farm demonstra-'
tor; org. , them to continue the di
v eradication of crop# and not to go
back to. planting large acreages of
tobacoo aod cotton. Mr. Latham *s
letter reads as follows:
To Beaufort County Farmera:
Don't b? Hoppers/ "The low price
of cotton tn the rail of 1914 caused
you to plant a smaller acreage to
cot(ea tn 191S. Yon planted more
corn, oatsr, peanuts, soy beans, sweet
potatoee, etc. In fact you started to
do diversified farming. Now con
tinue to follow up that diversity of
crop rotations that will Ln a very
short time bring aucceaa.
DON'T BE A FLOPPER. That is
to say don't let the preaent good
price for ootton and tobacco cause
you to flop back to an extensive ac
i^age of cotton and tobacco this j
year. The result of a Hopper is
usually thla way: When the pries'
is low you flop out, the price flops
up sad you mlae; when tUs price is j
high up flop in, the price flops down
and you miss again and so on it !
goes. The sane thing to dpr"Ia to'
diverslfy/jrour crops so as to provide
a sufficient amount of food and food
stuff for the farmer and all the live
Stack that now if or may be grown
on the' farm this year, having in
mind a System of crop rotations that
wdi at the same time build up and
IttogMse Jth* fertility ef your soil
[Or ctfarotf p^mt few screB in cotton
and a few acres . In tobacco but
DON'T Increase yoor acreage over
last ytar. ft you do you will be
sorry next fall that you flopped.
Plant corn, soy beans, peanuts,
sweet potatoes; oow pr-as, oats, audan
grass, etc. Grow some graslng crops
for hogs (and grow all the hogs you
Can) An acre of good soil weii pr*r
pared now and seeded to rape as
early in February aa the aoil is dry j
enough to. be workable will in 60
days from aeedlng be ready for boga
to grase and if a fair crop la grown
will take cafe of 20 of xhore hogs
(according to slse of hogs) for the
next 60 days. Th* same acre 4h>
then be put to some other crop, like
[soy beans, qow peas, sweet potatoes
[or even late torn. You can perhaps
with ' a good degree of success sow
spring oats with red or alslke clover'
t Mat would furnish fine late spring
and/early summer graslng and then
ma ae a good hay crop, or you can
pj?i ln red clover on fall sown oate
about the last of February or first
of March. Do some or all of theae
things. ' But don't be a flopper. If
t can berve you oall me.

IJvc, Msut Be Protected.
Washington, Jan. It ? Stirred to
Indignation by the lateat outran* to
American citiicns in Mexico, aena
ton Id a etormy debata yesterday
afternoon vigorously demanded pro
tection for American life and oglled
(or armed Intervention.
I Even 8rnator Stone, chairman of
I the foreign relations committee,
while upholding the admf&lstr^lon.
admitted that If the Carranaa gov
ernment was Inefficient this eOttntry
stood face to face wih armed ln?r
ventlon.
"1 mean to say that the American
government should do everything It
could to protect fta own people In
Mexico. I understand to aay the
President of the United Statae. will
do everything he can and everything
that could tp done to Inaura punish
ment. If the Carransa government
proves inefficient there la only one
thing to be done. That ig to go
down to Mexico and intervene by
arms. I am not going to dteuba
that. But that Is what we are up to.
For the present I want to leav* this
matter to the President of the United
States, feeling he will do everything
tha any of ua would do."
Demanda upon Carranxa that he
rake prompt and energetic stepe to
?.Hp! are and punish the_ bandit* waa
mado this afternoon by Secretary of
Statf Lansing, who In a atatement
characterized the massacre as a "da*
lardJy crime."
At the same time he denied that
the victims had been given assur
ance of protection by the state *de
nartment and laid part of the blame
it the murders at their door by say
ng they had failed to heed the
warning to stay out of that part of
Mexico where revolutionist# aro
active.
Senator Oalllnger stirred up the
Mfxlcan debato by reading a tele
gram from the state deo^gtm^pt ^
showing that eteps have been taken
to secure the bodies of the dead
miners.
"It seems to me tha time for
watchful waiting In Meziee haa
ceased." aald Senator OallJnger.
"The government should take sum
mary means to protect the ll?es of
American citizen*."
