He expected me and had invited almut twenty ncighlioriug farmer I to m present As I approached improvement; the front fence was repaired, a tew rose bushes had been set out, and a new walk nude. Within, the farmers apjieared to In very much iutemded alsmt something. As I entered the door I tide John rose with considerable dignity aud said: "I mentioned to my neigh lairs some of the things we discuss ed when you were here hint aud they were so interested they aked the privilege of Isdng present when you came again. I sent word this moruiiik'; they came early and we concluded to organize a club to talk about our farms. They appointed me chairman. It is time for the meeting to commence. You cau talk on auy subject you please." "Uncle John," I replied, "what were you all discussing so earnest ly when I came up to the dootf" "Why, you see," remarked Uncle John, "there was a dressed up fei low around here calling agricultu ral meetings and we went out to hear him. He pitched into thecot ton farmers generally aud told us we ought to diversify, that our lands were just right for truck farming, and that there was big money in it "He told about a farmer in Texas by the name of Nye who got ."i,immi worth of onions off of 7 acres, and another man at Victoria, Tex., who made 1700 an acre out of celery, and a string of farmers somewhere else that made piles of money out of Irish potatoes, cabbages, melons, tomatoes, and bcaus. Such a imiw- erful lot of figures made us sort of uneasy. Do you lielieve he told the truth!'' "Yes," I replied, "he told you the truth. I kuow Mr. Nye, and I know the celery gardener at Victo ria, aud I kuow ninny of the oth ers; but he did not tell you i no whole truth. He did not tell you that Mr. Nye used sixty loads of well-rotted cow -pen manure per acre under his first ctop, and he did uot tell you of the thousands who lost all tncy liuil tijtog to make truck for market. "What your land is adapted to raise is alxnit the smallest item in profitable farming. The deep, black, sandy loam soils of the South are well adapted to raising pineap ples, bananas, and oranges. There is money in raising them; why not go Into the business! The climate prevents. It Is too cold. If you conld raise them they would not lie as sweet as if grown in thel ropics. Climate is a great factor. I'lanls get from six to twenty-live times as much food from the airss from the soil. Grass derives alsiut lij 1st cent from the soil, exclusive of water; corn, :U iiercent. ; and sugar cane, less than 1 per cent 'Truck is bulky and perishable. After it is raised, profits depend upon transportation, the markets, and the expenses of selling all of them mighty uncertain. In the Gulf States you are from a thou sand to fifteen hundred miles from your market Eventually vege tables from the West Indies and tropical Florida will go into your markets weeks lielore your vege tables are ready, and prices will Iron to cost or below. Later, northern gardeners close to the cities will take the markets. The climate, the transportation, and the profits of the commission men are against you. You are just Is'tweeu the early and tho late producers. It is a gamble, and you win win just enough to make you put np all you have and lose. 'The lust of May ot tins year I saw scrus of fine cabbages iu North Carolina plowed under liccause thev would not pay the cost of transportation. "The successful production oi truck dependsupon several things. You should have rich, sandy loam land, bave the teams aud tools to give deep and thorough tillage, nil the soil with well rotted stable ma nure, have some experience, and your farm should not be more than :l miles from your shipping place. You reside from S to 20 miles from yonr nearest station. Probably that uiau was an agent of some railroitd And wanted to increase the freights. Vegetable are great ou increasing freights, for they are nearly all wa ter 80 to 90 percent and it does seem a waste to haul water i,mm niilea. It waa rather cool of that aeent to ask yon to raise water, done np in cabbages, melons, and tomatoes, and haul it an average of 10 miles, and ship it 1..MH) miles so as to make freights." "Yon don't appear to lie in favor of diversification, said Jim lirown. Drown baa worked hard all his life and has HO acres or rather poor land half paid for. He has always been an enthusiast on diversifica tion. He ia now thinking of mov ing West so as to diversify. This moving diversification is a poor kind. "On the contrary," I replied, "I am a great believer In diversities tion that is safe and always help ful. I will outline what I mean. "The first step in diversification I is to diversify front ioor crops to gtsvl crops; front a promb to a ; M-rfortiiance; from a tenant farmer to an owner of th soil. Stand for j something and make good. "The second step is to pnshice npon tour farm all that is required tr the family and domestic aui- i rual on the farm. Supply your family Market before you go into the business of raising foists or fruits for Chicago or New York; raise a variety and a plenty. "The third step is to increase the j numls-r of good mares and rattle aud hogs on the rami ir you nave unused lands, and eliminate the unprofitable. "The fourth is to have plenty of good utxt lire not a weed or brier in it just choice grnsN; have a go d meadow; rut ami cure enough txcellent hay. If you have uo meadow put up plenty of peavine and sorghum bay. r ill all the corn fields wiih cow eas and have some fields of clear cow peas and or pea nuts. When the com has lieen gathered in August you cau turn hogs, cattle, horses, and mules into the cornfields and I sine that the runtiest pig aud the poorest mule will lie rolling fat by winter. In the full plant plenty of raiie, criui- sou clover, oats, aud vetch for a cover crop aud for w inter pasture. "I'laut mora than the stock ran eat It will not bankrupt you if some oats went to seed and you harvested them. Fence tight a gissl tract of oak woodland and let the stock have free range, (live some additional feed and let the stock come into the spring iu excellent condition. "The thrifty farmer should al ways have something to sell a few good colts and steers, or a milch cow, or some hogs. Every time he goes to town the w agon should car ry some fruit, or vegetables, or but ter, or eggs, or poultry, and on its return it should not lie loaded w ith canned vegetables, desiccated fruit, preserved meats, or tinned milk. The wagon that goes to town empty and returns loaded with foods the farmer could produce at home is owned by a man w ho has but one suspender and wears a crowuless hat Euougb of the odds and ends should lie sold to pay the running expenses of the farm, and the cot ton crop should 1 a clear bankable gain. Cotton is the greatest cash crop in the world." Here Hen llliams interrupted. "I am told," said be, "that I have some fine land for long staple cot ton and 1 am thinking of planting some." "You will make a great mis- talrB," I replied. "Thoro ia nn long staple cotton raised in your neighhoiliood. IiOiig-staple cottons are generally small yielders and you will not raise enough to make a market. You will probably get no more per pound than yonr ucigli Ixirs and will raise less cotton per acre. As a rule tho larmers in a township had lstter raise the same variety of cotton as far as practi cable, if a good one, for it will bring more iu tho markets. "A case iu iHiiut is this: The Triumph is an early, largo boll, prolific cotton, of medium staple, and exceedingly well adapted to moMt Southern conditions. It grades considerably alsive average cotton mil when grow n where the general average of cotton is of good type and quality it brings 2 cents a pound more than when grown where the average cotton Is short staplo or low grade. That is, cot ton guides a good deal like men according to thecoinnany it keeps. The average cotton is a degenerate mongrel. Ihere are only a few types that might to bo produced for a standard crop iu the l imed States. If these were generally raised and carefully picked and baled throughout an entire county, the farmers in that county would get au average of 2 cents a pound more than they now receive. 1 he same holds true of long staplo cot ton. W here only ono farmer plants it he can not get the price he ought to bavo. "I have tried to make clear that advising a farmer nlmnt his crop from a single standpoint is rank folly. The climate, the season, the preparation of the land and its cul tivation, the variety, the markets, and even what the iieighlsirs raise are iniMrtant parts of the prob lem. Over and alKive all theso Is the farmer. "When I go around advising people uhout growing cotton, I al ways put my tenter into the man. There is more in the man than in the land. A first class man will make almost any soil productive. A low grade man will raise a low- grade of cotton on the finest delta lauds ot America."

Mr. llryau has tnecoioreti population, n is sain himself lead the way by giving that In the last two years a thou ,,-!, month .11 the urofils mude sand negroes took np their alsxlc n the city, giving the city a col ored population of about Il.ootl per sons. 'They were getting too Uild and iirpudeiit,' said a hotel kecicr today. '1'eople outside the city cannot realize just how ofl'-nsive this was. The iieople of the Slate at large will discover that the out break of last Friday was not the result of momentary irritation, a temporary ebullition of violence siiicrinduced by heat The under current of resentment growing for years needed only a pretext, and the assault on a white woman fur dished that pretext The streets are quiet now Is-cuiise the troops are here, but that is no assurance that the question is settled.' " That is to say when the troops a it gone the rioting is likely to Is resumed unless all of the ncgris-s have left in the meantime; and in the above quotation is the distinct avowal that the assault upon the ncgrocx was not the result of a particular crime but that this crime was only a pretext for it, but rather that its mainspring was a deep-seated racial antagonism. Iu a word, public sentiment in Springfield said that the negroes are "loo bold, too im pudent," and it had Is-en deter mined to clear the city of its col ored population. Excuse for put ting this purpose into execution was found in the perpetration of a horrid crime by a mcmls-r of the race. This condition of mind or of fact would uot have been possible in a Southern community. Tho indi vidual offender might have liceti lynched, but uot in the South is war made upon the race for the sin of one mcmlier, and the Springfield incident is but a repetition of the ft-taught lesson that the negro has no permanent assurance of safety nnywhere in this country except iu the South, where his eccentricities are understood, his minor faults forgiven or overlooked anil where he has the protecting hand of the white man upon him so long us he is a well ordered citi 7,en. From this Illinois occurrence and many others like it in the North and West the black man should learn that while in iudivid ual cases he does well North and West, the natural home of the race is in the South and that be should learn to seek happiness and useful ness here by oliservance of law, by industry, accumulation of property and by mental and moral improve ment.
