The Texaa bankeia are u sensible, far -

fact that their proapetlly la largely de

aod, by the way. this la a hue of
thought which abonld deserve more

At the Meant bankers’ convention at
San Antonio Mr. tV. H. Itlvrrs, of
Elgin, madr an Interesting and sugges
tive talk. Ilia subject was diversified
farming, and tin Instated that our
southern funner* o.innot lm prosperous
aod cootsntrd until they diversify their
eroue. breed aud raise cattle, horses,
mu lee nnd hogs and get oat of the old
tine-crop rat. lie rehued the caan uf u
man who had limn lndocrd by him to
change Ills metlmd ol fermlug Thu
story was as follows:
"This mail ownril nnd lived oo a
good little fartn of 900 acre*, forty

"This uiart today live* upon tko hill
in a «blt« house mid bin wife ride* In

In ooncluaion Mr. Itivers gay* hta
fellow banker* thi* udvteu ;
••Tba majority of small farmers look
upon Ur* banker »» an enemy ; they
arc nut educated lu broking, and liavu
uenr Oreo In a position to reallca the
two*lit that a bank is to a community
A great many farioug*—good men —
have never been inside a bank building
in tlteir lives.
"Now. it is my candid opinion tbak
the bankers of Trxa* have It id tlioir
power to bring about a desired change,
tu greatly reduce tbe acreage of cotton
in our state ly advising urn) incoor.ig
end offering the farmer an iuduoemeul
lo diversify hia crop, make hia cotton
his surplus crop, and wheu be oliali
tiaro sccouiplUh'd ibis we liave made
uur statu a prosperous one. our people
a happy and contented people. Ann I
would her* suggest that we rcccomeiid
and urge (he bankers of all the ootton
growiug states through our asrocta
tloua lo lake a personal lutere<t tu the
farmers of tboir different districts, to
kdvtae with tbem and suggest ways
and means whereby Urey oan rwuoe
the col loo acreage and ea»ler living for
their families."
Krory word of this is x* applicable to
ttt-orgia aa it ia to Texan, bat thecoun
try merebanta cau do more than the
bankers to bring shout the change.
Our farmers must diversify their pro
ducts, or they will be ruined In the
near future, wlico the southwest will
furnish all the ootton that can be sold.
