Reports from many sectiens tell of a cot
ton crop greatly damaged by the continued
heavy rains. State Commissioner Hudson
of Georgia estimate tint there will not be
over half a normal crop of cotton in that
State. Wherever this is the case Mr. All-Cotton-Farmer
is going to be hit hard.
Nearly all our reports, however, tell of
good corn crops; and right ftere is another
proof that the dictrine of diversification is
right- not haphazard planting of different
crops, but a rational system ofrotation that
provides for a fair acreage of the various
staple crops each year. No man can fore
see the season, but any man can, by a little
foresight, insure himself lair return from
his farm in 'almost any year. The one-crop
farmer risVa it all on one throw, and su. h
farmer is gambling rather than business.
Diversification of crops is the firat essen
tial of permanently successful agriculture,
and you must practice it - if you wish to be
sure of making money every year.
The progressive Farmer and Gazette, The
Southern Farm Paper, preaches the doc
trine of diTeraified crops preaches it, 52
times a year, in every issue. If you wish to
make money read the Progressive Farmer
and Gazette a paper made for you by
Southern men, dealing with Southern con
diticms only. i.oo a year and your money
back if you are pot pleased. Satdple copies
