Diversification North Carolina has launched its spring offensive against low priced cotton with an intensive campaign to teach the necessity of diversifi cation vo the planters. Under the direction of extension service ex perts frcm State College, meet ings will be held in each of the cotton producing counties, with the initial gun fired at Rutherfordton .his \veek. So much for that. The doctrine taught at these meetings is not now. It is the same old story that far-sighted economists have been hammering at ihe farmer for ten years or more. It is the same re cipe they give them in 1914 when the World War sent the prices cel larward, and the identical prescrip tion writen out when the boll weevil forsook the Texas field for his Northern migration. It is sound doctrine, and it will be followed religiously by the great majority of cotton growers for at least a year. Where the acid test will come is in the reac tion a year hence, when ..he fruits of diversification appear in the form of a shorter crop and corres pondingly higher prices. If the cot ton growing element can be held in check then and prevented from stampeding after the elusive dol lar they see at the end of the row, all well and good. If the stampede comes all the efforts will be in va>n, and we will enter the same old cycle. The one crop system has always been to us remindful of the story about the newly rich man and his library. This individual sensed that empty bookcases around his living room did not add to his prestige, so he phoned a stationer and told him he wanted 500 books at once. “What kind of books?” inquired the dealer in tomes. “Reading books, any kind,” was the guarded answer. In the course of time the books arrived and were duly installed. Proud of his library, the owner showed them to the first caller and was informed he had purchased 500 copies of McGullick’s Fifth Reader. Diversification is a simple rule of nature after all. Feed a man salt food exclusively and he dies with scurvy. Deprive him of water and he succumbs to thrist in the midst of plenty. Man cannot eat gold, nor trade on the Rialto with bread. Doctors prescribe a bal anced ration to induce physical health, and economists insist upon a similar treatment as an aid to commercial or industrial progress. —Wilmington Star.
