Importance of Diversified Crops ?Capacity of Southern Soil to Produce Cereals. i Mir Southern farmers are gradually waking up to the importance not only of diversifying iioir yearly crops, out also of reining the acreage of their farm-, ng lands. (Jovernor Mcl.auren, >f Mississippi, is authority for he statement that the average 'arm in that state has decreased rom :i70 acres in Isijo to llh'5 in 1 >7o, 1.'??? in l>>o and 1JJ in ls'.to. >n tlie strength of this reduction Jovernor Mel.anrin ventures to lope that a new era of prosperity < dawning upon this section. With respect to diver i 11 oil Tops, the Chattanooga Tradesmen. in a recent article on the Ulhjeet, states that the time i< rapidly coming when the South* rn farmer will not depend for ii- 11 i <i ut- - Hi" i) cotton ind a few other >t;>f?los.
