2 Agricultural ^ Department Diversification The Thing. Practical Ideas On Farm Work Gathered by Senator Smith On His Alabama Trip. Columbia Sta'e: Hon. E. JL>. Smith r- u;n cl i? tois cry yes ter.iax a teri.onn .'join Montgomery, Ala., where tie delivered an ado're>a t'? the Alabama Sta'e Fair association. Mr. Smith, :r? speaking of the lair exhibits at Montgomery, said: ' 1 was especially s'ruck with the fact that ifarmers of Alabama put into practical use the idea of diversifieaiion. With them divers'fication i< not mere theory, but at fhe fair crounds each individual farmer fs grained his individual 6pace to exhibit the entire product of his farm. 'Ibis includes everything thai he rai-es on the farm and ihere is exhibit* d by ' he farmer even the frui' in preserved form. Each farmer gives to the committee the amount ot the various crops that he has ra sed o.? his farm, the ; -ofit he made, it any, the cost and all items tint are considered necessary. "1 believe that this was the main feauture ot the Alabama State fair exhibits and it would not be a bad idea for the South Carolina Fair association to o.O.r.t u? ? "[/? IUI3 c, ill 11113 11II1"? wtiwu our own lair is almost here it would he well lor the farmer* to consider this :dea of diversilied exhibits." WILLIAMSON CORN PLAN. It is well known 'hat iht Williamson corn plan has dont wondera in the production ol th:s necessary product on tin larm. The plan has been given wide publicity and its men's are being discussed in man} other Siaiet. Mr. Smith lountl that in Alabama there was a difference of opinion between tho-e farmers who ha'i tried the Wil liamson corn plan and the ag ricultural d ^artment. "There is a confl c< noing o:i in Alabama, said Mr Sini'li "between the agricultural department and some of the farmera as to the efficiency "f the Williamaou corn plan. M my farmers who have tried this method pronounce it a decided success. The agricultural de. partment believes tli it there another method-" of growing corn that are better than the one advocated b\ Mr. Williinmon. TO FINAM K 'I'llK CHOI'.

Mr. Smith i talked wilh ta mers of Alabama, I Mississippi and Georgia and his i conclusion on the size ol the cop 1 is based upon he opinions ex- . ! pressed by these persons. "The price ol cotton will no higher," eaid Mr. Smith. "The I revival ol tride should do much to bring this ab ?ut." The crop in South Carolina is r-rnaller than last year and the same is true of Alabama and Georgia. Texas shows the lean decrease in the cotton crop. Tne quality ol 'he yield is much better.

It would be just as sensible for them to prescribe Quinine in its crude form as to prescribe Cod Liver Oil in its natural state. In Scott's Emulsion the oil is emulsified and made easy to take?easy to digest and easy to be absorbed in to the body?and is the most natural and useful fatty food to feed and nourish the wasted body that is known in medicine today.
