President Harris said il he were to lake hi> rhoice of subjects he would speak on diversified argicullure. became he loved I hat subject ,atul because l! t? farmers needed div\J-dfied agriculture. liul the fanners, he said, needed organization now more than a11\ thing else. If the farmers of the South had organized thirtyfive years ago, the South would have been Ihe richest country in Ihe world "today. Mr. Davis, he said, had referred lo tile bank deposits of the Iowa fanners. Il was as easy to make two dollars in South Carolina, lie said, as to make one dollar in Iowa. The j people of South Carolina had twice the advantages. If we were lo go to Towa and do as we did here, we would soon he iu the poor house. The farmers of South Carolina spent three dollars x\ 11iI? the farmers of Iowa spent fifty cents. If the farmers ol Iowa average .^l.'JOO each in the banks, the farmers of South Carolina ouglil to average each. The fanners of South Carolina had made money, but I hex did not have it. The north-eastern States and the west had il. lie wanted to presold a plan by which the fanners of the South couhl enrich themselves and have money, instead of enriching Other peoples. There were three planks in the platform which ho wanted to present, and every man who tilled Ihe soil could got on Ibis platform. The throe planks wore: 1. Organization. 'J. Co-opera linn. / 3. Diversification of crops. . - I *i versi t it*jii ion of crops whs sr. * 1the people of South C'aro 1 didn't know much about, lie said, > he urged its importance. Lots farmors, lie said, would not even 1 > turnip patches. Organization meant educat > I'll rough organization came coop lion, and by cooperation power secured. Diversification of ci made I lie farmers free, indepeiu men. I Organization had raised the p of cotton within the last four or I ( vears $17..~>0 per hale. (Jo h I weni v-five years beyond the ' lour or five years, he said, am ^ would be seen that the average p ?I cotton per bale was Si thai lime the average price li;id h >0..?0. In | lie |;1^| fjvc years ->o Carolina li.nl made about 1.000, b;iles of col nit per year. So that "i ii/.ation <>|' |!m> fanners had n I to die wealth of South I'tiroi about $I / ,.>00.0(10 each year due ' ' Ifst live vears, and every mail business in the South had been o.1 lited. The beneficial results w in evidence everywhere through I lie South, and on every ha.in new lerprises a'id belter residences w going up. At one time, said Mr. Harris, i"rvihing was fighting tlii <farnu I movement. Now the inovemcnl ] | all t lie friends it wanted, ami all j encoui agement it wanted, but | farmers themselves did Mot put I much vim ami life in the organi I l ion as it ought to l?ave. President Harris reviewed the 1 |! "I orgaiii/.at ion, which -aid was started in Texas by (ire I'n. with about ten members, and :i dollar in the treasury. Today, s:lid, the union bad 2,100,000 nu hers, "with nothing to discourage j but ourselves, and nobmlv else iu j way.
