Only through a continued de- r velopment of diversified farm- f 1 in* can the South attain its j largest measure of prosperity, v As a one-crop system, cotton has * ^ meant economic slavery to the ( * producer and mental thralldom . ^ to the South, which has thought in terms of cotton to such an extent that its educational and re- 0 ligious contributions are largely \ 0 ? influenced by the ups and downs t ?f the cotton market. Even if cotton were double the present . price, it would be unwise for the r South to concentrate upon cotton production as in the past. f Diversified farming, bringing y about a larger production of a wheat, and corn and hoes and ii c-a tile, means a broadening of v agriculture through a steady in- u the fertility of Southern soil and ^ the rounding out of all the activ- 8 ities which make for the 'argest a (J growth of every interest of the t South. With advancing cotton r prices and the world's cotton y famine ahead of us, there is se- 3 rioua danger that, lured by a the temporary prosperity which a might come from high prices of 1" eotton, the South will again 8 make the mistake of abandoning v or lessening its diversified agri- c culture and centering itR thought ? wholly upon cotton. For ye:?rs to come the price of a foodstuffs might, must remain c high. Therefore, if the South I keeps its "corn crib and smokehouse in the West," as formerly, en high-priced cotton will leave only a r.arrcw margin of profit ' after the South has paid for ^ Western flour and corn and bacon f the very high prices now ruling, and which in all probability will ^ continue to rule. Unless the g South is largely self supporting a in the way of foodstuffs and r feedstuffs, high-priced cotton i will prove but a delusion and a j snare only to forge again the c chains which enslaved the South 8 in the thralldom of cotton. J It becomes, therefore, the solemn duty; a duty to the ? people of the whole South, a ? J,,*w t- i 1.-1 E UUIJ W IllllitUJIS VJ1 ULI1CI 1H11US ^ who are compelled to look to the j West for foodstuffs, that the { South shall turn more and more to food production and become self-supporting in the raising of J livestock, grain and legumes. i Cotton drains the soil of its j fertility; diversified agriculture j enriches the soil. Shortly be- ? fore his death, Edward Atkin- 4 son, the Boston political econo mist and statistician, in a letter J to the Manul'actureia Record, 4 look the ground that the all- j cotton system had brought such t a deterioration in Southern soil I that if this loss could be stated J in dollars and cents it would at ^ lime exceed the total increase in the manufacturing interests of the South. "L atil the South is permanently fixed in alt of its agricultural activities to the raising of foodstuffs adequate for its needs and for shipment to other sections ? and other parts of the world, it f will not have attained the full t measure of its potentiality in ? in agriculture. ?

We recently heard of a young ellow who was going to see an iwfully homely girl whose father was very wealthy. The roung fellow thought over the patter a long time and Anally lecided that he could put up irith her looks provided he could pet his fingers on some of the rid man's dough. So he finally lecided to "pop the question," ind here is what he told that lomely girl: "Darling, I must' speak. You jearl beyond price, my soul lungers for you! Your eyes are ike sparkling dew drops; your lose chiseled after a model of he gods; your lips are redder ;han June cherries and sweeter ;han honey in the comb; your heeks are more fair than the >lush of wild roses. Dear heart, want you for my own!" "And this is what he would lave told her if he had tolt^the ruth; "You pie-faced, pimpled quash, if you were a snow ball n hades 1 wouldn't give two :ents a dozen for you.
