Tin- day of thy old credit system is passimr. and now tin? grow ers are found in various stages ot prosperity, from ability to pay oil old debts! and if t morttfaicek te ability to lend 1 irtofi'eV themselves. Their bank accounts are greater then ever before anil, they are investing their surplus in permanent forms. They are buying iuore land and bring ing the present holdings to a high state of cultivation. New homes with modern conveniences are being built and old ones are being improved. I'p to-date imp.lime.nts ami machinery are being*purchased, a better grade of live stock is appearing, some farmer* are investing in town property and mov ing in so that their children may enjoy better school faciltics, the farms be ing: rented, and more bank stock and cotton mill stock and cotton seed oil mill stock are being held by the far mers, while better St'hool buildings ami better churches in divers country neighborhoods bear witness to pros perity growing out of better prices for cotton, and to the incresing ability to maintain a policy insuring even ureater prosperity in the future. "Necessarily to diversify, to divert some energies from cotton-growing in to tho raising of other crops, is giv ing f>lnee to dcliheratcness in follow ing the policy as this stronger tinan cjail condition of the farmers permits thcui to enlarge upon the wisdom of not depending upon one crop. Diver sification, which implies more fertiliz ing and greater attention given to tho crpj^, began primarily for thousand* or jp-owers in parrying out a "hog arin-bominy" campaign?that is, in living on one's own farm, in making supplies at homo. The growing in cer tain favored sections of early vegata hles and fruit for Northern markets, the tobacco crop, a1? much a staple in some sections of the South as cotton is in others. And rice and sugar plant ing have, of course, emrnged the atten tion of many persons for years.

In the ca4? of whites, the demands of the cotton mills are hav ing somewhat similar crippling effect upon farm operations, in spite of the inclination noted here ami there for operations' under I lie spur of fair prices for cotton to attempt to make a little crop of their own. Indeed, such is the activity in lumbering that not a few farmers, as is reported from Louisiana, are following the field hand to the lumber camp and are liiriiimr out their own cotton ecreagc for the year. "Another inllueneo against exten sive expansion iu acreage is I lie back wardness of the season in the ('.u'olina ami fJeorgia, as well as in Texas and Oklahoma, the ground being still wet ami cold, or the crop of corn, the suc cess of which will largely determine the acreage of cotton, not being suf ficiently advanced to give a basis for any estimate.
