"Itrmany sectiops of the south/*" said the statement, "diversified farming should be practiced to a large extent.

Such a system ij faiatflous, since success or failure is dependent upon a single crop, subject tn the influences of the weather, insects, diseases, transportation and markets. A careful study of the situation has result ed in the recommendation that each farm, each community, and each section of the *0uiii rnOuiu produce, as far n? n<\aHil>lo.
