JOOI) ADVICE TO FARMERS | Home Markets and New Methods Needed?The Country Cannot Become Prosperous Alone Through Agriculture. Hon. W. A.

I glory* of the Southern farmer is to come through a change of methods looking to the diversification of his products. Now shall we do this? There is one way, and that is, enlarge our horizon, liberalize our laws, turn our faces to the East, welcome Eastern and Nortlmn capital, establish by the side of the waterfall and in the midst of our cotton fields, enthrone on our iron mines and locate in the midst of our inagnilicient forests the railroad and the factory." Discussing the farm situation in Now England and the lessons to he drawn from it by the South, (inventor McOorklo states that while in New England <his sum titer he made a careful1 investiga tion of the situation. I?y reason of cheap Western land, vast changes in the economics ofjtransportation, greater fertility of soil, there was produced in New England some years ago a tremendous farm depression, (ireat numbers of farmers, who had not boon i ahlo to undertand the change that i was taking place, abandoned the East and went West. They did not grasp the situation, and thought that if they could not profitably raise the cereals in: competition with the West there was no life for the Now England farmer; but in the last fifteen years a marvelous change has taken place in the agricultural a: ? i \ i." i.... i mi u i 11 in - ??i w uo^iiuiu i iitf \ have found out that tlu?v cannot j oinpotc with the West in the] growing ?.t the In avtrr grains. in i the raiding i I ?>eef. hogs and sheep, and wisolv they have turn-1 ed to now liehis of agriculture.

In 1897 the value of the vegetable products, due almost altogether to the growth of manufacturing cities was more than $10,000,000, while strawberries and cranberries brought over $2,000,000.
