"Public meetings and addresses re

are followed at once by earnest, ac

.and county organizers, the ^ood ef

Therefore, there should be co-opera

w© must have organization to win.
"Diversification should go hand In

farming Is the thing to aim at. Com

of our future is in the educated farm

Is not a business man In any other
field but would at once cut out a line
which he founJ unprofitable. Why,
then should the farmer try to grow
cotton on unprofitable land? Suppose
~)ou aaltg ftrar bale* of cotton on ten*
t^cres of poor land, have not these
been at the expense - of the rest of
your crop? Probably, these four bales
would be your share of the surplus
raised, and you have learned that
the surplus cotton crop fixes the
price. Thus, those four bales may
cut off much of the profit from the
rest of your cotton.
There is no better advice I can
give to the fanners than to cut off
the acreage that does not pay. When
you work to some end, work for re
sults, for a profit. If you must culti
vate (hat poor "land, put It in grain
and -forage crops, and put your labor
and your mu^es to better work, work
that will yield you good results."

Under the constitution no United
States officer can accept any foreign
decoration of honor or gifts from a
foreign potentat without the special
act of congress. This was for the
purpose of preventing England from
bribing. officers of this government,

the attempt of the colonists to estab

This condition is now removed and
congress Is considering a measure
to make this provision non-offcctive.
