it Is bought from worthy farmers,
who need the money to subsist com
fortably -until next year. They ex

AN OBJECT LESSON FOB SOUTH
ERN FARMERS.
A Texas dlspatc.i -.cites that the
German farmers rbo constitute a
majority of a certain county are able
.o hold, and are aolding their cot-
<n without assist ince from the
' anks because ths’ - produce on their
l.-.rns ’’nearly everything in the
ur.y of food that their famlliee re-
nUre.” Here la an obiec; lesson pf
the value of crop diversification
which those far uerj in the Booth,
wlp persist In dtvoting all their
a, reage to the growing of one staple
and they they ars. unfortunately,
s'ill In a large majority would do
11 to ponder. T jc.v Is no section
the country vtsrcn Is sc well
i*>pptpd to divers-fl-jJ , farming ns
the South, and the tiller of the sell
In the Southern States, whether he
resides In the cotton or the tobacco
belt, who puta all his eggs In one
basket, does so from choice rather
than from any necessity Imposed by
nature. There Isn't a farmer in
t.ie territory from Maryland to Tex
as, who could not. If he would, ren
der himself practically Independent
of the outside world In the matter
of food products for the support of
himself ana his family and of forage
for the maintenance of the cattle
within his gates; nor Is there one
who wouldn’t be the gainer In pock
et, even In ordinary times, by rais
ing his own meat, grain and hay,
instead of buying them from the
West and the North. That the ex
ample of the German farmers in the
Texas county referred to above lua
not been rfiore generally followed In
the South is the chief reason why
the closing of foreign markets tot
cotton, incident to the outbreak of
hostilities in Europe, finds ‘.he agri
cultural Interests In this great sec
tion in the comparatively helpless
condition In which they now are.
But that which at first threatened
to assume the proportions of great
misfortune will in the end prove one
of the greatest blessings that ever
came to the South, If the truth
w-hlch It so pointedly and strongly
stressed shall be generally applied.

Atlanta, Oct 8.—Georgians have-
heard with Interest that shipments
of ootton abroad are being resumed
and hope that It will have an early
effect on the market. The first ship
load of cotton to leave this country
for France, was on board a ship
sailing frOm New York to Havre

Before leaving Atlanta for Wash
ington yesterday afternoon, Senator

fact that foreign shipments are bo
bbing madb and predicted a much
larger demand for cotton wtlhln the
next thirty days.
'There are now orders for one
million bales from English spinners.
I have definite information to that
effect,” he said. "But the prices
they offer are too low. When they
see the bolding* movement means
business, they will advance their of
fers. They milst begin getting cot
ton for t’-ielr mills within sixty
