BENEFITS OF DIVERSIFICATION A Hart County Farmer Has Learned How to Turn the Trick. One of the farmers least affect ed by the ravages of the boll wee vil is Mr. T. E. White of Hart well, Georgia. For a number of years Mr. White’lhas practiced diversification and received all the benefits'and advantages of this system of farming. He not only has one of the most productive farms in that part of the state, but has money to run on, plenty to eat at home, and a home with lights and other medern conven iences. Mr. White considers a few dai ry cows, which he milks, a very important part in his operations. He says, “I have been working with cows for six years. I start ed with four cows and now have nine head, seven are giving milk now. I sold butter at first, but I have been selling cream for several years. I like to sell cream better than to make butter. I like the business well enough to fol low it a while yet, and expect to do a better business in the future than I have in the past. I have a lot of better cows and lam go ing to feed therm better.” Mr. Whitejhas been since 1916 a regularjpatron of j the Georgia State College of Agriculture Co operative Creamery. At times the prices run con siderablyjlower than, the lowest prices ofßhis year. Mr. White also tells of things bought his cows, among them an acetylene lighting outfit, and a tractor. He gives a great deal of credit for the fertility of his farm to his cattle. Before the boll weevil reached that territory be obtained a yield of cotton equaled on few farms in the state. If more farmers would follow this man’s plan of farming there would be less hard times in the state. This is only one of the many instances where this plan has been and continues to be suc cessful.
