dent Finley, ot the Southern Railway and 11 o'clock last night, a young rnnn.
Company, In a recent address at the
Black Soil Belt Fair at Demopolla,
Alabama, laid great stress upon the
Importance of diversified farming as
enabling the cotton planter to market
his crop to better advantage. Speaking
of this subject today, Mr. Finley said:
“The cotton grower wbo diversifies
his farming, at least to the extent of
rendering himself Independent ot out
side sources of supply for all of the
grains, fruits, vegetables, meats, and
dairy produota consumed on his farm,
la enabled to market hid cotton when
there Is an economic demand for It
He Is not compelled to sell regardless
ot market conditions, as has often
been the case, under the necessity of
meeting obligations Incurred for fowl-
stuffs and other necessaries of life by
reason of fatlute to produce them on
tre farm. The cotton fanner is, of
course, In a still more advantageous
position If be carries diversification to
the extent of having something besid
es cottoiy for sale. If .Is particularly
dedirable- that the farmer should have
a steady source of Income throughout
the yepr. The local -demand/ through
out the South for daify products, poul
try and eggs Is s-.-clt as to enable the
farmer who produces a surplus 'of
these commodities to have a weekly
Income throughout the year sufficient
to meet bis bills with local merchants
and a regular lnoon--), such'as this,
even though the amo. nt received per
week may be small, will, go far to
ward assisting him to i.-arket his cot
ton when there Is an economic de
mand for 1L“
