... and so did his ragged army when they laid
aside their muskets and went back to their farms.
Therc they raised the tilings they needed . . .
sheep for wool and mutton, flax for cloth they
wove at home, hogs for meat and ''cracklins,’’
cattle for leather and substantial roast beef, grain
they ground themselves. Wood from the sur-
rounding forests kept them warm in winter.
That was making the most of what they had at
hand. That was diversified farming.
Since that day, most farms do not have as
many different crops. Instead, they grow and pro-
; 1 /or
duce only those crops that fit naturally together.
' 1
In our business, diversification follows the
same principle. We prepare products that are
related. For example, we make salad oils be
cause the same knowledge that enables us to
make fine lard is used in processing oils. The
. ... ,
same salesmen and delivery equipment may be
used in the sale and handling of all of our prod-
ucts.lOur by-products and our other products
arc all related, and naturally fit into our busi
ness. That is practical diversification.
So, over a period of years, there has never
been a year when some departments of Swift &
Company did not make money and some lose.
For example, the less favorable earnings of our
fresh meat departments during 1943 were offset
by earnings in the non-meat departments.
