Texas have demonstrated this year
that, by a system of ample diver-
sification, on ample acreage and by
improved methods of culitvation,
they can produce not only cotton
as a money crop, but a surplus
over home consumption of the
food and feed crops.
There was a very substantial re-
sponse by the farmers to the de-
mand for a reduction of the acre-
age planted to cotton in 1914. It
was not general enough, however,
to have had an appreciable effect
on the aggregate output had an av-
erage crop matured, hut it repre-
sented so much less labor in mak-
ing tlfS crop that was left by sea-
sonal excesses and the ravages of
the weevil, and is now bringing

In other words, the farmers of
before the American demand is
satisfied, and can he held at that
price if a sane system of feeding
the market according to its nec-
essities is observed. .
Diversification this year though
as stated not as general as it
should have-been has resulted in
a heavy increase of general crops
including thase necessary to home
living, and with the assistance of
the elements and the weevil, the
doubling of the price of the cot-
ton grown on the smaller Brea-
the first being the most important
accomplishment of the two. Next
year should experience an im-
provement on this—a greater ac-
reage and a wider variety of di-
versification, omitting, perhaps a

grain, the tobacco, and the dairy
products.
Germany during the same per-
iod was the second market for
farm and forest exports from the
United States. During the last
ten years about 18 per cent of
those exports have gone to this
market. The leading articles are
cotton, packing-house products,
grain and grain products, forest
products, oil cake and oil-cake
meal, fruits, and alcoholic liquors.
During the five-year period from
1910 to 1914, inclusive, Germany
took 28 per cent of the cotton
exported, or approximately twice
which holds
of the total imports in 1914. Lit-
tle more than 1 per cent of the
exports were carried away in sail-
ing vessels in 1914.
Washington, D. 0.—The foreign
trade of the United States for
the fiseal year ending June 30,
1914, was more than ten times
what it was in 1851, according to
a new bulletin of the United
States Department of 4grieulture,
No. 296. In 1851 the imports and
exports were valued at $400,000,-
000; in 1914 they were $4,259,-
000. The exports of agricultural
products have not, however, in-
creased in quite the same propor-
tion as the total value of foreign i88 much as France

RAISE8 FINE POTATOES
Uncle Dave Goodwin of this
city was exhibiting some fine po-
tatoes, the Buckskin Yams, that
he had raised on his farm west
of town a few days ago. There
Was one hill that had seventeen
pounds of potatoes under it.
Uncle Dave says that these are
the best potatoes he ever raised,
and their production is enor-
mous. ■(
• TWO POOS
One wears a dainty collar,
And a fine engrav-ed crest,
And cuddles in milady’s lap,
In uninterrupted rest.
The other’s life is quite apart—
That’s Tommy’s little cur—
He struts it with the kiddies’ gang,
A gay philosopher.
Of oourse, I’ve never been a dog, <
And can’t tell which is best,
lint, if 1 wiiy a dog, yog bet,
IM never wear a crest.
I’d rather rough it with the gang
And have a lot of fun.
No woman’s lap, would I prefer—
