FARMERS. BE YOUR OWN MASTERS!
At every oppertuqJty/~THe American has born preaching diversified
farming because we believe diversification will solve, directly Or indirectly,
nearly all of the fanner's biggest'problems.
.Lgst week we received a very timely article on this subject from T. M.
Caton. Mr. Caton knows whereof he speaks and we are publishing the
article in the editorial column, hoping-that it may er^te a deeper impres-
sion on the farmers than our editorial* h*v* been creating. The communi-
cation, which ia headed, "Farmer*, Be Your Own Matter*,” follows:
"Th« ‘back to the farm* slogan ia a useless ptoce of advice unless the
admonition carries with it the one thing that will mean success and that
one thing is summed up in the urord 'diversify.'
The farmer must help himself. Innumerable conventions and confer-
ences art being held, speeches made, resolutions adopted and legislation en-
acted, while the time ia only consumed and the farmer is ‘kidded’ along with
the idea that a new day ia dawning and good times are coming soon. Big
the truth of the matter is, that h« stay* In the same old rot and In the
same mudhole aad no on* will pull him oat of the rat and no on* wQl fill
up the mudhole. •
"11m farmer that depends on on, crop has found out time and again
that the more he raises the leas ha makas, yet he continues this practice
with the hope that his neighbor* will quit It and he wiU.rid* In on the high
price of a short crop, bat be forgets that his neighbor Is thinking the same
thing and the truth of the matter is that they havc fooled no one hot them-
selves.

for a one-crop method.
