More Diversity Needed.
The seeming certainty that the great staple southern crops will no longer warrant the farmers and planters of the southern states in buying away from home all their current supplies and producing at home only these great southern staple crops, must lead every thinking person identified with southern agriculture to the imperative necessity that now confronts us of protecting ourselves by producing at home all of the agricultural products that we have been in the habit of buying from the other states. This is said in no selfish spirit, but as a matter of absolute necessity, without which reform general bankruptcy will surely reach most of the farmers and planters of the south.—Southern Farmer.
