A TRUISM

Those speakers of institute platforms
who speak against the profitable cha rac er
of one industry in the hops of thereby
advancing another do greatly err. Di ver
sity industries, are like farming. There
Is ample opportunity to make both wide.
The greater the number of. industries in
!country, as a ' rule, the better it is for
the country. The greater the number of
the branches of agriculture followed in .'a
country, the more profitable in its agri
culture likely to be. - The great question
is the adaptation of any line . of farming
to its surroundings rather than that of
relative valaes between farming 'indust
