Diversified Farming Pays With less tha normal rainfall in some nreas of the state, a bumper wheat crop could not be ‘expected. Conditions this year, however, have served to again call attention to the fact that the, spread of diversified farming practices here is rapidly pro+ ducing » condition where Nort!
