production Of cotton, which is now ,nling rates
below recommending prize, that the value may
thereby be enhanced. We have, however, little faith
that any conventional arrangement be adopted to
effect such an object. But to attain the end in view
we shall urge upon planters The policy Of diverting
to The culture Of other FRO 'ucts, part Of the labor
now bestowed upon cctoa, and present for their
sderat0n those which are best suited to our soil
and climate. AT the Same time, cot on itself will
