leved, will ever be prominent crop, and a sure re-
lancc for immediate cash returns it will never again
oveIshadow and dwarf other interests essential to
permanent success in agriculture. And it is also
equally apparent that portion Of the labor of these
States will eventually BE- diverted from agriculture and
expended upon other departments of industry espe-
cIaly manufacture. and tie day is not far distant
when a portion of this cotton vii, be exported from

THE necessity of the introduction Of improved
farm implements in southern husbandry is imperative

value Of labor-savRE appliances been cumulative
The increase Of such machinery since 1860 and the
labor and money saved by it. are enormous That
which was to the west a necessity from scarcity Of
labor and high wages, has become equally udspensa

difficulty of keeping down superintendent groEths OF

Of picking the cotton iii the latter months afford OPP
portunitias for the employment and invention of
