THE NEXT COTTON CROP. y


vEhe celrsmbasu(Ga. Sasa~ thinks !
that the area that has been or will
be planted in cotton in Georgia is |
fully equal to what was planted last
year. Many a poor fellow next
year will be over supplied with cot
ton, which will be very cheap, and
/, will lave to buy cern and 1proyisie ms
at high prices. Such farmers will
soon have to shut up shop. The
4 cotton crop, of 1871 will probably be
not less than 100000 bales, the
largest crop, with one exception,
ever raised. The capitalists who
have lem supplying tie credit
upon which these great cotton plant
ing operations are based will not
find any special encouragement in
helping the planter under the UNI
favorable conditions that are rapid
II developing. Yet, in spite Of the
most earnest warn;ng from the
Southern agricultural Journals the
cotton culture is increasing. The
Cuthbert GAY Appeal prints the
following III this connection:
I'VE place in nomination the
names of Messrs. Corn and Bacon
as being the most suitable candi-
dates for the Offices of Peace and
Plenty for the year 1871. Hope
they W l e 'inanin o sly supported
VI especially by planting friends"
We wish we could indulge the
hope of the appeal, but we fear the
cotton mania, with present genera
ton of planters, is well nigh incur
able.
