CROP PROSPECTS TOO MUCH RAIN
EVERYWHERE.

From all sections of the country we
hear gloomy accounts from the farmers.
The prospects for crops are very dis
couraging. Excessive rains have re-
tarded planting operations everywhere,
and our planters are nearly one month
behind their usual time. Our exchanges
are full of accounts of the disastrous
effects of too much rain, which seems to
have been incessant and almost univer-
sal in the South. The prospect ahead is
gloomy, and there is much repining over
apparent misfortunes. May not these
excessive rains be blessing in disguise,
compelling the farmer to substitute
corn where he had formerly planted
cotton? We advise the planters, as
we have done heretofore, to raise
corn. wheat and meat in abundance, if
they wish to be independent. They will
certainly not regret it in the long run;
for our observation corroborates the
fact that those who have diversified their
srops and raised at home the necessa-
ries of life, have invariably become the
most prosperous and happy. Let not
the syren song of future high prices of
cotton be sung into your ears. The fiuc-
tuations of the last four seasons should
remind you that in it you can place no
reliance. But direct your energies first
to producing what you consume at home,
and after that to cotton. The New
York Commercial and Financial Chroni-
Gle says:
There are some points established
WITH regard to the next crop which are
very satisfactory.
|. There has certainly moe corn ana
breadstuffs been planted throughout the
South this year than last year. We year
this from almost all our correspondents,
and think there can be no doubt of it,
1t is not simply true of limited districts,
but is nearly if not quite, universal
2. The expense of putting the crop
into the ground has been much less than
last year. This has arisen from the ne
cessities of the planter. He has neither
the money nor the credit to do otherwise.
As consequence, very much less has
been spent for fertilizers.
3. Bacon, ham, and all hog pro-
ducts are now from three to four cents
per pound lower than they we're last
year at this time, and the market for
products of this description has at pres
ent downward tendency, whereas a
year ago it had an upward tendency.
4. These three facts, together with the
further one (which is only true to
limited extent, however,, that better
terms have been made with the freed
men, insure, we think, a cheaper cotton
crop than any since the war. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that hog and
hominy" enter very largely into the
price of cotton, and, with these articles
low, the cost of the crop to the planter
will be very materially reduced.
