10 the Editors Of the Graphic III wish
to warn the people of this country through
your paper that a great disaster Is at hand.
We have had no failure Of the cotton
crop since 1863, and no general failure of
the grain crop since before the war.
A complete failure of both these crops
as ut hand. The open winter ought to
warn us Of the impending calamity. The
The coming season our crops win fail as
completely as they have failed in India
lpredict that famine will take place in
the United States before the present year
is over.
Another panic will add to the distress.
Our last panic was essentially stock panic.
The panic Of next fall will affect oil values.
Already the first symptoms of il are APP
parent in the decline of railroads. We
may shut our eyes to the future, but we
cannot alter facts. Famine and financial
ruin are close at hand.
These things are to punish US for our
hagetfulness Of God. We are, practically
a Aation Of disbelieyers. No such nation
has ever yet escaped punishment. Many
.of yeEr readers will mock at this assertion,
but they will find IL to be true. We have
given ourselves wholly to selfish money
making, regardless whether we make money
Il.

CoRN VS.. CoTToN.-The Patrons of
Husbandry in the South are endeavoring
to impress upon the planters the truth Of
the agricultural axiom that they have
heretofore raised too little corn and too
much cotton. The anxiety to raise huge
cotton crop prevents many planters from
planting corn, so that they have to buy
cereal food at much higher cost than if
they were to grow it at .home. In Geor-
gia the State Grange recommends that one
third the land be planted in cotton, and
two-thirds in corn and other food products.
a survey recently made through the
Georgia cotton regions is said to demon
strate that this plan is being SO generally
adopted that the cotton area will be dimin-
ished one-fourth, compared with last year.
