Things We Have Noticed.

going to plant more grain and
loss cotton. In the fall we notice
that there has been just about as
much grain planted as there was the
year before.
We have noticed every year that
tho farmers are going to make pro-
visions enough to supply them
selves but notwithstanding this.
we notice that about tho samo num-
Der are engaged in hauling provis-
ions out of tho towns, which thoy
buy at ruinous prices
We notice every year that tho
country is next year going to be
self supporting but when next
year comes it is. painfully evidont
that the country gets its support
from tho far West. ..
We are told every Spring md
Summer by the farmers "Publish
in your paper that tho cotton crop
is going to be failure" and when
we smile incredulously, they toll us
Of the caterpillar, the boll-worm, the
drouth, the rust, tho bad stand, and
numerous othor indubitablo proofs
thut the crop must turn out q fail
ure. We suspect at the time that
they are trying to create an i'm
preston through the papers that
the crop will be small, so as to in
d,lce rise in tho price. But how
futile is their effort. The price of
cotton is never affected by news-
paper reports, and it always stays
down. At the end of each year we
notice that the crop reaches away
along toward 100000 bales, and
the farmers soil for less than it
| COSTS
We notice that the farmers try
every means-except the right one
to raise the price of cotton.
We notice that the policy Of
raising great deal of cotton and
very little provisions causes tho
country to languish, and spread
bankruptcy throughout the land.
We notice that some of the
Changers are wofully false to their
profession of raising their own
provisions and buying for cash ;
and we believe that they arc, the
truest Grangcrs who live at homo
and do not have store accounts.
We notice that farmers get more
advice than any other class of men,
and apparently pay less attention to
it, But we notice that the advice
still flows on, the supply seems IN
cXhnustible and us we believe il
is good, we propose to continue tc
