COTTON PLANTING TO PAY DEBTS.

COTTON PLANTING TO PAY DEBTS.
We have all along been of the
opinion that exclusive cotton
planting engaged in to pay debts
and mortgages, could not be sue
cessful-that it 1cas not, our expe-
rience in business has shown us
Every farmer goes on from year to
year hoping that next year prices
will be better-he lives as it were
like many of our old planters in
She hope of realization of his
Ethiopian dream Of labor that will
gang like slavery, and be forced to
make crops By physical power.
The GO cents per pound for cotton
Immediately after the war, has
ruined more farmers since than
can be counted. They think be-
cause it then commanded that
price it should now, forgetting
that the demand was great, and
of four years growth while the
supply was totally inadequate to
meet it. At present the demand
is for 100000 bales, but the
farmers of the South rush 4,5OO,-
600 into market every year, and
wonder why the price sinks so
low. AS a general rule planters are
more in debt now than during the
first year after the war. He will
continue to go in deeper until he
diversifes his crops-plants that
which will pay; produces on his
place what is consumed first-~and
then cultiyates and sells his cot
son for a profit, after he has made
his bread and meat sure. Plant
ing cotton to pay debts when it
costs III cents per pound to pro-
duce cotton, which the farmer
sells for 10 cents per pound, is
gambling on the hope Of q rise in
the price, and the planter gives
the odds of III to 10. If farmers
are reduced to that to save them,
the best thing is to sell ont, pay
all they can and start anew. Let
our farmers try 25 per cent of
tl,ejs eultivable lands in cotton,
Is per cent in corn, roots, green
crops and grasses, and they will
at once begin to make money and
then they can begin to pay their
debts.

All fruit trees are liable under the
best of cultivation to have more or
less insects hafbor on them. As soon
as the leaves have fallen, will be
found profitable season to paint or
wash them, bodies and all, the main
limbs and crotches, with some kind
of alkali wash. We practice putting
up leach of wood ashes, and using
the Iye therefrom but wash from
commercial potash will perhaps be
equally good. The ming|ing a little
