DOES IT PAY TO RAISE COTT0N2
The experience Of the present season is
likely TO suggest this enquiry to the farmers
OF Texas. With the cost OF producing cot
ton 80 great as 1t has been for the past few
years ana the prices at which II has sold SO
bw, there can be but tmall profit realized
lroln its production even when the seasons
are favorable. But observation and expert
ence emonstrate that it Is q very uncertain
crop and that the prospective failure OF the
present year Is by no means remarkable
or unusual event. 1t is the part Of wisdom
then for farmers to cast about and see II
there IL not something else whereby living
may be earned on less prccarious termsthan
by raising cotton. IL Is a very difficult
thing to get out OF old ruts after running in
them great while, but II Is often essential
to success and prosperity that II should be
done. When slavery existed cotton raising
was profitable because lauor was cheap AMI
hence the cost Of production was light, but
since the war the people in many sections
OF the south have been Impoverished by
planting too much cotton to the neglect of
other products, aud to day wherever there
has been more attention given to raising
grain and stock and less to the production
of cotton there is less poverty and d,bt and
lever mortgages on farms. In most in
stances when the cotton crops have been
most abundant In their yield prices have
been low and farmers have had either 10
h0ld or sacrifice their cotton. We do not
wish To be understood AZ advising that cot
ton raising be stopped altogether, but we do
believe that much less should be raised and
more land devoted TO the grasses aud pro-
visions, and more stock of all kinds raised
Cattle, hogs and indeed every species OF
gentle stock will command good prices at
AL times, and grain can oe utilized to good
advantage aud profit by feeding II to stock
aud thus increasing their value. Mixed
