THE SELLING OF COTTON SEED,

S AZ ouo OVuVu udS dlTeauJ
created a scarcity of seed to keet
them all in operation, and made thu
planters somewhat firm in demand
ing an advance 10 price paid by the
mills for their seed. The editor oil
the Traiesman, Of Chattanooga, has
this to say on the subject: 1t is
questionable among cotton planters
whether it is economical in the end
TO sell their seeds to the oil mills,
and there are many planters VIII,
have persistently refused to sell a
pound. AS fertilizer its value is
So well known that these prefer to
return the oyerplus 70 the ground.-
Hence, the combination that has re
Gently been entered into among cot
ton seed crusbers along the Missis-
sippi to fix the price of seed at Sill
is being met by the planters in a
spirit of determined opposition
They claim that the seed is worth at
least SIS, and that the supply is not
so large as to warrant a fixed lower
price at this time. The consump
ton of cotton seed is increasing with
great rapidity, 80 great that it is
thought the crusbcrs have calculated
without due consideration of the LAW
of supply and demand, the growers
refusing to sell at any fixed price de.
termined by the crushers alone. In
this connection a meeting of the for
mer was held at Brunswick Point,
Warren County, Miss, recently, to
take action in this regard. At this
meeting it was decided and agreed
not to sell cotton seed under COM
pulsory price, and to store the seed
or use it as a fertilizer until better
terms could be agreed upon, or to
sell only to those mills that are not
party to the combination, which it
seems extends from New Orleans to
St. Louis. One of the concluding
resolutions adopted at this meeting
referred to prevailing sentiment in
very plain terms. It read as follows:
Resolved, That in conclusion we wish to
give notice to combinations of every des-
eruption, whether cotton seed OF otherwise,
that we are no longer slaves, that we are
free men, and perfectly able to take care
OF ourselves; can sellour products to whom
we please, and for fair price, and we do
not propose that tho prices for the same
shall be fixed by any combination which
plainly shows itself inimical to our vital
interests.
Whoever thinks about it at all will
agree that this cry of Coordination
is altogether new thing at the
South. But so naturally do trade
combinations follow trade currents
that it will not surprise any one to
learn of this or other combinations
following the development Of new in.
dustries at the South. This section
has simply ahead of it the same or
like experiences that have marked
the course of manufacturers at the
East. There has always been, there
must continue to be warfare between
the producer and the manufacturer,
as there is continuous rivalry be-
tween manufacturers themselves
The same difficulties that seem to be
attending the development Of cotton

Our attention has been called
to mistake which appeared in our
issue of the 18th. of August. A
communication from Mr.. NJ. II.
Thomson, accompanied by the An
nual Address of Major Hudson,
President OF the Farmers Congress,
to which he directed the attention
of our readers, was signed NJ. II.
Caruth, when it should have been
NJ. ii. Thomson. We hasten to
make the correction. These two
gentlemen, have been associated to-
gether until within the past year, in
the planting business, at Pecan Pt.
Mr.. Caruth we had met several times,
and formed a pleasant acquaintance,
whereas, we had met Mr.. Thomson
but once, and as we were setting the
communication alluded to, our mind
somehow dwelt, by association, on
Mr.. Caruth, and we somehow got
their aames mixed.
81 had hoped" says Mr.. Fhom-
son, in his note calling attention to
this mistake, "that this subject
would strike you favorably, and that
you would have given us 'leader"
on it."
Judging from our repeated fail
ures in the past in attempts to stir
the farmers to lively sense of their
own interests, we acknowledge that
the "subject did "strike " us, but
it was on our weak point-just where
our ability to do good and help our
neighbors seems to be the least un-
derstood and appreciated. g.

interest among our farmers to even
get them aroused to the Importance
of sending exhibits to our yearly
State Fair, and the great Exposition
now being held at Louisville, free of
cost for delivery, we conclude it
would be a still further waste oftime
and space, to call on them to send
delegates to a Farmers Congress,
when travelling and hotel expenses
would have TO be betrayed. Per-
haps an appeal fruns practical far
mer would have a more salutory eff

Philosophy OF Advertis-
inU

In his adasess to the editors Of
lndianna at their recent meeting at
Fort Wayne, Col. Pierce, of Chicago,
presented the following thoughts
with reference to advertising, which
are worth remembering. He said:
And in presenting beautiful
sheet geographically one should re-
member the advertisers as well as
the readers. A man likes to have
his advertisement pleasing to look
upon, catching to the eye and in
dicative generally of the advertiser.
This class Of patrons are so impor-
tant to success that they should re-
tceive encouragement. Particularly
should they be impressed with the
desirability of keeping their wares
before the public. A man never re =
allies the full benefits of advertising
till he has placed the matter before
the same people fifty or hundred
times. The first ad. is good, but the
one hundredth is worth more than
500 times as much as the first. Some
zone has said that the
First time man looks at an ad-
vertisment he does not see it.
The second time he does not no.
tice it,
The third time he is dimly con-
scious of it.
The fourth time he family re-
members something Of the kind be
fore.
The eth time he half reads it.
The sixth time he turns up his
nose at it.
The seventh time he throws the
paper down impatiently.
The eight time he eiaculates:
"There.s the confounded thing
again."
The ninth time he wonders if
there is anything IN it.
The tenth time he thinks il might
possibly suit somebody else's case,
The eleventh time he thinks he
will ask his neighbor if he has tried
it, or knows anything about it.
The ,welth time he wonders il the
advertiser can make it pay.
The thirteenth time he rather
thinks it must be good thing.
The fourteenth time he happens 10
think it is just what he wanted.
The fifteenth time he for long
time resolves to try it as soon as he
can afford it.
The sixteenth time he examines
the address carfully and makes a
memorandum of it.
The seventeenth time he is tanta-
lized to think he is hardly able to
afford it.
The eighteenth time he sees
painfully how much he is in need
Of that particular article.
The nineteenth time he counts his
money to see how much he would
have left. if he bought it.
The twentieth time he rushes fran
tically forth and buys it.
