Cotton Seed.
Marksville Review.

Cotton seed buyers are increasing
in number each year. From this it is
evident that the business is a very
lucrative one to tho Cotton Seed
Companies From five and SIX dollars
a ton seed has more than doubled in
prices. From what we can learn the
seed companies can we'll afford to
pay the planters from $40 to $50 a
ton and then have a large margin
of profit. The seed companies have
their trusts why can not the Farm
er's Alliance see to it that the farmers
insist upon full price for their seed.
Let the seed in Avoyellles beheld say
for two or three months after the
ginning season.and then We are sat.
isied that instead of SIG per ton our
farmers will get at least SIS for
every ton Of seed. We predict that
in 1889 if our farmers study their
own interest and are not eager to sell
their seed they will obtain at legst
SIS per ton for their seed.

The total assessment of the South
will be considerably more than we
predicted q month ago. The re.
turns are a little backward, but

than the other State will do. In,
complete returns lrem Mississippi
indicate an Improvement eff $li,-
900 1851, and for Louisiana of $l6,-
900 5000. Tennessee, which is very
nearly through its work, expects to
do far better and claims that it will
lead the South 10 the increase over
1883. 1t is certainly doing we'll.

$6,472,984, and Shelby (Memphis)
Of $4,7l2,s83, increases of from 10
to 20 per cent. Estimating for the
remaining counties, the Chattanooga
Times puts the total assessment of
the State for 1889 at $356,456,7 6l,
an increase Of $26, 961 ,405 aver
1888, and of 164,616,37s over 1887.
For these four State, Louisiana
Mississippi, South Carolina and
Tennessee, the increase over the
assessment Of 1883 is $68,256,455,
or more than e.3 per cent. If the
others do as we'll. and they are
generally States that shows a larger
increase, the Improvement in the
