Georgia Farmers to Use n Covering Made
of Cotton.


The farmers of Georgia will never
use jutc again. The next crop will
be clothed almost totally in cotton
bagging, and jutc will be thrown
clear away. The Alliance Exchange
is busy continuously shipping cotton
bagging, even at this early period, in
great quantities to the various Ali
ances all over the State, and the
orders are increasing every day. Mr.
j. O. Wynn, Of the State Alliance
Exchange. has shipped $4,000 yards
Georgia, and is busily occupied filing
new orders for the article every day.
1T will be used exclusively this
season. he said. land although jutc
bagging has become about onc-fomth
as costly as cotton bagging, none Of
it will be used This would seem
strange at first. but when you con
slider the matter you viii ind that it
IS the best plan for farmers to use
cotton bagg!ng, even though it is
about four times the price of jutc. 1t
IS selling for IL cents Il pound, OF
about IL cents per yard. Jute has
gone down to I cents pound. or s
cents 4 yard.
"Thc reason that it is cheaper for
tie farmers to cover their cotton with
cotton bagging rather than with jute
Is because the consumption OF cotton
is increased considerably by using the
cotton bagying. This naturally i'll
crcasCS the demand for cotton, AMI
hence is profitable to thc farmers by
raising the price Of cotton. II that
rise IS only hall a cent. The difference
between the cost Of iutc and cotton
bagging is cOunterbalunccd. You can
sec, therefore. tho aIvisubility Of the
farmers using cotton Da2gins.

Then the tariff bill will be passed,
after which the force bill will be ia
