that as soon as the Rochester Club, with

FARMING AS A SCIENCE.

That noblest Roman among our agricul-
| tural magazines, the Southern CuitiyatCr,
| Atlanta, Ga, says the farming world has
been agitated for months on the impor-
lance of reducing the acreage in cotton.
But the essential point has been overlooked.
and that is reducing the cost of production.
II makes no difference to the farmer if If
costs him cents per pound to produce cotton
and he can only sell il for that sum, OF if il
costs him cents per pound aud can only
sell for six cents. But if he can make it at
q cost of cents per pound and sell it for
cents per pound it is different.
1t is difficult matter for the farmer to
arrive at the cost of the production of cot
ton per pound unless ne starts out with the
determination of so keeping accounts of
everything as will clearly show him at the
final footing up. Several years ago Hon.
W. L. Peek undertook the keeping Of such
accounts, and the results showed him that
the cost Of producing cotton by even
ordinary planters was not so great as has
been figured up by those persons who for
some reason or other are ever found swing
found that half bale of cotton 10 the acre
would cost the planter e Is cents per pound,
or s3l to the bale. He found that one bale
TO three acres would cost the planter 40
cents per pound, or $40 to the bale.
This calculation is based upon what
might be averaged as entirely bad farming
one bale to two acres is bad enough, in
all conscience while one bale to three acres
is simply fearful. The Cultiystor further
states, on the authority of Mr.. Peek, that
one acre made to yield ia pounds Of lint
cotton, as was the average Of the result OBJ
tanned in 1854 by seventy-four cotton
planters, would reduce the cost OF produc-
ton TO $3.50 per bale, or less than four
cents pound. One bale to the acre is a
thing easy enough under proper culture
ana management. On many occasions
very much larger weld has been made.
In 1854 MIR d. W. Perdue of Pike county,
Ga, made 1545 pounds OF lint cotton to the
down the cost of production TO $1,000 per
bale OF five hundred pounds. According to
this the farmer making such a crop, and
selling his cotton at the unusually low price
of eight cents pound, would have profit
OF $50 90 on the bale, or more than 5000 Oh
his acres operations.
So you see, as we stated in our article
last week, the thing for the planter to study
is not reducing of his production to force
prices up TO figures that will pay him for
bad farming, but reducing of the cost of
production. This, says the Cultivator.
should be the work of farm science, not
only in the production of cotton but every
other product of the farm The employ
ment of Improved implements in the cul-
ture, the ears and handling as well IS mar.
