A DANGER TO THE SOUTH

With almost every issue Of this
paper for four years, especially
! during the winter and spring before
crops are pitched, we have urged
our farmer friends to make plenty
Of breadstuffs. The Baltimore
Manuf actmer's Record is up on al
most all subjects pertaining to tue
South: 1t says:
"a great many well-lnformed PEG
pie clam, and with some reason,
that persistent efforts are being made
by the "Dears" to depress the price
Of cotton, and that after the crop is
ont of the farmers hands an equally
as vigorous effort will be made to
advance the price. Herein is q dan
ger to the South. Next spring if
the farmer fnds that cotton is high
re is apt to forget his resolutions
made while it is low TO plant less
cotton and more grain, and delude
himself into believing that he will
raise just one mors big crop and get
big prices for it, because he will
argue. TIC stock on hand is small
and prices high, and this will GER
tainly keep up prices through the
next season. Vain delusion. He
will only be playing a losing game
again. If the Southern farmer wants
to get through the season Of 1892
SO in good shape he will have to
raise his own foodstuffs next year,
because every indication points TO
continued high prices for grain aud
provisions. The Southern farmer
ought not to be tempted into raising
cotton to the exclusion Of foodstu f.,
90 matter how high cotton may go
this spring"
