The total cotton crop of the year end
ing Sept 1, was 9,u3531S bales, an in
crease over the previous year of $685.
7o2 bales. The New Orleans Picayuuc
says that the industry has passed
through the worst year IL has expert
enced in forty years a good portion of
the crop sold for less than the cost Of
production, and prices touched the low
est figures experienced since 1916. The
south should reaii that cotton is no
longer king, and that diversified pro-
ducts bring the best results from the
farm When they can raise corn oats,
potatoes and the same crops that are
raised IN the north, it is short sighted
for southern farmers to continue rails
ing nothing but cotton, while they have
to buy an their bread stufs and food
products.
