But little change has been noted in the condi-
tion OF the produce market during the week.
hogs and sheep are very scarce and choice beef
cattle are not abundant by any means. Sheep
have advanced to 81 cents and hogs to 6Iz cents.
POTATOES and hay continue week. Hides and
SKINS are coming in more freely than for some
time past but prices have not changed.
In the jobbing trade the only changes were an
advance OF Il cent all around on sugars and
asIight decline in vegetables. Some new pota-
toes have come in from San Francisco and sell
at cents per pound. Honey is a little higher
and dressed pork is up to Q cents.

Corn and Hogs VS.. Cotton

To the Progress:
The time has come for diversi-
fed farming, as cotton is now be-
low cost of production. Every
year for the past ten farmers have
resolved, in the fall, to plant less
cotton next spring, but planting
cotton is a habit; next spring came
and he would say, "Of course cot
ton is low, and going lower. but l
have certain obligations to pay
next fall, and it will take SO many
bales to pay me out" So be
plants to make a little more cotton
than ever. But now stop, farmer
of the South, and think. Don't
plan. so much cotton. Let us fig
ure on this problem. We will ad-
