RICE VERSUS COTTON,
I. Y. Shipping and Commercial List, Jan. 20.

n. Y. Shipping and Commercial List, Jan. 90
We notice the following telegram addressed
to the cotton growers of the South by Messrs
Dan Ialmage's Sons of this city, and think
that 1t is most timely and full of suggestion:
Wherever the culture Of cotton Is curtailed
we suggest the growth of rice. 1t is adapted
an all around crop, it is among the safest and
most profitable of the Southern crops; gross
results, $40 to SIS per acre cost of cultivation
$40 to s55 difference in outcome due to charac-
ter OF cultivation or season. The consumption
OF rice in this country is increasing annually
per capita and at far greater ratio than pro-
duction. The United States to-day needs
twice its present production to meet its home
demand. and were the product increased even
tenfold the surplus could be marketed abroad
at prices which would leave handsome margin
to planter
1t appears to lis that there is little use to re-
commend reduction of the area heretofore
planted in cotton unless at the same time
there be some recommendation as to prof.
table substitute. All Of the members of the
late cotton growing convention might possibly
observe their eminently wise resolve, but
what about the thousands of men outside OF it's
association and not in anywise under its in.
to do anything for the other fellow unless one
sees new dollar for the old one given up. 1t
might seem unklnd, but the probability is that,
having resolved that there ought to be a re-
duction many, if not most of the members of
the said convention, will go home and enlarge
their own individual area in the expectation or
nope THAI tnelt 0tHtt anu fellow members Will
have taken the resolution seriously, and SO
give them better chance to market their ex-
ira crop. There can be no question but what
there ought to be less cotton raised, and the
fearful and unsatisfactory results of the pres
ent year will not be lost if they shall burn into
themino OF every planter the wisdom land Eek
pediency of a diversity of crop. This lesson 1s
as yet but half learned, and the sooner that it
Is fully Learned that by SO much as one raises
at home he is independent of outside and ex-
traneous influences, the better. FIt may not
be possible to guarantee prosperity, but wise
diversity OF crop is certainly a guard against
adversely inasmuch as it is rare that there is an
all around failure. Many of our planter friends
are now having q practical illustration of the
folly OF putting all of their eggs into one bas-
ket. 1t would seem to us that rice offered a
most profitable outcome, and we believe that
either it or some other food product is among
the best. Men can do with most scanty habita-
ton, clothing, or even tobacco and whisky but
eat they must and therefore to this extent are
dependent upon those who furnish the food sun.
ply. Rice certainly would seem to offer the best
solution at the moment, inasmuch as the out
turn is far short of present requirements, and
any slight reduction in price would undoubtedly
stimulate its further use and so ensure a GOOD
prompt market for the grower
