The ct.!.. Picker.

1t is almost uncomfortable that our
Southern States, so abundantly blessed
with splendid climate, a most produc-
tive soil and virtual monopoly Of
worlduscd plant. should be in such poor
financial condition, and yet what seem
ingly should he the source of great
wealth, the cotton plant is in reality the
very thing that Is bringing the South year
by year ncarer-to bankruptcy. Cotton
has been planted 10 such an extent, 10 the
exclusion Of other crops, that on Oct. s,
1891, a convention of cotton planters As.
scmbIed at Memphis, Tenn, to devise
some plan for decreasing the production
OF cotton and the increase of such food
products as are used on the farms. there.
by making the farmers self sustaining and
independent. The sentiment of the con.
vcntion was that the South must raise
more food or 20 hungry.
About % 900, 600 of acres are planted
in cotton, for which there is a cash mar
kct, and yet the paradox remains that Is
rule, the planter has ortgaCed all his
crop before plantinga scotland he finds,
alter the crop is picked, ginned, baled
and sold, the balance is on the wrong side
OF the ledger. The crop has cost moro
than the price for which it was scotland
the one item that overShadows all others
Is the cost of picking, which amounts TO
more than 500, 900, eco annually, and
abSorbS the time and attention OF all 50
that other interests are neglected, and
even then it is estimated that more than
SO, OOO, 600 worth of cotton is ploughcd
under each year for want of pickers. A
release from this thraldom is now at hand,
as the following report will show:
Waco, Tex. Dec. |, 1881.

South of Cotton, and the heavy expense

served for that purpose, and we made a
