The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-12-04

A bulletin issued from the Texas agri-
cultural experiment station and devoted
to the cost of cotton production in Texas
was Of more than passing Importance
From actual experiments it appears that
cotton can BE- produced hand picked. at
cost of 400 cents a pound and machine
picked at J. - cents a pound. These are
the lowest figures given. Other expert
ments are approximately as cheap. These
experiments We're not ideal in the sense
that conditions were selected. They
were the actual experiences of practical
farmers in Texas. The cost included
rent Of land and pay of all labor from
planting to marketing The significance
of this is tremendous. If. says the Dallas
News. the cotton planters of Texas could
or would adopt system bringing cost as
low as cents a pound. il is plain that
they would soon solve the problem of
southern agriculture
The cheapest cotton noted in the bull
letin was produced on land that had
already grown crop Of ICas. In another
place the farmer, Mr. W 4. Clark of
Bell county. exhibits his intensive system
of farming, by which, with peas followed
by cotton, he made a net profit of $50 As
an acre. 1t is to be observed. too. that this
profit was made. not without. but with
fertilizer, and the fertilizer is charged up
IN the expense. The best farmers IN the
state use all the fertilizer they can rake
and scrape TO aid them in the production
of their crops And this has been proved
to be a paying investment. according to
the authority referred TO, which further
adds
If jeff Wcllborn could raise cotton at u
cost of ,. II cents per pound (and he did
on post oak upland, what could he do on
the rich river bottoms, What could
others do: When the cotton picker
which Mr. Wellborn used or some other
comes into general use throughout the
state, and other improved machinery, and
farmers have learned to raise what they
want to consume, instead of paying out
their money for nearly everything that
goes on their tables, and even into the
mouths Of their beasts the millennium in
cotton raising will have arrived and not
before. ..-..
The secret of cheap cotton raising,
other things being equal, lies in doing as
much of the work as one and his family
can do themselves, and in not drawing on
a grocery too heavily, particularly when
hired labor is to be FED. Taking this view
Of the matter, no one can doubt that in
time when the cotton harvester comes
into use, cotton may generally be raised
in Texas during favorable seasons for
even less than 81 cents per pOund But
SuppOSing it should cost 3 or even cents
there is still money in cotton and always
will be

To Keep Sweet Potatoes.

A writer in the Journal Of Agriculture
says, the essential conditions Of success
in keeping sweet potatoes as laid down in
an exchange by one who has had large ex-
perienCe with potatoes, are On TO have
them fully matured when dug: ~ TO dig
before frost, or as soon ther after as pos
sible l3l to keep them clear of frost. rain.
rogues and moisture rising from below
~ TO cover lightly until they have gone
through their sweat" and are thor
oughly dry, putting on more cover. as the
weather grows colder, until by the time
severe weather sets in. there should be
sufficient dry earth above and around
