REMEDY FOR LOW WHEAT AND COTTON

A general effort is being made in the
cotton States to induce farmers to reduce
the acreage devoted to that staple and
to raise other crops in it's stead. During
the past year many meetings have been
held In the interest of such a change.
and State boards have made the matter
the subject of discussion. In all the cot
ton States corn can be raised in abund-
ance, and yet the people of the cotton
belt scarcely raise the meat they con-
sume. These facts have been pointed
out with so good results that it is prob
able the breadth of land devoted to cot
ton will be much less this year than it
has formerly been. When this is done.
and the crop shall be reduced 10 or 90
per cent. there will be no surplus of cot
ton to crowd down the price to the fig
ures which have prevailed the past few
years--a price in which there is no profit
and scarcely living in raising.
What is being done by the cotton
growers should be done by wheat grow
ers. 1t was we'll enough, last fall, to
tell unreasoninR farmers that sixty five
cent wheat is the result of Republican
policy and that when the markets of
the world are opened to the farmers of
the country wheat will never fall below
81 bushel. Not an intelligent man in
the country could believe such an alb
surd statement, even when made by
Senator Turpie and Governor Mat
thews. Wheat is low now because
there is more of it in sight than at any
period in recentyears. 1t low because
all over the world more has been raised
than there is immediate demand for
Though the crop of 1891 was short in
Europe. it was an abundant one here.
and, in spite of foreign demand, large
amount of it was left over in the hands
of farmers who listened to Alliance pol
iticians who urged them to hold their
wheat for SO bushel. The crop of 1892
was quite generally an abundant one.
and with the stock car ried over and
the underestimate in this country
all the grain elevators are filled and
European markets are crowded from
other sources of supply. Consequently,
the price of wheat is low, and all the
tariff legislation that can be devised
will not raise it, since the relation of
supply to demand cannot be changed by
act of Congress. Legislation may in
sure conditions under which the masses
can earn wages which will enable them
to purchase all the bread their appe-
titee crave. but no further can it affect
the price of wheat. While wheat lands
must have high prospective value, in
view of the fact that they are nearly all
occupied in this country and the limit of
wheat production has been reached un-
less new methods of culture shall be
adopted, it would be greatly to the ad-
vantage of wheat growers if the acreage
could be reduced one-tenth, or even
more. This would go far toward wip-
ing out the surplus in sight, ard the
value of the crop OF the lcssened area
would be more than that now realized
from the larger acreage. Many of the
best farmers of Indiana no longer de-
pend upon the wheat crop, but change
from year to year. as they foresee good
prices for this or that product.
