THE PRICE OF COTTON.
A Prominent Cotton Buyer Suggests a
Great Combination for Mu-
tual Protection.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct "a The State
will print to morrow the following
from John T. Roddey, member of the
New York cotton exchange, and a son
of wealthy South Carolinian. Hehas
for some time been advocating some
concerted action by Southern farmers:
TO the thinking farmers Of the So14th:
For the past two years have made
cotton commission my business and
daily have l witnessed the downward
tendency of your product. If you will
think for moment you will realize the
fact that though you are the producers
of this country and should be the most
independent, yet you are the most de-
pendent people of America. Why's
Bee ause there are combinations on
nearly every article you use. The
manufacturers of the North combine
on everything and say what it shall
bring, while you sell your products for
whatever they are willing to pay you.
Why cannot you protect your cotton
in the same way9
81 should like, if it meets your ap
proval, to organize trust company
called the Southern Farmers Trust
Company, for the purpose of protect
ing YOUR products from the depressing
influences of specu laCOrs, spinners and
capitalists, and provide a means by
which you can name the price for your
products, instead of having the price
dictated to you, as is now the case. l
feel satisfied this can be done by form
ing a trust which would be able to
handle most of the cotton you grow
Let the capital stock be $50, 900, 600 to
500. 600, 900, subscribed entirely by the
farmers of the South, and divided into
as many shares as may be necessary
and small enough for every cotton
planter to subscribe. Let each farmer
take stock to his utmost capacity and
support the trust in every possible
way.
I'm case you receive 10 cents for
YOUR cotton, instead of cents which
YOU are now receiving, you save on a
crop of 5000, 900 bales about 5000, 600,
600, at least twice as much as the capi
tai stock of the trust company. In case
SPECTATORS should become frightened
even at the mention of the trust and
advance the price Of cotton, so much
the better for you, but very likely
they would attempt at first to bluff
you.
81 think it is now time to act. What
benefits the farmers or laborer unques-
tionabIy benefits all classes. If such a
plan should meet your approval,
should be more than glad to meet a
representative cotton grower from each
State or Alliance, either in New York
or in some Southern city, to see If
something cannot be done to bring
about some benefit to the South. Some
thing must be done or your lands will
not be worth cultivating.

them. 1t is not the rule of the country
to serve warm evening meal either,
and it is with great difficulty that l
can find hotels that will furnish a
warm supper for my company. Cow
boys are human, however, and the way,
they are honized by the Dutch makes
up for great many of the peculiari-
ties OF the country that they do not
like.
Notwithstanding the appreciative
and profitable audiences l find here.
from what I have seen of the low coun
tries, travelling from one end to the
other, have concluded that I prefer
having my ranch in Kansas. It is true
they never suffer from drouth here for
the seas, rivers and canals are higher
than the farm lands, and with bitches
everywhere irrigation is no trouble at
all. There are no fences here to be
kept in repair, either, as the fields are
divided by bitches filed with water.
The only fences are the dykes to keep
the waters back. These dy kes, which
are from one foot to fifteen feet high,
made of dirt and about as broad as
single track railroad dump, stand be
tween the farmer and the destruction
of his fields, in some places his life. To
cut one would be to food the country,
i'll some places with IL feet of water.
Canals run everywhere and the farm
products are taken to market on the
boats At this season barges loaded
with hay and cabbage may be seen in
every direction in Holland. The farm
ers of Belgium and Holland work
harder than they do in America be
cause of the lack of labor saving I'M
plements. They practice pinchiDg
economy all the year around and from
the little two-acre farmers of Belgium
and the cattle growers of Friesland all
lay by a few cents if not more to stead
lily increase the family savings,

rent paid was $25 per acre; there was
paid for purchased food "a, 500, and for
superphosphate 50, 500; and there were
sold at one time 600 fat sheep, at $22
per head; and the yield of wheat was
80 bushels per acre.
A complete analysis Of this report
shows that under the conditions then
prevailing in England the leading fac
tor in the solution of the fundamental
problem of scientific agriculture, viz:
how to maintain and increase the fer
tility of our lands while they yield at
the same time profitable crops-was
the feeding out on the land of immense
quantities of purchased food. 1t is
further evident that vast stores of or
ganic matter having been thus accu-
mulated in the soil, greatly increased
quantities of commercial fertilizers
could be used at a greatly increased
profit. It Is further evident that the
prices of butchers dominated and con-
trolled the whole system. Nothing of
this kind can be done to day without
entailing ruinous loss; not even by the
foremost agriculturist cultivating the
best farm in England. The attempt to
duplicate the details of the operations
of this prize English farm of twenty
years ago, in Baltimore county, would
soon bankrupt the wealthiest man in
Baltimore.
But if in England the presence Of
large stores OF, organic matter in the
soil is condition precedent to the sue
cessful use of commercial manuree,
how much more so is it here, where
our seasons of growth are 80 short and
just at the crisis of the crop so intensely
hot, and often, utterly dry9 In future
numbers this subject will be continued;
present limits are reached. Maryland
