Wilson German bill against the

If all the nonsense that is said
and sung and written about sup.
ply and demand and the market OF
the world, 1t would be well to put
a pin about here; that which the
American market gardener, farmer
fruit grower and matchmaker can
grow at home and sell at home,
is about all that he is going to be
very certain of in the near subse-
quently. This being a bedrock fact
1t Is the part Of wisdom to build
upon it, and then when the floods
of outside supply come roaring
against the home market the walls
of American protection will be
effectual as barrier to bar them
out. Be wise in time, and you will
be wise for all time, is a saying
that has pertinent application in
this living present.

There will never be any high
priced cotton in Texas or any other
state 80 long as the supply so far
outruns the demand as not to let
it's narrative be seen for dust. Cot
ton is coming in too freely from
the Egyptian fields, and in so
much better condition than the
American staple, that it is sheer
folly to sit down on the doorsill OF
regret and mourn for the old days
of ten cent cotton. 1t is never
going to return, and the American
cotton producer must adjust his
crop to the conditions now exist
ing or he will be lost in the shuttle.
There is no longera question Of the
reinforcement of cotton as king
Even the hens of the country can
lay more moneys worth than the
cotton fields can turn out. Divers
ify your crops, is the voice that
wisdom utters In the ear Of
the farmers of this south
land. The man whose ears are

soonest.
