So Mote It Be.

We are optimistic enough to believe
that the recent financial panic, which in
a somewhat modified form still fingers
with us, will prove to be q blessing Gun
ningly disguised. 1t is a known fact
that farmers have suffered less on this
account than any other class, and that
they are now in a better financial condi-
ton than they were last year or the year
before. The principal effect of the panic
upon farmers. was to make them more
economical in expenditures and more
careful in outstanding their resources
and more thoughtful and prudent in
their plans for the future. The products
of farms the world must have at some
price, and that price must be paid, and
the farmer is so circumstanced that lie
a easily supply the difference between
ordinary and panic prices, with a little
more than ordinary prudence. The pro-
fits of a years work are not measured
by the receipts, but by the difference be-
tween receipts and expenditures. No
people in the world get along SO we'll
with so little actual cash as farmers.
Our farmers are now fairly prosperous,
and with the present tendency of
events will enter upon a new crop year
in better condition than for many
years.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

The Agricultural Crisis.

N. o. Times-Democrat
At the meeting of the planters of
North Louisiana at Monroe to consider
the agricultural crisis it was resolved
that the best remedies for the condition
of affairs prevailing in the South to-day
was to reduce the cotton acreage and
raise more food crops, such a cereals
and hogs.
The general sense Of the conference
was that the farmers had suffered more
than other classes, the cotton farmers
In particular. 1t costs an average of
six and a quarter cents a pound to
raise cotton, it was declared, which
sold at five cents and it is impossible
to carry on business long at these fig
ures.
The advice given was to diversity

plant not more than half the land in
cotton and the rest in cereals and grass

not on the range.

put into practical operation, as the
farmers themselves are compelled to
acknowledge. Take for instance, the
proposed reduction in the cotton acre.
age. This has been suggested for years
and strongly urged by the press; but it
is found impossible to make any combi-
nation that will carry out the idea. AS
n of the speakers said at the Monroe
meeting, human greed will induce
many farmers to plant full crops, parti-
cularly if they think that by the con-
certed action of q majority the area in
cotton and the crop will be reduced and
the price advanced
This has been our experience a dozen
times, and the frequent failures met
with in the effort to secure a reduction
IN the cotton acreage war; us how diff |
cult il not impossible it is. The great
problem for the farmers is to discuss
some way to put the proposition into
operation. Ii any one can suggest q
plan whereby this a be accomplished
successfully and the thousands Of per-

The proposition to raise hogs on the
farm instead Of on the range as hereto
fore, is q good idea for the Louisiana
This branch of farming re-
qulres care and attention; but it has
not received it in the South. On the
contrary, the hogs have been turned
loose on the range to get their food as
best they could, and the consequence
has been an excessive mortality among
hem, far heavier than in other lOcali-
lies where the climate is more severe

The fact that the Louisiana farmers

they are not likely to let the matter

If the experiences of the present year
do not teach our people the wisdom
nay, the necessity-of curtailing the
cotton production, it is very certain
that no number of conventions will do
so. We believe that the lesson has
been severe enough to have the desired
effect and that next year the production
will be reduced to a level which will
insure a fair price to the producer

Horses, says the New York Sun, are

herd Of 800 head, just off the range,
were sold at an average price of SIS
each recently, and a few days ago, at a
sale of fine stock near Portland, a
splendid matched team of sOrrel mares
were sold for $40. and a big bay horse
brought only $22.50. Half a dozen
years ago such horses would have sold
readily for 500 to $15O each.
