"Angels calling, sweetly calling"
"Cotton Mania"
1t must be "cotton mania" that our
farmers have. Some Of them, however,
reason this way: They say they will
plant enough land in food crops to
make an abundance for man and beast,
and then make all the cotton they can
without going in debt. After the cot
ton is gathered they say they will hold
it until they can get good price. 10
this plan there can be no objection, for
as big cotton crop and q big provision
crop cannot be made the same year.

them have gone in debt for fertilizers
and mules, aud provisions even III some
cases.
