The discussion regareing the abolish

how Il is paid. In order to make this
point clear, the Eagle has taken the
trouble 10 look over the records for
1896, and offers the following as the re-
suit Of such research:
The mayor received q salary Of 5000
per annum, and performed the duties Of
both mayor and recorder, and also
agreed to furnish legal advice at his
own expense, except in complicated
cases. Legal advice costs the city this
year s25 per annum. His peTquisiie In
each case Of conviction is 75 cents,
which Is paid by the defendant, and
frequently remitted. His salary for
the present year has bsen fixed At t575.

THE COMING corToN oRop.

THE COMING COTTON CROP.
The cotton crop Of 1895 has
been gathered and nearly passed
out Of the hands Of the producers,
who have realized from two TO
three cents more on the pound
than was expected when planted.
WhyY This increase in price is
due to two causes. First, the re.
duciion in acreage; second, the de.
crease in yield per acre. With a
iull crop the past season 8 cents
would no doubt have been full
average price. Some farmers are
grumbling because they did not
plant more cotton and less corn.
A little figuring would show them
that in proportion to the increase
IN the cotton crop the price would
be reduced, and more money would
have been required to cultivate
and gather il, which would leave
less profit. II the coming cotton
crop is increased generally, as we
hear the farmers talk of doing,
and a full average yield is pro-
duced, they will find cotton below
. cents the current year. The
wise course for farmers 10 pursue
is TO plant sufficient crop Of corn
and all other kinds Of crops needed
for home consumption, and enough
for their non.producing neighbors,
and after that TO devote their at
tention TO cotton, If they prefer
growing cotton for market TO the
raising Of pork and mutton. My
experience and observation for
ihiriy-eighl years in Texas has
been that those who produce the
necessaries Of life at home, and
have some TO spare, are those who
never have to give a mortgage.
'ris true corn is cheap, and why?
Because farmers have not beeyes
and hogs to feed it to. II they
had instead Of Is to % cents per
bushel, they could get from 35 to
80 cents for their corn.
Farmers should improve their
stock. They should keep the
very hest, and avoid the expense
Of any that do not yield a profit.
To illustrate. With Texas grow.
ing two million bales Of Gotten,
and other states reducing their
producing capacity at the same
ratio, cotton would reach . cents
or more. Planting the remainder
Of their land either in corn, oats,
wheat and other crops, and raising
stock to consume all the surplus,
then would the cry cease that
farming does not pay. 1t is safe
to say that those who adopt this
course will succeed far better than
those who do not do so, and il is
further safe to say that il farmers
plaat as largely in cotton the pres.
ent year as they did in 1894, and
as sparingly as in other crops,
they will regret it.
