From the Macon News.

From the Macon News.
The speech of President j. Pope
Brown before the recent meeting of the
Georgia Agricultural Society at Angus
ia, in which he stated that the farmers
OF the south are now in better condition
than for many years past, is attracting
widespread attention, and has opened
afresh the discussion of agricultural con-
d;tjons in Georgia.
There are many wLO agree With Presi-
dent Bro WINS views, and there are many
who do not. Among those who do not
are the farmers themselves.
Farming is the foundation Of com
merce. We have nothing except that
which the earth yields, and if the farm
er is not prosperous there is a natural
depression in every other line of indus
try. Hence, the News has cOntended
from the beginning that the only practi-
cal method of bringing about return of
prosperity is TO first make the farmer
prosperous. The widespread depression
which exists in almost every other line
of business is evidence that the farmer
is not prosperous without the ocular
demonstration. which we have of his
pinching poverty.
That there are prosperous farmers is
very true, but it is not quite fair to judge
class by the exceptions.
The great cotton brokers have estimat-
ed the new crop of cotton at II, 900, 900
bales in case of an average yield, and
have located the price at cents pound.
1t will, therefore, be necessary to plant
four acres in cotton to get enough
money to purchase thirty bushels of
corn.
There is no profit in raising cotton to
sell at cents per pound, or even double
that price. 1t is, however, necessity
with the farmer to plant cotton. 1t re-
| quires money to run the farm, just as it
does any other business, and in order to
obtain money and supplies he must
| pledge crop of cotton,
The truth is, our farmers, as a class,
are not prosperous under present con.
| ditionE. And neither, for that matter,
is the average business man. The times
are hard and the farmers are poor, as is
almost everybody else, but they are max
! ing the best of the situation, and are
! hoping for better times
| What is needed is a revival of business,
with more money to do business with
and better prices in all lines.
