PLANT LESS COTTON.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Ehe disastrous result of planting too
much cotton this year is already clearly
SHOWN by comparison with last year,
when the acreage devoted to cotton
was decidedly less.
Last year the amount of cotton mar
kered TO January 1st was 398, 192
bales, the average price realized was
2 So cents per pound, $37 81 per bale, or
$242, 939, $50.
This year 1880 O33 bales were mar
keted to January 1sG, the average price
realized was 6 O5 cents per pound,
$50 49 per bale, or 1921, ,358 4O6.
The planters shipped to market s6l,
941 Gales Of cotton more by January
1sr this year than last, and received for
them &21, $50, ga less money. In other
words, owing to the lower price, in
duced by overproductIon, the people of
the South have lost on cotton shipped
TO market by January 1st this year, the
total value of e6l. .841 bales, namely,
$32 724, 1O2, and $21, $50 944 besides,
making grand total loss or $54, ,3OE O46
To 1893-947, $40 8l7 bales were raised (;
average price Was z SO; proceeds 1922,
932, S99
In 1S94-95 8, ,9O1, 251 bales were raised /;
average price was 6.79; proceeds 9s8,
9I9 5O4
1866 7,157 S46 bales were raised ;
average price was 500; proceeds 292,-
234. 437.
1862 s.757, 964 bales were raised 4;
average price was 7.42; proceeds S27,
547, ,854
1t will be seen that in 1893-94 a crop
of z, 549, 617 bales sold for g. OLA 395
more tnan the large crop OF 9 9O1, PSI
bales the next year; in 1895-96 a crop
of only 7,157, 346 bales brought &3 3I5,-
933 more than the 1901, 251 crop, and
tnat the crop of s 7S7, 954 bales last
year brought $3s, 629 $50 more than
was received for 9,9O1, ,251 bales mar
keUed in 1894-95.
Cotton raising in this country is vir-
tually a monopOly-tWo-thi thirds of the
entire production each year is readily
taken by buyers in foreign countries,
and the planters in the South are justly
entitled to a fair remuneration tor
their labor. An over supply is the only
reason why they have TO sell 5000, 900
to 1000, 900 bales of cotton to foreign
spinners, without profit.
On account of the large crop and low

COTTON CROP RETURNS AND BY
PRODUCTS.

Eds Country GentZemGn:-Cotton
was formerly thought to be king of all
crops, but it has wofully fallen from it's
former prominence, and now is of quite
interior Importance among national
farm products. It is striking feature
Of Southern agriculture tnat the first
value of cotton to the farmer is but
comparatively small part of it's value
after it has left his hands, and that it
is subject to vast amount of expense
in it's disposal in the markets of the
world. It's first value is, however, a
very important matter, for it brings in
to the grower considerably more than
all the gold product Of the world, for
what is sent to foreign countries alone
Qeaving very large amount to be dis
tributed among the factories engaged
in manufacture at home) is worth 300
millions of dollars. The crop is re-
markable for the amount of labor spent
upon it beyond that which comes into
the hands Of growers themselves. In.
deed, this income to the Southern
farmers is not quite half of its ultimate
value.
A study of the figures relating to it
shows how the grover pays for the
marketing of il to far greater extent
than seems necessary, thus largely re
ducing his profits, apparently for want
of some associated method of disposing
of it. First, the picking of the crop
costs fifty millions yearly; this work,
after so many efforts to supplant hand
labor by machinery for the harvest
ing of it, being all done by the
slow hand process Of pulling the lint
from the bolls. After this first cost
comes the ginning, which is another
outlay on the part of the grower, and
then comes the baling, with cost Of
bags and ties-more money taken from
the crop; and of course leSsening the
farmers income. But the value Of the
seed, which was formerly wasted, ex
ceDt SO far as it was used as fertilizer,
goes to make up fully for this loss. and
the fifty millions of dollars made off
this part OF the crop more than pays
the fertilizer bile of the growers The
seed amounts to about eight thirteenths
of the whole weight of the uncleaned
crop, leaving the remainder for market.
