TOO MUCH COTTON RAISED.
Southern Plsnt-ra Must Tarn Their At.
tsntion to Something Else.

tention to Som -thing Else.
Travellers passing through the South
ern states have their curiosity aroused
by seeing from the car windows large
fields of unpicked cotton going to waste
or being eaten by cattle. 1t Is explain
ed that a poor crop does not pay for
picking because cotton Is only about
five cents Il pound in the markets OF
New Orleans and Savannah. The season
has been cold and rainy, and 1t has
been difficult to persuade pickcrs to go
into the field for wages which the
planters have been able to offer them.
For these reasons thousands Of acres
have been abandoned. Some estimate
1t as high as 30 per cent. OF the entire
crop, and the farmers Will therefore
suffer II large loss for which they will
be compelled to increase the mortgages
that now cucumber their plantations.
1t does not pay to raise cotton ut five
cents pound except under the most
favorable circumstances. Thinking
men argue that there is no loss without
some gain. as the experience of this
season will drive many planters to raise
other and more profitable crops. Plant
crs associations have been organized in
all of the Southern states expressly for
the purpose of limiting cotton culture
and encouraging diversified crops. They
have even gone so far Ms To ask plant
ers to sign pledges 10 reduce their acre
age .. 10 and 20 per cent. but habit IL
strong. and new crops neccssitatc the
education of negroes. which is more
trouble than the planter cares TO take.

there were manifestations of patriotism
that were very gratifying to him. An oc-

at Savannah. 1t would have been. a
notable event in any city for the perfec-
tion of the arrangements, the distin-
guished character of the guests, the
speeches, the enthusiasm that greeted
every allusion to "A reunited country and
the renewed relations of affection be-
tween the two sections. II was veritable
love feast. and the demonstrations of
honor toward the President and the 10y
