But his creditors accept cotton only
on all debts due them. All other agri.
cultural products are valueless Cotton
alone brings spot cash, say they, and
yet the south in past years has paid ont
millions annually for sun cured grass
to feed the stock engaged in making
cotton to glut the cotton markets of the
world with. We have already shown
the utter impossibility Of the farmer
ever being able to cancel that $1,000
mortgage with cotton, by the actual
sale OF seven bales at 3 cents per pound,
counting only the actual cost of picking
and covering it, If to this were added
the cost of picking. chopping, hoeing
and cultivating, we leave Others to com.
pute how much of the net proceeds OF

All cotton producers in Georgia and in
all the other old cotton states east OF
the Mississippi have been too much on
the ''all cotton" plan in the past years,
with Georgia far in the lead. We have
tried faithfully to make this matter
plain in cold facts and figures, and the
necessity of raising not only an opulent
abundance but superobundance of all
food supplies for man and beast, not
merely for home consumption on the
farm. but for every produces of the farm
that will find spot cash market in
every village, town and city in the state,
and at more remunerative prices than
cotton ever brought A few only OF
these have been indicated by us, because
every farmer can supply many addi-
tional products that will bring them the

mill hand can make $50 to $40 per
month, and has more money than the
average farmer has seen the past two
years. He has been trying to clothe
the world at his own private expense.
He sold in 1897 and 1898, 2, 500, 900 bales
of his best cotton at less than cent @
pound. He has been doing even more
charitable deeds than this in 1898 and
1899, but at heavy cost to himself and
family.
