Cannot be Suhdued.

In tie spring of 1865 the army
Of the COnfcderacy was sadly
dwindling in numbers from lost
qope and want of provisions, as
well rs from the desperate hard~
ships to which they had for so
many years been subjected. Many
seemed discouraged and the officers
undertook to make speeches to
keep up the spirits and keep alive
the hopes of the soldiers. Gen
Benin@, of Georgia, better known
as cod Rock" was one of the
speakers selected on one occasion
in front of Richmond. While ad
dressing the troops he likened the
Confederacy to IAN old dry cow
hide. He said: "The Confed-
eracy cannot be subdued. Press
1T down on one side, it will rise
again on another. SO long us it
is kept dry it is impossible to put
it down. But let it get wet and
it's gone.
Later on, during the retreat
from Petersburg to Appomattox,
Gen Bening passed Bratton's
Brigade. While resting by the
roadside some wag called out to
him: General, what do you
think of the old skin now ?" He
reined up his horse, looked around
and frowned as if he intended to
order the man put under arrest,
when another soldier called out:
81 think she is getting rather wet"
The General smiled and rode on

Another Money Crop.

One of the chief reasons why
our farmers have been clinging SO
tenaciously to cotton is because it
would bring cash-some amount
of it-auy day in the year, and
there was hardly anything else
that could he depended upon to
DO that. We trust that wheat
Will supply another cash crop,
coming in as it does at the time it
is most needed, between cotton
crops, distributing money all
along through the year.

mer. You say wheat will not
bring much money! Neither will
cotton. But let us see how they
will compare. An acre that will
make half bale of cotton ought
to make ten bushels of wheat.
The wheat is worth $40; the cot

duct from each the cost of cult.

for market. Which leaves the
larger sum! But we are not
through. What is the value of
hay or other crops that can he

this to the wheat money and COM

mind also how much more the
wheat straw is worth than the
cotton seed. Consider, too, which

this comparison, SOW some wheat

Finally, let us call your atten~
ton to the fact that every addi-
lional acre you SOW in wheat re-
duces the cotton acreage just SO
much, and tonds to raise the
price. Manufacturers stop their
factories to reduce supply and
raise the price. You don't have
to stop your factory; you have
only to shift your belt from cotton
to grain and go on producing
what yon and your neighbors
need for your own consumption.
