FARMERS BADLY BEHIND.
Has Been Too Wet for Them to Work.
Cost of Growing Cotton.

The season in southwest Georgia is
three weeks behind this year. This
4 is the consensus of opinion among the
farmers, who are exerting every en-
ergy to catch up with their work.
The cause assigned is the inces-
SAINT rains. For more than two
months there have been heavy rains
every week, and the ground has been
fairly soaking with water. The fields
which ordinarily at this season of the
year are in fine condition for blowing
have been spotted with water, and the
state of affairs is a great deal worse
than many have suspected.
In regard to the coming season it is
estimated that the cost of growing
cotton this year will be more than
heretofore. The reason for this is
that the cost of all farming implements,
fertilizers and the like are higher by
from 20 to 100 per cent than they were
last year.
1t has heretofore been claimed that
cotton could be grown at profit at 5
and E cents, Such will not be the case
TINS year, however, it is claimed by
farmers and those who care in a posi-
4 ZION TO know the exact state of affairs,
1t Is estimated that the cost of raising
the staple viii be 6 cents. In order to
maze a profit, therefore, the price
Will have to be above 6 cents. Few
people have taken into consideration
thlS point, and those farmers who are
increasing in acreage with the belief
'nat they can make profit with the
price at E cents will awaken to find
themselves in hole.
Cotton planting time is already on
hand, and many of the farmers have
not yet finished planting corn.

population of from fifteen to twenty
Thousand, as the ratio to increase after a
city attaiDs certain population, is
much greater than at the beginning Of
the city's history, or during it's first cycle
OF ten years
There are many things proposed for
this city now in the way OF industrial en-
terpl ises which should make this city
fairly jump in population.
These are the natural outgrowth OF
settlement on the western slope of Colo
RADIO. The history of any city shows the
exact conditions pointed out in this
article.
The Sentinel hopes that the census re-
turns will show a much larger figure OF
population than the estimate it hae
made, but as in all things it would
rather be on the conservative side than
TO make extravagant predictions, which
there can be no hope to fulfill.
That this city is the commercial me-
tropolis of the western slope is conceded
by almost every town lying contiguous
to it, and what is more satisfactory none
OF the sister cities feel IN the least any
jealousy over the matter, but have done
what they could to assist the city in
realizing it's ambition. For all these
favors Of sentiment and helpfulness the
city should be gratified and we believe
is to greater or less extent. 1t may
not show itselfin the beginning but very
kindly feeling is entertained for all the
towns and cities on this 81 e of the range
in which 1t is hoped city of impor-
tance will grow to full proportions.

The census of the city OF Grand juno
tion will be taken commencing June 1st,
1900.
Among the residents who take an in
terest in the growth and population OF
OF the city there is considerable specu-
lation as to the number of population of
the city and county
Various estimates OF the clty's popula-
tion can be heard on the streets every
day, some Of them away of from what
any person having any judgment what
ever would estimate, while others are
close to what will be the result when it
is announced.
In 1880 it was supposed the city had
population somewhere near the three
Thousand mark but when the count was
finally made it was only 2O27. There is
some discussion over this plumber, one OF
the census takers, Captain Pease, max
ing it seven less than that number.
The Sentinel does not care particular
ly to prophesy but it will say that in its
judgment the population in round num-
bers OF the city will be about 4,5OO. A
careful study of the polling list Of the
city leads it to make that estimate OF the
population. This is somewhat below
the estimate generally stated by many
people, some placing the population at
five Thousand and some going as high
even as six thousand.
II a city more than doubles it's popu-
lation in ten years it speaks we'll for the
progress of the community.
During the last census period time
OF depression was experienced that may
not take place again, at least not in the
severity of the panic Of '93, in the next
ten years. The coming cycle OF ten
