to the direct profits they get out OF their
cotton crops, and giving second place
to the indirect profits obtained through
the prosperity of the country at large
They have found from long experience
that they get very little OF these indirect
profits.
1t is almost impossible to get all cotton
planters to meet together. 1t Is about
as impossible to get them represented or
properly represented in farmer con-
presses or other like organizations. Let
every farmer do what is best for him
individually and the desired general re
suit will be secured, for In the very
great majority Of cases what is good, TOR
one is good for all. The prevailing
pra ctice has been to plant about twenty
acres in cotton to ten In provision crops,
thirty acres to the mule being the usual
allotment. Now there ought to be an
equal division Of land between the two
sets of crops, and shifting of the two
halves from cotton to provision crops,
and from provision crops to cotton every
year. InuS uItteH dCleo III oo''o"' W"

and small grain followed by peas I'M
mediately after harvest. This leaves
the grain land In good shape for cotton
the next year, Its soil well supplied with
heterogeneous matter, and needing only
phosphate and potassic manures. Cot
ton land is always adapted to grain. The
chief drawback in such rotation Is the
difficulty in getting the cotton crop out
of the way in time to SOW fall grain
One solution of this difficulty might he
in planting short limbed or cluster
varieties of cotton, so that plows could
be run between rows without injuring
the cotton when putting in grain
Another solution might be the planting
of early maturing varities Of cotton, so
that this crop may be picked'out early
In the season and gotten ont of the way
Such division Of crops would insure an
ample supply of provisions, obviating
all draft upon cotton money to buy
them, and at same time rednce The
acreage of cotton one fourth, and thus
help to keep up its price.
