There is little doubt but that cot.
ton will command good prices fol-
the first month or two Of the com.
ing season, the old crop now almost
exhausted and che spinners com.
pel,ed to wait for the new crop for
a supply, and as consequence we
hear Of merchants now offering to
contract with producers to take
their entire crop next fall at stipu-
lated price of 10 cts per pound.
Which 10 itself is guarantee Of
coming prosperity, and if anything
like fair crop is made our people
will find themselves in a bettercondi-
ton than for years, aud by judicious
management may get out from nn-
der the burden Of debt, which has
been the greatest drawback to the
success of the farm in this section.

SOLVING A PROBLEM.

There is everywhere complain
of scarity of farm labor, and il
there were no scarcity of labor in
the country there would be G
scarcity in the cities. There is
work for every person who ought
to work, and if there are loafers
and sh;rks and others. who ought
to but will not work, the balance
between demand and supply of
this greatcommodity is destroyed
and necessarily the demand ex-
ceeds the supply. Labor is scarce
on farms because much of the
country muscle goes to the cities
where wages are higher and the
means of spending wages every
where abound. True many of
these men and boys from the
country may be seen digging
sewers, shoveling clay, sweeping
streets, driving garbage wagons
and many of them on the rock
pile or in the municipal boarding
house, awaiting an assignment.
But only few of them can be con
sidered as having bettered their
condition, unless in their own
estimation decorated vice is to be
perferred rather than plainvirtue
The solution of the farm labor
problem is difficult not hope
less task. Already improved i'm
PIGMENTS have enabled one man
to do as much farm work as three
or four men could do before. But
the profitable use of such i'm
Elements requires higher ordor
of intelligence than is required
to drive a mule and guide a turn
plow, and to secure such labor
higher prices must be paid. I'm
proved live stock is far more
profitable than scrubs; but the
of fine stock calls for
greater intelligence and skill, and
better men at better pay are re-
luired here. But this better
paid labor is more profitable to
he employer than the other sort.
Scarcity of farm labor will com
Del farmers to do some thinking.
They will have to plan labor saw
