Raleigh Cor. Citizen: In an inter
view with some leading cotton mill
men here, they say that most of the
North Carolina mills have a moder-
ate supply of cotton; probably
enough to carry them to March LIST.
The present prices of the manu-
featured product are entirely too low
with cotton at the current figures;
the probability is, therefore, that
most mills will be compelled to
shorten hours. It will be absolutely
necessary to reduce the quantity of
the output in order to enhance the
prices. The mills will certainly pro-
tect their employees as far as possible,
and, no doubt, will reduce the work
ing time each week, rather than shut
them out altogether. Mill men think
it probable that in the next sixty
days the working time will be cut to
four days in the week. The situation
is certainly critical, as the values
of raw cotton r grossly inflated.
1t appears that about 800 mills are
now in operation in this State, and
the number is constantly increasing,
nc less than twenty-six having been
chartered during the past twelve
months.

Our excellent Wesley Chapel CORE
spondent says that the farmers in his
section are leaving off their grain
sowing to some extent in anticipation
of increasing their cotton acreage.
This is not surprising. Cotton is
now at a price which gives the farm
er a good profit, and certainly he
has been on short profits long
enough, and the temptation to neg
lect the other crops for cotton is a
very natural and a very strong one.
While cotton is high and going up
yet, with every prospect for a good
price for a long time, still we don't
know what a year may bring forth.
It is to be hoped that our farmers
will not take the chance of Gripping
themselves by ~neglecting their sup
ply crops.-Monroe Journal.

date of October II, 1908, says that
the Government of Spain is to open
fourteen agricultural schools in va
rious parts of the Peninsula. They
are to be practical means of edu-
eating farmers not only in regard
to the crops raised, but in the use
of agricultural machinery and i'm

to equip them will be let to private
parties and bids are soon to be asked

So, ZOO, and it was sold this week for
something over $4,000, adding an
other $4,000 to the profits of the
