BETTER TIMES AHEAD.

The stand which many merchants are
taking on the question discussed at thus
time is most gratifying and indicates !
bright future for farmers generally. hen
the merchants of the South join hands
with the cotton producers, both giving
their full cooperation in an earnest, sli.-
cere effort to promote prosperity for eacn
industry. the South will whip the fight
she is now waging against foreign opprcs
sion, and no country on the globe will
b. more desirable for commercial and
agricultural success.
The price of cotton is now good and
can be maintained if strong pull TO-
gether is made next fall. If farmers,
however, get no cooperation from then
merchants next fall and are forced to
rush their staple on the market to pay
for high priced mules, guano, corn, meat
and -four, the market can be swung any
way the spectators and spinnerG want it,
provided a large crop is made. Be not
overcorfident because q shortness OF SUP
plies in 1903 have made cotton 60 to II
cents per pound Let not one side try to
make it all in one year, but let merchants
and farmers come together with steady
and fixed purpose to win in a common
cause.

this sentiment will continue to grow. OF

UNFAIRLY change existing methods of con-
Quoting their business unless some pres

present heavy demand for fertilizer ma
terials by farmers who desire to mix their
own formulas, get better goods FOR less
money than the usually ready made fer
.tilizers sold in the markets. l notice that
many large supply merchants are buying
these materials in bulk and selling them
to farmers at reasonable prices. The
merchants who are doing this take 6
broad view of the situation. They real
ize that, in Georgia especially the fertil-
izer business has grown to enormous pro-
portions, and if they can assist their GUS
toners in cutting down their guano bills
and at the same time furnish them with
better material to make crop, that it is
a good proposition for both sides. Tie

plan of buying the materials and mixing

than the ready made goods can be bought
for. Their customers also get the full
advantage of the new law under which
farmers can buy their acid phosphate IN
bulk, and the man who wants one ton can
buy as cheap as the man who needs
carload. These same merchants will also
advance farmers rs per cent OF the value
of their cotton stored in the warehouse
and lend them this money at the rate of
6 per cent per annum, which the past
season enabled many farmers to ware
house their cotton at 8 cents and hold i:
until the prices recently advanced to -
cents per pound. Now / cite this, as an
illustration of what merchants generally
should do in every local market in the
country. The farmers ought to get to-
gether and bring these matters to the at
tention of their merchants and invite this
kind of cooperation. The merchants are
safer in getting better fertilizer materials
for their customers and a cotton ware
