Never Before.

Jackson, Miss. April 23.-The question
of the next cotton crop, for which planting
is at last in progress, is now, In this
district, supercedinS all controversy over
the size of the crop OF 1903 No prognos-
iications at this date can be based on
anything except the probable cotton acre
age of the year Now on this subject
opinions vary. An official of the Missis-
sippi State Experiment Farm recently
made public his belief that the acreage
given TO cotton In this state, in 1904. would
be virtually double that OF 19OS-that
where 5000 acres had been planted last
year, Coco would be given to the crop
this present year. This estimate Is found
ed upon the frequently observed fact
that whenever the production OF any ar
ticie leads TO unusual profit, there IS a
rapid crowdins of the ranks of its pro-
ducers. But The very frequency of this
facts calls into existence the clement Of
caution. and this. together with certain
physical facts. should be taken into eau
tious reckoning.
A prominent citizen Of this vicinity, the
vice-presfdent Of tho Highland Colony
company, returning through Tennessee,
and Georgia. made this report OF things:
Il talked Gotten with every one. II is
the subject uppermost in the mind OF ev-
cry farmer. But l found that the uni
versal opinion WAS that the increase in
acreage would be slight this year for
this reason: The intelligent farmer notes
that in his vicinity much new land is
being prepared for cotton. he Will re
strict his own planting somewhat know
ing that the shorter yield viii be more
than made UP by the increase of price.
Therefore the large farmer viii not as 4
rule increase his planting this year. but
will perhaps lessen it. On the other hand
there is little doubt that many small
farmers viii enlarge their cotton area
this year perhaps 10 double what they
planted in 1903. But even these may be
