planting season, and the indications are that they
will pitch the largest cotton crop in the States his
tory.
From practically every county in the State where
cotton is the principal crop come reports of prep
aratons to plant largely increased acreage during
the coming crop year, and it seems that every avail
able acre OF land will be put to the heecy staple
This outlook is further borne out by the heavy fert
lize sales, and is more clearly revealed in the vol
ume Of loans being made by the banking institutions
and the cash and provision advances made to crop
peFs and share renters.
This tendency Of che farmers is naturally to be
expected when cotton is climbing toward the 20cent
mark and visions appear Of bulging purses and
pletOric bank accounts when the seasons crop is
gathered. The desire to reVe in wealth is rational
regardless OF the element Of great uncertainty be-
ing advanced Rs an argument against Over-prOduct
ion. Planters who sold of their crop early in the
season are now seeing few Of their more prudent
and business like neighbOrs hauling few bales of
cotton to market and receiving from $50 to s75
per bale thereof and an element Of pure envy enters
their souls when they read Of big sale OF cotton
which took place at Forest last week, a Meridian
buying ,O2O bales from local merchant for e72,-
300, the merchant realizinga net profit Of S14 900
on the transaction.
More mules and horses are being shiDed into
Mississippi this year than before known during
the preparations for cotton season, and fancy
prices are being paid for the animals, especially the
Mules which are now ct tOp-nOtcn quotations.
WagOnsi piOWs ana other farm tmpliments are being
sold like hot cakes by the retail merchants and the
oil mills are finding heavy sales for seed for planting
purposes.

Mississippi realized abut s7O, 600, 900 from her
cotton crop during the year just closed, and in ad
dtiOn raised an abundant crop Of corn hay and for
age, sufficient to keep the livestock over winter
without making purchases from Northern and West.

ers will loose their heads and neglect the grain crops
this season, rendering it necessary to bUy corn and
meat next year from foreign markets.
