THIS YEARS COTTON CROP.
J. Pope Brown Discusses Las'
Springs Editorial In the At
Ianta Constitution.

Last spring there appeared in the
columns of the Atlanta Constitution
most remarkable production. This ar
ticle called upon the farmers of the
country to plant for twelve million
bales OF cotton. 1t went on to tell
the farmers why they ought to make
twelve million, and that If they did
make twelve million it would be no
more than the country was Obliged to
have and that they would get big
prices for it. This article wound up
by saying that under normal condi-
tions we should have made twelve
million bales of cotton last year, and
said the increase in the cotton acre.
age this year in the south was SO 1-3
per cent. Therefore the only Dnclu-
sion to be arrived at from there pre-
misses was that under normal condi-
tions this year that the world might
look for sixteen million bales of cot
ton. Now that is the advice that the
Atlanta Constitution gave to the farm
ers, and that is the information that
they gave out to the world Our peo-
pie sat by silent and dumb as sheep
before the shearer, and nobody raised
his voice in protest. Knowing that
farmers don't like to be advised, espe-
cially by man in the farming },usi-
ness, I did not take it upon ms ~
advise them, but l did write You q
letter at this time; and without claim
ing to be a prophet or son of a
prophet, l did predict that if the ad-
vice of the Constitution was taken, and
IL the world believed the statement
made by the Constitution, that cotton
would go to eight cents pound be-
fore the season was over. To-day good
cotton is selling on the streets of
Hawkinsville at eight cents a pound.
When that article was written by the
Constitution cotton was bringing IA
or Is cents per pound.
| just want to say one more time,
that | hope the farmers will not lose
their heads, and will stick first to hog
and hominy. There is no objection to
the man who first provides for his
home supplies, making all the cotton
he can after doing that; but it is a
suicidal policy for them to- neglect
these crops for the cotton crop. On
these lines l try to practice what l
preach, and my fields will show for
themselves. On this line these same
people and a few others became very
-hysterical about twelve months ago,
fearing the south would not produce
cotton enough to supply the demands
of the world. They called for more
lsbor-they wanted Italians, Cinnamon
or anything else that would bring
more cotton. l stated at the time that
what the neople needed were mar
kets for their products. In other
words. II these people who appear to
be so much interested in the products
of the farmers of the country. will
provide us with markets for our prod
ucts at remunerative prices. then the
farmers of the country will supply
the products. To make my meaning
plain. at ten to twelve cents per
pound the cotton crop of tnc country

Some thrifty hog men have two

In going into the breeding OF
hogs for pork-making, the breed is not
so important as that the breeder gets

says New York Farmer. This is be-

of a breed he likes than one that he

wise would be possible.

unquestionably make possible the de-

valuable for marmalades, and from

nearly all the southern states, great
posi- hilities for their usefulness are
opened UP. Even if they should not
come into general use for manufacture
