a stock OF cotton, and as consequence
they have not done so up to this time

age burden that Is something frightful
to contemplate. Ga the other hand
the buoysnt bulls contend that if we
are going to have big crop they want
! to know il, and if we are going to have
small crop it is right that the farmer
should know it. There is every reason
in the world why the farmer should
hsve the exact conditions. He then
knows bow to trim his sails so as to
adjust himself to such conditions. Let
