The Cotton CrOb.

d ID estimated that the recent
Gesta have cut down the total
yield ef cotton fer the state of
Georgia about forty or fifty thous-
and bales. In several other states
about the same condition prevails.
But there is a silver lining to this
cloud. For the reduction in the
size of the crop viii! make what is
left worth more per pound. OF
course there is very little real CON
ISOLATION in this thought for those
planters who have been 80 unfor-
tanate as to lose a major part of
the years crop and thus will not
benefit any by the increased
prices. But general conditions
throughout the south will not be
any the worse for the frost-it
should boost cotton to a very ap-
preclable extent. The frost again
accentuates the necessity of d.
versity in agriculture. The farm
ers must not depend upon one
crop, upon the cotton crop alone.
They should aim to raise the sup
plies, and if they do so damage to
the crop will not strike any indi-
vidual so hard.--Atlanta Journal.
