ADVICE TO FARMERS.

In letter to the press Industrial
Agent Richards, Of the Southern road
has the following paragraph:
"There is little doubt but what the
farmers of the south would be much
better off financially and socially il
their holdings were smaller. Some
land owners Of the south begin to
realize this. An instance of this is
seen wherein a leading planter To-
Gated on the Southern railway, pro-
poses to give outright, to any reliable
white farmer, ten acres Of land, and
agrees to sell thirty acres additional,
provided the purchaser finds he is
able to properly cultivate the in
creased area. This propositions is
made to induce an Industrious class
to settle in his neighborhood. This
land owner has more land than he
can take care of, on account of the
scarcity of labor, and he argues, that
this plan will bring to his locality a
sufficient number Of desirable immi-
grants with families, from whom the
supply Of labor so much desired can
be secured"
This is not an entirely new idea
but it may contain valuable sugges-
tions for some of the farmers in
Georgia. The idea is that the planter
would experience better conditions
and be better satisfied if he owned so
acres of land valued at $100 per acre
than he would on a 800 acre farm
valued at $25 per acre. The frs5
named condition would imply better
roads, better schools and better cult
vation Of the land with better re-
suits. There is no question that a
small tract Of land under careful and
close cultivation is far better than
twice the amount of land under care
less cultivation at the hand of made
quate labor.-Augusta Herald

NEW YoRK's COTTON PRICES.

The efforts Of this or that official of
the New York Cotton Exchange to de-
fend the course of that institution are
idle so long as its quotations condemn
it. For example, on Saturday last
spot cotton sold at the close Of the
days market at 1926 to 1850, and
yet July contracts in New York sold
at II cents.
In New Orleans spot cotton, mid
dlings, went to 13 cents, and July
contracts ranged from 1900 to 1915.
This really tells the entire story.
In New Orleans futures and spot cot
ton go along close together, the diff
ferences being small and wholly nat
ural, while in New York prices Of
contracts are rigged to depress the
price Of cotton. The New York
prices are devised to please the New
England spinrers and to rob the
Southern producers.

vestigation was manipulated by Sem

FRUIT RATES REDUCED.

After making anumber of efforts,
the fruit rate from Georgia has at
last been reduced.
Time and again the Peach Growers
Association of Georgia endeavored to
get the railroad to give them some
concessions, but invariably the re-
quest was turned down. The follow
ing dispatch from Washington shows
that constant efforts bring results:
"The interstate commerce commits
sion has declared unreasonable and
unjust the freight rate on peaches
charged by the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad Company from Macon and
Atlanta, Ga, to Washington, Balti-
more, Philadelphia and New York.
The rate complained Of by ]. j. Wax
elbaum was 78 cents per hundred
pounds to Washington and Baltimore,
and 81 cents to Philadelphia and New

II 1-2 cents per crate Of twelve
pounds, and shipments required to
contain at least $50 crates.
"The commission fixes the rate at

more and rs cents to Philadelphia

charges at IL cents. The new rates
are to apply to shipments containing

and 22,500 pounds for forty foot cars.

GEORGIA'S COTTON CROP WILL
BE QUITE SHORT.
Commissioner Hudson's Report Shows
That the Condition of the Cotton
Crop Is Very Poor for This
Year.

A very poor outlook for Georgia s
cotton crop for 1907 is shown in the
annual June report of the state de-
partment of agriculture, which was
given out Friday afternoon by Com
missioner T. G. Hudson just before
his departure for Jamestown.
An average Of 94.5 per cent, COM
pared to 1O4 last year, and the use of
926 per cent Of commercial ferti-
Hzers used last year are the primary
causes Of this outlook for a short
crop. Then the fact that the average
time of planting was twenty-three
days later than last year and that "A
per cent Of the crop had to be planted
over contributes to the rather gloomy
average Of conditions and prospect of
Il per cent. The June report Of last
year showed go per cent
The shortage Of labor is declared by
Commissioner Hudson to be the chief
cause Of the reduction in acreage. The

COTTON AT SIX CENTS PER
SPOOL.

The fact that the thread trust has
raised the price of that useful and
necessary article has attracted little
attention save among dealers and
persons who use a great deal Of it.
The addition of one cent to the price
Of spool Of thread will not incon-
venience many people and will be
paid without protest. Let us see,
however, what the effect will be with
respect to results from the viewpoint
of the thread manufacturers.
Before the increased price was an
nounced the thread manufacturer
priced his goods at 55 cents per dozen
spCols. This price, however, was sub
ject to several discounts whereby the
dealer finally secured his thread from
the manufactures at 1912 cents per
dozen. There are 1-3 dozen spools
to the pound of cotton, hence the
manufacturer sold his finished pro-
duct at the fat price Of $2.4O per
pound.
The new price, which has caused
the retailer to add cent to the
price of each spool, is given as 67
cents per dozen, but being subject to
the usual three discounts is finally
found to be 54.97 cents per dozen, or
$2.93 per pound for the finished pro-
duct. When compared to the price
Of other cotton goods this price
seems extraordinarily exorbitant, not
withstanding the fact that the best
thread is manufactured from the
finest grades Of long staple cotton.
At 6 cents per spool, the present re-
tail price of thread, the farmer is
buying his cotton back at $3.48 per
pound.-Augusta Herald.

bad weather in April is held respon-
sible for the lateness of planting and
the necessary replanting and the cold
days and nights in May are assigned
as the cause Of the present poor con-
dition Of the crop.
This report was made by Commits
sioner Hudson and Assistant Commits
sioner Wright from $50 letters from
correspondents in practically every
county in the state, from four to ten
letters being received from each
county.
The report also indicates only 19
per cent of a full peach crop, and 9th
er fruits show poor prospect. All
the grains show a reduction in acre
age and poorer conditions than last
year, planting having been late
nearly everywhere.
