The Cotton Acreage.

How about the cotton acreage,
farmers? We know you are advised
so much that you pay little or no at,
tention TO the advice that is volun,
teered to you, but still we deem it
our duty to point out certain facts
to you so as you will be informed OF
the situation. A bumper crop OF
cotton this year means low prices
next Fall. There is no market Tor
goods. The mills cannot sell their
products and in consequence they
have been compelled to curtail pro-
duction. A big crop this year
means six cents for cotton next Fall.
A Is, 900, 900 bale crop at SIX cents
would be worth only 1890, OOO, 900,
while a 10, 900, 900 bale crop at ten
cents would be worth $500, 600, 900.
In the face of these facts, farmers,
don't you think it would be a part
of wisdom to reduce the cotton
acreage and increase the food crop?

Why This Solicitude?

which defends their interest on all
occasions, calls upon Senator Till
man of South Carolina to speak in
regard to the candidacy of William
Jennings Bryan. 1t comedies the
great influence of the South Caro-
linian upon the political sentiment
of the South, but says that 1.-The
question is one of pure expediency
at a critical moment in the fortunes
of the Democratic party" I'VE all
know" says the Sun, that Tillman
doesn't believe that Bryan could win
if nominated. and So we hope every
thing" That is to say, the Sun
hopes that Mr.. Tillman will consent

age, which occurred on Monday of
pneumonia. Mr.. Bell had been Ill
only a few days. He was the son of
Mr.. ]. P. Bell Of Windsor. He was
the fourth in that family that has
died in the past four weeks. On

A HINT TO
A Connecticut Farmer Says Deer Are
Destroying His Vegetables.

Destroying His Vegetables.
A farmer in the town Of Barkham-
sted writes to the Hartford "Courant'
a detailed statement Of what he has
suffered from the ravages Of deer in
the past summer and Of the meagT2
compensation with which he has been
forced to content himself, that seems
to form justlfcable ground for COM
plant. The complaint is the more
worthy Of confederation from fae
reasonable tone in which it is voiced,
and one is led thereby to believe that
it is based in fact rather than in I'M
agination.
This famer Of Barkhamsted, to con-
dense his troubles has had destroyed
by deer this summer the product OF
one-fourth of an acre Of wax beans.
24O out of 1889 cabbages, and three
fourths Of an acre Of mangel wurt-
GELS, getting from the latter three tons
Of crop, where he had reason to eX-
pect twenty tons. In compensation
for all this damage the state has paid
him the sum of $50. He has to take
that or nothing for there is no sr
ing the, state. Farmers who haV5
tried to raise crops Of this sort. anf
some others who have had experience
with them, may judge how inadequate
a sum this is to pay a farmer for Sc
large a part of a whole summers lab
or.
81 can't afford to work all summer
like a slave and lose everything just
for the pleasure Of some city sports,
says this farmer. sadly. Hasn't he
come dangerously close to the real
root Of this matter? For what are we
so jealousy protecting our Connecll-
cut deer? Why are we allowing them
to multiply so unrest.ainedly, to be
so practically undisturbed that they
venture with impunity on to the Ian
of any farmer, and into any field he
%cultivates? Is it from motives OF hu-
manity or love for the dear, graceful
animals themselves? Not for a min
ute. The real motive back Of this
careful protection of the deer is the
idea Of certain misguided ones who
think they are sportsmen, that In
time we may be able to make Con-
necticut over into a happy hunting
ground for at least a few weeks in
year, with the customary attachments
to the deer shooting season elsewhere
presumably. There are others than
farmers who should have an interest
in preventing any such result.
Meanwhile, let's face this deer stu
alton fairly and sensibly. If We must
protect the deer in all his depreda-
lions for a few years longer, let's see
that the farmer who suffers gets just
remuneration for his sufferings. In
that way we shall run up a state deer
expense account which by the tins
the legislature meets again will be
sufficient to sober the statee into re.
vising the deer protection law to a
point which in a year or two viii
thin the deer into proper numbers for
the good of the state.-New Haven
