North State, and that / still try
to keep a clean skin, a clear con-
science, and try to trust in God
and keep my powder dry.
Since nearly everybody h a S
sold their cotton, the price has
advanced from 9 to II cents per
pound and still advancing.
Some of the farmers had the
gall to stand out, and they are
reaping the benefit, but MAORI
ty went to Cess" who buys cot
ton, and "axed" him what he
thought about it. Of course he
spoke with seal of prophecy and
declared so much was raised it
would go down to cents.
Men who read anything, or
are equal to the effort of doing
little thinking, know there was
no surplus" nor ever has been.
AS long as men are too ignorant
to look out for themselves, and
have to AK Jess" or somebody
else, and have to go to Colonel"
Somebody to be wound up, God
help priest and people.
Present indications are good
for high prices on cotton this
Fall. Some large areas in Texas
are too dry, while portions of
Louisiana and Mississippi have
suffered from overflow.
People of the cotton belt are
gradually learning to diversity
crops, and some reckless opti-
mists have hazarded the fore
cast that within five hundred
years they will reduce acreage
and rotate crops.
Shallow breaking, too deep
cultivation and letting the weeds
and crabgrass grow too long dur
ing wet periods, all hurt crops
and prevent good yields.
North Carolina is, as all my
readers know, a very old State,
and the virgin fertility of soil
has long ago been exhausted.
Commercial fertilizers nave
been used recklessly, and no
hummus placed back in soil.
Clover will not grow here, but
rye, cow peas and some other
legumes will thrive and deposit
hummuS in soil.
Of course we have some good
farmers. One man in this coun-
ty realized 78 bushels of corn
per acre. He kept turning I'M
der rye and cow peas and made
a judicious use of stable manure
and commercial fertilizers. He
also made 35 bushels of wheat
per acre on ten acres.
While he was preparing for
this yield his neighbors planted
some branch bottoms i n corn
that had been in that crop since
the ReVOlutlOn, and realized IL
bushels per acre.
The same hillsides were plant
ed in cotton that had been so
planted for rs years, and after
every man, woman and child had
hoed all Summer, they picked a
bale from three acres. During
this time, they subsisted on
''store" meat, "store" flour.
'sstore" corn, store" tobacco
and snuff; and then during dog
days, re-professed store reli-
