How to Make Money on Cotton

am getting the usual number o"
letters from men who want TO get
some crop to put in the place OF cot
ton. now tina the price is down. Some
want to so to growing blackeye peas,
some ~sunf1owers and some peanuts.
OF course, d man can sell blackeyo
peas or any other sort of peas,
perhaps there is q limited demand
for sunf1Ower seed. PEANUTS pay well
in some sections, but, like cotton, the
price varies TIL those who max poor
crops cannot get DrOflt out OF the
crop. What is needed is not the ahan-
donment of cotton, which is the
greatest money crop in the South.
but the growing OF cotton in good
rotative farming.
One man writes that Henry knowit
was certainly mistaken in saying his
cotton cost him less than 5 cents q
pound. The late +. r. Mctver, OF
Darlington, S. G., told me that his
crop OF cotton averaged him a cost
OF 4 1-2 cents a pound. some years
ago q good farmer III the Piedmont
section of North Carolina raised q
row by saying that he had made cot
ton at 4 cost Of ? IL cents a pound.
Some years ago or h College farm
at iialeieh, Prof. Troy told me that
he had made cotton for 3 cents 81
PoUA'O. buI tAC hSA WIZ ACNCi 6C$
over half a bale an acre cannot grow
cotton at any such figures. The crop
; pers who are "carried' by the supply
stores cannot make cotton for the
present price, I alu sure. But the
men who make from one to two bales
an acre are the men who make cotton
cheaply and still nave some profit at
8 cents a pound. But SO long as the
average crop over the Cotton Belt is
under 200 pounds an acre, it is evil
dent that there are thousands Of jim
Mulekins who are making cotton at
a loss.
Less and in cotton. more land in
peas, clover and small grains and
corn. more stock to feed and more
feed for them. More manure and less
dependence on commercial fertilizers
for every crop ~grown--in short, more
farming and less planting OF cotton.

crops on such land, during very dry
seasons. may suffer for lack Of wateI.
tHder such conditions 1t Is quite prob
able that the use Of dams at intervals
in the mains and larger lateral bitches
tor holding back the water during
very dry seasons, will be found advan-
tageoIs.
IN making plans for the drainage Of
any marsh land a complete examina-
ton Of the suhsOil should always be
made, as this is the chief factor in
determining the plans which should
!e made for It's full! drainage.
