cattle, goats, sheep, horses and
mules, we would be in far better
condition as a people. 1t would re-
quire less labor than cotton, more
machinery could be used, there
would be more grain and Other
provision crops cultivated, and We
would be greatly benefited and en-

thing enhanced, with cotton the
foatball of greedy spectators, the
farmers are simplp cutting theil
own threats, as long as they plant
so much cotton to the neglect anc
