Cotton always works ont best on paper
“ Every one” says that all tbo successful
planters and formers ho ever know made
their own supplies, so that all experience
is that way, and yet ono can figure out
more on cotton than in any other way.
This discrepancy puzzles many minds. We
think ilenn be madepluin on paper. There
Is nothing mysterious about it, but all the
conditions and facts are open to our sens
ei and observation. “There is nothing
more deceptive than figures,” says Sidney
Smith, “ except facts.” This, however,
is because our probloms have not boon
stated right.
1. Tho principal teason explanatory is
that bo who cultivates cotton exclusively
must actually waste much lime and labor.
A farm to make maximum results, must
like any other investment, bo worked up
to its capacity. Now there are parts of
tho year much busier than others, and
parts in which the cotton requires no
attention ; but tho land, the bunds, and
the mules, are nevertheless all on hand
and the two latter on expenses, the hands
aiso drawing wages. In pitching tho cot.
ton crop, tho limit of possible production
is found in tho picking capacity of the
bands engaged in its production, and of
tbo extra hands who can be hired. These
extra hands consist mainly of tho non-
workers (women and children) on the
farm, of drones about tho town, and of
some who quit household work and go to
cotton-picking to the great discomlort
of house-keepers. Certuinly the two latter
classes are notlobeeucourngod. Another
pinch in cotton making, is in tho time of
hoeing, when the s:uno classes are into
requisition. Wo have hero no great reser
voir ol'laborors, usually ongaged in other
countries. The hoeing season is to sonio
extent embarrassed by other crops, but by
good management, even with the draw
backs these occasion, a farm can bo made
of corn to ono heavy bundle of fodder, and
four stalks of peas to ono stalk nf corn,
would give twelve times as much forage
from the peas.
Tabulating the above comparisons we
have : As forago, peas twelve, corn one ;
as grain or meal, peas, two, corn, one ;
money value, peas, four; corn, putting the
prices equal, wbioh would be the case
were the pea raised abundantly wo would
still have, peas, two;corn, one.

to produce as much us the available labor
can pick.
Aaecond reason is found in thccomparison
of money mudo per aero. As tbo land
constitutes but one of a nuinbcrolnecessa
ry elements ol production, mere acreage
is notatest. In the vie w heretofore given
wo supposed as many acres ol cotton as
tho hands, including extra hands, could
gather. There was, therefore, no loss of
cotton, or little loss, in making the other
crops and attending to other work. Tho
number ol days’ work needed upon an acre
of cotton, Irom tbo first to tbo last, is
greater Ilian upon any otbercrop, and the
other exponses bestowed upon it greater.
Tho hand-power, horse.powor, fertilizing,
ginning, hauling, freight, marketing, aro
all elemonts of cost. Probably in cstiinat
ing the cost of cotton there aro more
uncomputcd items than in any other crop,
because they are more numerous. Its
share of tho general expensos, aud tho
necessary conditions it imposes at seasons
when lubor is high, are not set high
enough in our calculations. Tho relative
exhaustion of land is another element
unconsidered, hut which tho old red hills
of Georgia attest, and v.v’lt their scarred
and gullied faces, utter a mute protest to
heaven and 10 man For while cotton
takes less into itself than other crops
clean culture consigns our soil to tho river
bottom and the sea. A third reuson is
found in the imaginative incomo it bestows
greater than the real. There is some
intoxication in handling more ntoncj’, tho’
it has to bo paid cut again. It is upt to
enlarge the scale of expenses, uulcss duo
consideration is given to tho difference
between gross and not results. Tho farm
er feels richer than ho really is, and it is
hard to anticipate all the items of outgo—
just us in building u house, it is safe, alter
computing all you can think of, to add 50
per cent, for what you have forgotton
Iu accordance with this view an observant
old commission merchant once told mo
that all his customers who did not make
their own supplies would, about March or
earlier, come to town to ecu their factors,
remarking that they wished to make some
arrangement, which always meant to
borrow money. Three millions of bales
at 20 cents, would yield the same gross
sum'as four million would at 15, or as five
millions at 12 cents. Would not tbo crop
o'lhree millions sell at 20 cents and over?
Would a crop of five millions probubly
-hfing an average of 12 cents? Tho gross
sales of tho cotton crop amount to a
tolerably uniform sum. Mankind givesus
as much or more for a small crop as lor a
large, without tho smallest referoncoto
what it cost us. This is a fact of huge sig
nificance, tho lull importance of which it
iftlifficolt to realizo. That it is a fact is
Remonstrated, however, by experience,
And the reasons arc not abstruse. Were
five millions ol bales made tho present
year, 1874, we do not believe it would
bring an average of 12 cents. For the
lower qualities thero would bo scarcely
any demand. Probubly the gross sales
of three millions would excel thoso of five.
Let us consider the effect upon cost of the
odd two millions of bales. Not only
would the five millions cost moro in the
aggregate, but tho actual cost of produc
lion per pound would bo greater. For to
make the odd two millions wo must call
into requisition much poor land, scarcely
paying for cultivation. Again, tho char
acter of tho cultivation would bo poorer.
Much extra labor would have to bo paid
for in hoeing and picking, tho picking
would bo protracted and gtn an inferior
quality. We would also have extra gin
ning, bagging, rope, freight, commissions,
and other market expenses, and with this
policy pursued moro than one year, usury
on the means of productions. To all this
we must add tho cost of tho supplies wo
might have made, and we see that the
’hardest of work and of anxiety enter in
with the enhanced cost. Moro land,
more work, more care, enter into each ad
ded pound, after we pass the proper limit

The Stock Pen Yersus Corn.
Tho writer, having occasion to visit a
neighbor when he was gathering in his
corn, and, knowing that he had been rais
ing tho Block pea for soveral seasons
(selling them at two dollars per bushel,)
took the opportunity of'intorviewing* him
’on tho comparative yield of the pea and
oorn. He brought in tbe room a good sized
Mr of corn, and upon counting we found
it to contain eleven row6 of eighty six
grains each. We both agreed that such
. Bn ear would represent tbe average yield
por stalk, for his best corn. He then stat-
. ed that ho had connted the peas on a
•single SUlk, from tbo same quality of
land and found tbe number five hundred.
Font- pea stalks would grow on the ground
occupied by one sulk of corn; making
the yield, in grains, tolly twotoone. He
'further elated that bo had pastured hie
>hoge on the peas, and found that they
thrived and fattened ae when fed on corn
& bad not tried them for other stock
