THE ATLANTA WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. AUGUST 1, 1876
THE COTTON PROBLEM.
The proposition of a correspondent
of the Charleston Neva and Conner,
that a protective association l>e formed
to control the production of cotton, ha
been freely and widely commented
on. Col. Ir. Wyatt Aiken ia one of the
commentator*. He also wanta the crop
cut down to three ami a half million
bales, hut he lack* faith in the acheme
propo* d. He aaya the powerful order
of the patron* of husbandry have
in vain tried to effect a redaction of the
crop. A memorial lor that purpose
signed by the master* of every state
grange from North Carolina to Texas,
was issued three year* ago. It stated
all the ad vantage* of a smaller crop and
api«Hled for co-operation to bring it
atiou*. The acreage was reduced, but
a diminished acreage did not result in
a smaller crop. Better cultivation and
a fiee use fertilizers produced an
equally large crop upon a decreased
area. He therefore concludes that the
co-operative scheme U un practicable ;
tlmt southern farmers are loth toco*
operate for anything except their own
destruction. The News however thinks
that under the presaure of a stern ne-
nunity, with poverty staring them in
the face, the farmera may lie ready to
j< in lurnds, as never before, to nave
themselves from impending ruin.
Col. Aiken has no remedy to
recommend; hut he advises
the New*' able correspondent
to prepare a paper upon the
subject and lay it before the coming
Cainesville convention in this state.
He palely guarantees it "a warm recep.
tion and favorable consideration", and
then he adds: "If that body in their
wisdom should see lit to promu'ge a
scheme by which an effort shall be
made in any wist? whatsoever to relieve
the depressed and oppressive condition
of southern farmers, I pledge my influ
cnee to make the same practical among
the farmera of South Carolina."
The farmers of the cotton l»elt turn
for leadership to the weil-aMended and
> influential convention of Georgia's
agricultural society. If any scheme of
co-ojieration lie feasible, if any effort is
to l>e m tde this year lieyond mere res
olutions. it must lie originated in the
Galr.isville convention, and the mem
!*en» of that body should carefully
consider the suhj'ect before
the session* begin. The
Charleston News and Courier urge*
the Georgia press to advance the g«*xl
cause by dinciiHsitur the problem and
the plans proposed for it* solution.
TIIE RESUMPTION ACT.
Nearly every day’s rej*nrt of congrcs
sional proreiMling* bring* us something
rcluting to an effort to rejteal thin sham
piece of tinauci.il legislation. It mav
seem strange that the democratic house
docs not promptly repeal what the
party has condemned in its general
convention, ard especially that it did
not long ago rejieal the time clause of
the act. A brief explanation of the
ritual ion may |>erhape remove some
impressions derogatory to the courage
of the majority of the house.
The real difficulty consists in getting
a two-thirds vote to take a resolution
for the repeal of the act or any part of
it from the foot of the calendar. It can
not 1m* reached in its regular order, and
a two-thirds vote can not lie hod to se
cure its consideration under a busjmmi-
sionof the rules. It can only lie con
sidered under a report from a commit
tee, and to bring it up in
that shape, the committee on bank
ing and currency was authorized,
several weeks ago, to report at any
Ox the subject of presidential elec
tor* for the state at large the Savannah

The Crow Indian Curley, believed to
be the only survivor of two hundred

with Custer and who ia very clear in
his knowledge of the fight, has made a
statement of it. He went down with
two other Crows and went into action
with Custer. The general, he says,
kept down the river on the north bank
four miles, after Reno had crossed to
the south tide above. Custer’s object
was to cut off the Indians. He thought
Iteno would drive down the valley and
at tlie same time attack the village on
two sides, he believing that Reno
would take it at the upper end, while
he (Custer) would go in at the lower
end. Custer had to go further tiowu
the river and further away from Reno
than he wished, on account of the deep
bank along the north side, but at last he

GOING FOR GRASSHOPPERS
A DETERMINED NT OUT AGAINST
OUR NEW ENEMT.
"Sarcrtl at ir by Fire. ’-Tt*e Work of
tbe Deatroyer* In Georgia.
By inadvertance yesterday morning
the letter of Commiado er Janes was iud xed
among the new advertisements. It waa pub
lished pro boao publico. It is time the people
were aroused to the importance of killing them
now. Procrastination now will work serious
injury next year.
Yesterday W. F. Herring sent to Commit*
sioser Janes a stchur of grasshoppers and a cot
ton stalk which bore marked evidences of the
ravages of the hopper. The leaves and bolls
were all stripped off. and even the bark.
Accompanying it was tbe following letter
Covington, fix, July 25 1S75.
Dr. Thomat P, Jana, Oonuni.<*iontr of Agricul*

Din But—In your circular (No. 271 Israel
this morning. I see you request any o e having
infmmaticn in regard to the ravage* of grass
hoppers, and of any means taken to gel rid ol
them and report the same to your goodself.
Grasshoppers have beeu in my stubble-fields
for nearly a month. They were numerous but
»malL~ 1 had concluded th«t they were not so*
lag tomo'est my growing mop. buton ye*tenlay
morning 1 discovered millions of them in the
corner of one of my cotton fields.
They had eaten all of the leaves and limbs off
the ooUnn stalks oo about one quarter of an
J “ night, I think they hai totally
. -.oneacre. The gra* shoppers eat
ing the cotton are much larger than
those that appeared in the Stubblefields from
whirh wheat had been cut. though I think It
probable that they are the same, having grown

their size. They rery somewhat in color, but
are all striped or speckled, and a msjoritv have
scarlet heads They are very voracious, and
what they eat passes through them rapidly as is
evidenced by the large amount of excrement
which thev drop.
Mv overseer went to work energetically haul
ing up straw, whkh he scattered over a spice,
sav oce hundred yards In length a'd twelve to
fifteen feet in width, ana three to four
feet high as near as he could to the center
of the grasshoppers. He then divided
the hands and soar neighbors as came in to
hf Id into two lines of battle-one on either side
of the straw pile. These started from one to
two hundred yards from tbe strew pile on either
side, and with brushes drove, as se’l as they
could, the grasshoppers to the strew, which was
fired when they were thickest on the straw, as
nearly simultaneously as possible. Several
bushels were burned, but it is the opinion of an
intelligent gentleman wbo was present that rot
one in a hundred * f those in the field were burn
ed. My overseer then decided to drive them
into the woods, wh ch are opposite that part of
the fle d la which they were bat zeros* z fence
aud road. Millions were driven into the woods
and by night fall the numbers iu tbe field had
visibly diminished. SUll there w*re left iu the
field great numbers.
To show you how thorough their work of de
struction ‘s, 1 send you by the conductor of the
Georgia railroad a bundle ol cotton stalk*. They
are a specimen of thousands now standing iu

his field which they had stripped of uezriy
every blade, and they had also commenced
eating the s’ urk on the end of the ear
1 believe this is the first time in the history of
the cotton p.autthat the grasshoppers have at
tacked it, and judging from the rapidity witn
which they destroy the plant totally, they may.

A SAD YACHTING CALAMITY.
The Elves or W. T. Garner and Four
Others Lost.
New Yo.k Tribune.
By the capeixinjr of the vacht Mo
hawk in the hay, William T. Garner,
the well-known manufacturer and
vachtnian, his wife, his brother-in-law,
Frost 1 borne, and Miss Adele Hunter,
a young lady well known in New York
society, and * cabin boy, lost their
lives. There were several other per
sons on the yacht in addition to the
crew at the time of the disaster, but
they were rescued, with the possible
exception of one or two of the crew,
whose safety is doubtful. It is asserted
that the canse of the disaster was the
carelessness or incapacity of the sailing
master, who did not handle the vessel
properly in a sudden and powerful
gust of wind.
