Macon Telegraph: Under the stiinu
Ins of enlarged acreage, unprecedented
guano sales and higu prices, with ordi
nary season, such a crop will Pe produced
the present year as the world never saw.
We would not be surprised to see it reach
six and a half millions of bales, or even
more The increase, too, will be ut the
cost ot diminished breadstuff's, meat sup
plies, aud the small crops which contrib
ute so much to the real independence and
comfort of the farmer. Nor will his
profit granting that a full crop is gather
ed, by any means come up to his expec
tation. in the first place taking Mar
s 1 allville as a guide, over one-fourth of
the cottor raised must be handed over to
the guano dealers, even if the crop is an
av.rage one. If the worm, drought,
storm or eaily frost, contract the yield,
s* much Hlie; worse off will the farmer be.
2. Labor, mules and plantation iuiple
ments are from twenty-five to thirty per
cent higher than last year. 3. Corn, (of
which mvmenic supplies must be pur
chased,) and bacon, have advanced 25
percent; and 4th, It is evident from
the tremendous trade of the winter and
early spring, that our farmers have had
their heads turned by the rise in cotton,
aud are disposed to go buck to t heir old
i nauxs ot exli'ttVng.iuce. vVuiie ii m suit
time, tiierefoie we call upon them to look
out for "breakers ahead," reef sails, cast
our bow und stern anchors, aud resolve
