I’lmru Is a disposition on the part
f some of tbo people and tbo press
ritlloulo if not disparage tbo mil-
nmol lobgcoo in tins section nf
Blmutry, and the (Iazisttk is prone
to bcliovo, judging from some of tile
brilliant(l') arguments used,that these
odltnrH ami people have absolutely
no knowledge of tbo subjeot they
pro endeavoring to discuss.
i says tbo "tobacco sentiment"
jneco seed" with which the
1b being Hooded ‘‘Indicate
krly that those North Caroli-
line,tiling the Snow Modern
Barb Company] arc in a
j hurry to sell their patent barns."

i pieinaturely, before permitting

S 'Pot; ask tbo farmers of South
yiiorght to buy a ‘‘pig in a poke."
They are not forcing our furmerk to
'rtiy burns, and no former ultould buy
me tttilws it will pay liirn to do so.
ie barns arc on tbo market Just
|jke any other article of merchandise,
barn company believes that a
<tugh experiment ill tbo oullure
iSiPtW* ih this section will oreuto
i for their barns and the/
—slaking both their money and rep
utations n» the result.
Another fellow bobs up with this
bngbt(f) Ideui ‘‘This tolmcco grow
ing is a doubtful experiment which
our rich men ought to make, because
they arc uble to stand the expense.
We Dnunciul liliptitcs will sit down
on our 'hunkers’ and watch the
rich men make the experiment ami,
if they make a success of it, we will
jump in and enjoy with thorn the
boncflccnt results.” There is one
consolation in this view of the ques
tion—our much abused rich melt
arc not barnacles upon our ini' stria!
structure; they arc goml people to
have around wlion a doubtful experi
ment is to be made. This fellow
didn’t lake time to learn thut it
takes very little besides labor to
make the experiment Tbo seed bed
is to bo made; twenty-five cents
worth of seed will furnish plants
enough for four acres. 'These four
ncres are to lie prepared to receive
the plants between tbo first and fif-
tf-nth of April, If the plant bed is
a failure uud you have no plants, the
labor and forlilizer expended in pre
paring the four acres of lum’ is not
lost because you cun plant them in
some other crop. Hut tbo financial
liliputu has a» argument Hint serves
their purpose, oven if it is a poor one.
Still another fellow struts to ‘lie
front ami, posing ns a Solomon, ac
cuses tbo tobacco advocates us want
ing to uetbrono King Cotton at one
swoop and install King Tobucco
without cercpiony. The fuotis nobody
tliougliLof such a tiling until ho
advanced the idea, mid therein alone
lies ids Solomonic attributes. The
OazettH advocates the planting of
some tolmcco by our farmers as un
experiment; docs not advise thorn to
jump from the kingdom of cotton to
the kingdom of tolmcco at ono leap.
Nobody but Ibis Solomon bus ever
hinted snob an idea. The ClAzn'rrz
is satiulled that tliu prosperity of our
farme.s depends upon the diversifi
cation of tliol. money crops—not tbo
substitution of one erop for another
fur a money crop- -ami i’i the diver
sification try a little tobacco. Tbo
CIazbitb udvlses the giving profor-
om ; to food crops above all things
else; bo sure to raise your supplies
at home, am) then if you have any
spare time or land devote them to
money crop or crops.
lint tlm next argument used is a
highly mnrai ono: "Quit cotton,
fake tolmcco; wlmt an exchange!
While cotton dotlica the world, to-
bacoo proves u curse to it, (live up
the crop flint Is carrying t. unfort to
every remote corner and lake, in ils
stead, the crop that has no highur
claim Ilian the promotion ol an inju
rious ami exceedingly filthy Imbit."
If Hu, failure cf south (iuorgiu. farm
ers lo plant tobacco would stop the
uso of the weed we would do all in
our power to prevent, any being
planted, Hut ii won’t do it, the use
of tobacco 1ms become too universal
—men, women and children use it,
regardless of its lilthincss or its in
jurious effecls. This fact has made
tobacco a Staple crop, the value of
which ij only measured hy tbo de
gree of intelligence with wl'.oh it is
grown and prepared for use. The
(lAZKlT'B sees no Impropriety, from a
moral standpoint, in our farmers en
gaging in tobacco culture.
Quilc a number of farmers m the
vicinity of Tlfton propose to try to
lmcco planting as an experiment this
year; they will not wait for rioh
men tp.sboulder tbo burden of cx-
(icrimcnt, iu>r will they make it their
sole crop.
