THE PRESENT CRISIS
Heavy Provision Crop Should

Commissioner Nesbitt Points Out That
There Will Be a Big Demand Kor

Department or AwucvitvM.
Atlanta, May 1 , 1898.
our duty in the present crisis.
Now that war with gpain has been
definitely decided on, the gravity of the
on our &grictiltpnil interests,
both individual and collective. The
opinion among competent army and
nav 7 experts seems to be gaining ground
that the campaign, after hostiiities ac
tually begin, will lie neither short nor
eaS j- > and it may drag along formonths.
Under these apprehensions what is our
plain duty? What do we owe to our
cclves.our families, our country? While
our army aud navy ou Iaud and sea aro
vsr
what are we farmers to do? How can
^ help in the straggle that is to set
Cuba free? We are to supply not only
the home demands for provisions, but
wo are to supply the “sinews of war”
to onr armies in the field by a bounti*
fnl food crop. Besides the usual home
demand there will be a heavy demand
for breadstuffs and provisions to feed
our armies . should peace be declared
without hostilities the demand will still
be heavy. There will lie thousands of
homeless, helpless people in Cifl» to be
^d. Thus in either event, war. or peace,
all surplus P supplies f will find a ready
d a p rofltabl market Therefore, if
we have not already done so, wo should
put in an unusually ^eavy provision
crop, even if we have to appropriate for
this purpose some of the acres intended
or * 01 a rea y P a,lte ' in 00 n -
when a farmer sets himself for a hand
to liand struggle with an overwhelming
cotton crop, he necessarily consigns the
P roTis,on crop—thp bread and meat
ofselfinterest.everypromptingofpatri
otism appeal* against such a course.
The generally ac^pt-i idea of war, ag
ricnlturally speaking, is cheap cotton
and hi « h Provisions. A war with Spain
would almost paralyse onr cotton trade,
while the price of provisionswouldad
vance. In view of these facts, what
will be the fate of the man who pro
duiw-adarge eetton crop, for which he
will get a low price, and who depends
on buying the whole or even part of
needed provisions for which he will pay
a high price? it is scarcely necessary
fo say, and while he has injured him
self, he has also, to a certain degree, m
jured his state and country, both of
which are now looking to him to do hi»^
duty ill the struggle which is upon us.
I know that some farmers may argue
that as tho general crop may be much
reduced, now is the time to take the
chance and put every available acre in
cotton, but there was never a graver
mistake. If ever there was a year to
increase the food crops and decrease tho
cotton, this is the year, for the reasons
already given.
THE FLOOD IN TUF. MISSISSIPPI
also furnishes another aigument with
some farmers for planting a large cot¬
ton crop in Georgia. They reason that
it will be so late when the cotton crops
in the fertile Mississippi valley aro
planted, that the yield will be very
much cut off. But they forget that in the
year just past, there was au ahuost un
precedented flood in the valley and that
the crop of '97 was delayed almost later
than was ever known before, certainly
much later than the present flood can
possibly do. Levees were swept away,
property was destroyed and tho making
of a cotton crop in that section seemed
an almost hopeless undertaking. Geor
gians and farmers in other states pre
eral weeks later than the present date
they too put in a big crop, aud the con
ssr^s&is^ssiss^sss At present
THE PRICE OF COTTON IS ADVANCING
au q t his also may allure the unwary
farmer into the eiTor of overcropping
himself. I have alwaysmaints ined that
the true policy is to provide bountifully
for every need of the farm, and then to
p U t in just as much cotton as oan be
we u managed. And that rule
holds good.' flS’uS The man who s^mTcSx^Sd does this is
"gh™ 1 he*
to sell himself to the provision dealer or
merchant for bread and meat. He is
also in a position to exercise his judg
^^toholZT^cifcn^t^STsvg
gC st. Were every farmer thus inde
pendent the control of the cotton mar
«t would be virtually where it be
longs— that is in the hands of the pro
dc0 ers-rather than of the men who
in “futures.” It has been well
said, and it has come to b» a fact, that
%,“%S2Z" SSifu'XjEBinw
professional operators aud manipu¬
lators, which could not be possible sell were
each individual tanner able to or
hold his cotton at will. As things now
s;ui( | tneso operators are so sure
0 f entire cotton crop being on
tlie market within a certain period, that
they actually sell the results of the
farmers' labor 12 months iii advance !
AntJ' so far, Why toe farmers have quietly
submitted. ? Because their short
sighted policy has rendered them pc >W
erless to resist. farmers Ninety-nine one hi uu
dredths of our are compelled to
{ I 7j^ p t ^ r 0 ( j” t ! l 0 “ fl 0I t 1 h t o hfi p m c ar 1 k, ^ B 8 e ^ ly
become masters of the situation. Full
barns and full storehouses in the south
mean independence to southern
f ‘ rs , because their cotton crop is thus re
leased from bondage and they can exer
cise their judgment as to when and how
to sell it. R. T. Nesbitt,
Commissioner.
Doctors Can’t
Cure It!
Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never tie rid of the disease ; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affliction, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause of the disease and forces it
from the system.
I was afflict,-d with Blood poison, and the
best doctors did me no pood, though I took
mm their treatment faith¬
fully. In fact.l seemed
to get worse all the
m SsC* while. I took almost
m every remedy, so-called blood did
hut they not
m & ® seem to reach the dls

whatever. I was d 1 s

It is like solf-dPRtruetion to continue
to take potash and mercury; besides
totally destroying the digestion, they
dry up the marrow in the bones, pro¬
ducing u stiffness and swelling of the
joints, causing the hair to full out, and
completely wrecking the system. ■
