Under the above heading a writer
in the Constitution,George C. Dixon,
discusses the cotton growine problem
in & plain, sensible way. He says:
““The time of planting corn is near
at hand. We should consider well be.
fore we plant. The present outinok
demands our serious and careful delib.-
eration before plintinz. The price
of couton is now (on low grades) he
low the cost of production, with
8,000,000 bales of last year’s erop on
hand.
There are more renters this year
than ever before, consequently “day
labor will be szarce, high and unreli
able.
We rhould not forget the trouhle
and perplexities in makiag and eath
ering last year's crop. Llany fields
were white with cotton in the month
ot February, and not worth the cost
of picking. Some farmers believe it
is cheaper to plant cotton and buy
corn than it is to make corn. The
idea is, that the money made from
one acre ot cottoa will pay for more
corn than can be produced by piant.
ing the sume land in corn. "Let the
man who believes this think well be
‘f'nre planting,
| Have you ever thouglt that you
i-must sell twelve bales of cotton at 8
| cents per pound to pay for 100 hush
els of corn at 60 cents per hushel?
You may think thisa hir mistake
in the writer. But let us reason
awhife, and you will find that it is
not much of a mistake. 1 will ad |
mit that ove bale of cotton, averags

'would pay tor 800 bushels. But it
you will admit that what aman clears

‘on an average 7 cents per pound 1o
make cotton, it is pliin that it he
' sells at 8 cents per pourd he oniy re
alizes 1 cent per pound, #5 on ‘cach

sell twelve balcs to pay for 100 bu-_lw'
els ot corn at 60 cents per bushel, It
we sell cotton at 9 cents, and it cost
7 cents to make it, it will take six
bales to pay for 100 bushels ot corn.
Whereas, if corn is planted, we can
with judicious management, make
and house 100 bushels at a cost of
$2O and the fodder,together withpeas,
will toot the bill and leave us the 100
bushels ot corn clear again.”
The NEws respectfully suggests
that the farmers of Southwest Geors

tion belore putting the seed ot the erop
of 1891 in the soil.
