AH ON COTTON. When a farmer h-in himself fora hand to hand stiu; gic with mi overwhelming cott n nop, he necCHsarily comdgiid the prove- mt crop the bread and meat Mippi.v to the domain of chancai. Under present, conditions every consideration of w it interest, every | rumpling of patri¬ otism appeals Hgauist such a course. The geitotally luxeptod idea of war, ag¬ riculturally k| i akmg, is cheap cotton and high provisions A war with Spain would alno t para \m our cotton trade, while the p: > of previsions would ad¬ vance. In view of these facts, what will bo the fate of the man who pro- duces a large ci ton crop, for which ho will get u low price, and who dejiends on Lin ing tlio whole <r even part of needed provinious for which ho will pay h high price '! It is mtuvcI.v necessary 1 i Kay, and while bo has injured him- | iei!. he bus also, toacertaiu degree, in¬ jured his state r.ml country, both of whu lrau* now looking to him to do his duty in tho struggle whh h is ujiou us. 1 know that sumo farmers may argue that as thu general crop maybe much reduced, now is *ho time to tuke tho eham-u and put every available acre iu r tin, hut there was never u graver mistake, if ever there was a year to increase the food crops and decrease tho cott. u, tlii.- is the year, for tho reasons already given. THE FLOOD IN THE MI.ssl.-.sll'l’l also furnishes another argument with some fanners for planting u large cot- i ton i rop in Georgia. They reason that it will be ko lato when tlio cotton crops in the lortilo Mississippi valley are year just past, there was au almost uti- 1 j n eeiietiteil tioixi in the valley and that ill. erop ot St, was delayed almost later possibly do. destioyed Levies \nui\* and swopt the making away, property was that secti- ot a cotton cn pin n seemed im almost liopeless undertaking.

Murray, FALSE STATEMENT NAILED, Mr. NuiWtt Did Not Say Cotton Could Be Raised at » 1-2 Cents. It has come to my knowledge that a r ircM* being cir uititcd over Georgia ^i<l that Georgia farmers could raise cotton profitably at 3’-$ cents a pound. Such a report being woll calculated to injure tho usefulness of this department, therefore, in justice to the department, and all coueerued, I feel impelled to correct the false statement. J he fol- lowing from The Cherokee Advance fully explains the matter: "coi.onkl Nesbitt wa * unintention- aij.y misrki resented. •Tu making mention of Martin Calvin retiring lrotn the race for com- miasioner of agriculture, two weeks ago, in which we made imiiavtial reference to tho candidacy of Commissiuer Nea- hitt and Colonel O. Ik Stevena, we said that ‘Colonel Nesbitt’s mi .take of advo- eating tho raising of 8fi cent cotton at » profit is hurting him no little.’ “In making this statement we unin- teutionally did Colonel Nesbitt an in- justice, and now gladly make the cor- rectiou. While the statement was made and published in tho reports issued from the department of agriculture, volume 18, IKIKJ, page 80, it was tho result of experiment made at the Experiment Station under the direction o; Director Redning, which guvo the result of tev- crul tests showing that rotten canid be laised even at ccut* per pound. On one thorough test, how-ver, tho publi¬ cation re.erred to above said: ‘Mr. Kimbrough. iLo agncultunst, estimates the aggregate ct~st of pluwiu", harvest- ' n K' hoeitig, pivi::::g and leitilizers nothing l.oiiig aiiiiW- d 'Ot* tutci. s> on thu luml ox tupi umi Itii u--.it an amount which vvi uhl in., .u the tint of cotton !>'„ cents pel pnmd oi lint, Colonel NX *bitt did u it say that.
