COTTON AND MONET.
The moat eloquent argument yet
advanced in favor of the diversifi
cation of crops in the south and
the oonsequeut curtailment of the
cotton crop is contained in the an- j
nual statement issued by ivecreta-,
ry Hester of the New Orleans Cot
ton Exchange.
Mr. Hester puts the average:
commercial value of the crop at
$25.08 per bale, against $28.62 last
year, $86.76 the year before, and
$41.09 in 1895-6, and the total val
ue of the crop at $282,773,000,
against $820,558,000 last year, and
$820,926,000 the year before. He
calls attention to the fact that the
money value of the cotton crop
' just marketed is slightly under
' that, of the 1898-94 crop, which
was 8,725,28 bales less, the value
' of the 1893-94 crop having been
$288,118,000.
These figures seem to demon
strate to almost a mathematical
certainty that the more cotton
raised the less money for the cot
ton raised. Inasmuch as the cot
ton planters are presumably in the
business for the primary purpose
of making money rather than the
raising of a record-breaking crop,
it is time to take hold of this mat
ter in a practical way. It appears
from Mr. Hester's figures that the
crop of 1893-94 brought about the
same money returns as that of
1898-99, though it was 8,725,028
bales less.
To raise this amount of cotton
would require approximately 11,-
000,000 acres of land. Taking
the average crop of wheat in the
south that eight bushels to the
acre, a low average, and a total of
88.000,000 bushels of wheat would
have been added to the credit side
of the account of the southern far
mer, plus the difference in the cost
of cultivation of 11,000,000 acres
of wheat and the hay which
could have been cut after the
wheat crop had been harvested.
This it must be remembered
would have been clear profit, for
as shown by Mr. Hester the same
money was paid for the small as
for the large cotton crop.
His figures show further that
this is not an isolated case. The
crop for the year just ended was
larger by uearlylOO.OOO bales than
that of the previous year, and yet
it brought nearly $40,000,000 less.
It was 2,500,000 bales greater than
the crop of 1896-97, yet was worth
about $40,000,000 less to the men
who raised it.
In the face of facts like these
there is but one sensible thing for
the cotton planters of the south to
do: Raise all the grain, meat and
other products needed for home
cousbmption at least, and then
plant as much cotton in addition
as can be properly handled.
Under this system the number
of bales of cotton will perhaps
show less but the money returns
will bo fully as great if not great
er, and a much larger proportion
of the amount received will be
clear profit.
This is not a matter for con
gresses or conventions to settle.
No formal pledge or agreement is
necessary. Each farmer must
work out. his own Balvation, and in
view of the facts set forth, and
that thero is hardly a community
in the-south in which there is not
one or more examples of farmers
who have pursued this policy and
prospered, it ought not to be long
before the great majority of south
ern farmers will be “living at
home” and making cotton purely
a money crop.—Macon Telegraph.
FARMERS’ TRUST PKOPOIKD.
County Cotton Mills ns Solution of the
Question.
Atlanta, Sept. 11. —Concerning
the proposal to hold a cotton con
vention in Atlanta during the
State Fair, Oct. 25, Commissioner
of Agriculture Stevens said today
that one of the best solutions of
the cottou problem was for the
planters of the state to form coun
ty combinations, and put into a
trust fund 10 per cent, of their en
tire cotton crop to be used in
building in each county one or
more cottou factories to dispose of
their raw material.
It was suggested that this 10
per cent, would, the first year, be
sufficient to establish one factory
in each senatorial district, and
that in four years every couuty in
the Btate would have a factory of
sufficient capacity to utilize a large
, part of that county’s crop, thus
i insuring, not only better prices
i for the remainder of the crop, but
i also a good round sum in divi
t, dendß each year from the invest
. meut in the cotton mills,
j This, in conjunction with the
t plan for the bankers and mer
) chants to co-operate with the sar
i mers iu holding their crops in
, warehouses, distributing it only in
10 per cent, lots, thus preventing
j the market from being overcrowd
i ed, uppers to be the most feasible
| plan to Commissioner Stevens to
, solve the vexed problem that for
i years has confronted the Southern
‘ cotton planters.
Commissioner Stevens expects
the questions and information
, compiled by Capt. D. G. Purse,
in regard to sugar cane produc
i tion to-morrow. Capt. Purse
: wrote tropi Indian Springs that he
! had sent them to Savannah to be
1 rewritten and then lu be forwarded
here. Commissioner Steyeus will
add s«cb other questions as Ve
deems advisable ,apd will then
'send them out through the state.
GWINNETT IN WHITE.
[WAlton News and Messenger*
Editor W.G. McNelley of Law
renceville is to be congratulated,
on his good work in last week’s
iissue of his paper iu the direction
of securing a white Democratic
primary for the county. W hile it
is rather early yet to begin the ag
itation, it may be none too soon.
There is a settled conviction in
the minds of the best white peo
ple that the negro vote must be
excluded from the primary. That
I this is true in Gwinnett is shown
! by McNelley who quotes in his pa
per at least fifty of the most prom
inent citizens of his county, favor
ing a white primary. He says he
interviewed them as he met them,
and met only three out of the
number who opposed a white pri
unary. This is a good showing for
Gwinnett and places her in the
lead so far among countits to take
the step essential to honest poli
tics. The very sensible editorial
in the News-Herald on this topic
will be reproduced in our next is
sue.
So far as Walton is concerned
we have this to say, that it is our
belief that our people are as
strongly in favor of a white pri
mary as are the people of Gwin
nett. Secondly, we suggest that
about February court, the Demo
crats hold a mass meeting in the
court house and express their posi
tion of this subject to the execu
tive committee.
The question has resolved itself
to this: There is nothing to be
lost by the white primary; there
is everything to gain from it,
hence we want it.
