Not that it will bring riches where poverty has been the rule for years, but it will ease up matters and give new hop# and life and zest to things. It will buy a new bonnet for Betsy and a gown for the baby. It will tide over the mortgage and buy seed wheat for the fall sowing. ’The skies will he bluer and the golden rod will put on a brighter tint. The birds will sing more sweetly and the filly in the pasture will leap and kick and whinny with newer life. At least, su it will seem to tbe farmer. But let no man be misled by it. Cotton is going up because tbe buyers concluded the crop is short. A full crop next year will settle the crop down again to four cents a pound. This is ‘ a stern fact tli. t must be kept in mind. Plant who: and oats and corn, and raise stock. Make the crop of cotton short again | by planting a short crop. Thereby hangs tho success of the southern farmer. Make no more cotton than the world will need at good prices. j There are millions in it if the plan i s worked on this schedule, Tho first step, therefore iD the direction of good prices for cotton next year is to plant a good crop of wheat this year,—-Macon Telt- graph.
