Reports made to tho Department of
Agriculture state there is an increase
of nearly four per cent, iu the acreage
of winter wheat. Wherever tho con¬
dition of the growing crop is referred
to, it is given ns below the -average of

of the lungs and stomach are reported,
but no widely spread diseases.

Plant Less Cotton and (Jet Better
Prices.
Our farmer*, in dead of planting
i'-s.-i cotton and morn g>ain, are plant-
mg more cotton ami less grain, mid,
consequently, they overrun the lnark-
ct with cotton and get nothin:-' for it.
and buy their grain, j> lying an nutrage-
mis price fr.v it Ix-ciuisw of its scarcity.
If 7,000,000 hales of cotton are mad
the fanner get- antiv- rag *::f ten cents
wild per pr.uud for jt, when he would
realize from 18 to *>y cents par pound

raise morn gmin and k*^s cotton. The
Macon 71 • •/< »,o/ ' a./' r lias
it down right, in the following:
■’The Kaleigh oi thinks that
the increase of cotton acreage
spring will lie about fifteen p?r <>•••«/
There i< nothing to warrant such a
crop, l ifteen per cent, 5ucr<tv-e will
not yield one cent n.me mcome tlmn
tlie present 'erea. The chances are
that, with a corresponding crop, it
will produce less money. Ken.pose
fha' the incoming crop sfmll produce
about fi 8(K),000 bales, which it. ace ms
likely to do.
Micon'will give about' a f j ir aver-
age price for it at 0j cents—say i*41 a
hale or #266,000000. l.ast year cot Ion

Ulti tl,e cr0 P ^ 5,757. J07 bales war
*'0 li, i about #.)20,.- .)i),-l.,8.
f'hat is the way we v^ork it. We
raise and gin and pack and transport
nine hundred thousmTd more b.l
and get fifty or more million dollars
less for it! (.’an anything be more
absurd? If the determination of the
size of the cotton crop were left with
one financial interest, not more than
four million hales would lie raised
next year. When the Dutch East In¬
dia Company find they urc raising too
much Java coffee to command a good
price, they have two ways of disposing
of it. One is to lock up the excess
and hold it for a short crop, and the
other is to burn it up in furnaces
made for that purpose. They have rib
idea of raising coffee to lose money on
it.
JJnt we people-ofthe .--onih have litle
practical Idea of doing anything else,
Colton lint is many times nmre iudis
pensabie mul valuable than eotf- e. Ji
is far fnore * xclusivi-ly a product of
one country. The Southern people
could just as easily get twenty cents a
pound as leu cents audit would make-
us all happy and comfortable. -We
could live IJief.tUy and pay our debts.
But wuiply lxicuii.se .ill of us are stung
gling to swell i lie crop to the larges;
possible dinionaiona, under the silly
idea that wa can make more money
out of it, w\: ruin ourselves and toil
fivin year’s end to year's end without
accumulating a cent of profit..
Jt is hardly probable that next year
wo can be so foolish as we mean to be.
After three or four years of gigantic
crops il is time to look fora small one.
ft is not according with the usuai
operations of nature to have a long
succession of abundant crops of any
kind; and this year there is so far
evciy reasonable promise of short
crops generally. For the last seven
years wo have boon piling up our
cotton crops from 3,882,000 to 0,501),-
000 bales or an average of 460,000
bales increase a year. Thorn must be
n check to this sometime or other,
and this spring seems to present as
fair a chance for it us we ever saw.
This may help cotton a little; but
with another increased crop next year
cotton will become a drug *.
If n were possmlp , for - producers , to
agreo among themselves to reduce pro
duetiou they could all produce enough
