Fawner—Cort on 31111 liuVuatry.
It is a pleasant feature of this, out
second aunual gathering, that we meet
in this historic city, named in honor o(
Raleigh, the gallant gentleman whose
attorn lit* at ooionizatiou on Wokokon
and Uounoke islands blazed the way for
the first permanent English settlement
at Jamestown. His name, and those ol
Cavendish, Greenville aud Drake, are
closely interwoven with the early his
tory of North Carolina, whose shores
were made romantic by the birth ol
Virginia Dare, first child of English pa
rentage born on freedom’s soil. At Alla
mance sous of the old North State
1 soured out the first blood that was slie.l
in resistauoe to unjust taxation, and
lrom Mecklenburg county went forth
that ringing defiance to tyranny—ths
forerunner of the grand declaration
which pnx-laimod the birth of (lie great
republic. On every page of American
history the neine of North Oarolltm
shines witli uiidimuod luster, and the
fame of her hardy sous wifi never be
forgotten so long as men remember
King’s Mountain, York! own, Qettys
burg and Appomattox. The spirit of
enterprise, too, is abroad in the old
North State, iiwl 4u walks proudly iu
the van of son thorn industrial progress,
which, iu the last few years, has mads
such rapid stChW'S Iu such an illustri
ous state, and under sueh favorul.iv aus
pices, we have Come with toy to share
the hospitality of your generous Mint
and lovely daughters.
Our last, annual .meeting v.-a* held iii
New Orleans, the greatest, cotton port
and the fourth grain market iu the world
—the commercial metro)Kills of fair lajii
island, who leads her southern sisters in
the production of sugar cane and rice.
At that meeting we spoke of the c.mrit,
tiou of bankruptcy and demoralization
into which the farmers of the south have
been aimlessly drifting for years, iiud I
urged you, the commissioners of the cot
ton growing states, to call upon your
peopm to clmnnaaiaaa methods of farm
ing. We. stated also that the work of
reformation had begun, ami that the
•people of the oottou states were in better
condition than in former years; that
they bad livedmore on home supplies;
had been to less expense iu making their
crops, ami had received much better
prices for their products, bad reduced
their debts and wots more hopeful for
the future. It was stated, moreover,
that the cron of 1 899 and 1890 was going
to cost more to market it Ilian did the
crop of IBPB-IMI9, and it was urged ttiat
we sound a note of warning by tolling
onr formers to make small bills; buy for
cash, it possible; plant largely of food
crops, and reduce the acreage in cotton I
eve* below that of lds( y-ar. We also
said that, if we would again curtail the
use of fertilizers and the acreage iu cot
ton, and produce only 8,000,0-)0 bales
next, season, we might, expect not loss
than 9 cents a pound for our cotton.
With pleasure was noted the great re
vival of manufacturing interests iu the
south. r Xbe necessity was urged of j
teachlngOur children in the Schools the j
elrmeatury principle- of agriculture— i
facts that have been ascertained, by proc- i
ticoi tests at efficiently wmducted ex- !
peritnental stations.
The improved condition of southern
farmers, reported at our last meeting,
continues with some additional better
ment. This ia especially true of the
farmers of Georgia, who have harvested
tu ore wheat this year tlniu in any year
since IRC3; more, it is claimed, than in
any other three year* since the civil war.
More attention, too, has lx j cn paid to
raising supplies' of meat, and many a
smokehouse, filled with bam, bacon and
sausage from hogs fed and slaughtered
at home proclaims the southern farmer’s
growing independence of the packing
houses of the west. The peach orchards
of < leorgia have- this year been a very
helpful factor in that state. Although
Jhe crop, as a whole, did not prove as
remunerative as early indications prom
ised, yet the money which it put. Into
circulation was of great benefit during
the dull season. It paid many thou
sands of dollars to lnlsirors employed in
gathering, packing, canning and ship
ping the fruit. The total number of
carloads shipped this season from Geor
gia will not be far short of 2,500.
One thing that makes the outlook bet
ter still i* the certainly of another short
aotton crop, which promise, even better
profit* rfnrii.g the coming season. There
seem-, to oe good reason for the hope
that 'he .’I- fon craze of I)9R will u< :

iME BRUNSWICK TIMKS-CALL, K i9iO?
who, from sod experience, should know
that the thing of greatest Importance is
to raise, first of all. food supplies, and
eultivate their oottou within a profitable
limit. Our export and import trade for
the year dosing June SO, 1000, was the
largest ever known. This is due mainly
to the increase in exports of manu
factured goods for the domestic pro
ducts, breadstuffs, provisions, cotton and
mineral oils exported, the value of
which was $ 70S.8<i 1,708, while above
hat of the previous 12 months, is below
that of 1997 and IKOS, when our export
of domestic products amounted to $807,-
818,581. Iu that year wo oxjxrted the
prodigious total of $384,703,000 of bread
stuffs, a figure which we have not
react ltd siuce. Id the matter of oottou
exports, however, there has been a de
cided improvemeht; and it contains a
valuable hint to the south, for during
the past 12 mouths wa received $241,-
(>00,105 for our cotton, or $152,008,1121
moio than for the previous year, al
though we shipped over 2,000,000 bales
less The farmers got metro for a short
crop than they would havu received for
n large oue, ami it is needless to point
out that the cost of harvesting, market -
ing and shipping the crop was materially
reduced. This is ou the right line. Og
people should always So manage as to
have the balance ot trade in our favor.
The wonderful progress mode bv the
south in cotton manufacturing still conv
tinues. According fo figures collected
by the Boston Textile YVorld.Jbn nortb
had in 1800 exactly 12,721,341 spindles,
while the south had 1,828,088. Now
the north lias 15,842,5.14 spindles,
while toe south has 3,815,420. The in
crease in fb© south for tho lost decade
Is,.therefore, 217 per cent, and for the
north 10,8 per ©out. South Carolina
comes thlrd in tfi# Union, aftor Massa
chusetts and Rhode Island, withAlJIU,
007 spindles; North Carolina Is fourth,
with 1,420,540 spindles; Now Hampshire
fifth, with 1,848,083, and Georgia sixth,
with 1.818,.104. -o.
If Tho Textile World hi correct m .its
figures, thou Soufli Carolina stands first
among the southern states in tho num
ber of spindles; North OOrullua, which
wo know
stands seooud in the number of splodlos;
while Georgia is the third oottou manu
facturing st.atd of the aonth, unles the
product of her mills exceed* in value
thfit .# either of her Carolina sisters,
which was the case in 1880. But what
should especially pleaee every moznber

disasters that were lljiffr.fjtporue of the
great civil war, iui<jnb3 ctiJhtnlties that
have beset our people-since if* close, the
farmers of the south ha/o (lone well.
For their lw>g and heron■ ■ffn’jrrgTe of 85
years, nfttwfor the difficulties which
they have overcome they deserve all
praise. Bttfc the snooess of Bonn up-to
date southern farmers, where, tint best
methods iiave been employed, has beat)
hardly less {phenomenal. Tills is a day
of progress on all lines. The farmer
connot afford to be behind the manu
facture . Old methods must give way
to better and newer .ones. When gome
enterprising farmer proves that soil of a
certain kind can be made to produce 40,
00 and over (10 bushels of wheat to tho
acre, and with a largely increased profit,
after deducting the necessary expense
of bringing his land up to such a state of
productiveness, no other farmer with as
good soil shauid be satisfied to pursue
old methods, or Tie content with a yield
or from 10 to 15 bushels to the acre
Let us hope for active, vigorous, persist
ent competition on this line among all
the farmers of the south. A friendly
rivalry will do much to increase our ag
ricultural products, and build up tho
wealth of our section. In nearly all
sections of the Cotton States the greater
proportion of the beef and butter con
sumed in our towns coma* from the
north and west. So long as this is the
case, there will lie an urgent call for
improvement.
In view of the fact that the per capita
pronuenon or tnc rar mers or t - ne south
1* only $177, while i„ .V,. w E nglalld it is
*317. and m the west $5lO, we venture
the suggestion that there must be some
thing in our system which needs im
provement. Might oot some changes in
our fanning methods bring about the
raising of more grain and grasses, more
vegetables and fruit, more and better
beef cattle, more milk, butter and
cheese, more pigs and sheep, more ready
money in the pockets of our farmers,
more prosperity to tho agricultural
classes; hence more plenty, contentment
and happiness among all classes of our
population?
Active, continuous, intellgeut super
vision of all the lalmr on the farm is
necessary to success. Every farmer
should keep nn account with his land,
charging it up with ail t hat it costs him,
and giving it credit for all that it pays.
The same business methods which make
the successful merchant nr mamifuotU,-
rer, will make the successful farmer.
No bank stock or railroad shares, city,
state or government Ikjii-14, will pay
such heavy interest on the investment
as a well managed farm. Osie of tho
great needs of tho day is tho formation
ill every county of a formers’ instftuto
or club, iu which may bo discussed tho
rbest methods of agriculture, tho latest,
♦mil: best machinery for !abor : savlug,
and other tilings of interest and. profit
Jo the farmers. Imiußtipul education is
: iu* necessary to the farmer as to the me
olianje. should form a
prdmineut part of the cin ie.ulunts of our
public schools; From the kindegarten
to the university, the pupil should be
taught to know something of nature s
ways, nud In special schools the farmer
should prepare for tits profession, just as
t,lie iihysiciau, (lie lawyer, tho preacher
or tije mechanic does for his. This is a
day.of maehimff.v, tho jiropor
of wfiieh demands cdueation. Nowhore
does uiuMfluorv pay better than oo Ihe
Inriff, provided il W* wisely tiouglit and
judiciously managed.
There is a much more general Osn of
form timchiuuiy iii the west than in the
smith This ought not so to be. A farmer
can no more afford to lie behind the age
than ran a man engaged in any other
business. In the physical as in
the spiritual world growth is life, stag
nation is deutii. Tim old methods will
no longer do. If southern farmers know
not the methods by which their breth
ren of the north ami west grow prosiiev
ous and rich, theu must they learn. If
capitalists from the outside should come
into any large section of the south and
boy up our lauds and rent, them to our
people, those sections would be in tho
oondition of Ireland. To yon, Southern

the world, a gift of GodfVhicb, right
