It may eem like impertinence for
person who are not engaged in
farming to be advising farmers what
to do, and perhaps some farmers so
regard it, but where the genera! pros
perity is m much dependent upon
the potptritv of lb farmer as it is
in the Sooth, every one is more or
leas interested In what the fsrmer
does, so that the opinions expressed
asito the course that farmers should
pursue, or the advice offered, is not
altogether impertitent,
Cotton is and will continue to be
the staple crop of the South. Ttere
are millions of people dependent
upbn it directly or indirectly. The
crops have for years been constantly
increasing, and as they have increos
ed the prices have decreased, until
they have reached a figure that does
not cover the cost of cultivation, so
that the aver.al4p planter finds htm-elf
worse off after his crop is marketed
than he was even ' before it was
planted. Tho only cotton-grows
er in the South who could not stand
this without being ruined is the one
who raises his own supplies and
coidd get along without cotton, and
he could do it only by making o.ker
crops carry his cotton tbrt) ugh.
With the increase of production
and the corresponding 'decrease in
price it soon became apparent that
soiethino- must be done to save the
planters from the ruin which was in
evitable if something was not done.
The only remedy in sight seemed to
be a reduction of acreage so as to
bring the crop somewhere within the
world's demand; but it took 'a great
de?l of talking and of writing, and
of Urging by conventions of planters
and others to get planters to consid
er this, and with all the talking and
writing and resolutions no concerted
action has yetdaeen taken in that di
rection, and yet a sure as the sun's
heat melts snow so sure will the price
of cotton go under five cents next
Fall if the crop planted this year be
anything like as large as tha crop of
last year was A reduction of the
acreage; and a material redaction,
to j, is not a matter of choice with
tiits planters but a matter of absolute
necessity unless thsy want to make
cojt.m just to keep themselves em
pl-ed. regardless of weather they
role,- oat at the big end or the little
cull of Ue horo.

ami CtUl bliW and bold that d vc
sified farming i the true policy for 1
the Southern farmer, regardless of j
thfe p ice of cotton, whether it be five!
orj ten cents a ixiund, for no agricul
tiiral country can be (. permanently
i prosperous while it fs deieridenl
upon one crop, no milter what tha
crop my be. If it could be, the

yet majnly so, and cool I if feln
would, if her planters acted wisely
and in conci-t coAtrol the market.
Bat this can never be done, while
every planter acts for liirnsetf snd
plants blindly witlmtit any regard to
liow odirs ara plariUfg, or lo the
world's demand ; and the world's
supply. ;
We have said in thase oolnmn
and we repeat it, that it would be a
blessing to the South if nut. a pound
or cotton seed were planted for one
or two years or if one or two crops
were blighted and not a patid bar
vested. It might look 1 ke a tern
porary affliction, bat it vonld be a
blessing and again eon,tinije a bless
ing until folly had Increased the
crop to exceed the world's demand
We have just read a forcible article,
ihe authorship of ! which we do noL
knoy, but It is soms one who has
made a study of the cotton situation
and is familiar with it, in which the
writer takes the position that instead
of reducing the acreage twentyfive
per cent., as has been recommended,
(but which is very improbable, to siy
the least) there should be a reduction
of 8eventyfive per cent.. . planting
the land t-iken from. cotton i some
thing else, or even letting it run faj-
j low, which woqld be better than put
ling it in cotton,- He contends that
a reduction of seventy .fivo per cent, I
in the next crop would so reduce the
world's supply that ten or eleven'
cents a" pound a New York for the
next fjcur or live years couid be ass
surcd, ' '; - . . 1 ' ' . -
Tlie idea has got"-e abrofi-l, he says,
that because in some .limited eo ions
cotton can be grown for ies than
five cents a pound that tijerefo're a
large crop will be planted to be ad
ded to the suiplus tt:at may remain
over from this 'crop.-and for" this rea
son cotton speculators are already
fixing the price of the next crop at a
less figure than they are pa ng eow,
and figures at which not one planter
in a hundred cant sell without in
curfing a loss on the cost of
production,
With such a disease there must be.
a heroic remedy, no ordinary reduc
tion of acreage, no trifling reduction,
but a heroin one which will cut down
the supply and make the buyer hunt
the cotton and doff his hat to it in
stead of the cotton hurting the buyer
and begging to be taken in at any
price. The planters can command
the situation if they resolve to do so
and slick to the resolve. A twenty
five per cent i eduction would help,
fifty would be better and seventy-five
still better. But will theyt That's
the question, which will be answered
when planting time comes.--The
