Mr. farmers, you are, perhaps, already premising upon how much cotton you are to plant this year. We will toll you in advance, plant all that you possibly can; but be sure that you are going to plant enough corn, etc., to supply j'our own needs. Do not rate your purse higher than your crib. True, the ono will hold year energy in a much more condensed form, but tho advantage of the other is that it suits our every day needs without being condensed, and thereby saves that great expense which extracted from cotton. Wo cannot blame our farmers for being so inter ested in cotton. It is this great staple that has enriched this Southland of ours, but cotton will only enrich those who manage its culture with great tact and dexterity. An unwise dependence upon cotton will lead to an inevitable failure. It would suit many to venturo upon no speculations of this kind. Bo? AMATEUR. Io Carr La Orlppe In Two Day*.
