The following is taken from a let ter by The State and written by a farmer in Barnwell county. "The poor farmer is about to throw up his hands and quit now. They began this year with a brave heart, they planted spinach, cabbage, onions, corn and melons of all kinds and, last but not by any means least, cucum bers. Not one dollar of profit have they gotten and in many and most every case, their fertilizers are a total loss, saying nothing of hire of labor and land rent. Then right on the back of all this some perfectly inex perienced person comes along and makes a statement that we are to make a twelve million bale cotton crop. Now it is wrong to make such statements for it is impossible. Would it were true. I have traveled all of this afternoon, walked over hot fields and not cnly today, but many, as the rain would let me, and will try to be just to the world. There will not be more than a two bale average to the plow over this state, In many cases it will take from ten to 20 acres to make a bale without the weevils. Many fields are beautiful, the cotton looks like trees. In olden days you could have well counted on one, two or three bales per acre. Now let us see. You could just as well take a garden rake as any other way, for the fanl eforms are so thick on the I ground it is sickening to one that owns a farm to see it. Think of the disap pointments, think again of the tale of woe. What is to be the end of al of this ? I don't write well enough to publish this but you tell them what I say, for every word is true. I would tell nothing else." Our friend need not apologize for the manner of writing-the picture is so well drawn that it is convincing of a sad condition and one wishes that there might be doubt of its accuracy. The State has, of course, offered no prediction of the size of the cot ton crop but it is impossible to pre vent publication of estimates, from the government and other sources of information. One prefers to dwell on another side of the picture. Not even an American crop of 12, 000, 000 bales will suffice. next year for the needs of the world-that, at least is the expressed opinion of some of the leading authorities. We may infer hopefully that no great danger, in any 'case, of a serious drop in prices is to be forecast and it may be that prices will be higher. The State is careful not to prophesy about cotton prices, it reposes small faith in the cotton prophets, but there are data from which an estimate of the world's con sumtion for twelve months may be. accepted as more than a guess. Hence, encouragement is abundant for the farmer not to give up his fight against the weevils, not to re lax his energies, and to go on with viligence and diligence in the effort to produce and harvest every ounce possible.. INDIANA WILL MOVE. Indianapolis, July 26.-Gov. Warren T. McCray announced tonight that the state of Indiana was arranging to take over and operate "sufficient mines to supply Indiana's necessities."
