KIMI 10TT0K. INTKRK8TIM4' KA CT* A*l>MC * CK RS. Kelatlngto thc Great Southern Staple Address of President Morehead to tbe Cotton Planter??* Amorlati?a* At the late meeline:, of the Missis sippi Valley Cotton Planters' Aesoci a ion in ^emphi^, President More ?;ai opened his address by showiu^ the entirely practical character of the Convention, and asserting the ear.e.s desire of the planters to secure th? b -st appiiaaces for the agricultor.*] aid nunnfaotnriug development o' the South and t ? promote imodgra rion. He then showed that the lei c tton States consumed" lo'5.n8-l i!7! b .?he!;? of corn more than were pr? d iced in tho^e Statt s, and forty-tw thousand bushels of wheal more thai were produced; that the deficienc) in oats was. 77.702,107 bushels, and the deficiency in hay ?bout four mill ion tons. The deficiency, lie said represents the deficiency, not eractl} in what the South docs consume, bu in what it. would consume if properly fed; tor owing to the great codt oi tlese supplies, - neither our laboren nnr stock arc giren the "liberal allow ance they would ?eceive did we rais? these products ourselves. A crop ol six million five hundred thousand biles, estimating an average of thrt* a res to produce a bale, would givt u- nineteen million live hundred thou, ptnd acres, at eight dollars per acre, $lf?6 000,000, which goes to perras, nmt investment account. Ettima ting that one mule or horse will dil ti ate twenty acres, we would hav* nine hundred and seventy five th u sand mules, which, at eighty dol?an per head, would give ns $78,000,000 which alno goes to permanent invest m>nt account. Estimating ail th* implements nsed in cultivation-har ness, wagons and sundries of this chiracter-in round figures at $25 per mule, we would have iSfJ-l/.T?, OOO, which, added to the previous amount, would give us for permanent ! account a total of ?f25S.S70,000, Say now that on an average one hand w.li make three bales of cotton, wt would have 2,166,666 laborers fco feed and clotho, which, with those depen dent on them, would cost at least fif ty dollars each. or$l08,*>*5r?.300, which we will pass to working investment account; the coet of fifty-two million yards ot hagging at eleven cents, and thirty-nine million ties at six a id two-thirds cent3 each, or t.wt dollars per bundle, would give eight million four hundred and fifty thou sand dollars lor bagging and ties, ti go also to working investment ac cont. To feed the teams would re quire, at a lov7/ calculation, es::ma i ting, as we started ont to do, only the deficiency in home supply that if to be purchased, at least thirty aol lars per head (and this estimate h low with corn seventy five cents per bushel and hay thirty dollars rei tm), OT twenty-nine million two hun dred and fifty thousand dollars, which ii to be added also to the working iavestment account. The coat of mar ir ting the crop would be at least one emt and a quarter per pound ; on two billion six hundred million pounds would be thirty-two miilion five hun dred thousand dollars, added to the cost of feeding and clothing the la borers, feeding the teams, preparing witb bagging and ties and marketing the crop, would give n? a total work ing capital of ?l 78,583,500. We will now add our permanent to our work ing inv stment. account, and we have atoUl capital ot f436,9Q6[300 in ves'ed, exclusively in cotton cultiva tion on a basis of the share system. Now we will estimate that the crop has. averaged all around 8c. per pound, which would give ua, for six million five hundred thousand bales, or tw> u ty-sii hundred milliou pounds, #208 . C>00,000, or che ren-arkable. showing of-f12,000/?00 les" than we got for a Gve million ba' ? crop. ? munt here be permitted to ' sagree for a mo j siect and iqdu'ge in a few reflections! called for and made peculiarly H propriate ac this point by the foi going figures, and by which coursi hope to be able to sink the facts eli ited deep in the public mind. If t price of cotton has declined from li to Sc. as the crop increases from fi million uve hundred thousand to .: million five hundred thousand ba! it will be somewhat interesting to o people, from analogous reasoning, know that we could scarcely expf more .nan an average of Gc. p por nd for a crop of seven million fi hundred thousand or eight milli bales. You can not say that my b j pothesis in-regard to such a ?.Top j an impossibility, for have we nol i j creased the crop in a few years fn j two million to six million jive tm dred thousand bales? the incise for the past year alone being ab. one mill?n bales, in round numbe with a similar increase for this ye confidently predicted hy the buy? .ind spinners and looked forward with trepidation by our own peop Let ns anticipate, then, what m happen, and suppose orr growi crop reaches eight million, bales, thirty-two hundred 'million poun< which at 6c would give ns $ 192,00 ?fl?:1 a- $2&?0Q,??? less than ft million bales broght ns, and*18,00i 00'i ?ess than our B,500:000 ere NVvw, it* we are tc hold our own, our crop increases and the aggrega ?ann lor it decreases, we ought to able to buy our mules at lower prioi we ought co be able io hire our ct ton chopped ont, picked and gi nm at lower prices: we. ought to pay lc ! for our bagging and T,ies, and v j ought to oe able lo purchase ali o i suppiieR at ?e?s rates. But. what the fact '' Von ail know that prie j aie not materially lessened to t planter for anything, and on the co tra ry a bij; ? rop means io all ti world who ?et; to the planier h PI ices for their g.-f^s, no one conn tug tts suicidai cost, and all beiievii I hat ?ut h a crop must render tl planters rich and prosperous. R .ib i my countrymen, too well y< know it, or at least will know, tl mockery of such prospeiity. And say to you if sneh a- thing do cou to happen, the tabled Tantalus su rounded by wat^r, with not a dre to drink, will not be in a more pi ti ble condition than yon, surround? bv your cotton bags, with not. a cei n the world you can call your ow ?ven now, or: ail side*:, the coMc iuctors 'have become our largest- plai .era, many of them ownin;.; from fiv JO na high as iifty plantations, an I make the ae?ertion without fea < contradiction that not one Was g;?rr.? (rom a plantn- who made cotton durplus crop hut from men who krie nothing, and would '.carn-nothing bi to make all cotton. With one moi remark I will return to ray cahmli tions, and it i* this: If thc God i dire disaster, storms, pestilence an famine, sees fit to urge our people t ptrrsoc their prt?enr all rottou ey em of :arming until they shall pr< luce eight million hales, there wi. uoi be one ol this category of pian .ers sound financially left in thc com try. Providence,. on the other han< with far seeing wisdom, knowing onl bankruptcy and min will ever raak some planters give up the all-cotto plan, may he taking this terrible mar uer of saving them at last ; on th principle of the ?nrgeon who cuts nt sparingly to save the patient who ha oeen given up as a forlorn hope. Ru let us return io our estimates. C the toral amount received for ero thc planter's share is one-half; pian ters, therefore, receive $104,000.00( fro tu which deduct the "zoense ar counts chargeable to the planter feed for teams, ^29,2^0,000; half coe of hagging and ties, &1 ?275,000; hal cost o! marketing crop, $16,250,0tX loss o: twenty per cen?, in decrease! value of stock, ?15,d00,000; lose an< decrease in value ol implements am machinery twenty per cent., *..?,":;>, 000; repairing ferres, houses, etc., wi would estimate at five per cent, oi value of land, say $300,000, and taxe at two per cent-., -f's 120,000: takinj or il amounts chargeable to plant?is ?icconuts, j^O? .'U.OrtO from the $104, 000,000, gives us $?7,830,000 as plan .ers' profits, or a sum les* than om per rent, on total investment. Now my frtendc, 1 would not have yon think 1 put this estimate forward a? infallible, or even accurate, for n< general estimate of a subject so iii versified, made on the basis oi ont system, when there are hundreds ii rogue, conld be expected to he per feet; i\r. fx, besides, every one knowf that the individual planter increase; jr decreases his per cen tage of profit in proportion a^. his plantation U more or les' self-sustaining, so that the planter whose cotton crop i> ab solutely a surplus, according to lue estimate, would make one hundred per cen!, on his cotton crop, and that one's profit who raised. nothing tc speak of but cotton would descend to /.ero, or deep into thc minns inan ities My figures, therefore, are in tended simply a? approx imatiori-: io illustrate the main facts to which ? wish to call your attcntiou, that no country can afford tc make cotton or any other crop, or carry on any busi neas for ene per cent, on its invested capital. The reason why we do not make hut one per cent, on our in vested capita i is clearly because of our defective system, which adds so greatly to the cost ot production. How. then, is t.hi: to ne reduced '. First, we would say, by raising the provender for our teams, which at one stroke would add twenty-nine million dollars to our dividends; then we should save at leas!- part of the sum we annually pay to feed our ; t borer?, and there is no reason why we could not- save it nil : but sup pose that we save huh', we would add forty million dollars more ta our div idends: suppose that we ooly raised enough. cuides to keep up our presei supply, .say twenty per cent, ot th; Dumber used, we would add aboi twenty million dollars more to 01 dividends. But why preened? tl reasoning ia apparent, that in ordi to decrease cast of cotton prodnctio the planters must save the millior they pay ont by raising their ow wheat, hay, corn, oats and live stoc Will they do it ? Will th?-y liston book farming and tue so-called til orists ? Possibly not till Inrcecl 1 bankruptcy and ruin. Now, tr friends, one who propose?, a re lor is often called a theorist, and if tl theory never be earned out , he apt to be termed besides a vision?r but this is too vital a subject to 01 country for ?my one to be turn< aside by fuieh epithets. I boldly a sert that the all-cotton planter is tl most deluded and pitiable of all v sionists, and on tho ooniraay, thal v have only to look around us for pra tica! examples of planter?, who ha' \ pnccessfully diversified their farmin I and made cotton their surplus ero [ thereby attaining independence at ! riches, to nail such expressions ! shameful calumnies, uttered in mo i j iustances by men wno aie too coi ! ceited to imagine an}' one can te them anything about farming, or t< ignorant to understand and apprer atc the groat, fondamental truths j political economy, which they so on i rageously violate in their ali-cottc j farming: or, by those toolar.y or tim j to try anything but. the beaten traci j A stranger to our country migb j with gond reason, infer that the Soul could not produce anything but co ton, to judge by the thousands tons of rorn, oat?, hay, ilonr, lar . butter, canned moats and vegetable jami wooden nutmegs o; all kin' i with which nteamers and railway ! come laden to om- shores. If th j were in rho -lightest degree true I would no?, deem the term theorist ? 1 improper application for those wi . call on the South :o lo imposaibil ; ties by raising these articles: but c ery mau within the hearing ol' ir j voice knowp. and wei: knows, th j with like care and attention, and, ii j deed, 1 hesitate not tu say, with mut '?-?n cultivation and rare the Sou! will produce, acre by aerp, whea corn, oat?, hay, and all other prodtv crop?, euial to any nf the Northe: Siatee from whom wc now buy the: j article?; and the same is true of o: ability tn raise horses, mules, cattl j sheep, 'tog-, cte. Thp United Stat? ? agricultural report for L879 gives ; Georgia an acreage nf nine br.sbe pei" acre of wheat, arie! ot-cot ton Sta falls r.rtln-.v st von bushels: while ti great grain State of the North. low averages only ten bushels.

To these prices you mus i add at least, twenty-live per cent, I and in many instnno<-; much mort ; to find oui what mary n! the plan j ter? and nearly ali the laborers pay J and. therefore, I assume very logical I ly mai ;ill plantera and laborers wlv I have io bny these necetearies at sucl i prices m make their cotton nrop, in j stead of raising them, mak?> nn money j and more often com<- our. in debt j Dwell on lt, my friends ; a bale o j cotton tor a harrei of pork, or half i tor: ot hay, and wonder not longe J why thc deluded and infatuatec ? visionist ol' a planter, with all-cottor j his Goo, remains in debt and disgraci I and render;* odious and .i byword ! what should be the proudest emblen j in our land, the name planter.

I entertain that inside of five j years we wiil SPP one man cultivating j and picking irena thirty to fifty acres j of cotton, which will then at once, il we don't cony- to it before, place it ! practically in the bauds ol our plan ters to adopt entirely the wages sys tem of labor, which I regard as thc only true method enabling th*1 plan ter, as it will, to intelligently direct the labor,- diversify crops and keep np his improvements. lu the discus sion of improve-1 labor-saving ma chinery and implements 1 might go on to tell you how the buggy piow and walking cultivators are being gradually introduced arid what per ceutage oi labor they save in the cultivation of a crop, or 1 might give you an estimate of the number ol good mules that are annually ruined by defective horse power, and the millions of cords nf wood annually consumed uselessly by ckiective steam power, ami the censen neut econon in having Crst class .-team as well \ horse power: or 1 might tell yon ho various parties are now working h ai to perfect implements f.o bar off oh< ont and hill cotton by once goil over it; with mule power; or i nai-g tell you that the average price of tl entire cotton crop cou Ki be raised I many millions of dollars by the ge eral adoption of the best deane and gins, and better handling of tl crop generally. 'The extent lo whit the introduction of other improved ii plemonls would lessen the cost of t! production of the cotton crop O? ?carcely be estimated iu price: an additionally, the adoption of su< implements by a planter n? will sn him the labor of one or more han increases his labor lore and solv the labor problem to thai extei There is more opportunity for prof able enterpiise and investment. this respect, than in the operation all the cotton factories that there j even a remote possibility of beii { built, for the capital required is i j significant compared to the lari sums necessary to make cotton rna j ufacturing a success. For instant I a planter producing five Luodn bales-two hundred thousand poun -worth eight cants per pound' :>i teeen thousand dollars, can, by? tl expenditure of one t housand or f. teen hundred lollara on his gin hom improved gins and cleaners, inorea the average value of his crop at lea one cent per pound, or two thousai dollars per year, \vhi< li is done < an investment ol' one thousand to ll I teen hundred dollars. If it was on j increased one-half cent per pound, ! would add one thousand dollars i value os crop, or nearly om- hand? j per cont, on the ens', nf impvov j mente, nnd it may he well to rem*: j right here, before leaving thia sn I jeet, that unless planters do ado % these improvement* nnd a big en j pf seven million five hundred tho i sand or eight million bales is prod ti ed, two million bales or a large pa ' of which shall be verv low cottor yon will ?iud they will be vir: ital j unsalable.

Steel Wire Fence. -:o: EAOH year the.^iiestion. ot* the cheapest and nt the same time the most durable and effective fence become* more prominent, and it baa remained for tile lirra of SEDGWICK BROS. to solve the problem. This they have done hy the invention of machinery* by which, wire nan be rapidly made inr.o a donble-twist-net work of diamond shaped mesh. This is conceded by ?iii wno have seen it, to be the most scientific and economical manner in which steel or iron can be used to insure the greatest strength and durability? The SEDGWICK STEEL WIRE FENCE is the only general parp?se wiro fence in use. Beins; a net-work without barbs, it. will keep out small pigs as well-aa the most vicious Btptk with no possibility of injury. It shelters no enemies to crops or poultry, ami makes no shade. It is just THE FENCE for Gardners, Farmer?, Stock Raisers and Railroade, and is very, desirable for wn?, parke; Cemeteries an?3 Front Yards. - - For nearly all Enclosures and fora Better Fence Economy, the Sedgwick Fence has no equal. Re'ns; dipped in rust-proof paiat it will last a lifetime, and is better than board fence ia every r.-speck It is of much greater strength and du" rability than barbed fence. It is not affected by heat and cold owing to . its peculiar construction, allowing contraction and taking up all expansion j Stock may run agaiusi it without injury to either stock or fence. Pigs and ? Puultry are restrained better than by anv other fence. We ask for it a fair : trial, fully believing that all our customers will be satisfied. Wire net-work j is no new thine, but ?v have reduced the Cost until it is within the I reach of farmers. We specially recommend our fence for bottom lands, as it will allow free ? passage of water and can be arranged so as to hang fast in places, even when : the ilood will tear ont the posts in more exposed places. None of it will bo i washed away. This fencing, aa its name implies, is made of the best annealed steel j wire. The margin wire, i. e. iop and bottom wires, run nearly straight, and I are No. 9, which is common size telegraph wire. The body wires are No. ; The breaking strain nf No. 9 is about 21f)i>0 pounds, and of No. 1?. : about 300 pounds. The measure of the mesh i? the extreme length and I breadth o? the opening, and a postal card will not u;o Through a ?ive inch ! mesh without tonching :;t the four corner?. No single wir- :.
