production and a diminution in i
supply will follow later on which j
v. ill then cause an advance iu
price. Tni'inrrs, however, cannot
wait for these processes as they
are generally compelled to sell
their crops prompt t in order to
meet their obligations. It is true
that corn is considerably lower in
Chicago than it wa* a year ago,
while oats and provisions area
tville lower and wheat and tlour
a little higher. The reduction in
the price of some of these articles,
however. >hould he no reason for
planting more cotton and less
grain, fer of what avail to the)
southern farmer would tie the i? w
pi 'C of grain and provisions if I
hi cotton hud to he sold for so !
lil le as t ? leave him go surplus
money wdh which to buy those'
thi'igs. The world dor-* not need
as m leh American cotton as can
lie grown on the present acreage.
It' rdl southern farmers would
i*jiiso their own food r.nd foraga
crops ^including meat and farm
animals) and make of cotton a
surplus or "money oi.ip" they
would lmvo in their own haeds
the amplest protection against
low prices for cotton, inasmuch

would not he forced to *ell
