The action of \ tile committee since the adjournment j in formulating a constitution and by laws as a basis and bond of union fori the continued existence of the.organi-i zation is also worthy of all praise for! its comprehensiveness and adaptation! to the objects sought to be promoted.! Iinis an able document and should be'! the means of consolidating and unify-! ing the interests of the cotton gr. vers j and manufacturers in the future. Whether its effective influence shall; outlive the present emergency and pro-' mote the cotton growers' best interests! in the future will depend largely upon] the good judgment and soun^ disc-re-' tion of those in active control of the! organization, backed by the loyal and! voluntary support of the great mass of the farmers themselves. But many of the most intelligent and 011 Y1 l-l/IT t pd 'iV f h OSP Ujnwuaic xaiui^io, w? --- ? ? , who are themselves only sincere! friends of the farmers, are nnable to see the wisdom of the advice to reduce; the amount of fertilizers to he used by the growers of cotton. It is all "well and good" to cut down the acreage in order to curtail the size of the coming crop. It would have been better to have cut the area to one-half the acreage of last year. It would have been still better to have advised and argued upon a horizontal cut to 10 acres to the plow, assuming that such a reduction "would amount to about one-half, taking the entire cotton area into account. The effect of such a reduction would practically have resulted in such a large decrease in the aggregate cotton output that even a very much larger increase in the per acre application of fertilizers than is at all probable would not suffice to produce more than a 10,000,000 bale crop, under most favorable conditions. For what does a farmer use commercial fertilizers if not for the purpose of increasing the yield per acrei and at the same time, as aa insepar-) able incident, to lessen the cost perj pound of producing the cotton? If the; fertilizer does not enable the farmer j to produce a bale ol' cotton at a less j cost than it could be produced without the fertilizer, then what good office does the fertilizers perform? If a farmer who has been growing cotton without the aid of fertilizers at a cost of 7 cents per pound of lint, what is the use of applying fertilizers if ~uch use does not lower the cost to 6 cents or to 5 cents per pound of lint? Suppose a given farmer has usually planted 100 acres in cotton and that thp average vield. without fertilizer. has been about forty bales, -which is about the general average. Will any one claim that such a yield has cost less than 7 cents per pound of lint? Will it cost him any less by simply reducing the area to 73 acres, and continuing to abstain from fertilizer, or apply only an insignificant amount per acre? Not much, if any, and if any less, it will be because lie will be able to throw out 23 acres of the most unproductive land. But instead of reducing the area io only 75 acres, suppose he shall cut it down to 50 acres and apply 200 pounds per acre of a well balanced, home mixed fertilizer. Will he not thus increase the yield per acre by at least one-half, so that he will get thirty bales from the 50 acres? The "fixed charges" in labor, interest, superintendents, etc., will be no greater per acre on the 50 acres than they were formerly on the 100 acres, or just half as much for proDO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK?

He will have produced on the 50 acres thirty bales: whereas before he produced only -00 bales (the half of 40 bales) on that area. This <ain of 100 bales is almost entirely due to the I use of $2 worth of fertilizers per acre, or $100 worth on the 50 acres, making l the 10 bales cost $10 each, or 2 cents per pound, ready to pick, or 3 cents per pound bailed ready for market. Of course, these 10 bales, or 5,000 pounds, are distributed throughout the ?,o bales. The 20 bales '.hat the 50 acres of land produced of itself we have supposed to have cost 7 cents per pound or $700 for the 20 bales. The 10 bales of increase cost $100, plus the cost of picking, $50. total, $150. Of course, then, the 30 bales will have cost $700 plus $150, or a grand total 01 $850 for the 30 bales, of 5 2-3 cents per pound of lint. Th9 suppositions on which these cal- . culations are based are all within very , moderate bounds, and are used only to ( illustrate the principle. As much more liberal application of fertilizers per acre would make a still stronger illustration. Therefore, it. seems to me plain, that the farmer should produce a larger percentage of that undivided portion of each bale that cost only 3 cents per pound, and a smaller percentage of the . portion that cost 7 cents per pound. If one-half of each bale of cotton cost 3 cents per pound and the remaining ihalf cost 7 cents per pound, then it is quite clear that the mean cost of the bale of cotton would be an exact mean between 3 and 7, or 5 cents per pound. If one-third only of the bale cost 3 cents a pound, and the remaining twothirds cost 7 cents per pound, the whole bale will have cost 5 2-2 cents r>f*r r>mir>d Tf one-fourth of the bale ;cost 3 cents a pound and the remaining three-fourths cost 7 cents per pound then +be whole bale will have cost fi cents per pound.

You will say that there would not be much money profit even, in the last stared case, with cotton at 7 cents. Well, no: bur. it is very much better th?.n making 40 bales on 100 acres at a tost of 7 cents and selling it at 7 cents. The truth is, land that with good cultivation and viihout fertilization will not produce more than 40 bales on 100 acres is hardly fit to plant in cotton, even if it be liberally fertilized, unless there is an assured prospect of selling it at 9 or 1.0 cents a pound. Such iancl ought to be planted in oats, cowpeas, sorghum, or Bermuda grass, which cost but little to plant and cultivate, and the product of which may be consumed on the farm. What about the hundreds of thousands. yea millions of acres planted annually in cotton that average very far less than 40 bales to the 100 acres? ! cav not move than 1" or 20 bales to j 100 acres? If all such be retired from ! cultivation in cotton or corn, and put into less expensive crops, or pasture, the problem of the "cotton situation'' aided by a common sense system or' rotation, diversification, liberal manuring and fertilization, would be cotnoletely and permanently solved.?Hon.
