I The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, April T7,1907. fri A Little Seaomteanee. ?s pV -Once Planting Too Much Cotton, ^ There's a heap o' talk just now pe about you can't raise too much cotton 1 |pV an' prices are goin' to be away up in to the Aggers even if we do raise a thun- or. 1|J; derin' crop this year, which reminds at me of Uncle Ezekiel Barton's expe- U1 g|o; rience in the year 1904. That spring J pj : as you all remember cotton went to J. gSf?: seventeen cents a pound an' all the Le fools went around howlin' that there on K . : never would be cheap cotton agin' Bfl-;'.- an' that we couldn't raise too much ] cotton no matter how we tried. J1 |: Well, Uncle Zeke had been pretty ^ gfe keerful always an' never had slopped sta ??.' / v over much, an' never had bought any Cn fc '- corn, nor hog meat. That spr^ig, Bp- ' howsumever, all that talk got onto ofcj |||f Uncle Zek'sbrain, an' after a lot o' Dr hard thinkin' he concluded it would |p be a good scheme to plant a powerful jj, ||-/, crop o' cotton, make a big hillin' an' |||v.quit rich. * Annt Sally protested pretty strong, < she didn't believe nohow in folks of loi I their age changing uneir ways, uui 0i Uncle Zeke's head was sot, an* he pjc took a big fifty acre bottom field that ne ; he had been intendin' to plant in corn be: an9 dapped in cotton. Then he ] hunted op all the good patches o' jU( ground on the farm an' put 'em in foi cotton. The upshot o' the matter was /? Uncle Zeke had about a hundred acres o' cotton an' about twenty-five acres o' the poorest land on the farm in wa corn. Well, he sho raised a crop, more'n a hundred bales of cotton an' about two hundred and fifty bushels o' corn. 864 When Uncle Zeke sized up his corn * crop he felt kind o' dubious, ^but it was too late then. Well, you all remember how cotton commenced to ?n< drap, an' -she kept a drappin' until in ? December she teched six cents at w? ' Uncle Zeke's market. Tie old man was plump beat.^ He 8ai couldn't figger it out, but thar she 901 was. ? ? I Bein' a good Baptist he didn't cuss j out in theppen, but he sho had^ some Plc bad thoughts. For the fust tame in ' his life he had gone in debt on a cotton an< crop. In January, 1905, he sold all he had left at 71-2 cents, paid his to* debts an' went home an' asked Aunt ' fSauy to piease nave a giuuuoeu ?y vu pinted the next time she saw him ] goin' crazy. That spring he pitched pei a crop o' forty acres cotton, eighty wa si acres corn, but in March he had to go Yr in town to bny corn, an' wh$n Sid Burton the merchant gasped an' said, "You buyin' corn, Uncle Zeke?" "Yes," says Uncle Zeke very fierce, 1 "ain't I got as much right to bay *01 corn as the rest o' the big fools in CQ this beat Sid saw the old man was 1 r mad an' shet up an' sold him the Cb corn. "J But Uncle Zeke ain't overcroppin' on on cotton no more. You bet. The other day Sid asked him,* "Goin' to j . put in a big crop o' cotton this year, Bc? Uncle Zeke?" coi "No, son," says Uncle Zeke, "I ?ei tried it once^because a lot o' fools, ? > you was one uv 'em, Sid, persuaded ?f me to turn fool an' it- come blame nigh a bustin' me, so I decided that I would quit tryin' to git rich quick raisin' cotton. Somehow it don't To seem the right kind uv a plant to experiment with."?-The Cotton Journal.
