I given to invite controversy, although they ari' near enough to accuracy, win n a general average is taken, to he passed as correct. The cotton crop has not proved a paying business for the South, and has been a losing game to a majori).v of the cotton planters. li is not be cause, generally, the planter has sold bis conon before the price goes np; nor will large- crops at low prices or small crops at high prices, or In creased yields with increased amount ' of fertilizer, remedy t lu- ev il ; hm ; the simple application of a simple I business principle.

Tb?? one-bale-an-acre movement is designed to make' the cotton crop a i paying business for the cotton plan ter, and then' is no reason why it should interfere with diversified farming, intensified farming or any | other movement for the betterment j Of the' farmer. Practically every farmer In the cotton bell bas some land that will, under normal condi tions, produce one 500- HY CALOMKL '! IIOKKIHLi: !
