We have learn ed much and one of the Rivales' lessons this section has learned I that cotton is N'OI' king.

I Will, at a later date. g.ve lhe.se (dans and suggestions to tho public. In the meantime lot me urge our farmers throughout tho stale to sow wheat, oats, ive, clovers and other winter crops, In p roj ?aral ion for money crops, other than cotton, to be grown next year. "I urge our people also to Rx their minds on plans for raising hogs, cat tle and other live ?tock. I urge thia matter most seriously, and assure them that I will advise only what I know to he facts. The increased price of cotton and the snre.id of the boll weevil, still Further reducing the yield of cotton, will ha- e a tendency to attract our farinera to the raising ol cotton in preferone i to other crops, and to lix their effO'ts Oil au increase in rotton acreage. This, in my judg ment, will mean disaster. I say it. adv ?sedly. "Again, I II ige that ?'very I lung points io i he appearance ol' the holt weevil in South Carolina within a much shorter time than previous cal culations would indie ile, and il be hooves us as sensible people to give this matter our best thought and io prepare foi it accordingly.
