Will the government or ,l ay other capital advance freely on aa arti- w e that from ovor-produotion and acoumula- 7( on hss shrunk to such a point that u will 7( s very diffiouit and uncertain t? realize 7' poo. 81 The only way out now is through the Farler's Alliance. Let ilie thinking power and trength of ih s organisation astcrt itself and 11 y bo d and f.-arless measures place them- * elves lu the position to dictate the prioes r i it? iA the world, instea'd of J3 die wing matters to take the r course and ? is obliged <o sell thoir ootton for low prioes ind at great loss. 0 Let the leadors over the South think and c itudy ovor the fearful situation; 1-t them v irder 16 to 20 per cent, of the growing crop (T flowed up nnd have arraogernoms mudo to lee thnt a general and a successful rcsu t 0 is assured. l, Tlic ftrm.-r docs not plant cotton for 1 sentiment or pistime, but for his livelihoo I c ?nd the money in it. If it c-n be provod that by each giving up 15 or 20 per cent of 1 his crop, the remainder will bring him more ' money thou ihc full quantity', ho will accept j sod act in accordance. Reason shows it is a fact, and that it can ! be done, but only through the well organized 1 lines of the Alliance and some co-oporation 1 with the outside planters. If this report of the crop was abandoned. ' and the governments report of July (pub- ' liehed in August) should show a decrease of ' 16 or 20 per cont. in acreage, the price of ' cotton woull alvaucs 1 cent to 1} cent ia a day on ?ho report* Then the pr,ce would place cotton onso ra >re n? a safe collateral, and factors and merchants would not insist on the crop being pushed in before November. Then let the Alliance agroo not to rush in teo much durimr Seoteoiber an I October, and the decrease in receipts would fo affect the world tint the price would bo 10 cents nt tbeir door, and they would be in position to sell or not as cotttoa would stand for $50 per bale instead of $25 or $30 as to-day. Let the farmer make bis own calculations at 6) c, as it is to-day (and rapidly declining) on the amount he expects t > raise, then at lOo (with a possibility of more) on 20 per cent less, and see if t he giving up of 20 per cent is not money to him. Plant poas afld potatoes where the cotton was (tbey are both worth mere now to tho acre than cotton) and in 1802 the the Farmers' Alliance will be an independent sub-treasury in itself, and the South on a firm financial basis. If nothing is done the Yery reverse of the case will be reoorded. Let those that read this think upon it, and ask their leadiog men if it he not true. The consumption. Let the Alliance take the siThere can be i>o ev-1 c'liscquoncei tF failure. Cotton will he m ido king ngaiir uud tho Farmers's A1 iance with tho cry 3? croP con" traction will accomplish tho gran ^ rc-u t of independence aud weslth of the South and unity with the world. Those are warning words o' truth and soberness, an 1 corroborate* what we have been advocating, t- P,ant less cotton and let the Alliance -ontrol tho marketing of the crop, s> it shall not ho rushel into m&rkei'in a few weeks. But what a sad condition it would have placed the owoers of the present 1,600,000 bales of surplus in, if thoy had stored it in a sub-treasury warehouse last December, at 8 cents, and given their mtes for 80 per cent of that price ! With a decline of 25 per cent in tho price, and the 15 per coot ex* penees of storing added, they would not have realized 6 couts per lb on their eotton. But worse ahoad still : If a full crop is made this jear, another surplus of 1,500,000 bales will be added to tho present, making a total surplus of 3,000,000 balet of American cotton, and with an increased supply from "India, Brazil, Russia, and parts of Africa" this year, we may naturally expect the surplus will run up to (lie enormous figures of from 3,250,000 to 3,500,000 bales next year. ... ...MU. ^ UUI Yll?

Our community has beon tha scene of a desperate struggle with the grass for the last two or throe weeks : but I believe we are about to pull through, conquering it at laat. The wheat and oata aown in the Fall have been harvested, and made very fair yields. Very few of the oats aown in the spring will be worth cutting. There was * vary small acreage of grain sown in this vicinity. It is a mystery why more attention ie not given to these important orops. I believe one reason is the universal custom ef letting cattle run at large during the winter* It eeema to me that it would be mueh better to convert some of the uncultivated farm lands, now washing away, into pastures, well set -? wi h Bermuda or wire Grass, for winter pastures, so that the grain crops could be given the attention they deserve. Corn ia very promising, especially where it has been worked. We have had ver? ? ?^ v.uv.v nuaiuor fir co'ton ever since it was planted, eiaiaquentlj it looks worse now, I think, than^0 . ever saw it at this time of the yeaf. lT however is beginning to grow eery fi^st now{ | where it has been worked.
