Thus it will be seen tSat the cry

friends now confidently hope to see
the great cause meet with ultimate
success.

Afr. Eliter:
We think, our agrieulturl friendi
are fallog into tho annual practical
error, of planting largely of cotton to
the exclusion of corn ;-a practIce to
some extent, induced and encouraged,
by the usual comparativa high price
of cotton at this seaoon of the year;
but, nevertheless a practice, to our
mind, unwise and ruinous. Many of
our planters do not hesitate to run in
debt, to extind the acreage of cotton.
Our observation, tends to the convic
tion, that plat4ers who raise a full
supply of corn and grain, and in addi.
tion to the corn and grain,. what cot
ton they can, as a surplus. are the most
independent und sucoes.ful. We be.
lieve that our planting friends will
find planting profitable and remuner
ative, if they will oircutsribe their
agricultural operations within the
liutits of the amount of cash on hand
on the 1st day of Mroh, and then be
certain to plant corn suffiaient to raise
an abundance to supply their wants,
for tihe next year. The planter
whose necensities force him to mo'rt
gage his. crop to seeure corn, hay,
farming implerments and fertilizers at
25 per cent above the cash prie of
those articles with I per cent per
:nonath interest added. cannrot reasona.
b>ly hope, to realize a profit by plant
ing-naay, our cunvicti.m is, t.ia&t he is
as certain to loose muoney, as pay dlay
for his supplies is certains to arrive.
Let those whoe have to depend on oth
ers for assistance tQ enable them to
