'_It.ce?tainly is bad policy upon the jpart of a farmer to strain every nerve and .^pliint large crops of cotton to the neglect of a sufficiency of corn and oilier grains, and at the close of the year, buy his pork from tho sales of his cotton. It is impossible that a planter ean prosper who pursues such a course. It is this cotton mania that has ruined* ur lands and caused them to be prematurely worn out by injudicious and reckless farming. The soil has . been heavily tax 3d j-our after year without change or rest to raise cotton, until in many places it is ex hausied and abandoned.
