"Farme:" Discusses Cotton Sifuatlcn I'Mitor Times: As 1 think it time for Home farmer to yive uilviee on 7 l-'Jc colli n, I will say a few . wordn. In the first place you can't I raise cotton at 7 1-2c as bi^li as | cverythini; else is wheat, $1.20, per busht 1; farm labor, Sib to $ IT? per month; fertilizers will be $22 i<> $2o; Hour will be about $1 on' lime next year, and everything else in proportion.

We can make on this poor land two to three tone of p.avine liny, which is worth $15 j p r ton on llii' market, and that is more than you can make on it at ' 7 1 "J cotton, with considerable} h a.-i expense.
