Nothing less than a bumper crop of '.,'iain will save us from exorbitantly hk'li prices for wheat and corn next i winter. It Is luiportunt that the whole cot) 1 1 1 r,\ should understand this sltua lion, but it is doubly Important that 1 the farmers of the South should under island it and plaid tin* largest acreage in grain which they have ever had in! , onler to save themselves from having to pa \ the highest prices thes have ever paid for their foodstuffs. I 'very business man in the South should do .ill in Ids power to urge upon Southern farmers (he planting of grain j and tin' raising of foodstuffs of all kinds this spring and summer. It is hardly possible to predict what may happen to cotton. The price judged by the world's demand, ought to be high, but ill view ?d' the uncer tainties of conditions here and else where. a large cotton crop might prove a misfortune by forcing prices below a fair profit. The South might raise too big a cotton crop for its own prosperity, but it cannot raise too big a grain crop nor too much livestock. Every avail able acre should he put into the rais ing of foodstuffs, into grain, into veg ; eta hies, potatoes, and as much atten tion as possible should be given to livestock, and even to the raising of chickens ami to dairying, for the pur pose of meeting the home demand for ft MM 1st tiffs. It will he almost a crime for any Southern farmer not to provide-, during the coining spring ami summer for all tif the fiMMlstuffs which his family w ill need for the next twelve .months. Anything short of that would he ig noring every condition which this coun try and the world confronts in the lack of foodstuffs, and in the certain ty of high prices. Business men, State governments and the national govern ment owe it to the farmers and to the welfare of the country to stress these < points w ith all possible emphasis. The South can become independent for foodstuffs by quick and vigorous ac tion this spring and summer by its fanners, ami if it fails to do so. it will In- drained of hundreds of millions of dollars fur hiu'li. priced foodstuffs, which " 1 11 should have heen ralxcd at homo, and there wtll tx? |>overty III many homos whore thorn should bo abundance. -- Manufactures* Record.
