Dodd, Leon- Income in-.k*;x pwble thea.lveouure* of from the West. There is scarcely any cost to growing grain, none to Compare with growing cotton, then, too, when your cotton is made it is mortgaged to the merchant to pay for flour, corn or grits, bacon ard things that he could raise on the farm. Then why not take the mat ter in consideration and plant grain? Make a crop of wheat and oats, then sow the land in peas and make two crops instead of one, then count the expense and see if you don’t double the cotton, yea thribble, for cotton is worry from January to January and grain is only a few f hours work and it will do the rest. Now some may ask where and how am 1 going to get my wheat manu factured into Hour? Wheraldo the people in the West get theirs manu*' factored? They have mills, and we can have them here too. Where (io you get your cotton ginned? Oh right over here at Neighbor Smith’s; no trouble to get that ginned. Well ifly friend, if Neighbor Smith can afford to put up machinery to gin your cotton he can afford to put in a plant to manufacture your wheat also. But first plant the wheat. What is the use for Mr. Smith to put up a flour mill unless you first plant the wheat? He certainly would not have that gin if you did not plant the cotton as a guarantee to furnish him cotton to gin. ^ » Now, gentlemen, lets be up doing and lets all try one or two acres of wheat and get Mr. Smith to put up a flour mill to manufacture our flour at home. , Yours for success, T.
