THB NBXT COTTON CROP.
Somo Good Advioo to tho Mou Who
Will Moko lt.
Mr. Martin V. Galvin, of Augusta,
Ga., writes as follows to the Maeon
Tomograph:
Tho .wholo world is busily ongagod
conjecturing tho policy whioh tho cot
ton growors of tho Uni tod Sf a toa will
pursuo this yoar. Tho world is solac
ing itself in tho boliof, whioh is boru
of a wish, that a largor aoreago than in
1899 will bo planted in ootton and an
extraordinary crop produced.
I believe that an 11,000,000 halo crop
may bo grown this, yoar without so
ri moly affeoting tho prioo which now
rulos. Tho largo ineroaso in thc num
bor of cotton mills noar tho ootton
fiolds, tho larger quantity of cotton
that will bo roquirod for tho manufac
turo of spcoiallios in ootton goods, otc ,
authorizo this boliof.
Tho ootton growors need to havo an
oyo to' tho oost of producing tho ofop.
This is as important to thom as tho
minutost item in tho cost of tho pro
duction of ootton goods is important
to manufaoturore. A vory large num
bor of farmors havo aoooptod this as
a faot and will govorn thomsolvos ao
oordingly. Tho number of this class of
farmors has boon inoroasing tho past
twoyoara-slowly, but stoadily. This
yoar many moro will fall into lino.
Labor conditions will oompol' thoso
who aro disposed to regard o vory pro
posed innovation on old customs as a
vagary, to ooDform to tho now ordor .
of thinga. Tho losaons taught us hyi]
experience ought to ho troasurod. Wo
neod to look backward as woll ns for
ward. Largo orops of ootton havo boon
produood at too groat ox pens J. TOO
many auroa havo boon cultivated and
too litt lo mado p( raero.
Somo progross in production por aoro
has boon mado, but not a groat deal.
Heroin Georgia, for oxample, in 1893
and 1894, tho av?r?go yiold of ootton!
per aoro was 33 10,0 of a bale; that is,
it took thrco aerea to mako ono balo.
In 1895, wo mado 35 100 of a balo por
sore; io 189G, 36 100; in 1897, 38 100;
in 1898, 39 100. Tho record shows
that ootton growers havo boon buying
largo quantities of fertilizers; tho results
provo that thoy havo not usod thom
wisely. Too many apply too small a
quantity por aoro. Ono hundred and
forty pounds of tho host ommoroial
ft i tili/,or on tho markot applied to the
avorago aoro ia practically wasted. Bot
tor twioo tho quantity.

por bushol pion tod, say, oighto?n inchon
apart in rows four foot apart, oarof tilly
oultivatod, and st von ty-six bales will
result, aa against twenty-six halon on
oighty aores under tho policy whioh
usually prevails.
Smaller aoroago, good sood, a liboral
uso of oommoi'oiul fertilizers and bot
ter mothods in cultivation ffill moro
than moot tho labor problom. What
ov. r tho aggrcgato of tho crop produced,
thoro will bo muoh oloar monoy in it to
tho produoora.
[ waa talking today with a larmer
whom I havo known for years. Ho
usod to gathor twenty-six halos, some
timos a smnlior number, from oighty
acron; tho pa Ht yo?r, following some
what tho plan outlinod in tho forego
ing, ho mado forty-oight halos on tho
eighty aoros. This yoar, moving for
ward sovoral stops, ho purpoBos to
mako fifty balos on fifty aoros and havo
oom and wheat, oats and hay in abun
dance
Smallor aoroago. a freo uso of high
grado oommorcial fertilizers, rioh in
tho food tho ootton plant roquiros; tho
best seed aud tho boat mothods in cul
tivation, will minimizo tho oost ofjpro
duotion.
It was domonstratod by tho South
Atlantic statos in 1896 that tho farmer
who applied fertilizers por aoro at a
oost of $1 40 roalizod and inoroasod
profit of 10 2 nor oont, whilo tho
far mor who appliod $4 ll worth por
aoro roalizod an inoroasod profit of 34 7
por oent.
I ropaat and omphaoizo tho statomont
-just any kind of fortilizor will not do
for ootton. If you would havo tho bost
results you must supply with a wisely
liboral hand tho food tho plant oravos
and demand;). ' \

an ooouranoo whioh shows his honesty,
Mr. Gibson started tho first woolen
mill in Minneapolis, whioh w?e oper
Ktod on Sixth avonao. south, near Sec

100 hands, and for many years did a
thriving business.
Gibson wont down with tho panio bf

every omployo had wagoo coming for

fairly woll rotrieyod hie lost fortunes
and thon proparod a surpriso for his
old omcloyes in Minneapolis. Ho had
tho old aooounts in his posaoasion and
know exactly what every omployo had

Mr. Gibson failed that tho formor om

It was not possible for Mr. Gibson

In a Bad Way.
A ?Upatoh from Fall River, Mass.,

is ono of heroism and fidelity. Against

Whatever tho quostion of whito supro

havo stood solid. Indoed they havo
opposed Republican "rooon?truotion"
and tabored for "restoration." It waa
H?ndrioka and Thurman and Tilden
