One of this Aocia. tioni's avowed oljects is to cause a 1eduction in the amount of feitili zA's usl-ed by Southern cotton plant era. The feitilizer comnpanies, how. ever, tak a broader and wiser view. The Southern farmers are their chief custoners, not only this year, bit in aill .%ars. Uinless the have ability to buy, the fertilizer ieiin cannot oxpect to sell. The fuiimei is are striving to gain the position v-herf. they Vill have a voice in fixing the prica of the-r o miiodity . -Other pioducers oc ctipy such a 1);siton now an( the farmers believe that as a conditi- n precedent to reachi ag it, intolligen t restriction iiust be' placed about prod uction. The logic in, this is irresistible. The tertilizer companlies under, stand further that the educatlion movement implies no fight upon them. Curtailing fertilizers lhas no other object than to curtail the cotton crop of 1905. Thoe is no disposition to lessen the amount of fertilizers used for wdheat, pota. toes ai.d other crops. Whlilo the fertilizer companies have exhibited good business judg ment in thus co.operating with the farmerpr, they show a liberal spirit. They make it clear thai they keep in mind their mutualitv of interests with Soutlnil farmer and give to the latter assuranec that they may be de.euded upoi as i.lliei when the Southern farm ing industif' is menaced.-NowE and Courier.
