Conducted by the Farn Short and Timely Articles that will Rleceived, and are Solicited for On any Phase or Subje t o BIGGEST COTTON CROP EVER. A .Bambu rg County Farmer Predicts That the .South Will This Year Make the Record Crop. To the Editor of The State. The ne-wqpa-Irs. and in fact, men of oyery profeh-sion, tire standing open- ed, wondering why the re coipts lof fortilizers are so heavy. They say that this fertilizeris being stored away in w arthc.uses, and so on. Now don't '( deceived. Facts are stubborn things; the tiuth hurts; but tsii heavy shipment of fortiliz -rs means an inoreased ac reago e cotton over last yearl I a-n n-,t posing v.; a prophet, but under favorable e mditions this year's cottoi erop is going to bre'ak till rLcords because the farm era on every hand are making greater (fforts to make cotton than over before, rhis souids strange, indeed, but tine will tell. There have bec: more tules and horses purchased by the cotton farmers this season than ever known. This work stock was not bought for making coro, hay and other provision crops; far fromn it. They were bought for making cotton, and the cotton will be imade, provided we have the sun shine and showers. 'Tliere nover was a time when labor was scarcer than nOw, which alone shows that overybody is putting in a larger cotton crop. 'I'lie faimors aretold that tho de. mand for cotton is unprecedent.ed that the acreage would be cit 2t per cent., fertilizers proportion ately, and that the cotton associa tion would be forced to ton cent by Juie. That was enough. Ever: farmer is increasing his aereagi and phosphates, while he hop that the other farmers one and al will stand by the association an reduce the acreage. The south will plant 35,000,00 acres to cotton this sear', and un der normal conditionis will mnk 14,000,00(0 or 15,000,000 bides. The above sounds like a circula letting of Theo Price, one of th bear loaders of Now York. I or no speculator, only a plain blun farmer, not afraid to speak th truth at any time or under auy c nu 4itions. I only hope I am mistakeni, bu wvhen one sees a thing, he simupi sees it in spite of' himself. And see greater efforts for a mlonistI cotton crop than ever beoi4 Nothing but the AlImighty ca keep ootton above 5 cents by Och tober 1, 1905, I ame much afraid that the Sou thern Cotton association will ul ti mately (10 mnore hairm than good True, it has .aised ihie price of cot, ton, but going up inst at pIlanting1 time was miore than the masses o0 farmers could boar. Five cent cotton at this season would (10 more to reduce the acrelige than any pledge, be it ever so binding, tha t has been or miay7 be signed by the~ farmers. More thain this, the cot ton association has a smallI enrol mient of farmers. Going over till list, we find more politicans, bank ers, editors doctors, I a b o r e r a and others not engaged in cotton culiture' thanlariI mbrs, propor - tion~ately. T1here are many farm ers in this orgamnizstion who are perfectly hiounst in thieir convic . tionsB, anid wiill abide b.y the ordler, but there 10 and 20 outsidecrs to one in the association who will so increase their acreage as to Over lap the reduction madd by the as sociation's members.

L Olar, S. 0. o .--- .hi The Trioks of the Trade and the Fer. 0 tilizer Business. *i Recen'ly there was sent out to e the press from Columbia a piece.of news about the amount of fertili- c lizers. beeng used by the furmners of A iiS Stato, that 1s calculated to mis- ti lead some of the farmers, and a, others, 'y I.ot telling the whole truth about the increase(d sales of fertilizer tags recently. Now, it seems that theoe follows have not told the public that this increase of sales of tags d, es not, jidicate that more fertilizeas ae being nt-lod for cotton, and that Ihis incre-asei iifiy be accounted for by a change in t he law, requiring all cottonr seed meaal to be taigged, whether it I c us-,d for feeding or fertilizer. Since the fertilizer conpanies can redeem all taga not used, here i i at splendid opportunity for these I fellows to lend a helping hand to their neighbors, the "cotton bears," by purchasing a large amount of tags, which has its neight in hold ong c:tton down, This is educa tion in this business. It was A. T. Stewart the famous dry goods merchant iu New York; that did in his early butiness have a lot of fine coaches and well-dressod women to make a regular business i of visiting his establishment daily for the express purpose of demoni - strating to the fashionable people s that his place of business was the i place for these people to trade. 3 This was ono man's way of in s creasing his trade; this is educa I tion. I A large farmer, in ordor to ad vertise has success, stanrdin'g and a 3 reputation as a large planter, loads - 25 or 80 bales or more cottonl onl a a train of wagons and will move them about the streets of his town a rwhole day in order to show the apeople that he has t he "real stuff." a The difference is, that the farmer t or common merchant exhibits what e he has, while the other two are (idrivaing up somothinag in a shadly way that they do not possess. Tihis t is anaother kind~ ofl.education. y Something ovor thirty YEars ago 1 I found a lot of 01(1 burnt naila aind 1r ironr ini some fertIil izers that we >. were usmng. ni As thie stuff had eC~4 over $80 per ton, anad I dIid not bl),lieve our soil could "digest'' metahes we -traced tihe thing back to t he tactory, -where we fouind them biuying ashes .from auli over thle c ouin try andI towns to supply this inugredienit in; this brand of goods; while we far mers at home had riot yet learned that we were throwin i away our ashes at home and buying threm at. l the rate of $30 per toni aand freight. from Charleton.
