One'ot the most striking and deeply Interesting features of the report is the collection of statistics Is refsrd to the cost of the production of cotton, with comments of tbe Commissioner. The statistics are based on twp esti mates - one of the lowest cost at which cotton can bo produced by farmers who raise everything at home, and the who wry oitcot), 10117, syrup, «e., ana ppsre or loss corn. The Comadssloo- er’s estiraato of tbe average cost lo course both these estimates cover only short staple cotton. Tbe report says; “The conclusion is inevitable tljat the' “farmer who has mads an overage _ “ crop of ootton and produced Ot the “ same time a full suppljt con, fod- “ds/orbay, syrup, potatoes, vegeta bles, bacon and lard, and has 4 stock “of hogs and cattle for tbe □#*• year, ?feas done a profitable year's work; “ and Just In proportion as he hfes neg “looted these supplies bis profits “have been less and less until the op- “poslte extreme is reached, when he “will have lost act less than'4 8-10 “ eshteon every pound produced.” These estimates are not mads on tbs actual outlay, but on tbs lowest price at which cotton must be sold to save the farmer from loss on his gen eral farm operations. It does not appear Very dearly from the report what particular Items make up the estimated cost, and as this Is a matter of the greatest interest to the farmers all ov jr the South, we would Uke to see a detailed statement of how the estimate is mads. It la evident t bat the Coinmlsalooer bas done feta work systematically and thoroughly, and he could doubtless give tbe information to the public In a short letter, aad we kope that he will 1 Another Inportant feature of the re port is the comparison of the three different modes of employing labor— •0 shares, by wages and as renters— ^ the verdict of the GommisslOQsnbdlfeg unhesitatingly In favor of the Wages -yetern. f 7 ^ , At the edd of the report there are a number of valuable tables, from one of which tbe following lutereeting facts are taken ; In Gsorgla the average wages of full hand*, men, in addition to rations, are $8 31 per month, and 44 cents per day. Tbs average number of bales of cotton made per mule Un the wages system is 4 4 10, on the share system 85 10. Of the farm laborers employed this year 83 per - sent, were employed un the wages eays- tem, 42 per cent, on shares, and 26 per sent, as renters, The wages system was most satisfactory to 60 per cent, of Those farther^ Whose replies were to 18 per Pat* :• «< pgm&y'y/ f f-. v4 mm M- ■" "•s Oovl-6m Janies A.
