If cotton was worth 1 f? cen*s a .
pound .vo would -till need j?ot ?toes,
peaches, milk, pork, etc., so ,|
wo should begin to stud'- how to ji
arrange our farms so a- to per-' NX
manently raise all the-e supplies. |
And this is all the more m* -es.a ?
ry because cotton is likely to be n
low in price for a long time yet. p
For there is a groat deal ol new n
land yet to put in cultivation in n
Texas, Indian Territory, Oklaho
ma and elsewhere, and of course'
most of these new farms will
raise cotton.
So it lias become a matter of
self-defense for Southern farmers
to raise their supplies as much as'
possible at home. To arrange |j
each farm so as to raise this will S
require some thought on the part I.
of each and every farmer. My ti
object in writing this letter is to'tl
bet you a-thinking about how to's
arrange your farm to rais.-? these1
Hupplies. 11|
If you want milk and butter. f\
you must have one or more cows.
Then first get a cow or more. a
Also set out a few acres m I5er- p
muda grass for spring and sum-'fj
raer pasture, and sow some sor
ghum to feed green in uiiiiner. ,,

"There are aonie shippers in
America who claim that the
Liverpool trade is altogether to!
particular. It should heremeio-J
bored, however, that this is tlie^
best foreign market for American
cotton in the world, and nobody
familiar with the condition in
which our cotton arrives at Liverpool
can dispute the claim that
there is urgent need for reform.
There is no other valuable product
that comes into Liverpool
Irom anywhere in the world so
badiv protected, and on which
then- is such a loss because of
careless packing and handling.
as American cotton. Some
ino!itli> am) an export connected
with the Liverpool Marine Sal-1

I nited States, on the suggestion J
of representatives of the trade
there, to investigate the subject j
of country damaged cotton. This'
gentleman. Mr. .Fames Mct'abe, is1
very emphatic as to the great
carelessness of the cotton growers 1
and of the transportation com
panics in the manner of protect-j
ing cotton from 'country dam-:
age.' He asserts also that the
inspection at New York is not
thorough enough, and he gives
me a number nl instances, lie

cotton growers a widespread opin

of Egyptian cotton has up to

opening up of the Nile Valley

forces, and the consequent
establishment of civilization
throughout that region, may
