One thing is certain, the trade need not be alarmed, as they have plenty to go around. My advice to farmers will be to mar ket their crop and not hold, as I uotico so many are doing on their homesteads. They are getting a g >od price for their cotton and r?*ry high prices for seed, so they will indeed be v >ry unwise it they do not take advantage of the present position and let the speculator carry the burden, and they carry the do'lnre and make inter est on their money. It would appear to mo that this crop has been damaged more by ' advertisement" titan nuythmg else. The farmer has been told that his crop is ruined and ho has! naturally fallen into lino. What! (>eopl?* should ask themselves r; What has ruined the crop from the splendid prospects of* .l ily; was it drouth or insects? If the former, how long did it last? and why does not the plant sh tw it?' i'iu th xicnu weevil, after a!!, only attacks a portion of the crop I \ keeps to the low lauds and I near the woods. It is an insect which does not like the sun. The boll worm, which has d.me con j siderable damage, enters some-j times one or two cells only in the cotton boil, and on others it de j stroya the whole boll. Even thisi insect is only on portions of the cotton belt.
