THURSDAY, FEBRUARY. 22, 1900. A WORD OF WARNING. If I lie farmers oft he South will' ;\ct with wisdom horn of experience lhis year and not plant the n;irih in cotton, manured witli expensive fertilizers, they will have Hie situation well in hand next fall, and can almost dictate their price to the havers. With cotton at ei??.ht and a hall cants, at plant-. JOiC tipia,the bail, is very alluring, 11, jf tiio cmnp thiny I ?>?r -c?ti ui'iv ..~ .. which has happened so many times will he repeated. It experience counts lor any-; thing the bitter past ought to con-, virce the farmer that lie cannot *liord to increase his acreage at the present price of fertilizers. I>y diversifying his crops he can use home-made manures to a large extent and defy the trust, and be:-i !es pave the way for a lair price lor his produce. We do not arrogate to ourscll superior wisdom to those who liave made fanning a life-long study, and we feel loath to oiler the "advice*' that is so lree!v given them: at the same time it is incumbent upon us to utter a word of warning at this lime, which we do in all humility ami sincerity. The .outlook for the farmer is brighter than it has I .en lor vears. To a certain extent lie lias ilie jutnre in lii.s own hand-, and on j his year's crop largely hangs hi> late lor a year or two, at least. l>v united efiort the present ierlilizer trust can be smashed as surely as was that of the jute bagging in "01. The price of fertilizers has advanced beyond all' reason, and for the planter of limited means to btiv a ouantnv on time is inviting disaster upon himself. We do not attempt to do more $han put our tanner friends to thinking. As our patronage i. largely made up of this class, and their prosperity is correlative with n;ir success, we fee! that we would he untrue to them and recreant to our dutv to keep silent at thiscrit-: jcal time when their interests are -u largely at stake* (ien.
