Tobacco Department.
O. I.
I some time ago received a letter
from the editor a widely
lated tobacco trade paper, asking
me to his paper an article
on Eastern North
plant tobacco with at ten
cents I contented and the gist
of all I in that article was, if
farmers they would net ten
a pound for their cotton for
the next few there would
not lie twenty per cent, of a
co crop next year if they
knew would get no more for
it than it has brought since 1895.
Now my object in this
here is Is it not possible that
by the use of judgment and
planting the next crops of
cotton and tobacco that we may
both get more than we have been
for our tobacco and ten
cents a pound for cotton t
should have taught us by
this time at least that it is both
foolish and dangerous to our
entire dependence in any crop.
Let every farmer who reads this
ask himself the why did
sell for more this year
last t Why has tobacco sold for
more than it did last year f Crops
on the whole are no better than
they have been but they are short-
than they have been, and there-
in lies the secret to the situation.
Scarcity of article increases the
demand for article in-
creased demand means higher
prices. This cannot be refuted.
farmers don't conclude
that all your are going
to cut off their tobacco and
crop you will get rich one
year by doubling yours, because
nearly everyone of them have come
to same conclusion that you
have and if you do this there will
be trouble for you next fall. If
farmers would only organize them-
if did nothing
more than look after keeping the
acreage their crops within the
bounds of reason, there is no telling
the good that would result from it.
