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.

It is de sired to make the Department of as great practical benefit to the people as possible, and effort will be spared to attain this end. During this winter the fruit growers are specially urged to make a careful examination of their trees, and send any insect or twig to the Department so that the matter may be if it importance.
