With regard TO the time Of planting, We
are Of opinion, lha, il should be planted as
early as .hs seasonc viii permit, and al
.Earthssr the crop should be planted by the
middle O April, for the sooner you a gel,
your cropIo asrand the better, and likewise
give i, sufficient time 10 make itself before
the arrival Of early frost. The 6rst sideing
should be done with q narrow scooter,
ploughing deep and running as close TO
the Colon as you can without plorghlng
il up. Then thin out the width OF your
hoe. leaving from two 10 FIVE stalks in a
bunch. The second SLIDING should BIO
with a common shovel. Ploughing out
the middles pretty deep. and pulling The
dir freely up 10 The Cotlon this time with
the hoe. The las, ~ploughine, be careful
o TO plough too deep next the Cotton.
bu, the middles should be plonghed out
deep. These ploughings will be sufficient
for The making Of The crop.
With regard to late ploaghing, there IS
q diversity Of opinions, but we arc Of OPT
MON, that late ~ploughing is Of advantage,
By destroying the small 6brous or succour
roots. IL we may so term them, and also
the grass, which q this season is apt to
spring up Especially if The season he a wet
one,) and shade the lower bolls v them
and occasion them 10 rol. as also the amount
Of nourisbment il abstracts from the soil
for its own nutrimeni, it also leaves the
crop clean and free from grass. aud which
is likewise an advantage in The picking out
Of Cotton. With regard to topping Cotton
there is also a diversity Of opinions, but
we are Of the opinion that nature never
intended i, TO be done, bu, if done at all, It
should be done carly.
For if i, does any good in boiling. (Which
is douhtful) you will have the advantage
Of the bolls arriving n, maturity before the
arrival Of early frost. whereas. on the con-
lra'y, although you may prevent succ"nrs
by late topping. yet the bolls that may DC
formed after topping, canuo, arrive a, SUI
fcient maturity before frost. TO he Of any
benefit, so that you make bolls for the i:osi
Instead Of the gin house, bu, in early Top
ping. if the season suits, you will have The
advantage Of the increase Of bolis.
We deem il unnecessary to say any
thing about picking it out, ginning, sending
it to market, &C.. as every turner is euif-
ed in these particulars by his means and
peculiar circumstances at the time. and
believing that We have said a sufficient on
the subject, to he OF any practical utility,
wi,houI wasting your time aud attention
with miuu,ia. We respectfully submit the
same. JOHN HOLLAND,
