by heavy spells of weather. 1t is said it
picks easier than our common cotton. The
staple is good, ana am inclined to think
finer than the Mexican.

the seed Of which he is offering for sale,
examined the cotton in the field after it

any other stalks | have ever seen. Ma
nv limbs OF twelve inches in length hav-
ing from five to ten bolls. ] believe the
staple superior TO the Mexican cotton.

XYLoN, Dec. 3. 1915.
/ visited Mr.. w. B. Formers plantation
cotton. am convinced that it is the hea-
West boiled cotton | ever saw, either in
Mississippi or Louisiana; and it shed less
than the strongest lands in Carroll county
the most of his land being high and con-
slderably worn. 1t also has the appear
| ance of commencing to boil sooner than
the common cotton, there being bolls on
all or nearly all of the first limbs that
come out. The cotton is known in this
section as the Sugar-Ioaf Cotton, and the
leaf is small, which from the shape OF the
stalk does not expose the negroes to the
dews in first picking as the common cot
ton. The staple is good, and believe
better than the common Mexican cotton.

CARROLL CO., MI, Dec. s, l845.
Having been called on by Mr.. w. B.
Farmer to give my opinion with regard to
his Sugar Loaf Cotton, feel fully justif-
ed in confirming ali its superiorities as GER
tilted to by Mr.. Robinson, Maj. Terry,
and DR.. Fisher, having passed through
his field some several times during The
summer. It's stalk has the shape of the
sugar loaf; the leaves are smaller, bolls
heavier than any other cotton have ever
seen. 1t sheds lis squares less, as such
stands the drough better. The staple and
bears finer than the Mexican cotton, ap-
from the manner in which it hangs from
the bolls, would seem to be easier gather
err; and although he was some 2to weeks
later planting, his crop was open fully as
early as mine on the same kind of land

BLACK Hawk, Dec. 10, 1916.
Having been called upon by Mr.. w. B.
Farmer to state what think of his Sugar
Loaf Cotton, the seed of which he is Of
fering for sale-A neighbor of mine with
adjoining plantation planted a few bushels
of them as an experiment, cultivated il
exactly as he did his other cotton which
was Mexican seed of the second or third
years. growth and on same kind of land.
visited his crop oftenimes during the
summer, and am sure ii was the heaviest
boiled cotton ever saw. The leaf was
smaller-it is much easier picked--a hand
being able to pick third more of it, and
can pick it much cleaner of trash with the
same care-lhe staple is slaughter, and OF
/ finer texture than any cotton have ever
seen. VIM. GILLESPIE.
