Cotton growing region of the world is not
very extensive. Even in this country, we
believe it to be more limited than it is gen.
orally supposed to be. 1t is said that four
fitths of the Cotton used, is ruiscd in tia
U. States. This perhaps, is an cxtravagan
statement, but even if it approximates to the
truth, it is strong evidence that we live in
the only country where it can bc raised to

Western Suites, which have hitherto been
considered rs most favorable for tho produc-
ton OF that plant, owing to too much lime in
