Preservation q Cotton Seed.

Ns. UNCONSTITUTIONAL the medium Of your

lection and preservation of cotton seed. sup
pose some Of our planters already feel the
great Importance Of this subject from past ex.
pcrience. know men in this county who
were set bacl; some three or four weeks in
their crops last spring, for the want Of seed to
plant New corners especially, were put to
great deal Of trouble to get seed. Now, would
It not bc much better TO pay reasonable price
for seed, than TO he put off in this way by
those who have seed, until they arc done plan
ting, and then run the risk Of getting them? ?
Cotton here should be planted by the first Of
March, or the 10Th at firthcst. Each planter
should have at least enough Of seed 10 plant
over II necessity requires. by this means we
would always secure a good stand which is one
half of the battle.
lncyer was great advocate of Iiootled sce,l,
but that there is difference in seed, no man
can doubt who has had any thing to do with
cotton. There arc several kinds Of seed in this
county, but they arc so adultcratcd and mixed
up, that none Of them resemble the original.
The brown seed is an excellent variety and
yields very heavily. The Prolific natures and
