Last Years Cotton Crop.

AS the season is rapidly approaching
when we may expect navigation in our riv-
ers, we do not know that we could devote
portion of our space to a better purpose,
than to call the attention of our planting
friends to the condition of their last years
cotton crop. 1t is not at all improbable that
considerable portion of last years crop,
from exposure, and, in some instances, from
eareiessness, is il damaged condition. and
unit tor market, and as our planters have
doubtless suffered enough loss already for
want OF navigation. We would urge upon
them the necessity of oyerhauling their
crops of last year. and. if possible. avoid
further loss by shipping it in a damaged
condition
It is evident that it would be-to the inter
est Of every planter to look. at once. to the
condition Of his last years crop. and if dam

possible. If the bagging is decayed, or any

Planters are aware of the damage their
crops very often sustain in their long, and

when it reaches the market, in many in-
stances. would not sell for enough to pay
freight and charges. We would therefore
urge upon our planters the absolute neces-
