the corn at this stage of the crop, serves the
purpose of causing the corn roots to strike
deeper into the earth, where they are more
favorably circumstanced for sustaining the
corn in drought, and are also better pro-
tected from the pillow at subsequent workings.
The subject of corn culture is an old one.
and greal deal has been said and written
in relation to it, but it is one of vast i'm
portunce to the cotton planter, and we shall
never tire in its discussion. The last year
has turned out bountiful corn crop, and
we fear that some, fattered by the univer-
sally large supply on hand, may be induced
to dock this part of the crop, or be careless
in its cultivation. This is bad policy
Keep the corn crib well filled and you will
have less money to pay out for bacon, your
pillow team will be kept in better order, and
in consequence, your cotton fields will be
better cultivated.

WAKING THEM UP.-The congregation
of an old Minister, in Kentucky, was in the
habit of going to sleep, One Sabbath the
minister took with him to church tin
whistle. AS soon as his hearers went to
sleep as usual, he emitted from it a very
shrill sound. All were instantly awake,
and stood up to hear him says:
''You are set of smart specimens of
humanity, amt YET" as he slowly gazed at
his wondering people; ''when preach the
gospel, you go to sleep; when play the
fool, you are awake, and look like parcel of
hornets with a pole in their nest"

CALHOUN COTTON.

Mr.. EDITOR: l have seen in the last
number of your valuable paper, commun-
icaton from Capt. Byrd, of Greenwood, on
the Calhoun Cotton. From little expert
ment | made with that Cotton, can en-
dorsc all Capt. Byrd says as to its produc-
tive qualities. obtained last spring, from
Maj. James Cresswell, of Greenwood, a few
bushels of the seed, and planted just as
did my other cotton, only little later, from
which cause | did not obtain good stand |;
yet notwithstanding the imperfect stand, l
gathered from third to fourth more per
acre, than my Petit Gulph planted in the
same field, cultivated precisely alike. l
planted small lot, containing by measure
ment, seven-eighths Of an acre, from which
| gathered 400 lbs. seed cotton, which is
at the rate of 1000 lbs. per acre. This lot
was not MANFRED, nor any extra cultivation
given it, though in that lot l had good
stand. From the fact that it natures some
10 or II days earlier than any other varie-
ties have tried, think it is the cotton for
our climate. have been planting cotton
in small way in this District, for the last
Is years, and in that time have tried several
kinds of cotton, but have never found any
with which am so we'll pleased.
In conclusion, | must say have none of
the seed for sale; any one, however, wish
ing to obtain them, can do SO by sending
their orders to Maj. Creswell or Capt. Byrd,
at Greenwood, Abbeville District, South
Carolina.
Very respectfully,
THOS. CUNNINGHAM.
