Cotton Culture and Pfcktnu

Some ten fifteen years ago the best lands in this
county produced from 800 to 500 pounds OF seed Cotton
to the acre. and the best hands picked from $50 to 300
pounds per day. About that time Y Dung America "
brought science and energy to bear on the culture
Cotton when the same lands were made to produce from
1900 to 1000 pounds per acre. and the picking increased
to 500 or 900 pounds per day by hand It was then
predicted that the yield would be probably soon
to 5000 pounds per acre, and 1000 pounds picking per
day by one hand In confirmation of this prediction
Dr. D. Lawrence experimental on one acre lot in this
town and raised 32l7 pounds of seed Cotton on it. which
made TWO bales, one weighing 447 and the other Al
pounds.and we recently published statement of Cot
ton picking In this county, on the Strabane plantation
OF K. T. Bridgers Esq, in which one hand picked 1867
pounds in one day. We are also informed bv Mr.. VIM.
Philips overseer of d. Hinton Esqs plantation in this
county, that he has field of IS acres in Cotton 50 of
which can be selected that will produce this season $500
pounds of seed Cotton to the acre. The above is brief
outline OF the progress made in this county in the cu
ture and picking of Cotton which has not yet attained
its highest point if reliance be placed in the follow
ing statement with which we have been favored bv an
esteemed correspondent -

PLANT TREES.

Our southern readers have yet time to;
and those at the north should begin to be
thinking of planting trees: Mr.. Virgil says,
'When the earth barcs her bosom to the
warm sohth wind; then shall you bring
forth the glittering plough" Mr.. Virgil
was an excellent theoretical agticultnrist,
and wrote great many good things con-
corning lands and fruits and cattle upon a
thousand hills Nov, many indications of
spring do appear. The days begin to length
en-, any the sunbeams are bright and warm.
The morning air has balmy elasticity which
is worth all the inyigorating medicine ever
invented. -Buds are swelling upon trees
and shrubs:-Little entetprising turfs of
green grass start up from the fields of with
cred heritage, with the heroic disposition to
look cheerful or perish in the attempt The
earth is fast becoming rarm; there is not
chill enough remaining to injure hardy
young trees.
We glory in trees. One of the best lines
ever written by Sir Walter Scott is
''Honored and blessed be the evergreen pneA
Proud old elms, with stalwart trunks and
gigantic branches, are our delight and rever-
ence. The graceful locust is wondrouslv
beautiful. The maple; with its artistic
foliage and firm limbs, ID an object to gaze
upon with joy, and so is the modest arbout
vitae.-All trees are beautiful, they are the
noblest works of nature.
