He prefers the last; it was on the last he showed
me the richest cotton. l have this to say my own
account: This rpest piece was moro forward than
any have seen in the timbered country 250 miles
South.
Last year he sent aspecmen Of the cotton he raised
10 England. and it was examined and analyzed at
Manchester. The report published in the Journal
of the Illinois Agricultural Society is to the effect,
that the specimen was better than Orleans cotton
and 20 per cent stronger, but not quite 30 good as
Sea Island Cotton. The reason he gives for this
superiority is, that in the South particularly on low
grounds, tho dews are very heavy-the cotton Is
drenched with it by night, by day the intense heat
of the sun scalds and steams it, and, AS coSsE'
euEscr, wEAKEss THE FIBER. On the prairie there
is much less dew, fresh wind always blows, and
the sun shines with mder rays.
Next year he will plant all the seed hc can get,
providing it will not be more than will be required
for 1000 acres.
The cost Of raising acre Of cotton is very little
more than is required for Of corn. IL Is about
the same US for an acre Of broom-com. An acre OF
tobacco can be raised ready to hang up for twenty
dollars, and il is worth ten fifteen dollars more to
cure IL, N. c. VI.
