Cotton Ero,sin. an Illinois.

EDS. PRNgfE FAEMEE:-iu ans er - IN
quiries We viii give al! the Information W.
have in regard T. cotton growing in Southern
Illinois.
We DO not think cotton can be P.o:tably
cultivated north Of the Ohio and Mississippi
railroad. We have rot cu!liyatod cotton as
successfully rs have other counties. Jetier-
son. Franklin and Williamson c0nn:ies ali
made quite business Of cotton planting las,
year The cotton i good. IL is very white,
and the fibre is very frc, bu; the staple is
short Some parties have been engaged in
ginning and baling cotton in Carbonda.e,
who slinprd rhcr cotton t) New York, ard
sold as high IS Sl.4o per pound
When our cotton IS vel handled it viii APP
pear as well as any cotton raised in Louisi-
ana. and bat for the shortues; Of staple is
equal to the best cotton raised south. Is =
quantity the range IS wide; rs to tie amount
per acre. in timbercG land, where the soil IS
rich, some parties ia Williamson county rails
cd as inVch A. fifteen hundred pounds .a the
secd-tha; IS before the cotton IS ginnel.-
Others say they have raised FIVE Hundred
pounds in the seed. You may .afely calcu-
late, If frost keeps OF as late a. 1t lid last
year, that where the cotton is well worked
az well saved, The average will be about
seven to eight hundred pounds in the seed.
The loss in ginnl"gi Is heavy-say four pounds
If seed cotton when well ginned will made
one pound Of clean cotton, ready to bale ard
ship. One hand can cultivate about ten
acres in this climate, with small crop OF
corn, say ten acres, and ten acres OF oats.
The "in to clean out the seed will cost from
$500 to Sl5no-;hat is, with house and gin
stand ready to go to work. The cotton may
be pressed in our common hay presses.
As to the plan of caltivatiug, good deal
depends on the soil. The land should be
well plowed and harrewel, and then throw1
up in ridges from four to four and u half feet
wide; the top Of ridge weil narrowed oif,
and q very small plow used in opening the
ridges, and after sowing the seed, turn
the harrow bottom side up and run over the
top Of the ridge. The seed should be cover
cd as lightly rs possible The cotton should
be carefully scraped as soon as it gets three
to four inches high, and thin in about two to
four weeks. After that time il should be
thinned 10 stand, or rather to double
stand. until you can tell how to select the bes
an! most thrifty plants. l; is best, if posi-
Die, to Eill the cotton at first with the com
mon ten inch hoe. Great pains should be
taken in selecting such soil as willIbe clear
of grasses. .=sEe raw
There is great excitement about cotton II
some of the more southern counties We
were told by one of the best merchants il
Southern Illinois that up to Yesterday there
had been sold three thousand bushels of cot
ton seed. If ibis should be q good season
Egypt will raise a very large amount O
cotton. COFFEY. BROWN & co.
