A gentleman in South Carolina, who
evidently entertains great hopes Of the

but only $50 lbs will be taken in this |
circulation, to be within safe margin
Now, the importation of fertilizers has
been greater in the South during the |
past winter than at any previous period.
1t is estimated that Georgia alone has
consumed 1900 tons, and the other
States have taken proportionate quanti-
ties. This increase in the use Of fertil-
izers will largely add to the productive
power of the land; and such increase
may be safely estimated at about IL per
cent, which would raise the average
yield of our cotton lands to about 2l0
lbs. per acre. 80 - ue .7Ess57 ~
"There can be no doubt that the cool |
spring which we have had has done a
great deal of injury to the young cotton,
and, in many cases, has necessitated en-
tire replanting. This has been partieu-
larly experienced in this State (renness
see) and the northern parts of Missis-
sippi and Arkansas; but it must be re-
membered that sthe bulk of the crop
is raised in Georgia, Florida, Texas,
Louisiana and the southern parts of
Mississippi and Alabama, which sections
have not suffered as severely from cold
weather as those more northerly, al
though all over the South the season has
been very unfayorable. The negroes {
