All can Judge whether the rotated prices
affxed to each variety Of cotton has been
done with falrnees. It will be remembered

AS to possible acreage to the hand with 49,
1t will be shown, In order. that with improved
success we can maintain a possibly equal ayer-
age with tho interior.
Tho abovo results come with such startling
force, that 1t becomes Proper to Inquire mar.
