COTTON CULTURE.

There seems to be, throughout the cotton-grow-
ing States an earnest effort on the part OF lntelil-
gent farmers, to improve the method Of cotton
culture, in such way as to compensate for the
disasters entailed upon cotton growing by the re-
suits of the war. The results of many expert
ments in this way would prove highly interesting
to our farmers. ......
One of the latest Improvements in culture, and
one at present attracting considerable attention, is
that suggested by Poulain, of Maryland. His
plan is to plant the seeds in hot beds in February,
or early in. March, and thus mature the plants for
transplanting in April or May As sthecotton plant
lis a tender growth, difficult to transplant in the
usual way, he proposes to ebviate this difficulty by
using earthen pots open at each END, of q conical
shape. The pot is filled with earth and six or
eight seeds placed in it, the proper depth. These
pots are arranged in the hot house on planks, and
the plants thinned ont to the proper number when
large enough. When the period for transplanting
arrives, the plants are removed to the field with
the pots upon .themp then carefully set into the
bills; the earth closed around the hill, and the pot
removed 81 A. planhaeight or ten inches high, is
thus started in the field st1the asnal period Of
planting the seeds The coical shape OF the pot
admits its removal from the plant without disturb
ing the earth or the roots Of the cotton.ea.Eall
Poulain also proposes to place the plants, thus
generated, in hills from four 70 eight feet apart
each way, the hills having first been deeply dug,
and we'll inanured 1t is asserted that experiments
under this method have produced yield amply
eompensating for the labor employed.
4 gentleman in Edgefeld, in this State, raised
last year fifteen hs7.dred pounds Of lint cotton to
one acpepf land, under q process somewhat simi-
lar. HepAatedtw stalks to the hill, at dis.
tanee of,aaht feet each way. The hills were pre-
pared as for transplanting fruit trees being dug
down ,toa depth of twenty inches and two feet di.
ameter. Sandy loam and manure vas then filled
in, and the seeds planted. The enormous yield i
attributable to the thorough sub-soiliDg, the man
ure and the space-the latter being sufficient to
allow the rays of the sun to penetrate to the lower
branches of the plant and develop these fnly.
As cotton is essentially sun plant, never thriving

l.; Our community was lately shocked by the sud
den death of Daniel Cicero Jeferies, son Of Sam
uel Jeaeries, Esq. This painful occurrence wa'
very singular, as well as affecting. He, though
mere boy, about IA years old, was experimenting
the ginning of cotton during his fathers absence
Two or three little negro boys, about the same ego
were with him. They in play, had scratched 'eu
hole about three feet deep IN pile of seed cot
ton. After playing about this for some time, ht
remarked that he was cold, and that he would &
down in that hole and get warm. The ginnor, be
ing engaged, did not notice him. The little ne
groes, perceiving that he remained there a ionG
time, went to see him, and found that he hac
breathed his last: He went in head foremost, his
feet sticking out The little negroes, sport, may
have crowded the cotton around him; or thet
may have not. 1t was evident, from signs, thai
he struggled, and that life was suddenly checked
No one is blamed in the affair. The calamity
seemed unavoidable No person would have
dreamed Of danger, or thought that harm could
arise from the habit that Southern boys have o.
playing in cotton This is plain statement the
sad calamity which snatched away q promising boy
from an affectionate family From this, boyt
should learn to be very careful in their sport Life
is brittle thread. Danger often turnsupin places
of apparent safety. To all, this lessen is plainly
taught: BE ye also ready: ,"
The New Year is upon us. Let us trust that
.our people will endeavor to make more out Of ],
than they did out of the one just past. We have
no big elections, no stamp oratory, no wire pulling
no mass meetings. no torch-light professions, to
distract and disgust US. Each man can get about
his own business now in peace. We hope that
next New Year will find us wiser and better peo
pie. ' 50 - -. o. - -.'' ., ~
