can learn there have been considerable rains in
all parts Of the county. Many OF our oldest
planters say, that since the cold weather they
have never seen corn and cotton grow 80 fast,
and at present there is every indication that
there will be good crop made m Barnwell
County. We learn from j. j. Ingram, Esq.,
and Colonel B. H. Brown, who have just re-
turned from Allehdale, that the crops OF corn
and cotton in that section Ct the county are
superior to anything they have seen. Some
OF the cotton stalks have from thirty TO forty
forms on them, aud an occasional bloom IS re-
ported. The crops are highly msnured, and
this accounts for their rapid growth. One
planter used as much as twelve hundred
pounds OF fertilizers on single acre."
