let us next compare full crops Of uplands
and sea islands, planted on the above lands,
according to acreage Of each to hand, man,
tanned in slave culture. The average upland
acreage to hand In the ten cotton States was
as follows:

Giving general average OF 9.3l. A full
average acreage for sea Islands was about -.
This Would Include Florida, where she average
acreage was much higher in sea Islands than

All can Judge whether the related prices
affixed TO each variety Of cotton has been
done with fairness. It will be remembered
that uplands ut the first OF the season, COM
mantled as least thlrty-nvc cents.
AS to possible acreage to the hand with us,
| It will be shown in order. that with improved
sucooss we can maintain possibly equal aver
age with the interior.
The above results como with such startling
| force, that it becomes proper to inquire nT-
rowIy into details JOHN w. Il. Pope.
