Cause Of the Failure of Select Cot
ton Seed.

Editors Chronicle Dc Sentinel: The
writer has heard several complaints of
late that the so called select cotton
seeds sold by Mr.. Dickson, of Hancock,
and also by Mr.. Dickson, of Oxford,
and others have turned out to be no
more prolific than ordinary upland seed.
There appears to be an evident cause of
this failure and it is suggested in the
hope that many who have been purcha-
sers of these seeds may yet profit by
them.
The greatest and most common error
in culture Of cotton is deep plowing.-
Let any man try it impartialIy and in
any ordinary season in which rain
does not follow after deep plowing,
surface. culture will be found far the
best.
The roots of the cotton plant spread
rnpidly.aud very carly. The inevitable
result of the use ofany plow but sweep
is that these roots are cut, the crop be.
comes late and the quantity of fruit
small.
There are now before us three stalks
of prolific cotton raised from the same
seed, but by two men, one of whom
uscd,a sweep alone in lds crop, the other
used rooter plow the first two or three
plowings. The one stalk from the field
of the first is crowded with open bolls
from top to bottom, while the stalks
from the latter party's field have no
bolls at all scarcely except toward the
top, aud there they arc thick as need
be,
In the case of the first, where the
sweep was used exclusively, the plant
took fruit heavily all through the sea-
son.
In the second case, the rootcr plow
being used, the growth of the plant was
continually checked in root cutting and
it took on no fruit until it was laid by.
As soon as he let the roots alone, the
growth proceeded naturally and was at
tended with much fruit.
One planter stimulated his crop by
proper culture, while the ether only hurt
it by his system, and never allowed it to
bear fruit until he stopped working it.
We venture to say that four.ffths Of
the so called failure in select seeds re-
suited from the fault here Indicated
The appearance Of the stalks before us
from the same seed, clearly indicates the
fatal issues of this course as well as the
II the blame properly belongs to The
planter himself it should not be laid up
on the seed. CHRISTOPHER.

WOOD ASHES AS A FERTILIZER
This is one of the most valuable fer
tilizcrs within the reach of the farmer.
The unleachcd article has the most
potash, but the lcachcd is thought
to be quite as valuable. In leachcd they
shrink good deal, and lime is usally
added which increases their value. They
are generally sold too, at less price
Ashes are well suited to all farm crops,
and are very beneficial in the fruit yard
and orchard. Most farmers still sell
wood in the cities and villages and
rather than go home empty, they
should carry back ashes aud other fer
tilizers, to replace the potash, lime and
phosphoric acid that have been carried
offin the crops and animals sold. Ashes
show immediate effects from their ap-
plication. and at the same time last
long in the soil. They arc very highly
appreciated in the onion growing dis.
tricrs, but may be applied with cqua!
advantage TO ordinary farm crops
They should be KEEP. as uear the sur
face as possible, spread and narrowed
into the seed bed, or applied directly
