CoTroN BLOOMS AND LARGE STALK
On Thursday last, 'saltk Of cotton was
brought to this Office. which ion. size, and
the number Of shapes .upon::it, beats any
thing VIC have seen" this season. The stalk
is so inches high, with 81 shapes, and 2
blooms. 1t was raised by Mrs. e. W Viii
man ard her sons-they employing no freed
men-on their place. - miles from town,
and near Knard's L. D. 1t was taken from
q two and half acre patch, the whole OF
which will average about 30 inches in
height, and which, at the time, was whi:e
with blooms. This patch is not all tue cot
ton this Industrious family have planted,
bu. is one which was early put in, and hence
its advanced condition. Those who dote on
cotton, and think the plant better looking
than any other which grows, would be de,
lighted with-a field Just like the one this
specimen is taken from.
Another bloom has been shown by Dir
!. K. Hunter, which was taken from six
acre field. The field, we are told, averages
about two feet in hcigth.
And still another, from Dir. Jake Kib.er'
place. No particulars.
Cotton, from these specimens, is doing its
Gest, and if the new crop can be sold at pres.
cnt prices, farmers will be able to pay out.
