on Sunday last, tie 18th of May, we Wis
tied one OF the four cotton plantations on
Nariposa Greek, in this county, and were
shown through the field by the enterprjs-
ing proprietor, T. J. +. Wilcox, Esq. We
found The crop making an exceedingly Wig
or0us gtowth, having an even stand and
remarkably clear Of weeds and grass. Mr..
Wilcox has planted twenty-siX and Lalf
acres OF choice Mariposa Creek land, all Of
which was deeply plowed and well pnlve
rizad with the harrow before planting.
The ground appears sufficiently moist to
produce rop without rain or irrigation,

that he raised corn on the same field

without JAc all Of irrigation, a test which,
we think, is sufficient TO prove its capabii-
ty to mature the present crop without the
possibility Of a failure. There are three
other fields on the same character Of land
lying contiguous to the above, averaging
twenty-five acres each, all of which was re-
ported to us-to present a healthy appear
