E1aRT LOCKS TO THE BOIL.

The Origin and Character OF the Pro-
dizzy Cotton.
The unparalleled productiveness of Can
mons prodigy cotton bids fair to lnaugurate a
new era in cotton planting, and, as there Ia
evidently disposition on the part of enter.
prlsIng planters to give this cotton trial, q
comprehensive description of Its origin and
character will be Of interest.
The prodigy cotton Is new and dl stlnct
species OF short cotton, bearing eight locks
to ths bo,l-twice the number borne by ordi-
nary cotton. Itis progressive, the tendency
being to increase, as several bolls have been
gathered from the eight lc.k stalks which
bore t,oelve locks. Tue double iruitage of the
eight lock cotton Ia iu itself great
consideration as it will, by increasing
the yield, diminish both the quantity of land
to be planted and the expense Of labor. In
productiveness 1t far surpasses any on record,
having yielded the past year, with limited
application offertllizers, and imperfect culti-
walton, at the rate of six thousand pounds TO
the acre! Colonel Cannon In 1871 started with
one boil of eight lock cotton; he has now seed
enough to plant three-quarters OF an acre,
from whica he expects to gather at the rate of
seven thousand pounds OF seed cotton to the
acre. The genuine eight lock seed can be OBJ
tanned from John Thomson Il Co., seedsmen
and florists. No. 2sS King street, at one dollar
a seed, and some of the seed growing on the
same stalks from which the eight lock was
gathered, but bearing four and five locks 10
the boil. will be sold for seventy.fve cents a
seed. These last will produce eight lock bolls,
but not In the eame ratio as the genuine eight
lock.
Specimens of the prodigy cotton can be seen
AZ the store of John Thomson & Co., No. 2ss
King street, and also at the Office of the Rural
Carollnian. Orders with cash remittance ad-
dressed to John Thomson & Co., seedsmen
and florists, No. 288 King street, Charleston
8. G., OF to Colonel W. d. Cannon a.
Stephens Depot, Northeastern Railroad.
c., will NEE, prompt attention. only two
thousand Of the prodigy cotton seed will be
sold the present season. For the encourage.
