The New Egyptian Cotton.
New Orleans Times I

A few days ago mention was made in
this journal of new species of cotton
plant recently discovered in Egypt,
which promises to produce remarkable
results. We are able to furnish some
details in regard to the advantages
claimed for the new cotton.
Its value is in its remarkable product
iveness. Eight acres of this cotton
Which was cultivated by the English en-
gineer on one of the vicerOy's great
sugar plantations, produced 10000
pounds of seed cotton. This gentleman
says that " on the best lands of the Amer
ican cotton belt The yield would certain
ly be not less than five times the guam
tity grown from the ordinary seed"
He describes it as growing to the
height of ten feet, and having a straight
vertical main stem, with few branches
and sparsely leaved. Seventy bolls, of
larger size than GOrdinary cotton plant,
branch to bear. He planted the stalks
from which the results mentioned were
attained, hal f yard apart. The season
which suits it best is a spring damp and
warm, with showers or irrigation, that
the plant mayreceivea Il good first growth.
Then Il summer with bright, hot days,
and nights cooler, with moist evapOra-
tions and heavy dews. The Egyptian
autumn, which is dry, permits the full
est time for the maturity and gathering
the crop.
The viceroy has used every precaution
to prevent the seeds being exported, as
he desires to retain so valuable a plant
exclusively in his own dominion. Where
the new plant originated is not known.
1t is thought to have first been brought
down the Nile from some Of the cotton
producing countries of Africa, lying un-
der the equator. The seed is worth in
Egypt fifty cents per pound, and will
not be sold at al! for rxportation.
As the climate of Egypt is very like
that of our cotton region between this
city and Vicksburg, we have no doubt
it would do quite as well here as on the
Nile, and under the intelligent thorough
culture of American planters, would
certainly produce results at least equal
to those attributed to it in Egypt. An
attempt should be made to obtain suffi-
cient of this seed to give it fair trail.
