Soils FOR Experience has
demonstrated that cotton may be grown
on almost any soil where the climate per-
mits the maturity of the bolls, with Judi
cious culture and suitable fertilizers but
there are certain classes Of soils especially
adapted to this crop. The alluvial or river
bottoms stand first in the list. The bottom
lands, so well adapted to cotton, have an
incxhaustiblc supply Of vegetable mould
which successive ovcrfows have deposited
on them. Rich cancbrakc lands and rolling
prairics, generally designated as black lands,
are also valuable for the certainty with
which they produce crops, their compare
tive freedom from destructive insects and
rolling Surface promoting drainage
Bottom and black lands according to fer
tility. yield from onc.half to two bales of
cotton per acre. These estimates are, of
course, only approximate, and arc ..givcn to
show the relative value Of the lands under
description.
Thcnext are the light sandy and red or clay
soils. On the light sandy lands, i. c., if the
native growth is oak, or rather hard woods,
the yield will be about one bale to two acres.
Red lands or clay soils in the rolling por-
tions OF the country produce from onc-half
to onc..hird of 4 bale to the acre Exclude
lands composed wholly Of clay and very
compact in their natures, lands having no
depth Of soil and an impermcablc subsoil.
Beginners will do we'll to bear in mind
that the crop demands !or satisfactory &c.
suits fine surface culture, plant.food in
abundance, and entire freedom from the
live roots OF hcrbaccons or perennial plants
and the absence Of weed seeds and rubbish
of all kinds. To secure these conditions
the land ought to be broken up early
enough 10 insure the decomposition of dead
herbage, quack grass and the like, that they
may be turned under by tho plough.
With the cotton plant, as with most 9th.
or srowths, the yield may be greatly in
creased and improved in quality by thor
oush culture and appropriate fertilizers.
