HOW TO GROW COTTON on OUR
NORNOUT OLD FIELDS?

Editor Times:
This is IN important question, as
this class lands. 1t is acknowledged
~ all intelligent planters that these
lands cannot be cultivated with profit
unaidcd by manurcs, under the pre-
sent system Of labor. And even with
manure, if not judiciously applied,
we often fail TO obtain rcmuncrativc
crops. We can only succeed by Il
proper rotation and judicious appli-
cation Of fertilizers. This has en-
gagged the writer's attention for
thirty years, and lie believes now
that he has found the cause Of failure
in growing cotton Oh these lands.
The first great cause Of failure is y
want Of humus in the soil, cotton
isa humus destroying plant. We
are compelled to keep the weeds and
grass clean il we would have our cot
ton put on Il full crop Of fruit. Iiu-
mus is essentially, necessary to hold
moisture, and plant food in solution
for the cotton, in protractcd drougths
which are common in late years.
