Cultivation OfCOllOn.

need not tell that the present
system of rapid cultivation of cotton
is wrong. Mr.. David Dickson hit
the nail square on the head when he
recommended the blowing of cotton
every three weeks and the chop
hands to do their work necessary
between the time of the plowings.
With this system four thorough
workings is sufficient, with one fur
row in the middle alter the first of
August.
Most planters nowadays pillow
their cotton SIX or seven times.
They take hold of the cotton plant
as If it was hot-house plant and
work it in rapid succession to hasten
it on to maturity. Let usturn over
and look at it little.
Don't you know that by rapid
cultivation of cotton it causes it to
grow and mature rapidlyg Don't
you know that if cotton grows rap
idly it will put on form rapidly?
Don't you know that as the forms
are put on (aftcr given number Of
days. they bloom in the same pre-
portion! Don't you know that if
each stalk Of cotton has from three
to five per day, unless yos have an
ample supply of manure and mois-
turc (they become sickly, turn yel-
low and drop off? Don't you know
about the 10Th of August. or 18th OF
September that you ask each other
what is the matter with the cotton,
that 1t looks like it is done? Don't
you say, that the guano is exhausted,
or it is the dry weather? Don't you
know that the premature and rapid
growth of your cotton has produced
this deplorable state of things.
If you don't know it, it is high
time that you learn something about
1t. Now turn to Dickson's plan.
If the cotton is cultivated slowly, it
grows slowly; if it grows slowly, it
puts on forms slowly, and as forms
are made slowly they bloom in the
same way, and as they bloom slowly
they are more apt to stick and go
into both. If the whole crop is
made slowly it will open in the same
way, enabling you to keep up with
it in gathering.-[Cor. So. Cultivator
and Dixie Farmer.

him by the delegates to the county
convention, who were not instructed

An Editor.

Henry Watterson in Courier
Journal: Some people estimate the
ability OF periodical and the talent
of the editor by the quantity of its
original matter. 1t is comparatively
an easy task for frothy writer to
string out a column of words upon
any and all subjects. His ideas may
flow in one weak, washy, everlasting
food, and the command Of his Ian
g,,age may enable him to string them
together like punches of onions, and
yet his paper may be meagre and
and poor concern. Indeed the mere
writing part Of editing paper, is
but a small portion of the work.
The care, the time employed IN Sc
lecting, is far more important, and
the fact of a good editor is better
shown by his selections than any
thing else; and that,we know,is half
the battle. But we have said an
editor ought to be estimated, his
labor understood and appreciated,
by the general conduct Of his paper
its tone, Its uniform, consistent
course, aims, manliness, its dignity
and propriety. To preserve these
as they should be preserved, is
