How TO RAISE CorroN. .-Editor Dis
patch: ask farmers to try my plan in
raising cotton Break your land deep in
January or February in rows with turn
plow. Let the rain fall OF i. and draw all
the sediments in the furrow where you will
plant your cotton. Heap up your lot and
f'2:'! m''y:."e Hb""rt.n. Put layer Of lot
mannre, 4 layer Of stable manure, liMht
layer of cotton seed, and a layer Of salt !;
200 lbs. Of salt and "A bushels of cotton seed
to four acres is plenty. made four b lies of
Gotten on four acres of land by this plan
| left six rows in the field without anything
under it and it would have taken Eve acres
of it to make one bale. Don't run any
furrow when you put down the manure, let
the sediment remain unbrokcn.
Some people believe in guauo, don't.
Ten pounds to an acre is ali ! ever used,
that | rolled my cotton seed with and
believe it paid as much as 100 lbs would.
But some people are like the old woman
who took one pill she said if one did so
much good she would take dozen so she
did and she had enough Of pills, and thiak
some f::our farmers have enough Of guano.
