UNDERYALTATION OF LANDS.

The time is now at hand when the
Tax receivers are on the rampage,
and We think the following commu-
nication, which appeared in the Tri-
bune of Rome, a few days ago, is pc
culiarly fitting, and we direct the at
tention Of our readers to it:
Let me say word to our real es-
tate owners in city and country as to
the bad policy Of giving in their
property for taxation at too low fig
ure.
Many people who wish TO sell their
farms or city property especially
farms) ask from three to five times as
much for it as they gave. Tor taxes.
| have in my mind locality in a
certain valley embracing some ten or
twelve farms, all of which are for
sale. The selling price Of these farms
aggregate about sixty thousand dol
lars, and they are returned for tax at
about twenty thousand.
Now when stranger steps into a
real estate Office to price farms, the
agent offers him Jno Does farm of
three hundred acres for ten thousand
dollars. The stranger goes TO the
tax book and finds that Doe returns
said farm on oath at three thousand
dollars. The stranger naturally in
qnires: How is this? Here is Mr.
Doe who knows the value OF his prop
erty better than any one and he on
oath says it is only worth $4,000, and
you ask me to pay $4,000 for it. y
The agent is Immediately thrown on
the defensive and endeavors to ex-
plain away the inconsistency, but in
spite of all his skill the stranger goes
away convinced that there is some
thing wrong somewhere.
The fact is patent-either the prop
erty is given in very far below its
value or else the selling price is far
above its value.
This communication is pertinent
Just at this time for our tax receiver
is starting on his rounds.

COTTON PLANTING.

The Southern CNliiuator for April
discusses cotton planting at consider
able length. 1t says This is work
that many farmers think should be
done Sin a hurry" and with the
smallest expenditure of labor. 1t is
all very well to perform a given job
in good style with the least labor,
but it is wCll to consider that by
taking little more time and ex-
pending little more labor and care
mt planting much more work may
be saved. The first requisite to Sc
curing a good stand and subsequent
good yield is good, sound, carefully
selected planting seed OF an improved
kind OF cotton. There is no great
difference in the productiveness OF
the different varieties offered for
sale. Their chief general merit con-
sists in and depends upon the fact
that the seed have been selected
with more or less care for a number
of years. Farmers often plant seed
that appear to be sound and "aIl
right" but on account of imperfect
development or partial heating, it is
found that the vitality of many of the
germs is either originally defective
or it has been impaired The result
isa poor stand of feeble, dying plants.

healthy plants.
The expediency of planting in hills
or checks depends on the quality Of
the seed, the fixed and uniform pro
ductiveness of the individual plants,
and the natural or added fertility of
the soil. The very largest yields on
small areas have generally been from
planting and cultiyating in hills from
seed that were carefully selected with
reference to symmetrical develop
ment and productiveness By this
careful selection the plants have be
come individualized, so thai the sin
gle stalk that may be left in hill
may be counted on to make a large
yi:ld-the maximum that may be
reasonably expected from the area
appropriated to its use. The hill
system requires not more than one
fourth as many seed, which, there.

costly; it requires more labor i'll the
