SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.


In forming . cotton climate nature
requires not only . liberal supply Of
solar heat and sunshine, but also moro
moisture in the atmosphere than will
meet tho wants Of many other plants.
This atmospheric humidity IL very f.
vorable to the growth and everlasting
existence of all the best grasses known
to man. In delivering an agricultural
address to cotton planters in Burke
County. Ga. in l8l7. I called At
tention to the fact of their having
to fight grass al their lives
In cotton fields was proof
positive that grass will grow and does
grow in . cotton climate. No man
ever made . crop Of cotton without
planting cotton seed and defending his
favorite staple against the invasion Of

Having a dozen articles In embryo

the wise use of crabRrass seed already
planted by . liberal hand on every

from crab-grass or any other. the soil
must have fertility in mineral ele-
