A Wonderful Cotton Plant.

CHARLESTON, S. c., November 81
News comes from spartanburg, one Of
the best growing counties of this
State, Of new cotton plant, which if it
as claimed, will make wonderful revo.
luton in the agricultural aud cotton oil
interests of the nation. 7. Ferguson, an
experienced cotton planter, claims 10
have a cotton plant which will produce
nothing but cotton seed without the lint.
His statement is briefly as follows:
He claims that there is male and
female cotton plant-the male being
designed, he thinks, by the red calks.
The seeds are varicolored. the shades
being generally blue, green and white,
and of course cannot be distinctly speci.
fed. Given this fact, Ferguson COM
menced, some time ago, to pick out the
plants, and with the seed extracted from
them planted another patch separately.
When the crop was ready for picking the
male plants were again selected and the
production of seeds planted separately
again. This process ofselecting the male
plants was kept up until at last the lint
refused to germinate and nothing is left
in the bolls save large amount of seed.
The amount of seed contained in the boil
is more than equal to the weight of the
lint and seed found in the average sized
boil of cotton. Ferguson claims that he
can produce four hundred bushels of seed
to the acre by this new discovery, where
only thirty.five bushels are now gathered
with the lint. He has been very careful
in producing the results given above-to
obliterate all vestige of lint from boil
ofcotton-and has succeeded in most
remarkable manner. Other experienced
planters have been shown Ferguson's
new discovery and are much struck with
it.
An expert who was shown the plant
apd bolls, said the boil has the appear
ance, both on the exterior and the inte.
rior, of a regular boil of cott,u after the
lint has been picked out. The seed are
a little larger than the common seed and
are perfectly free from any semblance Of
lint. The bolls are filled with these seed,
which are as numerous as okra seed in
pod of okra. The revolution that will
be effected by this new cotton. plant, if
it can be cultivated successfully, will be
beyond calculation. If Ferguson's cal.
culations are correct, the cotton oil bust
mess will be entirely revolutionized.
The planters who now raise cotton are
fortunate if he can make 200 pounds Of
lint cotton to the acre. Counting the
value of cotton seed at $50 an acre is
considered big return to oplanters in this
State. Ferguson claims that his new
cotton seed plant will yield at least 500
an acre. This amount he says will be
obtained from 400 bushels of cotton seed
at twenty cents per bushel, that being the
present price paid for the raw seed. The
state agricultural burea will investigate
the matter..-SpeciaI to atlanta Constitu.

There is great need for textbook or
South Carolina history, as all our teach
ers know. Davidson's little book is toe
meagre and unsatisfactory, aud does not
give the information in sufficient detail,
and just at this time the examination
questions on History psrtake more and
more of the history of this State, and
rightly too, we think, but the source from
which to get this information should be
placed in reach Of both teacher and pupil.
Some years ago most admirable history
of South Carolina was written by aschol.
arly gentleman of this State and carried
to a Northern publishing house, which
declined to undertake the work on the
ground that our people were not reading
people. The house gave great praise to
the work itself, but said that it would not
pay expenses, that they would readily
undertake history of Massachusetts or
Pennsylvania, because the people of those
States would buy the book and read it,
but South Carolinians would not. To
our shame, be it said, this is too true.
How few parents in the country ever
invest dollar in the purchase of book
outside of the school. text books, and they
do this with a growl. Go into the
homes and no books will be seen scarcely
except The Bible and perhaps few
others on kindred subjects. The whole
vast world of thought and letters is a
blank to parents and to children alike.
What a pity it is so, for good books are
most valuable adjuncts to q teachers
work in the scbool. room. They are silent
teachers around the freside, and do not
expose ignorance or reprove blunders.
