A correspondent from Augusta,
Ca, asks us the following:
"There has been for a long time
theory among old, if not intelli-
gent, farmers that cotton does not
grow at night, but rather, as they
express it, goes to sleep. Will you
kindly give me your information
or knowledge in the matter?"
,.Te have been familiar all of
our life, through practical ex-
perience, with the habit and growth
of The cotton plant, but we confess
that we have never heard the
theory adanced that it acted in any
way different from other plants in
not growing at night From oul
observation we would say that
cotton gives as much evidence OF
having grown during the night as
corn or any other plant. We rather
think the idea that it sleeps is one
