LoGUE's INVENTION.

The following Is taken from the
Commercial-Herald. 1t is said a
planter near vicksburg tried it this
year, and claims to have made bale
TO the acre. with one-third Of the or
binary cultivation,
Mr.. f. Nj. Logue. who invented
the best cotton tie ever made, has
smother invention which be prizes
equally as high. He has invented {.
new method Of cultiyating cotton,
and the implements with which to DO
II. By this new method he claims
that cotton can be more cheaply cal-
tiysted in Bermuda grass, than If
clear OF it, and taat the cost OF cul-
tiyation is re laced away below fifty
psr cent. of the old method. He
has now tried his method 'and imple-
mcnts tuo years, and he is so san
quine OF success. that he intends to
organize q company to make the i'm
Elements, and cultivate at least TWEEN
ty scres this year by the new meth
cd. Mr.. Albert Newman, OF fazoo
comfy, one of our best farmers. says
that be will buy set of the machinery,
for he is convinced that Mr. Logue
has made an invention that will re-
duce the cost II cotton cultivation
more than half, and retrieve all the
Bermuda lands, now considered al
most worthless for cultivation.
We have often described Mr..
Locue's method. bat as many have
not understood it, We will describe
it aealn. The first operation is one
Ifurrow made by pillow for the pur-
pose which cleans off a sufficient
portion Of the Bermuda sod to plant
the seed. After the csttonis brought
TO a stand there is another pillow
which shs YES the Bermuda on eacf
side of the row at one time, the gras:
cut OF forming a mnlching for tbs
plant. which causes it to grow OF
nicely. The remainder of the culti'
walton is by horse moving machine
which mows row each trip. that i
the middle. The Bermuda sod il
never plowed up in the middle, bu
is simply moved as often as required
By tits method, the cotton grow!
rapidly in either wet or dry season
as the Bermuda retains q regula
moisture.
We certainly think that the meth
cd merits the test Mr.. Logue intends
giving it this year. All farmers ca'
/ see that if they can make cotton il
Bermuda sod by simply moving tn
middle once a week with hors
moving machine, the expense vii
be trining compared to the eterna
! blowing plan.

did as follows:
aMr. Chairman, / do not think

trust in nothing of lukewarm
character, bat finding myself in lire

have no use for such trifing with
party principles, believing in white
supremacy aud the survival of the
fittest.

upon for a speech, said: 81 have
