SEA ISLAND COTTON.
It Requires a Moist, Warm Soia aud
ThrIres Best Near Salt Water.

IL Requires Moist, Warm Soi2 and
ThrIves Best Near Salt Water.
Sea island cotton, which is used in
the manufacture of threads and fine
goods, being frequently mixed with silk,
was the cornerstone of the vast wealth
of the slayeholding barons of the ante
bellum days i'll Carolina, and grew on
land that frequently sold at $500 per
acre. Tho cotton is described by its
name. 1t grow TO perfection only on the
Sea islands, where it would be constantly
subjected to the salt air of tho Atlantic
ocean. To plant it in the interior meant
Immediate deterioration. The Charles
ton quotations last year ranged from 20
to 40 cents per pound.
The foregoing is an extract from ono
of several communications Oh sea island
cotton published in tho Texas Farm and
Ranch. The writer, native of the
South Carolina coast, where the bulk of
this fine cotton is grown, expresses the
belief that it will thrive on tho Texas
coast He also tells that tho bolls arc
smaller than with tho common cotton,
but the plant is much larger and has q
greater number. They are also moro
difficult to pick. Tho cotton can only be
handled on the roller gin.
Another correspondent writes as fol-
lows: "Sca island cotton cannot DO
grown except under tho influence of salt
water. 1t is not ginncd by a saw gin,
but by strong hairbrushes that draw
the fine lint out without cutting it. Tho
gins are made especially for this cotton
and the long staple cotton of the low
country of South Carolina, Georgia and
! Florida, which is n medium between
orr upland cotton and sea island.
, While the sea island cotton sells for
about ten times as much and the long
staple for four times as much as our up
land cotton, the yield is so much smaller
that the profit is not in proportion to the
price
One Texas farmer wrote that any land
along the Texas coast that is fit for agri-
culture purposes will produce this cot
ton and referred to the stalk of sea is
land cotton exhibited ut tho Dallas fair,
s feet high, that grew in an old castotf
field without cultivation. A second
Texas correspondent told that this cot
ton is liable to mix with other cotton
and deteriorate. To guard against this
danger the best and most successful
growers are located on islands several
miles at sea along the Atlantic and 9th
or coasts. This cotton is we'll adapted
to the moist, fine goa sand that composcS
these islands. Everybody testified to
the fact that the saw gin is not adapted
to sea island cotton.

ing moro easily and enabling the mass
of soil which holds the plant to slide of
readily.
This hoo may also be used in making
the holes which are to receive the plants
more rapidly and of the right shape be-
fore the plants arc taken up. In remov-
ing plants this way with adhering earth
some caution is required, says Country
Gentleman, that the soil will be neither
too wet nor too dry. If too wet, the
common error is committed of pressing
tho earth into n compact mass, which
hardcns rs it dries and prevents the
plant from growing freely or badly
stunts it. If too dry, the soil will crum-
bic off unless great care is used Press
lightly therefore when the soil is wet
or wait till it becomes partly dried
This way Of transplanting may be used
for many young garden vegetables if
tho right size is chosen and for the
summer setting of strawberry plants.

Mexican Cotton.

Mexico bids fair to become a formid-
able competitor in cotton growing.
Large quantities Of cotton seed from
Louisiana have been planted. Last year
in some Of tho states the cotton acreage
was increased fourfold. In tho low
lands, whore frost does not come, the
cotton plant becomes perennial shrub
which bears every season. 1t is Believed
that cotton can be grown at profit in
some parts Of Mexico at 9 cents pound.
1t remains to be seen whether Mexican
cotton will be as good quality as that
grown in our southern states. 1t is the
poor quality of tropical grown cotton
that has given the American product its
advantage over the cotton produced in
India. -Alnerican Cultiyator.
