SEA ISLAND COTTON.


have recently had some correspondence
with II. ID. Taylor & Sons of Houston.
through Mr.. Julian Robertson, formerly
Of this place IN regard TO sea island cot
ton. My Information, condensed in as
few words AS possible, is;
1. That this cotton soils for about two
and half times as much as the kind now
raised In this section.
. That the plant is more hardy. the cul-
tivation the same, and the yield equal to
the short staple.
g. That the extra care required in pick
Ing increases the cose to about 81 per
hundred.
4. That II must be gnned on roller
gin and packed IN smaller and better pro-
tected bales-thus Increasing the cost OF
ginning TO 81 per hundred, lint.
5. That seed can be had for about 81
(perhaps less) per bushel.
| have IA sample OF the cotton grown In
Montgomery county. Texas. now at my
office; also few about what would be
contained In one bolD seed with the lint
on them. both of which / will be glad TO
show ary one interested.
Now. OF course the cultivation Of tho
long staple cotton here would be somewhat
of an experiment, but II seems to me that
II the planters In this vicinity would plant
say from Ave 20 twenty acres each, or
enough OF them to make In the aggregate
say 800 acres, that It would he an exceed
ingly thorough test of the practicabiity
OF its cultivation. This plan would sub
init II 10 the test Of various evils as
well as methods OF guilty alton. and at the
same time partial, success. or even com
pietc failure, would injure no one seri-
ously; while. If the results should prove
satisfactory. 1t would be quite an addition
to the resources OF our farmers. III there
is anything good going l think we need
IT,
1t seems TO me that small farmers who
pick and handle their own cotton should
be particularly interested in this cotton, as

HOT WINDS.

Wherever drouths occur hot winds are
experienced. varying in different localities
from heated puff of moving air 10 the
steady blow OF a continuous hot wind.
These hot winds occur south eastward
OF the low Or storm center and the wind
usually blows from westward because the
wind blows around the center of the low,
contrary to the movement Of the hands
OF a watch when the latter is placed face
upward.
a number OF causes take part In FORM
ing these crop destroying hot Winds and
The FIRST cause ia lack OF moisture in
the soil. A very dry atmosphere more
rapidly evaporates the moisture from and
kills vegetation and go long as there Is
a su.hciency OF moisture IN the soil the
air can not become dry. The hot Winds
never get hot enough 10 kill vegetation
when there is suniciency of moisture IN the
atmosphere.
From the above IA ,ts II may readily
be seen that the remedy for drouth and
for hot winds must be found in supplying
the soil with moisture. because II the
air can not be supplied with moisture
from the soil, lakes. rivers, etc. II will
take the moisture out of vegetation and
destroy II.
An investigation of this subject by the
Kansas State board OF agriculture in 1891

which Ia tho very important one that hot
