Since writing the "Cotton Article"
last week we learn that the Pacolct
Management uses sixty-lvc thousand
bales annually instead Of thirty thous-
and bales aud the Clifton Management
fifty thousand bales instead of thirty
thousand. We are glad to make these
corrections. Thus we find the mills
represented at Prosperity this season
use one hundred and fifty nine thous-
and bales. We repeat, this should
make Prosperity Il first class cotton
market.

A great deal of late has been said

| lowing trusting it will be OF interest to
| the planters.
| THE BANNER CORN FIELD-IT IS a
PATCH OF 5000 ACRES IN ILLINOIS
AND WILL PRODUCE 100000
BUSHELS.
| (From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
South Of Ava, in Southern Illinois,
| from the brow OF one Of the Kinkaid
! hills, can be seen the most magnificent
| field OF corn upon which the white
mans vision has rested since the time
the Pilgrims landed and learned to
know the merits Of maize in hasty pud-
ding. The September sun is putting
the golden color upon 5000 acres of
corn in one great body. This is the
banner cOrnficld Of the world. 1t will
! give 100000 bushels of corn, an ave-
rage Of 100 bushels to the acre. The
statement will be questioned. And the
| people who know most about corn out
side OF the American Bottom will be
the first to challenge. Even the
Egyptians of Illinois look askant at
such a claim. But those who have
seen the extraordinary spectacle agree
that nowhere in the world is there such
q crop of corn maturing on the Same
ground space.
