Not less than SO per cent of the
cotton of York county has been
and is being replanted, and it is
probable that before the crop is
well on it's way the replanting
will reach rs per cent. 1t is the
same story for all parts of the
county and from all kinds Of
land, red, mulatto, sandy and
blackjack. Where the cotton was
planted during the first two
weeks of April it has been doing
no good. Some of it broke
through the top surface, some Of
it sprouted and curled up under
the surface without breaking
through and some of it came up
and died. 1t is the common

come to stand, but nevertheless
there was large crop that year.
