The rot lias made lis a ( pea ranee in our cotton at ati unusually e*rly period ? a circumstance that has in duced an opinion among our planters that it will be move destructive to the present crop, than to any former one, since its first appearance among us. Iu a country where the soil at.u cli mate are so eminently adapted to the culture of cotton, and on which al most the whole force of the agricul turalist is employed, it is a subject ot regret that so few experiments have been made by our pmctical planters, to ascertain the causes of this alarming ami destructive disease* 'I he rot made its appearance in Ivdia about the middle of the last century, and such were its destructive effects that whole fields were destroyed without scarcely a solitary I mwf re maining uninjured. Although there are various hypothesis in the country respecting thecauses of it, yet none of them, it -fs believed, have "been brought tu satisfactory results.-? Among the' most jwpular opinions rt?8|)ecung this disease, is one which^ supposes that it is produced by the intense heat of the sun's rays acting on the cotton bowl, uutil the sap be comes so hot as to destroy the vege tating principle, ami that fermenta tion and decomposition follow ; and another, which supposes it to be pro* duced by continual rains, or an ex tremely huuiid atmosphere. Bit it is lielieve that neither of the abovn hypothesis have any foundation in fact. As to the first, it will be ascertained Irom the ttrtetest observation, that the cotton bovls which grow partial ly, or entirely, in the shade, sit quite as much affected by tlie disease us those constantly exposed to the sun's rays; aud as to tlie second, it may be remarked, that in the sum mer of 1817 we had constant and continual rains, aiid that in 1818, while one part of the Territory suf fered severely from a drought, in tbt other part the rain was abundant, and yet in both these years (be rot, ? in every sectiini of the country, was pretty gcuerol und equal. It might be further remarked, that if the dis ease be produced by tlie heat of the sun's rays, why is not the bowl al ways or generally most affected on the side roost exposed to the eun ? If it be the result of continual rains, why is not every part tiff the bowl equally aflected ? A third hypothesis, and which 1 think is entitled to great consideration, in, that the rot is oo casioned by a small worm or bug* * This hypothesis is not only strength ened by the improbability of the two firat, but from the circumstance that In almost etfery instance, a small hole ia found near the centre of the affec ted bowl. But whether this insect penetrutes the bowl from the outside, or the e^g is deposited in the bios* som, fas is the case with the worn , found in the apple and cherry,) are Suestions which aire yet to be solved* t is supposed by some that the in sect possesses a peculiarly poisonous atjig or bill with which ue merely punctures the outside of tlie bowl.? Will not a puncture with a pin or needle produce the saute effects ? This article is not written with a view of pointing out tlie causes of the disease in cotton, but for the pur pose of excidng a spirit of inquiry. As the present is a very favorable time to make exjieriments and re searches, it is hoped our practical Raiders will prosecute the inquiry with a spirit couitnensurate with the ?inportance of ttae subject. , [ CINCINNATI/?,
