Public opinion is much divided as ret* -pects the pai tic uUu* nature of the cause of tiie rot j some contend, that it it a disease incident to the Cotton Plant from long cul tivation } while others on the contrary ar* gue, that it is an insect which wounds the bowl and thereby produces the disease. The advocates for the latter theory con* tend 1st. That the cotton bowl exhibits in the incipient stage of the rotfevident marks -of a punctured wound, which is quickly surrounded by e transparent discoloration extending from the centre of Injury. 2d.' That the rot makes its first appearance ex* teraally in the outer coats of the bowl. 3d. Were it not an insect which produces . the rot, the disease would appear uniformly throughout the bowl at the same time* 4th. That uncommon insects have been found in cotton fields, with billa evidently adapted for puncturing. Mh, That the rot was, never seen in this State until after the introduction of cotton seed from the West* ern country, where the disease had prevail* ed many years previous. 6th. That it is a known fket, that insects will attach tbeir Ovaria to the Seed of plants, and prop** gate by such means their particular species from year to year. , 7th. That it is com* mon for all vegetates, more or lest, to have insects to prey upon them injuriously. 8th. W ere it not an insect which occasions the rot, the disease must have made its ap pearance long before it sctually did. And 9th. That the partial as well as entire de structive effects of the rot in cotton fields under eoual circumstances, prove the cauio attributable to insects. On the contrary the advocates for the former theory argue 1st. That the ve,*?fo* blo kingdom is equally liable to disease t\s the animal. 2d. Bad and improper culti vation will occasion depression of vegefa hies, ttfore especially exotica* 3d. That luxuriaacy of growth favors the increase ff the rot. 4th. Were it insects which pro duce the rot, the disease could not have appearo<Uo uniformly throughout the State at theaanfcTitnei for Insects require time to migrate any distance. 5th. Were St in sects that produce the rot, some human eye before this must have dctettfcd the noxious assailanta in their particular a< ts of depredation on the cotton bowl. And ?th. J stop th* circulation of the sap in the plant by bretking the sulk or branches and the disease ceases. Both the abafre theories appear excep tionable on many points. On the latter theory, ! will remark, that the ert if self of the culture of cotton has much improved within fifteen years peat, without any cor- . respondent improvement in the staple of the plant 1 nave heard many experien ced Planters say, that they cannot make ss much cotton per acre as formerly. This has been erroneoualy ascribed to change of climatic f but the tine facts are, most plan* ters have exhausted their best cotton laikls, and are now ;n the habit of planting too largely to the hand. Planting half the Quantity per hand) working and manuring doubly as much, 1 venture to say, that tads in general would soon produce . equal' to What they ever did (the rot excepted.) > To the exhaustlnn of lands, and the forc ed extension of the culture of cotton, have been attributed the rot. In several instan ces I have witnessed en equal degree^# at tention to the culture of cotton, that cJver was bestowed, and prehaps rather n ? rater, huvstlll, the rot made its appearance, hot withstanding, the visfcle improvement in the growth and staple of the plant. A neighbor of mine selected Ms cotton seed in a most particular manner, and for two years past planted of the same seed choice well manured land, detached from any other cotton field ; but the rot has ap peared each yea* with unabated violence, if great attention to working, manuring and selecting sound s?rd will not prevent ? the tot, but will at the same time improve the growth and staple of cotton materially, it must be appeed,that no depreciation hss taken place m the plant. Luxuriancy of growth has been f|*ign ed *? the cause of the ro hut the absur dity of this argument is too visib'e to need much Confutation. It is ^ well known fact, that small cotton on exhausted land is attacked by the rot, as well as large on st rone soils. Cotton of luxuriant growth is said to be most liable to tale the rot; owing to this ciicumstat.cc, luxuriancy has been assigned as the cause of the disease. 1 will here ssk, what is the reason the ret did not appear fifteen years a^o, rltcn Planters in general had better lands, nd cptton in general grew more luxuriant 1 have heard it said, the reason luxuriant cotton is most subject to the rot is, that il ?
