Gnan} on. Gray Lands and Bnst in 0l8uOatto. I see in the Rural Carolinian, for 1372, an article from Br. I^haleibn,'which, contains several mis takes* I would not notice them if they were' not injurious to the planting in Jprest. I am Dr. Pendleton's friend, and he is mine. fajphot con<jfcr witb hira in regard to guano not succeeding on gray ianas. Gray lknd is good for cotton, and suita ble for_ guano if it has. a clay founda tion.

Pendleton is mistaken about my evcj? consulting a eheraist in regard to myt compound, or salt aud plaster, or anything else; though. I know and appreciate the value of chemistry, and the^Sciences generally, to the world. Th^jr are accomplishing wonders. He is afeo mistaken about muriate of potash beta* a ttiiiure. wai as *11 'tor tenants will bear witness, as wel?aa ah others who have seen my . : It; is remarkable how two men, G. xm in-.1 France, and myself here, nhniprnjjTrr rn nearly about a complete wanjSS^: ?aeb being ignorant of the otho?L experiments.

I have always contended that rust is , causeii by -nothing but poverty of soil, - and my- practice has fully proved it \ The first*ba3ly rusted cotton I ever saWj - was about fiftyior fifty-seven years ago. Now cultivating the same plat 1 with ce*ptete% sawiew, "milking from < 2.000^^,000 lbs. seed cotton per acre, j The rust question.is ofj;he firs* ira- f portance to the cotton plftatere, and I , say it is caused by poverty of soil, in i various ways, but still it is poverty. < CauMsx 1st Leacking of land.by it be? j ing springy and by being porous, and , heav^ raj^^sin^ing.alKwluble matter . below* tke ' rootf 'df the cotton plant I 2.

In'the iirop of one of my tenants, in 1871, tjiepe was a wptpart in oa&of his patches that* #ot '.very* grassy. He ploughed b&fc-fialfotfer, with a sweep, and it took on bolls Inely, but got over taxed and became rusted, but still made a fair crop. On the other half he took a turning plough and went in deep/ throwing the dirt all in the middle, and causirTg the cotton to throw off what bolls it had then made; and'it failed to set any for a good while. After the plant recovered it grew finely and com-1 inenced to take on bolls, and am not rust bat made nothing, frost killing all. That ploughing was the last, except a middle sweep furrow. A heavy load of bolls early, will make cotton rust on thin sandy laud from exhaustion, if not well sustained with a good fertilizing compound. Lasti.^ear^ on the top of a sand hill, one of'my tenants left out about twenty rows jy-j^out manure. He stopped ploughing about the twentieth of July. The manured rows shaded the ground, kept do^flthe*crow-foot grasB and did ?i i-: ? _ 1 HAA 1 9.0A cpmI Weil, UlU&llig IjVVV IV A ^MVV wv>* ? per acre. The rows unmanured were overrun with ?he .grass rusted, and did not make at fed "rate of 100 lbs. per ?UI5? acre. Two years ago, one of my tenants had a cow-pen pi tbe middle of one of my fields, in which cotton rusted badly when. not properly manured. The next year planted in cotton. That where the cow-pen was did not rust, and made a fine crop. ' , The grea*. remedies for rust are the spade, clay scattered over, rotation of crops, rest, and heavy manuring.

SotJTHERN CULTIVATOR.? If yott have i$om for* an axlicle out orifta proger season, I woold like to "in tervie^ ' Mid$$^Gedrgia, "Alabama, <fec.; wha-i&eiri'.to- know.not howr to get a' stai\cN>f '^ottdn. ^oan -.give them snmft.'- " nrinninlflR (tf nw own practice py which I havs neve^lhiled in-a Ibi^ course of planting, to obtain a perfect stond, of cotton; and! liaye no recollection of ever having failing or having to plant over one of jootton I . have ^eeo plantiog on > 03^ own ac count. And the principle I wish to inculcate is, never to aim to "bring up" a stand of cotton, liut let it come up of itself naturally. Cotton ought to come up in its season as naturally us a cuckle btlr, which is sure to come up in good stand and grow fine, and thrifty, on Mis sissippi or Red river bottom lands, if let alone. But If I wish to use any art or-"high cuhufe*' m cottbn,I aim as much as possible to assist a natural, aperation of vegetation. In the first place I thoroughly* pre pare the land by breaking up., as early md as deep as possible. an& thpeubefore planting, re-break or re-bed again, on ihe first ridge?-throwing up as high, a 'bed" as possible, and then pulverize by running harrows onthe top "pf the ridges, which ought, to be perfectly loose en+V 'Titan rtnpn a. ..frpnr4i wit.Vi a. joulter and block. four, inches -wide, rounded on the under sides, running two inches deep, which leaves a round, smooth trench-the length 'of the ^ow. The seed are sowed by hand as thick as they can lie without wadding in the bot tom . of this four inch trench, and at Least a foot on each side. I'-wouH not give one cent for a King or Dow Law Cotton planter merely to save time for free negroes working on shares, to throw away fishing and hunting, when the work-oan- be even as- weli," if not DStter ione by hand. .?I then cover with an Iron Toothed Harrow,'the1 teeth sharpe, and' stirring (he gtound as deep as the seed, thoroqghly mixing them to-, the depth of. the trench, with the earth, and leveliiik down' to . one inch-deep. I would not liave cotton to come through more than one inch of earth, as it is not strong and vigorous if it does?the proper depth is the thickness of the seed imbedded in the ground. I gen 2rally have a stand all over the bed, that in the furrow and on each side, all vegetates after the first good rain. The best rule is to sow the seed down early though to come up in time for a stand whether covered or not?say from March 20th to April 10th, which is as late as I would plant cotton on or be low 32 degrees N. My rule for plant ing is 20th March and have never had i stai^d killed by frost yet?though some fcrmes partially killed out, thsre is ilways enough left and still coming up So make a stand, and although early cptton does not grow off as thrifty as Utor rJnntpH it. is sure to bear better. I > : . and mature earlier. But if you work freemen, and more particularly on the share system, it is much more difficult to save a stand of cotton than to get it up. J always commence on a bold stand at the beginning, from four to tweh e inches wijle^and Lshave it off to three inches wide in drill, and direct them to leave it 6 inches apart in the drill or as close as the hoes passing through will admit. (Five, and a, half feet is the proper distance for any land capable of producing a bale of cotton per acre). I direct them to chop out leaving from two to four stalks in the hill as most convenient?a good hand can chop out to two stalks nearly ovprv stroke of the hoe. Mv orders are, not leave less than one nor more than four stalks in each hill, but they sure to get it spread to at least twelve inches apart or wider the first going over. The next two workings ought to be in rapid succession, and not over >15 days apart the whole season through The second hoeing I leave two stalks in eich hill and a double stand of hills?' the third working I reduce it to one stalk, still leaving the hills twelve inches apart?if I am so fortuate as to'have them; the fourth working if the hills are too close I chop out every alternate hill, or every second hill or third, as the object is to have it as thick as you can, not to be too much crowded, but'by..the fourth working I more often fipd^it too. thin than too thick in the hill, and vacant spaces tea feet wide or more where first thereWis a perfect stand. Two plants in the hill will not crowd before third working,.and often one may be irritK "onra eViina" nr Vni/lrJpH CUC\/O^U VT 11/11 UU'UU V* vM^rv?y~ and forked when you can save the per fect stalk, and a 'double stand of one stalk in a hill, will not crowd, too much before the {owtLgaing oveiy when you can choose again the best stalks. As to.: the cultivation, I would always plough deep^and^ thoroughly - the first two ploughings. before the rootlet out too long to'oe in the way, and leave a fresh, deep tilfh for them to feed-in? then shallow cultivation as late as possible.?r<8cw#em- Oultivator. ii is declared $v&n-Tiidratja edtyor who'^an't Sf&ncf ft any longer," that the only difference between the en trance to a barn amf a loutiger around newspaper offices ifC that the first is a barn door and the latter a darn'bora xoiTAu A.
