Mr Editor:?1 am rusticating ! on one of the finest farms in Chester county near where south fork flows into fishing creek. 1 am reading, sleeping, fishing, 1 hunting squirrels < which are abundant) eating blackberry and apple , pies, drinking line country water and butter milk, and feasting my eyes on the beautiful crops growing on these fertile black waxy sandy soils. Ruin hus been for the last week abundant and the crops are especially tine. My sou-in-law, witW wluitu I am afop hum two exceptionally line fields, one of ten acres of up laud corn planted about the last of ! March and another of fifteen acres I of cotton, and could I fully dej scribe the fields totwo you, you would be almost tempted to doubt my veracity.The corn was manured with cotton seed and well worked, is tasseling and looks like fine river bottoms. The field of cotton 1 speak of, well, is just fine, and don't you forgot it. I moas ured some yesterday nearly half thigh high and the entire field is as near an average as 1 ever saw' in a field of its size. The land is a black, stickey soil when wet but ash. bank like when dry and a man can plow or hoe a third more in aj dny than those rough lands around Lancaster. The big hearted land | lord, Mr Cloud Hicklin, says that the crop on those fields are as j tine as he e"cr saw at this season and says that the cotton field will make a bale to the acre. The other portion of the farm is very I fine, especially the bottom corn i which was planted the middle of May, and is growing very rapidly I ??* ?--! ? " * - '
