The Sea Islands.
,V'e learn that many of thI most
viltiable coast and sea island planta- t
tions will next season be devoted to ~
the growth of the finer kinds of upland i
cotton.
The planters who are the prime
movers in this revolution believe tha
they can make the oultivation of ip.
land cotton exceedingly profitable. In
the flrst f1tl it matures more rapid.
ly than the sea island. This will
lessen the danger of inj,ery by the .
caterpillar. O. a plantation on one y
of the islands a field of long cotton. t
was planted on April 15.h, and t ,
feld of upland two weeks later. Buh L
fields were "eaten out" by the cater
pillar. One lfafi to the acre has al. t
re'ady been picked from the field of d
upland cotton. The long cotton will L
not yield more than fifty pounds to ,
the acre. Taking the price of the d
uplands at twenty-five cents and of 1
the sea islands at seventy-five cents, .
the short cotton will return at least ti
$100 an acre, and the lone .6tton only a
$37 50 an acre. The gain 16rb is in' ;
the great rapidity with which the ti
short cotton reaches maturity in the t,
rich lands of the coast. Omitting t1
the caterpillar altogether, the compa- f,
rison is nearly as favorable. Of long 81
cotton the average yield is about one o
hundred pounds to the are, and of ti
short cotton, on the sea islands, the o
yield is expected to be six hundred f,
pounds to the acre. At the 'prices
before mentioned, the long cotton a
would produce in money $75 an acre, w
and the short cotton $150 an acre. I
There is also the additional advanta aly
that with the same labor one'td ic
more short cotton than loffg 6 #t.n o
can be thoroughly cultivated. This al
alone will make an important differ- ti
ence in favor of short cotton.
In turning their attention to upland
cotton the old planters cout m i t 4
ing more money to the crt ian by li
continuing the growth of sea islands. a
They will be ble to bring in their r
staple ab'out September 1', and wilt
take the very cream' of tlfe' fri'os.
Besides this, they will have the c r
tainty of selling their cotton at any
moment. By dropping a quarter or a d
bal Dent they can always fnd a pair- c
ilesfr,' whatever the stato d the mar- n
ket. e
This' i's, we* belYeve;' friodLr'd

accomplished by the change of oulti- 'k
vation in t ie long oottpp rg ign. "t be t.
