This is a work that mntiy farmers think should be dono "in n hurry" and with the smallest expenditure of labor. It is all very veil to perform a {riven job in {rood style with the least labor, but it is well to consider that, by taking a little more time and expending a little more | labor and care at planting, mncli future work may 1>? saved. The lirst requisite to securing a good stand and subsequent good yield is good, sound, carefuflv-seloctcd planting seed of an improved kind of cotton. There is n<^ great difference in the productiveness of the different, varieties offered for sale. Their chief general inert, consists in and depends upon the fact that the seed have been selected with more or less care for a number of years. f armers often plant seed that appear to be sound and "nil right," but on account of imperfect development or | partial heating, it is found that the' vitality of many of the germs is either originally defective or it has been impaired. The result is a poor stand of feeble, dying plants. Secure seed of good selection, even if no more than enough to plant a small hold from which to save seed next fall, and test the vitality of any that may be doubtful by planting early a few handful in a warm, sun y uaijudiiiv in inu i^iiruun, or in a hot-bod. If sound and goo 1 ninety per cent, of tlieui should make vigorous, healthy plants. Th expediency of planting in hills or cheeks depends on the quality of the seed, the fixed and uniform productiveness of the individual plants, and the natural or added fertility of the soil. The very largest yields o:i small areas have generally been from planting and cultivating in hills from seed that were carefully selected with reference to symmetrical development and productiveness. By this careful selection the plants have ^ become individualized, so that the single stalk that may be left in a hill may be counted on to make a large yield?the maximum that may be reasonably expected from the aroa appropriated to its use. The hill system requires not more than onefourth as many seed, which, therefore, may be the more select and costly; it requires more labor in tImplanting, but less in the subsequent culture. It is admitted that greater cure in the planting and early cultivation will be necessary in order to secure and maintain a perfect stand, but it * is very probable that such increased care will vifore than rnpaid by the ease of subsequent cultivation and the improved quality and quantity of the product.?Southern Cultivator. "Weather Minis For April. We have had no occasion, up to date March 22, to question the correctness of the weather predictions of Itev. Itl H. Ilicks, of St. Louis, Mo., which have appearad in each issue of The Southern (htllinator during tlie present year. We have not endorsed, nor do we now endorse in advance, his predictions; we simply give thorn to our readers for what they aro worth; and so far as we are personally concerned they are worth much in the light of the past, which shows that for thirteen months ho has made no mistake of any importance. For April ho makes these predictions: A disturbing astronomical cause > ?\ttti rrnM lTir si ?* i 11?t f w *1111 nnivi. From the 11th to 17th of April showers will abound, with a heavy storm possible during "danger days."- The heaviest storms of the month may be certainly expected during the period beginning about the 22d and ending tho 28th. Kxpect the phenomena to vary in e v.racier, according to the general progress of the seas*.'., >f from South to North. \ 11 storms, of whatever character, at this lime will be hard. Make a note of this. Frost will follow. AVe. The predictions of Kov. Mr. Hicks are confined simply to "storm periods;" he does not deal in fair weather, as will be seen bv reference to his monthlv publication, 1 'ml *11 ?'"/vt, which we elul > with 7'/ii t 'nf fira/or at #1.50 for liotli. 11o predicts storm currents, and 1?v liis prodictions the people are put on their jniard to watch for the approach of destructive storms, cyclones, etc. Blizzards at the West and North and tropical storms at the South have been quite severe this year, and according to his forecasts we are to have plenty more. Also, we are to keep a sharp look out for an occasional heavy frost. In his March predictions Kov. Mr. Nicks says: "About the 8th a storm pc riod of marked energy and violence will beoin, lasting until about the. 18th. Heavy snow'all over the North, turniiin in destructive sleet. Main and general tropical storms I southward.How terribly these predictions \ver< realized can be seen by reference to the daily journals of March 18th, in which are detailed the particulars of on" < f the most deptructivo snow, sleet and rain storms over known iu New York, by which the entire trallic and transiiortation business of that peent city was suspended. In Washington, Haltimore, Boston and other cities was quite a? bad. It swept the country, with moro or less severity, from I >ela I ivuro /.i* \li?i in* Later on wo have this prediction for March: "About the Hlth prepare for next danger period; it will last from the 10th to j{?4th or 25th. During the.se "Vernal Equinoctial periods, aggravated by t'ne growing .lovian Period, unusual activity inav / ? be expected in Meteorological phenoinonii." How fearfully this prediction was carried out the peoplo of Georgia need not to bo told, us the terrible cyclones and thunder storms of the HHh, 20th and 21st are fresh in their memories. I'p to tins period many of our friends had been somewhat skeptical of the predictions of Kov. Mr. Hicks, but we had watched him carefully for a whole year (in which ho made no failure) before wo published a single word in regard to his Storm Chart. With his consent we beirnn Us nnblioO i<n? ! < il... I.?>> -- r> I uary Cultivator, and while many <>f our exchanges have copied from us and given due credit, not a few have entirely ignored this plain duty. As the Chart is copyrighted and published hy us under special arrangement with the author, wo think 7'Ac Southern Cultivator fairly entitled to proper credit. We fully tested the predictions of 1887 before using those of 1888.~Aul believe we have done our readi t and the general public great service thereby.? /Southern Cultivator. * Act and Joint Resolutions of the Session of 1NN7.
