Well, for the dwarf kinds one pint of'seVd,' to from fifty to :iixty feet of double row. Of the large growing kinds n pint cf seed should plant from cjghty to one hundred feet of double row.

The ])inc straw, cotton seed,and stable manure,] hnnledcJu! in January, and strewed broadcast, over tlip land, then turned uii.br with a IwodiOi o plbugli, breaking eight, inebcf (loop. ,Then with a sixteen itn 'i, ;-(?( ( !( i- nn, ;n jj,e (uo. horse furrow, bri akii g from five to seven jiicTtesirt :Tn v. !.-?!. ffiirli ? >; In'.'\U , n 'niches deep.

Then I chocked offmy rows three feet euch why] with a small hull-tongue plough, and oh ilho 13th day of May, I planted my cot ton seed in the hill, or eight seed, dropped by hantl, und covered with the foot; the seed when covered L>eihg,on u level, The seed were the ''Cluster Cotton'? variety. I purchased them froih David Dickson, Esq., Qxford, Ga.j to whom I must coiifoss I am mdahtcd for iny success, to a certain extent. The scod I am confident, were hall'the battle. The cotton was thinned to one stalk to the hill in Juno, with the expectation of the outside rows', in which I left two stalks. Then I ploughed with j: twenty-four inch sweep, "Diekson's," very shallow^ one furrow to the row, and about eight day.; aftcrxYtti'ds J repeated I he -mine, running one furrttw to.the row,: just scraping the earth enough to destroy 4ho young-weed-; and grjjKfjj Did-l'-?l^l1 f. a hoe in it, in order to avoid skinning the cotton; in fact, had no use for nijy, as the cotton grew so fast the shade thereof pre vented all vegetation from growing under neath.
