27,206 Pounds fd Colton on Six Acres.
The Mode of Culture—Letter from Col.
. J}. G. Lockett.
Since the Fair we have received
several hundred letters, making inquiry
as to Col, Lockett’s mode of cultivating
cotton, by which he produced the un-
parralleled result of 18 bales to six
acres. Not being able to answer so
many inquiries by letter, we called up
on Col. Lockett for a letter for publica
tion; and now have the pleasure of pre
senting Ins system to the cotton plant
ers of the South ; and that our numer
ous inquirers may see it, we respect
fully request the entire Press of the
Cotton States to publish it.
Albany, Ga., Dec. 20, 1SG9
Col. C. W. Styles—Dear Sir: I
had prepared and planted six acres of
land in cotton this year, the result of
which (twenty-seven thousand two
hundred and six pounds of seed cotton
was intended fur the Georgia Slate
Fair.
The premium having been awarded
Jordan & Lockett for the greatest yield
on two acres, I am receiving many let
ters asking information as to the mode
ol preparation and cultivation of this
land. 1 hope, therefore, you will have
| the kindness to publish the following
for the benefit of ali wishing to know :
Tiie land was first broken with the
Wall & Knight—A. B. plow, the large
mould board attached, breaking the
land about six inches deep—Lhis was
done the latter part of January. The
land remained in this condition until
ready to be planted, which was done
on the 24th of April. The rows were
laid ofl'five feet apart with an ordinary
scooter plow following in each furrow
with a double wing shovel sixteen
inches long and eleven inches wide,
drawn by two mules. In this furrow
was distributed about one hundred and
fifty bushels of well rotted horse lot
manure, and three hundred ponnds of
John Merryrnan & Co’s ammonialed
dissolved bones,” per acre. This was
then covered with the Watt & Knight
A. B. plow, small mould board attach
ed, following in each furrow with a sub
soil plow breaking in all about fifteen
inches deep. As soon as the prepara
tion was completed the seed was plant
ed, putting one bushel per acre, with
the-Dow Law planter.
As soon as the cotton was large
enough, it was plowed with the sweep,
cutting twenty-tour inches wide, and
ove half inch deep, and was at once
chopped to a s'and, using the No 2
Schoval hoe, leaving one and two, and
sometimes three stalks—the width of
the hoe—and as near ns we could,
about ten thousand stalks per each
acre. The cotton was hoed twice and
plowed seven times using each time
the twenty-fou*' inch sweep and never
culling over one-half inch deepT It
was cultivated with twenty-one fur
rows, but equa’ y as good work could
have been done with fifteen furrows by
using a sweep a few inches wider.
I am also askeu my opinion relative
to the number of stalks that should be
left on the acre to make the greatest
yield. There is great diversity of
opinion upon this subject. My experi
ence has been that much depends upon
the variety of cotton seed planted.—
Those planting that variety of cotton
which grows large with long limbs,
will never make a large yield by leav
ing eight or ten thousand stalks on an
acre, while the prolific or short limb
cotton will do better with this number
than less.
I have endeavored to answer intelli
gibly and concisely all the questions
asked, and hope the statement may be
of benefit to those asking the informa
tion.
Below I hand you the evidence of
the yield, furnished the Committee at
the Slate Fair.
Most respectfully vours,
B. G. LOCKETT.
The land was first flushed with the
Watt & Knight 4 A B’ plow, the large
mould board attached, breaking about
six inches deep. A few (fays before
planting, the rows wore laid ofT with
the ordinary scooter plow, five feel
wide, fb|towed by a double wing shov
el plow sixteen inches long by eleven
inches wide, drawn by two mules. In
this furrow was put about one hundred
and fifty bushels horse lot manure,
and three hundred pounds John Merrv-
man & Co’s “ammonialed dissolved
bones,” per acre. We bedded upon
this with the Wait & Knight “A B”
plow, small mould attached, following
in each furrow with a subsoil plow,
breaking in all about fifteen inches deep.
On the 24th day of April it wa s
planted. The seed planted is known
as the “Hunt Variety.” This cotton
was plowed seven times with the
sweep, cutting twenty-four inches wide
and one-half inch deep, and hoed twice
after chopping. We left upon each
acre as near as possible tci^ thousand
stalks.*
Albany, Ga., Nov. 13, 1SG9.
We hereby certify that we weighed
the cotton picked from the foregoing
area of land, (six and eighty-eight
thousandths acres,) and we found the
total amount gathered to be twenty-
seven thousand two hundred and six
pounds seed cotton, one-third of which,
say nine thousand and sixty-eight and
two-thirds pounds, we weighed and
had ginned and packed, showing a re
sult of twenty-eight hundred and
eighty-four pounds lint cotton, an av
erage of fourteen hundred and twenty
and two-thirds pounds per acre.

I hereby certify that l have carefully
surveyed a parcel of land pointed out
to me by Capt. J. W. Allen, ns that
from which lie has this year gathered
27.20G pounds seed cotton, and that I
find the area of said parcel of land to
be six and eighty-eight thousandths
acres.

Lime Around Apple Trees.
We have known some farmers make
it a regular practice for a number ol
years to throw caustic lime around
their apple trees in spring and summer.
We once noticed that a tree standing
in the immediate vicinity of our dwell
ing, had all at once put forth with re
newed energy and we were at a loss
for some time to define the cause. On
examination we found that a quantity
of lime that had accidentally been spill
ed and rendered worthless by becom
ing mixed with the refuse on the stable
floor, had been thrown at the foot and
around the tree, and to this, as the
principal cause, we immediately attrib
uted the reviviscence and renewed
fructuation of the tiee.
Taking the hint from the accident
we purchased twelve casks ol lime,
and applied half a bushel to each of
the trees in our orchard, and found that
it produced immediate beneficial e fleets.
Not the health of the tress only, but the
quality of !ruit was also greatly im
proved. This application will be es
pecially beneficial to soils where there
is a redundancy of vegetable matter.
We would advise our farmers, in some
places, especially in new forest lands
recently cleared, and on low lands, to
make trial of this experiment and see
whether it is not deserving of tfie high
recommendation it secures.—Kx.
Product of Different Varieties of Cotton.
The Southern Cultivator, for Decem
ber, has the following:
Editors Southern Cultivator:—Being
satisfied that it was impossible to make,
with free labor, the quantity of cotton
we formerly did, I have been endeav
oring, for four years, lo improve the
quality, by buying the best kinds and
selecting from such stalks as have the
best staple. ‘I have planted this sea
son five distinct kinds. Two of them,
Dickson’s select and a green seed vari
ety, are short staples, and I will aban
don them after this year I enclose
you a lock of each of the others, which
will speak for themselves, as regards
the quality of the staples. No. 1 is sim
ilar in growth to Dickson’s, being short
limbed. No. 2 is the Peeler cotton,
large limbed, but short jointed. No. 3
is a black seed variety, (not sea island,)
medium length of limb and joint. The
lint from each of these is near one and
one-fourth lo one and one-half inches
long, and, as you see, very fine and
silky. I have proved, by actual exper
iment on the same land this season,
that each of these long staple cottons
are fully as productive as the deserved
ly popular Dickson, which I have plant
ed for years, and can see no reason why
they should not approach in price the
sea island, and bring twice as much as
short staples; and if so planters can in
this way make up for the faffing off in
the number of bales.
To test the yield of lint of the above
five kinds, after sunning thoroughly an
equal number of average %jzed bolls of
each, 1 carefully weighed and then
picked the lint off, and found the result
as follows;
Eighty-eight bolls of No. I weighed
one pound in seed, and 276 bolls gave
one pound lint.
Seventy-seven and a half bolls of No.
2, (Peeler,) weighed or.e in seed, and
269£ bolls gave one pound lint.
Eighty bolls of No. 3, (Black seed,)
weighed one pound in seed, and 25G
bolls gave one pound lint.
One hundred and twepty-two bolls
of Dickson, weighed one pound in seed,
and 512 bolls gave one pound lint.
Ninety-eight bolls of Green seed
weighed one pound in seed, and 39G
bolls gave one pound lint.
The avove weighings were carefully
made to a fraction of an ounce, and
shows the Dickson to be inferior to the
others in size of bolls, and very much
so in yield of lint. I consider the Peel
er the best of tirc five kinds, a3 it is
moie productive, earlier, (l have al
ready gathered seven hundred pounds
from each of several measured acres up
to the loth of September) the bolls ;
larger and the yield of lint only short
of the Black Seed* This and No 1 I
will try another season.
To the above might be added what i
is known in this region as upland long j
staple, which averages with the right;
kind of cultivation, a pound of seed cot- |
ton to seventy bolls and a pound of lint I
lo 210. But then that cotton was rna-1
nured and cultivated in the right way. I
