agriculture.
From an essay in the American Farmer on (
the Cuj.tukk of Cotton we have made j
the fallowing extracts, supposing they
might furnish useful information to some |
who have been long engaged in the cultiva
tion of this valuable staple :
Seed. —An opinion is expressed in the],
Am rican Fanner, vol. 3, page 237', that the j
rot is propagated by flic seed, and that it!
may be avoided by selecting seed from plants j
not affected. This I think is an error.
first year 1 planted a crop ol any extent, (fori
I have cultivated it in the small way ever
since I have been a farmer,) I procured the
seed from agin about 25 miles distant from j
my farm, and in a neighborhood, every crop; (
of which was affected with the rot. My first! (
crop, in 1822, entirely escaped it. I
think that one single pud was rotted. The 1 ,
crop of 1823 was, in some places, almost en
tirely destroyed ; —the crop of 1824, less af
fected. Fro,n these facts, 1 cannot believe '
that the rot. is propagated by the seed. An (
opinion prevails in North Carolina ; that (
the rot proceeds from defective seed, which,
wh • \ planted fresh or new, will vegetate,,
and that by keeping the seed to be one or
more years old, these seed lose their vege
tating principle, and that none dime up
but such as are perfectly sound. Ily this
means they obtain vigorous plants, and
think their crops less affected with the rot
than they were before this practice was
commenced. The result of this practice
is as yet uncertain ; it appears plausible,
and deserves experiment. Certainly the
more s mi.i I the seed, is in all other crops,
the belter.
Mode of Planting. —Tlie preparation of
the land and Ihe mode of planting varies (
much in different neighborhoods. Some bed (
upon the old bed, after first splitting it o j
pen with a large trowel hoe—some Hush |
their lauds, and then bed it up by one or
two cuts of a mould board plough on each |
side—mini cross these beds at the distance j
they intend the plants to stand, and depo
site the seed in the cheeks. My expe- t
riencc and observation recommend the lot
lovvi ig plan—Flush up your laud as if in
tended for corn ; open a furrow by one cut j
of i imwol hoe plough, at the distance you
wish u» plant : spread your seed in lids s
furrow, and then cover it by a plough, with
out any hoe, with two boards attached to *
the i eye aid extending forwards. With '
an implement of this kind yoa cover the I
seed with great f cility, and by this mode 1
of pi lining you preserve afresh surface, all *
imporsaiit, by preventing your land from *
washing into gullies—by diminishing the I
los- of moisture at this critical juncture by 1
evaporation, for the more uneven the surface ’
the more rapidly it dries, and by facilitating ‘
the culture of the crop after it is up, which 1
will appear under ihe head of culture. 1
Time of Planting. — I'liis should vary 1
with tlie latitude and distance fro u the sea
board. In more southern latitudes they may 1
plant much earlier than we do in Virginia; 1
bin a person living near the seaboard in *
Viiginia, say at Williamsburg, may plant as
soon as a Carolinian living at the distance of i:
15(t :,iili*-, from the sea.— 1 reside about 40 n
mile* from the Carolina line and about 150 n
from the seaboard, and in my vicinity, some a
begin as soon as Ihe first week in April, v
others later. If i could deposin' all my ii
seed in one day, I would prefer about the g
lOth of May. One of my neighbors, last v
, * v O
year, (ailed m a crop ol wheat, on a small t
lot ol land, lie ploughed it up in May, e
and planted it on the 22d of that month
its produce was more abundant than any g
other part of his crop. Ily planting late you a
avoid the risk of planting your crop overt
twice, whid.li would, at that busy season, be'b
a serious !■>-*, and the further risk of havingjb
your crop-tuned in its growth, by lute frost's
or even odd weather, Irom the injurious A
effects of which it is slow in recovering, llvl. l
planting, late the seed vegetates soon—the t
plants come tip with a vigorous growth, ;
which they retain to their maturity ; if pro- i
pcrly managed afterwards. A cotton plan |
ter should plant his corn early, have every i
thing in preparation for the expeditious (
planting of lus cotton, anil bv beginning a
bout toe 251 h of April, will finish in good!
time, il he have a full crop, sa\ live acres
to each labourer—if Ins crop is less, he may
begin later 1 speak of the southern pan
of Viiginia.
Distance and thinning. —The greatest
I■ " “
distance generally between the rows is 4.)
feet and the shortest IS three. Some crowd
a great many plants on an am , having the
rows leli in t> feet apart, and leaving the
plan's only -i in 5 inches apart I'liis may
answer on very thin land, but will be de
structive on lien land. The distance should
vary according in the fertility of the land.
I pun rich tobacco land, I would advise a
bou> 5 leet by twelve inches. The plants
should n-.-ve ue so crowded as In interlock
across the tows; for, thereby you impede
the facility 4 gathering, and exclude the
sun ami air, important to all crops, hut
mure so to cotton than any other. 1 made
more than 1000 lbs. per acre, from a lot
planted 5\ feel by 18 inches, and where
there was any irregularity in the distance
it exceeded 18 inches. A good general
rule is, to give it distance one way and
crowd the plants the other, to that distance
which will afford stocks enough for the
strength of the land. Last year I saw a
piece of rich second low ground, by the ad
mission of the proprietor, an advocate for
thick planting, much injured by being plant
ed too thick. The rows were three feet
four inches apart, and the stocks left six in
ches apart in the rows—he determined to
give it much greater distance in his next
planting. May not the rot he promoted by
the greater humidity preserved in the field
by a crowded growth of plants ?
Culture. —This should begin, as soon as
j the plants are well up, with llnee or live
tooth harrows, or trowed hoe ploughs, cut
king once on each side of the plants and so
(near to them as to destroy some, thereby
(aiding the operation of thinning. After
ihaving gone over the crop in this manner,
,tbe business of thinning going on at the
same time, but after the plough. The next
working should 1 u "-

advantages of planting on a Hat surface.
Ily planting on high beds, you are obliged
to clear away the grass with hoes, thereby
increasing the labours of hoe culture, and
(his cannot be done without drawing away
some of the earth from the plants, which
never fails to injure its growth. I have
heard some experienced planters say, that
yon might increase your crop by planting
in checks at the distance of 3) feet by IB
inches or two feet, and leaving two or three
stalks in each check. Ily this means you are
enabled to give one ploughing the narrow
way, and thin out the cotton with more ex
pet!il ion, as which, no part of the manage
ment of the crop is so tedious, except the
suilicring-.
Hot. —This is too well known to all cot
ton planters, to need any description. Much
has been said respecting the causes which
produced it, but as yet all is vague conjec
ture. I have observed in my crops, that
those spots not hitherto cultivated in cot
ton were less injured by it than any other
parts. lam inclined to believe it proceeds
in some cases from a sudden check given
to a rapid How of sap, produced by causes
as yet undiscovered. 1 suggest the follow
ing as probable means of diminishing its (
ravages. The seed should be thoroughly 1
dried, or kept until they are old. Shift !
your land—keep it free from grass ; but !
never accelerate its growth bv too much cut- 1
•W V j
lure —give access to the sun and air, by Hie
distance you plant.
'Topping. — The beneficial result of this,
is as various as the experiments have been .
numerous. M any experiments have been |
made within the circle of my acquaintance, t
and the results differing. Some gentlemen, j
whose veracity is unimpeachable, have
informed me, that they have attended the
gathering and weighing, and that there
wtis no difference in the product of the |
topped and untopped cotton —while odi
its, equally respectable, have assured me
—that die topped cotton yielded a much j
greater crop. The topping is performed
at different seasons; by some, as soon asL
the 15th of July, in which case it may
be beneficial, but increases the labor, [
by creating the necessity of removing the
suckers, a very tedious operation ; —by o
thers, it is procrastinated until the last of
August, after which no sin kering is requir
ed. Tupping at this season i> most expe
ditiously performed with long knives, or
with bits of old scythe blades inserted into
pieces of wood which serve as handles, by
the labourers walking bri-klv along and
chopping off as much ol the top as i- thought
redundant. The late tupping 1 cannot be
lieve will add ati', tiling to the crop, but it
is serviceable in removing leaves which
would be in the way of gathering, and ad
mitting more sun, thereby accelerating the
maturity of the crop ; for, although the cot
ton will all be opened before it can be ga
thered, yet tin earlier it opens the better,
as pods more widely expand when they o
pon early, which much assists the gather
ing, and topping may further be serviceable,
by curtailing the draft upon the fertility of
the soil.
Gathering. —Should commence as soon
as the cotton begins to open ; for let the
planter be us industrious as he may, the
* winter will lar advance upon him before he
. can finish, and will neatly expire, if he have
■ a full crop and lie without extra hands to as
‘ sist. Ike morning’s gathering, for the first
l month at least, should be set i Voided for a
; half day. Some hands iu this part of the
country pick out 158 lbs. a day, but such
■ cases are rare—an average of 50 lbs. a day
i is thought good—however, the average should
exceed that vvejght until the middle of No
i vember. Some planters are in the habit,
; and it is recommended to all, of weighing
■ the gathered cotton once or twice a day, and
i keeping a book in which they set down a
■ gainst each labourer’s name the ga
thered. The benefit of this courso will be
■ readily perceived without any further obser
l vation; and further of stimulating the ex
■ ertions of the laborers by occasional pretni
i urns. This plan is highly advantageous.—
t There is no crop in which so much can be
r lost by negligence and indifference as in
i cotton, or which can be so easily concealed ;
nor is there any in which so much depends
ion pratice and habit By premiums you
! afford exercise in industrious exertions, ex
cite pride and emulation, and what is most
» important, lighten the weight of labor by
