lIOIV THREE BALES OF COT
TON WERE MADE ON ONE
ACRE OF LAND.
Colonel B. G. Lockett communi
otes to Colonel Styles of the Albany
jews the modus operandi employed
|y him in producing the enormous
held of 27,206 pounds of seed cot
pu from six acres of land.
' Below we give Colouel Lockett's
btter in full with the accompanying
certificate :
Albany, Ga.. Dec. 20, 1869.
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 pouuds of seed cot
ton), was intended for the Georgia
Stat« Fair.
Tie premium having been awarded
Jordsn & Lockett for the greatest
yield on two acres, I am receiving
many letters asking information as to
the node of preparation and cultiva
tion >f land. I hope, therefore, you
will lave the kindness to publish the
folloving statement for the benefit
of allwishing to know :
The land was first broken with tbe
Watt & Knight—A. B. plow, the
large noidd board attached, breaking
the land about six inches deep—this
was dose the latter part of January.
The land remained in this condition
uwtill ready to be planted, which was
done on the 24th of April. The rows
were lad off live 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 vas distributed about one hum
dred ard fifty bushel of well-rotted
horse lot manure, and three hundred
pounds of ’’John Merryman & Co.’s
ammonated dissolved bones,” per
acre. This was then covered with
the Watt & Knight A. B„ plow,
small Rould boad attached, following
• t * O
in each furrow with a stb-soil plow
breaking in all about fifteen inches
deep. As soon as the preparation
was completed the seed was planted,
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-four inches wide, ami
one-half inch deep, and was at once
chopped to a stand, useing the No 2
shovel hoe, leaving one and two, and
sometimes three stalks—the width of
the hoe—and as near as we could, and
ten thousand stalks per each acre.
The cotton was hoed twice and
plowed seven times useing each time
the twenty-four inch sweep and never
cutting over one-half inch deep. It
was cultivated with twenty-one fur
rows, but equally as good work could
have been done with fifteen furrows
by useing a sweep a few inches wider.
I am also asked 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 sudject. My ex
perience lias been that much depends
upon the variety of cotton seed plant
ed. Those planting that variety of
cotton which grows large with long
limbs, will never make a large yield
by leaving 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 in
telligidly and concisely all the ques
tions asked, and hope the statement
may be of benifit to those asking the
information.
Below I hand you the evidence of
the yied, furnished the Committee at
the State Fair.
Most respectfully yours,
B. G. LOCKETT.
The land was first bushed with the
Watt and Knight ’y B’ plow, the
large mould and board attach, break
ing about six inches deep. A few
days before planting, the rows were
laid off with the ordinary scooter plow,
five feet wide, followed by a double
wing shovel 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 Merryman & Co.’s “amoniated
dissolved bones,” per acre. We bed
ded upon this with the Watt and
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 of April it was plant
ed. 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 cboping. We left upon
each acre as near as possible ten thous
and stalks.
Albany, Ga., Nov 13, 1869.
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
pounds seed cotton,
which, s«y nine thousand
eight and two-thirds
weighed and had ginned and paoked,
showing a result of twenty-eight hun
dred and eighty-four
cotton, an average of
dred and twenty
pounds per acre. ju

gathered 27,206 pounds seed cotton,

THOS. A. E. EVANS,
Civil Engineer and Surveyor,
newspapeiTpatronage.
Tnere seems to be a great many
different ways of defining and under
standing the phrase “newspaper pats»
ronage,” and as a party interested in
a correct definition of the same, we
give place to the following disquisi
tion the subject, by one who knows
whereof he speaks. It may serve,
perhaps, as a mirror in which certain
parties may be able to “see them
selves as others see them.”
Many long and weary years of ex
perience in the publishing buisness
has forced the conviction upon us
that newspaper patronage is a word
of many definitions, and that a great
majority of mankind are either ignor*
ant of the correct definition, or are
dishonest, in a strict biblical sense of
the word. Newspaper patronage is
composed of as many colors as the
rainbow, and as changeable as a cham
eleon.
One man comes in and subscribes
for a paper and pays for it in advance,
and goes home and reads it with the
proud satisfaction that is his. lie
hands in his advertisement, and reaps
the advantage thereof. This is pat
ronage.
Another man asks you to send him
the paper and goes off without saying
a word about the pay. Time passes
on, and you are in need of money,
and ask him to pay the sum he owes
you. He flies into passion, perhaps
pays, porhaps not, and orders nis pa
per stopped. This is called patronage.
One man brings in a fifty cent ad
vertisement and wants a two dollar
puff thrown in, and when you decline,
he goes off mad. Even this may be
called newspaper patronage.
Another man don’ ttake your paper
it is too high-priced, but he borrows
regularly and reads it. And th it
could be called newspaper patronage.
One man likes your paper : he takes
a copy and pays for it, and gets his
friend to do the same ; be is not al
ways grumbling to others, but
has a friendly word. If an accident
occurs in his section he informs the
editor. This is newspaper patronage.
Another man has taken the paper
for seveal years, hut has not paid for
it, and he comes with an advertise
meut he wants inserted free because
he is “an old patron.” This is call
ed patronage.
One hands you a marriage or other
notice and asks for extra espies con* -
taining it, and when you asx him to
pay for the papers, he looks surprisi
ed—you surely don’t take pay for
such small matters. This is called
patronage.
Ohe man (it is good to see such)
comes in and says, “The year for
which I paid is about to expire. I
want to pay for another.” Ho dose
so and retires. This is newspaper
patronage.
It will be seen by the above that
while certain kinds of patronage are
the very life of the newspaper, there
are other kinds more fatal to its
health and circulation than the coils
of a boa constrictor are to the
less prey which it “patronizes.”

g™**™ f , 11Ct.• -
PSWeiglit years ago a gentleman
named Patton, with his wife and
daughter, the latter being about thir
teen years of age, removed to Cuii-
Massachusetts, lie was
a«j3Mpgpous, enterprising man, of
me;ir & anc * sou gbt the golden
snore! of the Paeiiie in the hope of
Jttj|Mi||Jds fortunes. He went to
"nmrento City, where he found
ready employment at his trade, that
of a builder. By a judicious invest
ment of the little means he took with
him, iu a few years he became the
possessor of a nice little property
valued at slo,ooo or $1*2,000. Cut
adversity came, and a fire swept
away more than half of his wealth
without a dollar of insurance. Soon
after this lie was killed by an acci
dent while at work, and, by a singular
fatality, his wife followed him to the
grave in a few months.
Meanwhile the daughter had grown
into a comely damsel of twenty-one.
There was no lack of admirers, but
she found no suiter to suit her. Left
alone among strangers, she longed
for the home and friends of her child
hood, but, dreading the perils of an
ocean voyage, she waited until the
Pacific railroad should be Completed.
Converting into money what remain
ed of the property of her father,
amounting to some $6,000, she pro
cured a through ticket to New York,
and started on her long trip, courage
ously undertaking the journey alone.
Soon after leaving Sacramento, how
ever, she met by chance, the usual
way on railroad cars, our informant,
a young gentleman of prepossessing
appearance, whose features bore tho
impress of virtue and character. His
home is in New Jersey. He had
been to California on business con
nected with the property of a deceas
ed relative, and happened to fall in
with Miss Patton upon the train.
An acquaintance sprang up, usual at
first, but which soon ripened into
friendship ; and she consented to ac
cept him as protector and escort.
Cupid seems to have been bent on
making mischief from the hour of
their meeting, and with fresh-filled
quiver kept up a persistent target
practice at their hearts.
Day after day, as the train rolled
on through the mountain fastnesses
and over the great plains of the West,
the little arrowy god never for a mo
ment forsook them, and they did find
it
“ —pleaßant,
Riding on a rail.”
Matters were brought to a focus
in a somewhat shorter space of time
than Mrs. Grundy assigns to Avooers ;
but both were fully satisfied, and
they determined to take a life ticket
together. Thinking it would boa
neat surprise to their friends, and
having that sublime indifference to
the opinions of others Avhich is such
a distinctive peculiarity of the
American character, they decided to
stop at Cleveland and have the by*
menial knot tied at once, They ar«
rived by the afternoon train on Satur
day, and having but few prelimina
ries to arrange, within a couple < f
hours the twain had been declared
one in the most orthodox manner by
one of our squires. The night ex
press East bore tho happy counle on
their wav.
We have briefly given the facts as
related to us, and our readers will
