Jones. tLc first bale man, brought to the News and Advertiser office yesterday, a stalk of cotton which he said was a fmr sample of ft 150 acre field, from which he confidently expects to pick a bale of cotton before Ttx is can n.u ture one. T^e stalk was eight inches high, and showed a well developed square, or an incipient bloom. Its foliage was luxuriant and the whole plant wore a healthy complexion. Mr, Joues said: I thought you would be interested in seeing what I never before observed, a cotton square in the month of April. Yon may consult the oldest farmers, and they will tell you that ih is unheard of for cotton to be so advanced April as to square Afttr looking with nafeigned tonisbment on the unexpectedly weil developed plant, the reporter asked Mr. Jones the earliest date at which he had ever known a cotton square. Well, you know that I have a hob by of raising early cotton. This is from no mere desire for notoriety, for I have demonstrated through many years of experience that the earlier cotton is forced to maturity in this climate the larger is the yield. Parly cotton is less liable to disasters that ant ualiy befad t' e crop in this latitude. Caterpillars I never destroy the fields that ate well j advanced, nor do the storms that g. n j erally prevail at the autumnal eqnir ox i find so much open cotton to blow j ont and injure, not destroy. I have therefore pursued a policy persistent ly of planting early, manuring high ly and working rapidly, and have for years kept a record* of the stage of development at stated dates ir. a season The earliest date of which I have record of a square is the IOih day of May. \\ !k-:i was the Held from which this specimen v. ih taken planted? us ka«.i the report This field was planted the hrst week in February.
