We learn that there is considerable
feeling, if not actual excitement, among
Sima of our planting friends upin the
suhjeet of ootton rai.-ingnext year. The
recent statements of heavy results ob
tained from planting cotton this year by
a few of onr roost industrious, enter
prising and intelligent planters has giv ■
en to the production of cotton in this
State a sort of Utopian character, which )
may lead to the ruin oi many of our cit
zeos.
The largo result?, so far, Which have
be.... obtained, have been confined to
am H patches, andcanDot be regarded as
anything like a fair test of what cotton
planting on a large, or even moderately
largo scale will produce. We do not
uoubt but that two, throe, or even five
bales of cotton have been made and may
he again made on one acre ; but we do
not believe that such results are attain
able in the culture of a largo crop.—
Doubtless thorough tillage, high ma
nuring and an improved and intelligent
system of cultivation will enable the
thrifty and industrious planter, who
lives upon and personally directs the
operations of his plantation, to make
ftptgrr crops than have heretofore been
possiblo on our old exhaust
lands. But he who expeets to reach
such results upon a large plantation
as Mr, Bancroft has obtained upon a
small town lot, will he sadly disappoint
ed.
We do not pretend to say that the
same amount of money expended for
fertilizers and tho same quantity of la
bor bestowed nptn one acre by Mr.
Bancroft, will not produce like results if
applied to each acre, in a hundred or a
thousand aero field. What we insist
upon is this: While a prudent man may
expend twenty or thirty dollars per acre
for fertilizers for a small patch, the
same man would not risk two or three
thousand dollars on an hundred acres,
when he considers the uncertainty of
our season and the liability of our sea
sons and the liability of the plant to
be ruined with rust or destroyed by
worms.
We would be rejoiced to know that
all our planters were carefully and pru
dently moving in the direction indicated
by the experiments of Mr. Bancroft, Mr
Dickson and other intelligent planters,
but we should be sorry to hear that any
of them had attempted to invest even
twenty dollars per acre for fertilizers on
a very large scale for the next crop.—
Not only is the uncertainty of the sea
sons and the amount of the crop to bo
considered in this connection, but what
is of quite as much importance the
price which it may bear next year is to
be taken into consideration.
With the staple at twenty-five cents or
even twenty cents a pound, money can
be madeby planting provided the plan
ter makes his own provisions. We in
cline to doubt, however, if money can be
made when all the corn, long forage
and provisions for the planter’s family
and bis laborers have to be bought at the
present high prices. Neither do wo be
lieve that much clear money can be
made upon rented lands. When the
rent is paid, tho laborer paid, tho pro
visions paid for, the loss of work ani
n)u , ' , J and the wear and tear of farming
imp’"Bents are paid for, ihero will be
bat little left to the profit side of ac
count. Our eye has just fallen upon a
statement made in one of our State ex-
that a tract of land of two hun
dred sud eighty-five acros in Polk coun
ty, recently rented for twenty seven hun
dred dollars, or within a fraction of tei:
doiiais per acre. The reason why it |
brought so much is stated to be, be- j
cause “it is among the best ootton places
in the State.” Now when the renter of !
that plase pays for his labor and pro
visi'D?, and then deducts from his crop
hundred dollars for rent
wo sh#ll be greatly surprised if he has a
sickle dollai left in the way of profits.
\Vc trust ;b»t wo do not under-esti
mate either the importance or the profits
under proper and judicious management j
of cutton planting, neither would we dts- j
courage our p in’ers from using liberal j
supplies of the best aod most reliable j
fertilisers. Wo know that much money i
has been made through the intelligent
use of ecinmert ai manures as applied to
tbs cultivation of oar great staple. Our ‘
object is simply to warn our planting
friends of the great danger they are in
of being led away under the present
high prices of cotton by the Aladdan
like storiea of three and tire hales of co*-
tor. Falina lent* is a good maxim for
planters as well as politicians Children
otawl befote they learn to walkl Let
us try to mteka profitably one bale per
acre before we attempt to. reach five.—
When we perfect a system which will
insure a bale for each acre planted, it
will be time enough to take thought for
■tore. .

Orton’s Preparation 1
llslablitlied 1866.
TIIE APPETITE FOR TOBACCO
DESTROYED I
Leave off Chewing and Smoking the
Poisonous 1 Vied, Tobacco.
One box of Orton’s Preparation is warran
ted to destroy tha appetite for Tobacco, in
any person, so matter how strong tbo habit
may be. If it fails in any case the money
I will be refunded. It is perfectly safe andO
harmless in all cases. It is almost im-fl
possible to break off the use of Tobacco.*
oy tbe mere exercise of tbe will. Some-1
thing is needed to Rssist nature is over ■
■HUSH lll —I
oming a habit so firmly rooted. Witl ■
he help of the preparation, there is no I
he least trouble. Hundreds have used ig
who are willing to bear witness to the fact,
that Orton’s Preparation completely destroys
the appetite fbr Tobacco, and leaves the per
eon as free ftom any desire for it, as before
he commenced its use. 7be Preparation acts
directly upon the same glands and secretions
affected by tobacco, and through those upon
the blood, thoroughly cleaning the poison of
Tobacco from the system and thus allaying
the uunatural cravings for Tobacco. No
more banksring foi Tobacco after using Or
ton’s Preparation. Recollect it is warranted.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The following are a few seclected from the
multitude of recommendations iu our posses
sion. From W. V. Heald, Esq , Bangor, Me.
Bangor, Maine, April 14/A, 1868.
I heicby certify that I have used Tobacco for
thirty years past, and for the last fifteen
yeats I have used two pounds per month
I have made attempts to leave off at diiferent
times. I have left olf one j ear at a time, but
always continued to hanker for it till I used
Orion’s Preparation, which has completely
cured me ot tne appetite for Tobacco. I
would recommend all who are afflicted with
this terrible habit, to try the Preparation
which will certainly cure if the directions are
followed. W. P. ligaux
From E. W. Atkins, Knoxville, Tenn.
Knoxville , lean., August hth, 1867.
This is to certify, that I bad used Tobacco
to such an extent, that my health had be
come greatly impaired, aDd mv whole system
deranged and broken down, in June, 1867,
I purchased one box of Orton’s Preparation,
and after using it I found that I was com
pletely cured. I have not had any desire or
hunkering for Tobacco since using the Prep
aration. i bcaevc it to be ail that it is rec
ommended, and I would advise all who wish
to quit the use of Tobacco, to try one box of
Ortun’s .Preparation. E. W. Amiss.
From John Morrill, Bangor, Maine.
Bangor, Maine, March 3]«f, 1868.
This is to Certify, that 1 used Tobacco for
18 years ; havo tried many times to break off,
but have suffered so much from a dizziness iu
my head, and a guawing in my stomach that
1 lui*e soon given up the trial. A short time
| .-ince r a friend induced me to lay Orton’s
I Preparation, (sold bv you.) I have done so
j a:. J am completely cured. 1 did not io the
least hanker after Tobacco, either to smoko
or chew, after I began to use the Prepara
tion. John „Voauu.x.
Beware of Counterfeits and all articles pur
porting to be like this, of the same name or oth
erwise. The great popularity of Ortou's Prepa
ration has induced unprincipled persons to at teiupt
uiiig upon the public counterfeit aud inferior
articles. Purchasers will please order directly
from the proprietor, or his duly authorized
Agents.
The price of Orton’s /’reparation is per
box, forwarded to any part of the couutry,
