Our farmers are busy preparing their lands for another cotton crop, and some are planting. As usual, they will plant about ten times more seed to the acre than is necessary.

A successful farmer told the writer once that he used only ten bushels of seed to thirty acres, and never made a better crop. As seed are worth 30c. a bushel the ex periment is worth a trial.
