pervious to the stfn, air, and dews. In
very wet seasons, recourse may be had
to turning plows with benefit, provided
they do not penetrate deeply^ near the
plant; for this checks the plant if it turns
off dry, by breaking the roots, and causes
it to shed, and forces it too much in
growth, if rain follows speedily. It is
doubtful whether topping cotton is bene-
ficial in the average of years, some limes
doing well, and at others failing in
similar circumstances.
Picking should begin soon as a hand
can gather fifty pounds in a day, as the
oil is soon evaporated by the sun, wind
and rain, and a l|rge per cent, of weight
is thereby lost. In full crop years, cotton
should be'picked as free from leaf ns is
consistent with good work. But in short
crop seasons, too*much pains should not
be taken with the leaf, as lhe difference
in number of pounds will greatly over-
balance that of loss of price per pound,
i and discrimination does not prevail in the
market to any extent comparable with
that of the large crop years. Planting
seed should be saved from
’picked from mid-day till night,

I cotton should never be sunned unless wet

four to eight weeks, to allow it to heat,

done at a moderate speed. Packing1

dy weather, but always hi damp and mo-
derately rainy days, as it packs beiter,
weighs heavier, from the absorption frgm
the air and retention of the oil latenuin
the lint. The bagging should always be
put on loosely to allow for the swelling
of the bale, and completely envelope lhe
cotton. The ropes should'be put on
tightly, to prevent undue expansion of
the bale, and be at least six in number.
