in light land from three to five bushels an stiff from l to li so soon ns the cotton begins to come up it should bc lightly draw n down with the hoe in still clay soils it is sometimes neces sary to perform this operation to ena ble it to i uiiie through as it frequent ly happens that a heavy fall of rain followed by hard winds mav form u trust over the seed which if cut on each side of the drills the seed ill coming up will easily throw oil tha drawing down is followed by a close ploughing to the cotton it is then carefully drawn up with the hoe and all tin loose dirt drawn to the lied at this stage it is proper to give it ita first thinning — the best and most ex peditious mode of doing which is to put a lew of the most intelligent hands to chopping it out with the hoe imme diately before those who are drawing up a practised hand will go over four acres per day if the rows are not nearer than live feet and remove all hut five or six plants the fine dirt ia dun drawn carefully round these so soon as the fourth leaf makes us ap pearance it is then thinned hy hand to two stocks ; when these begin to grow incl draw all out but one — there is a great variety of opinion is it regards the proper distance in the drill ; my own experience is decidedly in favor of great distance — in no land however poor would i have it nearer than 9 inches and in the best low grounds from two and a half to three feet lhe cultivation of the crop de pends much on the season if dry plough and draw d'nt to the cotton and cover the young grass if wet draw the grass lightly from the cot ton ; plough and then earth up as ear ly as the weather wiu permit this system of ploughing nd hoeing is to be continued until the cotton becomea so large as to be injured by the plough passing through it : it must then be chopped over with the hoe until the crop is made of which a judgment may be formed by its beginning to o pen freely at the bottom from five to seven acres is the usual crop to the hand exclusive of corn ten hands could cultivate one hundred acres of cotton with ease ; but if a good crop it would require twenty to pick it out i have never planted in hills because i think the drill has many advantages not only in the culture of cotton but of every other crop the isinglass is generally deemed the best soil for the production of cotton — it is beyond a doubt the most certain ; but any land that produces good corn in a proper latitude will produce good cotton in low grounds a dry season is preferred because with common industry the crop can be kept free from grass which is all important ; high lands will bear more rain because they may be work ed in all seasons i have never seen any work on the subject of the cul ture of cotton nor at i believe such an one has been printed i believe i have now answered all the interroga tories of agricola jr and if done to his satisfaction i shall be truly grati fied a short staple cotton planter hail ! first of art , source of domestic i as , rn of the land and patron of tbe seas to surveyors ii 1 ilm uttle 3 aiul'ii h kli/'ili beatj s w lindsaj tc co 3 e .\. beaty ' margaret a lawing anderson beaty 3 m isaac bryan adam m'raven robert buchanan john morris lohn bowden thomas j mabry william blair robert m'knighl john barnett job mills mary baldwin daniel m'lean c cyrus m'clure \ tor crook 3 charles mason messrs w & j cook 3 himelius mendenhall william \. cannon samuel m'comb 2 or david t caldwell «>. james cathey joseph l orr john carclock p john cuthbertaon joseph purviance robert t cheek william prii o benjamin t curtis q rev i f.chrietenbury francis qui rj william clark it m.is a christenbury james roper 1 john robinson murk derden john hitch william donell 8 john dulin david smith 2 william duckworth ellis smith walter davis john stilte ]•-. hystaspas steward john w frisbie george singleton david foster sheriff of mecklenburg reuben freeman john stookingef james ll fraser leroy secris frederick festerman margarel springs i a lam springs james gibson t rev isaar greer david a thompson james gillespie w agness galloway rev william wilson daniel galloway susana ward ll moses wallace robert renegal samuel whit i.l i lohn henderson lydia wallace richard t hickson john wilson 1—1 /-. john b irwin d s ii zanty william smith post-matter or teachert of the art of surveying the aubacri » r nropoaci publishing i stnu.ll book und r thi following title t\u surveyor's auxivuw iitioi nn oo im is .'"■.' i cotton no vi mitt it '. :, 1821 sutl iimi i'll al trigonometry , containing rules for wiving all cuei which may qccur in practii il surveying bj common \ rithmeticj to which will i added tablet of jl.aitiliulr 1.1 11 pm-tui-a . m i mr skinner in number 3 3 third volume ol your paper agricola,jr solicits infor mation on du lubject of the culture of cotton almost every plantation in our country has a system ol its own — hence the difficulty of entering into i details i have attempted a hasty sketch of iht most important objects of attention in this culture ; and should those hints be of any use to your cor respondent or to others it will afford me pleasure in this culture us in most others different soils require dif ferent modes of preparation in light soils the plough only is us ed in the formation of the beds or ridgeb which generally consist ol from three to five furrowss thrown to gether for this purpose the common shov el plough is in most general use as it also is in the cultivation of die crop my manner of preparation however is somewhat different aly beds con sist of five furrow slices die first ol which is tiirown nearly in the centre of the interval between the old beds whether of cotton or corn if the dis tance suits with wood's patent plough followed in the furrow by a narrow shovel fourteen inches long two lur row slices on each side are thrown to the first with the same plough follow ed in efcery furrow by the narrow sho vel on light soils this is deemed sufficient the intervals being left until t'ne crop receives its first ploughing — on stiff clay soils this would be haz ardous — the five furrows are run how ever in the same manner as in light soils the intervals are also ploughed at die same time : it is not however material in ploughing these to go to the same depth — the whole is then drawn together and shaped by the hoe this is to guard against the danger of a drought in the spring which would so bake the land as to render the break ing of the middles extremely difficult these observations apply to the prepa ration of lands that have been in culti vation the vear preceding with those that have been at rest and on which there is a large quantity ot veg etable matter i would recommend a different treatment the preparation on these should commence as early as the 20th of au gust deep furrows should be run at the distance it is contemplated to have the beds : all the grass c should be drawn with the hce into them ; the whole surface should then be ploughed and followed by the hoe so as to lorm the beds immediately over the vege table matter it is important to com mence and to finish this operation ear ly to insure the complete rotting ol the matter thus drawn into the furrows before the cotton plant begins to shoot its long tap root into the earth should circumstances delay the preparations until after christmas in clay soil par ticularly it is then best i think to turn the vegetable matter under with the plough and form the beds with the hoe the distance between the beds will depend of course upon the quali ty of the soil on lands capable of producing from 10 to 15 bushels ol corn they should be about 4 it apart from'lj to 25 bit's 5 feet from m to 50 bus — 6 ft 50 to 70 bu — 7 ft j and h ft i deem sufficient space for any land if well thinned iu the drill it is important to be in readmi 1 1 i i cii n soon as all ds one week in th ion worth a fortnight in tl i part of it i generally plant the first open weather after the 20th of march al ways reserving seed sufficient for re planting ia case of accident on the centre of the bed a narrow trench is shall rcci ne a k venth gratis persons wishing to subscribe mat lit nlft 1 1 1 - - same in ai note di rect ! •.. the 1'ost-offlce in salisbury and the i i to a.'a.a i offlci the may \ ii the rule proposed has never yet ap peared im im svstem ol surveying with which the publ li r liasmade himself'acqtiainted and ,, calculated to l.n.l the difference of la.tit.nle salisbury n c or they will not be attended to baking s\»u>ss bread and crackers and cakes of _■.-- ery description as well as the various articles usuallj kept in a confectionary store — all of which he will dis dose of on very reasonable tern thomas holmes salisbury dec ih ik ho to ca\rpe.nte,t8 pt1he subscriber wishes to employ immedi 1 at b two of thr .- joiimej men carp liters to whom good wages and constant employ will be given he will also lake two or three lads of good character as apprentices to the carpen ter's lliisiii.s.s norn need apply but such as are sober an.l industrious john albright salisbury october 3 1821 69tf wl m\u a v the celebrated horse ajmbv . / rtie o.v previous to the 15th of february next he will again stand the ensuing spring season in this phu michael brown sahslmry lln 3 1821 htl-'l m dollars yu.\\vvya ■ |» iku-.r 1 ll 3 , i i i f tli 17th in s^bhh_____h__sa______s^__________ll 1 > ,. ,..-,.. i ■ book-binding business j^^'^^^^^vss s2 mhe subscriber respectfully informs the oiti on a charge of counterfeiting mon jl sens ofthe western section of n carolina u . ._ il)()i 35yi un r - hu . k com pi e x ami the adjoining districts of 9 carolina that lie , l!)1 lv ,. p ,. , ;.„.|, v . s hi»h one of the has established the book-binding business in all i lu ., ,'.,.',„. s s;ln _ |,,. came f charleston s c and of ita various branches in the town of salisbury i |,;
