OOTTON. Bureau Southern News, Tine Bluff, N. C. It is likely that no crop on the face of the globe, certainly, not in the Uni ted States, receives more anxious care and attention than the cotton crop. If the crop does well it draws large amounts of money to the United States, and not only benefits the South but the entire Union ; and for this reason the culture of cotton should be an interesting subject to every Ameri can. The cotton is planted from the ist of April to the ist of may in drills or rows about three feet apart. When the plants are two weeks old it is thin ned out by "chopping" or cutting a slice from the top of the row tight inches wide taking with it all the cot ton sprouts in the eight inch space leaving a few plants between each "chap." Later on all cotton fields are brought to a btand. That is, the fields are plowed, a'.l grass and all plants more than needed chopped out. To bring one acre to a stand, is a day's work for the best hands. Our fields have been brought to a stand, we leave the cotton to grow for a while and look a little to the foes of the crop. First the cold weather in the spring, may delay planting too long; or cold weather after it comes up may discolor it, or late frosts nip it. Too much rain in June may allow the grass to get ahead of the cotton by prevent ing proper cultivation of the land. The most destructive living foe is the cotton caterpillar. The Hon. Gerald McCarth, State Botanist of North Carolina, treats this as follows: THE COTTON CATERPILLAR. This much dreaded pest of the cot ton field is less troublesome in North Carolina than in States further South. Theco'ton moth is a tropical spec ies, introduced into the Southern oiaies ironi nouia America m or about 1793. The damage caused by this pest since its introduction almost exceeds belief. During the two de cades trom i860 to 18S0, competent authorities estimate the average an nual damage at $20,000,000. During bad worm years 1 exas has lost from this source alone $9,400,000 ; Missis sippi, fco, 000,000 i Alabama, $4,700. 000 j Louisiana, $4,500,000 ; Georgia, $4,000,000; Arkansas, $1,300,000; souin Carolina, $500,000; Tennessee and North Carolina, $350,000 each. The cotton moth passes the wintci in the perfect or winged state. But. being a tropical species, it is unable to withstand the winter temperature north of the latitude of Savannah and Vicks burg. At the commencement of cold weather all the moths found north of that latitude die ; of those found south of the line some few survive, hidden in cracks and corners of gin houses, and other buildings, or they find shel ter under heaps of rubbish in fields and woods. These survivors suffice to propagate the species anew each spring. The insects, as they increase in number, spread northward, and usually reach North Carolina about the first of August. The moth lays her eggs singly on on the under side of the leaf and each female usually lays from 150 to 200 eggs. The eggs are at first greenish, soon changing to whitish. They are about 1-40 inch in diameter, semi spherical and ribbed like a cotton picker's basket. The eggs usually hatch in two or' three days and the young caterpillars at once begin to eat. The first few days they confine them selves to the underside of the leaves, but eventually eat through or " rag " the leaf and appear on the upper sides. The caterpillar grows rapidly and eats voraciously for about 20 days. It then by means of silk threads, webs itself up into a leaf and remains dor mant for a week or ten days. At the end of this period it comes forth as the perfect or winged moth. Within thirty-six hours after issuing the moths have paired and the female begins to lay her eggs for the next brood. The number of broods varies from two in North Carolina to six or more in Tex as. The cotton resembles the buck wheat plant when it first appears above ground and for several weeks thereafter, but when fully matured it has the appearance of a small tree or large shrub. It's average height is three feet but sometimes it grows to a height of eight feet. Cotton commences blooming in June and continues to bloom until September, and ripens from the ist of July until the ist of December. A field of full open cotton resem bles a great snow bank it is so white and beautiful. Cotton is gathered by hand. No machine has yet been invented that has been a success in gathering cotton and I doubt if any machine will be in vented. A smart quick cotton pick er can gather two hundred and filty pounds a day " and make one dollar and twenty-five cents as the usual price for gathei ing is fifty cents per hundred pounds. When gathered, the cotton is carried to the gin house where the seed is separated from the lint which is pack ed into bales weighing from 450 to 600 pounds. It is then ready for market and can be sold for cash at any town or railroad station as there are cotton buyers wherever there is a Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla. town of a hundred or more popula tion. Good cotton land will yield an in come of twenty dollars per acre, and under the best of care and good ma nuring the net income above all ex penses can be increased to forty dol lars per acre. The finest upland cotton soil is found on the Carolina Central Rail way in North Carolina. It is a soil composed of decomposed granite rock and requires little manure or fertili zer. This kind of soil is also good grain and grass land. Similar soil is also found in the States of South Caro lina and Georgia, but the quality of cotton grown upon these soils does not command as high prices. As cotton enters Inrgely into al most every vaiiety of manufactured fabrics, its culture is destined to grow as the population and civilization of the world is extended ; and the ico pie of the United States should do all in their power to improve the con dition ol the cotton lands of the Uni ted States, for what draws money from foreign nations to the United States is of advantage to every citizen on the America Continent.
