The small crop found a ready home market found to possess a remark for combination with woolous fabrics. The wool mills absorbed the product county, paying 23 cents per pound and made further inquiry out the State for "California." The crop of 1872 has been estimated by parties whose opinions to respect Charles S. Capp, in an elaborate publication in the "Resolutions California" for November, entire acreage in cotton during past season at 800 to 900 acres from three-quarters to a acre. The San Francisco special Herald, of a later date, entire crop at 1,500 balces estimates fixed the area plotted Kern County (part of which at 500 acres), and the average of Merced, Fresno, Tulare Counties, at a bale per acre isolated experiments on scale, are reported in other areas.

Turner and Helm 20 acres. The soil of this locality is drier than on the Merced River plantations, and the cultivation not so careful, hence the stand secured was inferior. In Fresno County Mr. C. D. Davis planted 40 acres, near King's River, using 30 pounds of seed per acre with irrigation. He was surprised to find the bolls at the second picking as numerous, and opening as freely as at the first. His entire expense of cultivation is reported at $770, giving a margin of profit so broad as to induce him to enlarge his plantation to 160 acres in 1873. It is currently estimated that during the coming season 1,000 acres will be planted in cotton in Fresno County. Mr. G. W. Allan, near Bakersfield Kern County, exhibited fine speci- COTTON RAISING IN CALIFORNIA. Reference has hitherto been made attempts at cotton-growing in California, the results of which, during the last two seasons, seem to indicate that the climate and soil of southern counties do not offer unsuperable obstacle to the progeny. The small crop of 1871 had a ready home market, being able to possess a remarkable fitness combination with wool in varieties. The wool manufacturers adsorbed the product of Merced County, paying 23 cents per pound, made further inquiry through the State for "California cotton." A crop of 1872 has been variously stated by parties whose facilities obtaining information entitle opinions to respect Mr. James S. Capp, in an elaborate publication in the "Resources of California" for November, gives the average increase in cotton during the season at 890 to 900, averaging three-quarters to a bale per acre. The San Francisco Commercial, of a later date, gives the crop at 1,500 bales. Local states fixed the area planted in County (part of which failed) acres, and the average yield exceeded Fresno, Tulare and Kern acres, at a bale per acre. Some experimental experiments on a small farm reported in other counties. Merced County, near the village Snellings and Hopeton, on the River, several enterprises on culture were inaugurated. Here, the largest plantation was Buckley & Brother—250 These gentlemen in 1871 freely as at the first.

It is currently estimated that during the coming season 1,000 acres will be planted in cotton in Fresno County. Mr. G. W. Allan, near Bakersfield Kern County, exhibited fine specimens of Dixon, Texas, and Golden Prolific cotton, which, though planted late—some of it in June—matured a month earlier than it would have done in his native State, South Carolina, producing a finer and whiter staple. He finds the cotton season of that locality remarkably long no injurious frosts to be apprehended from April 1 to October 10. Cotton not being planted till after the close of the rainy season, does not require the laborious and expensive process of hoeing to keep down the weeds. As it is gathered before the next rainfall, there is no occasion for "moating" or separating the rain-stained fiber from the clean-Mr Stein raised a small crop in the same locality in a young vineyard. It was a fair crop, through somewhat neglected in its earlier stages. The growth was as thrifty on the alkaline portions of the field as on any other. The "California Cotton-Growers' and Manufacturers' Association" purchased 10,000 acres near Bakersfield. Of this area only 300 acres were planted the past season on account of the difficulty of obtaining good seed. A portion of this crop being freely irrigated, was ruined by weeds. Other portions, to which this process had been more sparingly applied, produced a fair crop. That portion which escaped the infliction entirely made a remarkably fine growth. Superior samples of Peerless, Dixon, Golden Prolific, and Texas were exhibited, of which the earlier planted were the more excellent. The association proposes to plant 2,000 acres in 1873. To encourage the growth of the staple during the coming season, it will without charge, furnish the neighboring cultivators with good seed. acres, and the average yield increased, Fresno, Tulare and Kern counties, at a bale per acre. Some small experiments on a small farm reported in other counties. Merced County, near the villa-Snellings and Hopeton, on the River, several enterprises on culture were inaugurated. One, the largest plantation was Buckley & Brother—250 acres. These gentlemen, in 1871, over 20,000 pounds on 51 an average of 400 pounds per acre. They claim for their crop of cotton a far more promising and delicate character. Near them J. M. Strong planted 200 acres; Mr. C. S. Peck 75 acres; Mr. None 25 acres. The total area of the plantations in this locality early 600 acres. These crops will raised on alluvial bottoms seded by the Merced River.

Mr. H. M. raised a good crop on wheat- irrigated.

To encourage the growth of the staple during the coming season, it will without charge, furnish the neighboring cultivators with good seed and gin all their crops. A considerable importation of cotton-gins has been made, especially of portable machines, in different parts of the State. The crop realized from 20 to 22 cents' per pound in different localities. USELESS LABOR—An enterprising citizen of Plano. Ill., has after long and anxious study succeeded in making a whistle out of a pig's tail. It would not be worth mentioning were it not that he has been boasting about it, and Plano is jubilant over the subject. But why? It was never denied that a whistle could be made out of a pig's tail. We are grieved to be compelled to mix such an alloy of disappointment in the joy of Plano, but the original proposition was that none could make a whistle out of a pig's tail, but that one could not make one of tin out of the material. We think that the wisdom of the pro-pounder of this prob'em remains yet unassailed by any practical proof of the fallacy of his celebrated axiom. All the man has to do now is to turn it into tin, and perhaps with an equal amount of perseverance and intelligence he has devoted to accomplish his present intellectual triumph, he may succeed in doing it; if so, none sooner than we will give him all the credit that is justly due him.—Figaro.
