He said that it v. as the liucst crop of cotton he had ever seen. He said that Rome of tho cotton was so tall that it could hardly be reached with an umbrella, 'i'he plant is thickly studded all the way up with large bolls, and tho lowest esti mate is that the six acres will yield four bales to the acre.

That the government officials are evincing considerable iuterest its the remarkable cotton is not a surprise.
