ly Injure tha cotton, rotten la a hot
weather plant aid rhoald not be
planted until the sroun'! to thoroughly
war'u.
"Another mtotnVe la u*u<tlly made
by plantlm? the cotton too dV*ep. It
ton't pc*?lbl» to plant cotton too ahal-
low aa Iona aa It la in molat dirt. If
tha Kroun-l la motot. early planting
ahould be juat aa «hr*llow aa It la
ponlWe to aet It. If the seed to Juat
barely corcred. If in moist dirt, no
much the better. In fact the Drat
planta up are always seen at the enda
of the rowa where the need has been
dropped on- the ground and tramped
Into It and not covered at all. As the
ground geta warmer and the surface
begin* to dry out. the seed ahould
he planted a little deeper. Later
planting, after the ground Is thorough,
ly warm, may be planted o<»nslderab!v
deeper. Cotton la like beans. When
It germinates, the seed I* pushod up
out of the ground and ft In n< cessary
ihat It be aa shallow aa possible for
It to. get through.
"Another cause for poor stands In
cotton to the using of too small an
amount of seed. The old cotton farm-
er who said that he always planter! a
bushel of seed per acre—that he
wanted one half bushel "to push and
the other to pull" so that he was sure
the seed would break the crust and be
would have an even, uniform stand-
was about right. A gallon of itooI
seed will make plenty of plant? ro-
an acre but It la Impossible to get a
Perfect stand ef cotton with less than
three pecks of seed per aero: ther--
fcre more seed than nebessarv for a
st-nd must be planted. From three
to live pecka ahould always be used to
fnnure a good stand of cotton. If this
quantity of seed Is used, a harro<v o n
be uped very successfully In the first
me or two cultivations and the stand
not. Injured. Three to fire pecks nf
s"ed. planted as shallow as possible
to get into motot dirt and not planted
too early, will Insure a good stand
and the necessity of replanting will
be avoided.
"The next step la to thin the cotton
as early aa possible so the plants will
hare aa opportunity to make a thrifty
stalky grqwth. Cotton should a'wp.vs
be chopped twice. The first time a-
soon as all the seed Is well up it should
be thinned to eight or ten lnob.es or.
sf.ll of ordinary fertility and. aftT it
b-s been cultivated two or thres-
times It should be gone over with th"
hoes again and thinned to perhaps
twice the distance and all weeds and
grass removed that nas been left by
the cultivator.
"For a maximum yield, cotton should
be cultivated very shallow every eight
or ten days and the cultivation should
^ continued until the first mature
bolla have began to open.
"Th? best cotton growers always
t-Va great pains 4n saving seed. It to
<i excellent idea to employ some care-
r-il picker to pick the best bolls from
heat planta sufficient to make a
I' le. Thto carefully selected bale will
r ovide plenty of aeed for the aver-
:)*ra cotton farmar. The cotton farm.
cbould always plan to save seed
