1 profitabieness, which argues the want OF 6
better acquaintance with this important
crop. AS general rule the preparation OF
the land for corn 10 put of until Spring,
except stubbie land, which is either broken
up or turned in Fall OK early Winter.
But, with one exception, all prefer gray
| land fof cotton; two make no difference as
to aspe4e whilst others lay great stress upon
Southern exposure. The width of rows
range from threa 10 five feet, thres and one
half however, Is the ayerage width. It Is
worthy OF note that not two of the farmers
visited agree asto the number Of pounds In
q bushel OF cotton seed. Our I.cqislature
we think, shonld settle this question by en-.
actment: f
AS was TO be expected, there Is. great
diversity Of opinion as to fertiIixers--aome
pre&r one kind and some onother. All are
agreed that the quality of the fertilizers has
deteriorated from. what it once was, and
many ofthe best farmers say, after carefully
calculating results, that they are endeayor.-
ing to adopt some substitute for the fertil-
isers altogether, as tho profits (average)
arising fcom the Investment are so email as
not to warrant the risks. One Of tho closet
calculators says that 20 pounds put In with
the seed at tho time Of planting are eaual TO
150 pounds put in the bottom f9rrow and
bedded upon. From al We could learn y,e
are not prep3red to ondone this conclusion,
tbut the saving OF one-balf of the eost Of
manuring of crop Is certainly worth ex-
| perimenting ,Ipon. It is getting, to I,a on;te
common tr use the acid phosphate alone as
manp.e for cotton, and come contend that
it - equally as good or better in results than
.he higheskprined fertilizers.
