The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1881-04-09

We clip the following from Cotton,
a New York weekly journal, de-
voted exclusively to the interests
of cotton planters, manufacturers
and dealers:
David Dickson, of Sparta, Ca,
who took the premium at the State
Fair in Georgia, in 1869, for eigh-
teen bales of cotton on six acres,
who before the war made $500,000
in fifteen years by farming, having
begun with a capital of only $685.
900, and was equally successful
after the war, thus laid down before
his death the rules by which he
was governed in the cultivation of
cotton:
Lay off rows four feet apart with
shovel plow, double furrow, and put
in fertilizers eight inches deep.
Ridge with a long scooter, FIVE
inches wide. Make the bed with
a turning plow, and subsoil the
turn-plow burrows; split out the
middle with shovel plow. Plant
with cotton seed sower, and cover
with board or harrow. First plow-
ing-run twenty-five inches sweep
with right wing turned down; hoe
out two or three stalks every nine
inches ten days after plowing.
Second plowing use the same
sweep, the right wing turned up a
little more. Third plowing-same
way; run third flrrow in the mid
die to level.
Cotton standing thick in the drill
will be much more forward in ma
turing.
Cotton only requires distance
one way.
On level land run the rows north
and south.
A cotton plant to stand two weeks
drouth must have four inches sub
soil; three weeks--six inches soil
and the same subsoil; four weeks
eight inches soil and the same sub
soil.
TO improve the cotton plant,
select seed every year after the first
picking, up to the middle of Oeto-
Der, taking the best stalks and the
best bolls on the stalks.
From the 10th to Goth of April
is the best time to plant cotton.
Plow every three weeks, and let
the hoes come ten days. behind,
cleaning the cotton perfectly.
Continue plowing till the 10th or
goth of August. Once or twice
during the season, shove out the
middle with o farrow, to keep the
hand level.
The plowing Of cotton requires
one and fourth days per acre.
Cotton plants commence when
small to take on and mature bolls,
and continue until they exhaust the
soluble matter or reach the full
of the land. Two stalks
will do that much sooner than one,
and will so avoid q late drouth,
caterpillar, etc.
