Suppose the ground Is well prepared by
blowing and manuring and you have good
seed, if the sowing is not properly done,
can you expect % get o good stand? They
should be sowa by q machine that sows
regularly and meyer makes any skips, in a
narrow dsili mals In fresh dirt, uniform
depth, about ons and a half inches. This
machine should be Constructed so as TO
guide the seed 10 the tfill, and SO arranged
that the wind caniot scatter them broad
cast across the ridge After this is well
done " "a yeFy important that they should
be covered; it Is tfle,tlat the cotton seed
will sometimes sprouton top of the ground,
but that is only the csc when We have q
rainy spoil; how ofenhaye farmers wished
from May till June fofthis rainy spell to
come. to make their uncovered seed in
stiff bottoms and raagHsrds sprout, which
land is invariabty the ess; for this very
reason seed not being properly SOW and
covered, o short crop i8ery often made on
these spots; farmers wi complain and say
sthe very spots where bought TO have had
my best cotton is the s2Fiest in the field;
little sorry stuff and nnnveF half a stand"
But the idea doesn't seh to occur to them
that they had neglected. Cow these seed
properly; they know vey often that their
cotton planter is an infeior one,b but money
is scarce and they thin they had better
make out with the old DE this year. Pos
sihly there may come 70 or three days
nice rainy westher ate We GEL through
planting our cotton andbring it right up;
with that hope they 60 aesd with a make
out" Cotton Planter, kpwing that it will
not do the work properl. Farmers very
often buy o cheap PlanteI that will do the
work imperfectly, and chsole themselves
by saying I have got a Ctton Planter and
saved two ar three aollFs by it, it never
once occurring to themhow much they
lose in the fall of the yeaby the planting
not being properly done. There is another
important point. A .olls can be of great
assistance in obtaining aEood stand of cot
ton: it IS a noted fact tina cotton seed will
come up sooner when th{dirt is packed Oh
them. To obviate these difficulties buy o
