LS>Mr. J. D. Land, Of the Beersheba
Tneighborhood, gave the reporter an in
teresting and plausible theory about
cotton yesterday. 1t was to the effect
that there is nothing especially serious
in present conditions, either on red or
sandy lands. While on red lands the
weed is generally rank and luxuriant,
and on sandy lands small and sickly,
the yield Of lint will not necessarily
be in accordance with these indications.
He holds that the weed Is hardly to be
taken as a safe rule to go by. In all
cases where the crop has been properly
worked, the crop is in proportion to the
quality Of the soil on which it grows.
For instance, while much rain may
produce an abundance of weed on poor
red land, and while this weed may
throw out enough squares to indicate
a heavy crop, in the shedding process
the stalk will throw off everything ex-
cept the limited amount Of fruit that
the soil is capable Of maturing. He
thinks the same rule applies to the cot
ton on poor sandy land. The weed Is
not nearly as luxuriant in proportion as
on poor red land; but the yield will be
just as good as If the weather had been
dryer and there had been a better de-
velopment of weed. Whether this the
ory be correct or not, 1t is quite inter-
esting.
