The South has never stopped to thini
how much money is wasted In planting
each cotton crop. Let us figure It GU,
and pee. Upon q safe estimate not less
than 400, 900 tons OF cotton seed arr
used each spring In planting. The seec

the plants are up the crop Ii thinnec
with n hoe, more than nine-tenths Of
the young plants being cut out.
Here we find that the seed used II
planting the cotton crop would bring ir
the market at least S. 00. 900. As nine
tenths Of this Is wasted. We see here q
total wuste Of over Nv and one-hal1
million dollars ($5. 760. 000.)
It II time for the cotton growers Of
the South to call q halt to this ex-
travagance. The old system OF sowing
cotton seed In the drill Is a remnant Of
the times when cotton e was ilmos!
worthless. Since then their value ha.
so much enhanced that u change should
be made In the n OF planting. IN
stead Of sowing the seed In drills droI
them at a distance wanted. and by fol-
lowing this method not only the labor
Of thinning Is saved. but nearly 400.0 CO..
tons OF good cotton seed Is saved fci
commercial use. and the farmers Of the
South are FIVE million dollars richer.

the seed plants and gives good stand
