Increasing Cotton Crop.

Personally. we believe that large
crops of cotton. as well as other crops,
should be grown by making the whole
land rich through 4 systematic rota-
ton IN which leguminous crops find
their regular place. 1t would be folly
to abandon such a rotation en- order
to plant more cotton. for fertility OF the
land must always be of first import
ance TO the successful farmer. In this
article. however, we are trying to
point out how best 10 increase next
seasons cotton crop. and must take
the land as we find IT, While il is un-
doubtedly better farming to first build
up the land in order TO make a big
crop. still. this takes time, FOR which.
in the present instance. we cannot
wait
An increase i'm the amount OF fcrtil
izer used per acre will increase the
crop. we know. FOR we have tried IT,
We also know that it viii yield
handsome margin OF profit. In 1900
we made. with POO pounds OF fertiliz-
er per acre. $40 pounds Of lint cotton
while where we applied 500 pounds OF
fertilizer per acre. we made GOO
pounds OF lint Here 900 pounds OF
additional fertilizer made an increase
OF 10 pounds of lint cotton. which is
worth ut present prices about SO. IL
will cost no more 20 cultivate an acre
where the larger amount OF fertilizer
is used. It gives much larger mar
Kin OF profit and Is. in our opinion. the
most practical way 90 increase the
crop. If you VIII look around we think
you viii admit that the farmers who
prepared their land best and used The
most fertilizer made the most cotton
the past season.
Now. IL we are going TO use more
fertilizer. we want it to bring us the
best possible results. and 60 this end
We must use care i'm applying &c. Open
n furrow six inches deep. and put the
fertilizer I'm tho ground under the seed
where there viii De plenty of moisture
10 dissolve IL. BE careful that &c does
not come I'm direct contact with the
seed. as il VIII hc likely To- injurc thcm.
Where a large quantity of fertilizer is
used 10 is best 10 mix 81 with the soil
10y running through the furrow with
q scooter. We must also Dee careful
that 81 does not blow away. and when
applying by hand. should use tim
Fuano horn. There are also several
excellent horse fertilizer drills on the
market. which viii apply the fcrtillz-
er more evenly than can be done 10y
hand.
Whether you plant your cotton In
the furrow or on The bed. be sure your
land is broken deeply and put i'm good
physical condition so IL will retain
moisture. Plants take up all their food
in a liquid form. and we must have
water 10 make the fertilizer soluble.
Much can also be done 20 aid the soil
In retaining moisture 10y Keeping the
crust broken. and n fine earth mulch
on the surface. thus preventing evap-
grafton. This. after cultivation. is
just as important as the preparation.
We must learn TO cultivate our crops
TO make them grow and not simply 10
Kill grass.
We VIII make more cotton 10y plant
Ing only what we can fertilize and
cultivate properly than by trying to
