VARIETIES OF COTTON.
W. I. EVERETT.

Mr.. Williams Thinks il Possible to Increase Average
Annual Yield Fif,y Pounds Per Acre, Meaning $2,-
ooo, 900 More Annually for North Carolina Farmers.
Editors Progressive Farmer:
The North Carolina Department of Agriculture
some four years ago, realizing the fundamental
Importance of ascertaining the varieties of cotton
best adapted to the different large soil types OF, the
State, began in a systematic way to conduct COM
~parative variety tests with cotton and other agri-
cultural crops. It was felt that if by carefully
planned and conducted experiments through a
number of years the most prolific varieties of cot
ton, or the different soil types for an average
season, could be ascertained, and farmers gener-
ally be induced to grow the best varieties, mate
rial assistance would be rendered in increasing
the total amount of this crop grown per acre, and
thereby add to the net profit of our farmers. If
the average annual yield of seed cotton be in
creased fifty pounds per acre by planting of the
best varieties Of seed, over two and one-quarter
millions of dollars will be added annually as clear
profit to the receipts of the farmers of North
Carolina, when seed cotton is selling at four and
one-half cents per pound. The accomplishment
of this increase is not such a great undertaking
as the average annual for our State ia small, only
being two hundred and fifteen pounds per acre.
IN our variety test last year on the Edgccombe
Test Farm there was a difference of over five
hundred pounds of seed cotton between the variety
yielding the highest and the one yielding the low
est result under identical soil, fertilizer and cult
vation conditions.
The Department has made tests of some twenty
five varieties, and has found that the varieties
having large bous and seed and possessing well

working for wages. They are expected to work,
in the preparation and cultivation of the crop
six days In the week. As their supplies are 1ur-
nished them on the farm they can make tuil time
as hands and keep the mules doing likewise. We
rotate crops, plant peas for Improvement OF the
fertility of the lands. This we regard as the most
economical method of improving the lands. AS
early as possible after crops are gathered. we
break" the lands by using two-horse plows follow
ed by subsoil or long scooter plows, thereby break
ing land from twelve to fourteen inches in depth.
These lands without any fertilizer would produce
about three hundred pounds of seed cotton to the
acre. Under our system of Improvement for the
past fourteen years, the average has been z9'
pounds of lint cotton per acre. During this term
of years the cotton crops have been sold at an
average price of TA per cent per pound. The
largest yield any one year has been 349 pounds
lint, and the smallest Isl pounds per acre. The
highest price averaged any one year has been 1879
cents, and the lowest 4.S6. The labor cannot make
a support at the latter price, nor can he at the
lowest average yield quoted. AS our nearest rail
road depot is seven miles, we but seldom have
exchanged our seed for meal. Generally compost
seed with stable and lot manure and kainit. AS
this will not furnish fertilizers for all the lands
we cultivate, we then use cotton-seed meal, aciL
and kainit to finish.
We do not allow fuctuation of prices in cotton
to increase or diminish our acreage in this
product. We never fail to plant sufficient acreage
in grain ETC., for farm use.
If we have had any success as farmers. it has
been in fair dealings with our labor (of which we
at all times have had all we wanted). seeing that
they did not waste their time or their money, and
bountifully feeding the soil.
Respectfully,
W. I. EVERETT.
