GROWING GOOD COTTON.

Good seed and the proper cultiva
lion of the plant is the secret of sue
cessful cotton production, and it may
be an important item of news to
many farmers to know that the aver,
age production of lint cotton in the
United States is only 1870 pounds to
the acre. The mistake the farmer is
making is that he pays more attention
to the acreage than he does to the
quality of seed he plants; and the
cultivation would likely be more
thorough il he did not have so much
territory to cover. The Oklahoma eX-
pertinent station states that with
highly bred seed under proper condi-
lions of soil and climate it is possible
to produce 1000 pounds of lint cotton
to the acre.
OF course, Oklahoma does not ex-
pect to reach that stage of production
on account of the short season be-
tween frosTs, but Te6as and more par
ticularly South Texas has all the con
ditions guaranteed except the rainfall
and it is a fact, too well known TO
merely deserve mention, that cotton
requires less rain than other crops.
The farmer can grow his own cotton
seed just as readily as he can grow
his seed corn after first making the
proper selection and planting it sep.
arately from the main crop Every
year there are reports of farmers
making a bale TO the acre, but most
OF these are estimates, of course,
based on an estimate of the amount
OF land in cotton.
There has doubtless been many in
stances where a bale has been gather.
