Of clods. The soil mus, be in fine
state. Trash OF any kind interferes
with the running Of the planter and
the shallow covering of the seed.
A coarse, cloddy soil permits evap-
grafton of water from the soil below
the seed, and dries away the moist
ure before the seed can germi-
nate. The planter should have a
roller behind in order to sustain the
planter at proper depth, also to
firm the shallow soil, which is moist
and supplies moisture to the seed
for termination.
A "sled" OF "sword" opener to
the planter does not tear up and
loosen the soil that will surround the
seed. This type OF opener makes a
clean narrow trench for receiving
the seed.
The question may arise as to
whether such shallow planted seed
will germinate without rain. They
will germinate If planted early or
following a rain. There is general
ly more moisture in the soil early in
the season than later in the season.
But il no rain falls, a heavy roller
run over the beds will start germi-
nation.
Extra early planting should never
be practiced. A normal date in late
spring years should be the date of
planting every year.
A certainty of getting a stand
when the seed are planted, and of
keeping a perfect stand largely re-
move the principle causes of the
variableness of the production Of cot
ton from year to year.
