The Principles in Planting Cotton.
IBy r. L. Bennett, Paris, Texas.


regarded as more or less of an
uncertainty. The principles in.
volved in planting are generally
disregarded, but if they were
followed as a guide better sue
cess and profit would be made in
cotton-growing. These princi.
pies were worked out by the
writer and reported in Farmers
Bulletin 81 of the United States
Department of Agriculture, in
February, 1908. But as the sea.
son is nearly arrived for planting
a new crop, discussion of the
principles may be of benefit to
many growers in the humid dis.
trictS.
The cost of planting and cult.
waiting the crop is the same
whether the stand be perfect or
imperfect. Both kinds of q stand
occupy the same amount of land,
and as cotton is grown only on
cotton stalks, the question of
getting and keeping a perfect
stand is of great Importance in
making a profitable crop. The
principles involved indicate so
clearly the proper practices that
the question of a stand is really
one of certainty rather than one
of uncertainty.
The seed contains the young
plant and its food. The latter is
in the two seed leaves and sus.
tains the young plant until it
grows large enough to obtain it's
food supply from the soil. The
food supply in the leaves is in
tended for the growth of the
plant and not for use of the plant
in forcing a way through either
hard or covering of deep earth
Where a diversion of this essen
tial food supply is caused by
deep covering of the seed, the
growth and strength of thu
plants are affected to a CORE
spending extent.
