Messrs. Editors: For about TWEEN
ty-ave years I gave the growing OF
cotton for profit a close study. and
formulated some rules OF procedure,
the wisdom of which | thoroughly
demonstrated on my farmland they
are SO self-evident In advisability. so
simple in application. that II does
look like the average man would do
likewise.
one of tho fundamentals of these
rules was. that to make a profit rails
ing cotton. the forage and provisions
necessary to feed teams and hands
who cultivated the cotton must be
grown at home. Farming by this
plan produced sufficient surplus of
feed that would have otherwise gone
TO waste TO raise colt every year
for each two or three plows run on
tho farm. SO raised colts. had a

Where there Is too much food and q
surplus OF moisture available for cot

tates that these conditions should
not be increased by deep fall break
ings. We therefore advise the fol-
lowing plan under boil weevil con-
ditlons on such lands:
Burn all the cotton stalks, and
after the weevils have gone into win
ter quarters burn all the rubbish In
and about the field as early in the
fall as possible. In the spring, bed
on the firm ground. giving more
space between the rows. Prepare a
good seed bed before planting and
maintain ridge cultivation through
the season. The foregoing Is especi-
ally for lands where, under weevil
conditions. there is an excess OF plant
growth.
