The making of an early cotton crop
is not so important an item at present
in South Carolina as it will become
when the boil weevil has spread over
the State.
1t has been found that there is al
most no cotton. produced in South
Texas after July 20 when boil weevils
are abundant in the fields. In South
Carolina August l or few days
later may be safely assumed as the
limit under the same conditions, con-
sequently the cotton crop will have
TO be made before that date.
Can South Carolina farmer make
bale or cotton per acre by August
l? 1 feel sure that it can very easily
be done. In 1908 the writer planted
one acre OF cotton April 2S and July
2s, ninety days later, had fixed be-
yond the bloom enough bolls 10 pro-
duce five hundred and seventy pounds
of lint cotton. The cotton was pick
ed September s, six weeks after the
2Sth Of July. 1t requires from six TO
seven weeks from the bio 1m to the
open boil. The making of this early
crop was accomplished as follows
The land was in cOwpeas in 1907. In
January 1905 it was plowed with a
reversible disc plow to a depth of
eight inches Fifteen tons of manure
was spread broadcast over The land
and the disc harrow run over 1t. April
1st it was laid off in four foot rows
and listed with a one horse plow.
Later the middles were run out and
just before planting a section harrow
run over the land. The soil was in
line condition when the planting was
done and a stand was secured in a
few days. The side harrow was used
at once and subsequent shallow cult
vations followed rapidly No COM
mercial fertilizers were used. Nothing
unusual Or difficult is needed in mak-
ing such a crop. 1t consists wholly
in the art of getting a supply of de-
caying matter in the soil; in prepar-
ing a perfect seed bed, finely pulver-
lied. firm, and we'll supplied with
available plant food; planting good
seed of a we'll bred. early or medium
early variety; planting the latter part
OF April; not more than one-half
bushel Of seed TO the acre and culti
waiting rapidly TO get an early and
quick growth. One thousand pounds
or more Of good fertilizer can he
substituted for the manure in South
Carolina. 1t is easy and a bale to the
acre can be made before August 1st
almost any year.

The Clemson Winthrop Agricultural
and Domestic Science Train.

ana domestic Science Train.
Owing to circumstances over which
We had no control the date of the
starting of our train has been some
what delayed and it is now planned
to get it under way about the 5th of
June.
The people Of this State should un-
derstand that while this train is plan-
ned and equipped by Winthrop and
Clemson College yet had it not been
for the hearty and liberal cooper
alton Of the railroads of this State it's
operation would not have been pos
sible The three great systems Of
the State, the Southern the Seaboard
Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line
have from the very beginning met
the proposition in the most cordial
and liberal manner. Not only are
they furnishing the equipment in the
shape Of cars for this train, but they
are also moving that train entirely
free of charge. 1 think it but proper
that this fact should be known as
an evidence Of the interest that these
roads are taking in the welfare of the
people Of the State.
Since the last notice Of this train
was given to the public another car
has been added thereto by Winthrop
college. This car will be filled with
an exhibit Of household conveniences
and should prove quite an attraction
and of educational value. 1t has also
been found possible to add more stock
Car so this feature will be especially
complete.
The visit of this train should be of
particular interest to the boys of the
various corn clubs Of the State and it
is expected that they will turn out in
force. therefore, special work along
the line Of corn judging and cultiva-
ton will be given by Prof. Napier and
the train will also be accompanied by
Frof. c. Il. Hadden who is now in
charge of the Boys Corn Club work
in this State, working under the joint
direction of Clemson college and the
United States Farm Demonstration
work.
Miss Hyde, in charge of the Win
throp cars, will have a competent
corps Of assistants and has outlined
an extremely interesting program, for
ladies who visit the train.
1t is hoped that everyone will real
ize that it will take the full day to
get the maximum Of benefit from this
train and that they will make it a
point to reach it early. One day is
all the time that can be allowed at
single point and we want to urge all
who can to be on hand promptly 50 as
to get the greatest benefit out Of the
train possible.
