the vegetative branches in the ear
lier stages of growth
The number of vegetative branch
es is also influenced by temperature
and soil conditions. If the weather
remains cool, or IL the soil is very
dry, not many vegetative branches
will develop, even when the young
plants are widely separated But IL
the conditions favor a luxuriant de-
velopment Of the young plants, early
thinning will result In the develop
ment of large number of vegeta-
tive branches. and the subsequent
crowding will be great. Even in the
absence OF any disease or insect
pests the crop may be ruined by
crowding alone.
Suppress the vegetative branch
es," is the advice of the Department
to farmers desiring to experiment
with the new system. Practical ex-
perlments must be undertaken by
those desiring to understand the
method; merely reading about ex-
periments of others is not sufficient.
How long the timing should be
delayed to suppress the vegetative
branches and how close the plants
should be left in the rows are ques-
tions that the skilful farmer should
learn to determine for himself, since
the actual conditions must be taken
into account to secure the best re-
suits. If the farmer does not look
into the subject far enough to grasp
the underlying principle, he is not
likely to be able to appreciate the
new method or to use 1t to the best
advantage.
The two features OF The new sys-
tem-deferred thinning and closer
spacing be properly combined
in order to insure a favorable re-
suit. Most farmers believe that
either of these changes will injure
the crop, and the danger is that
they will try one change without the
other instead of making a complete
break with previous theories and
methods. Until the principle of
branch control is understood it is
difficult to believe that two appar-
emily injurious changes can have a
beneficial result.
Actual results of experiments are
given in the new bulletin and the
intelligent cotton raiser who is sim
cerely desirous to better conditions
is advised to send for the phamplet.

who believe that cotton should be
left closer together in the rows, but
the tendency in recent years has
been toward wider spacing, owing
to a general recognition OF the evil
effects of having the plants too close
together, especially under conditions
that favor luxuriant growth. Those
who use. narrow spacing may boast
of phenominal yields in some sea-
sons, but in other years they ap-
pear at disadvantage with their
neighbors. The possibility Of maxi
ing safe combination of the two
conflicting methods seems not to
have been suggested. The same
conflict is shown in the results of
formal experiments to determine the
best planting distances as in the
popular opinions on the subject.
Wide spacing in the rows seemed
better in some cases and narrow
spacing in others so that no definite
conclusions could be reached.
The theory of wider planting has
its limitations as well as that Of
closer planting. To reduce the num-
ber of plants by wider spacing in the
rows means that longer period of
time is required to produce a crop.
This is true because large luxur-
iant plants do not begin to produce
flowers and bolls as early as plants
of more restricted growth. 1t may
seem more logical to many that the
plants making the most rapid growth
must produce the earliest and larg-
est crop, but this is not true. Large
luxuriant plants are later in setting
and maturing q crop because the
young plants of luxuriant growth de-
velop limbs producing no bolls at
the expense of the lower fruiting
branches necessary to the produc-
tion of an early crop. The limbs of
cotton plant which produce no
flowers or bolls are called "vegeta-
tive branches" or wood limbs" to
distinguish them from the fruiting
branches.
The row rather than the individ-
ual plant must be considered as the
unit under the system as recon-
mended The form of the row de-
mands first attention and through
improving 1t come the advantages of
the new method. More plants are
left in the rows, and yet injurious
crowding is avoided. Plants that
have numerous vegetative branches
are more crowded at 2 or feet
plants with single stalks at 8 or 10
inches. With the vegetative branch
es controlled, the spacing is no lon
ger a question of feet. but of inches.
given better results than those at
Rows spaced at inches have usually
~ inches or any greater distance.
By avoiding the development OF
the large wood limbs the rows are
kept narrower and more hedgedlike,
so that fruiting branches receive
sunlight throughout the season. This
provides much more favorable condi-
tions for the ripenig of the crop.
When the vegetative branches are
allowed to shut off the light by
growing up between the rows. most
of the bolsl on the lower fruiting
branches fail to reach normal matu-
rity. Fields of large luxuriant
plants often produce very small
crops because only the upright grow
ing ends of the stalks and vegetative
branches have access to the light
This undesirable condition is avoid
ed by restricting the development of

A Dangerous Pastime.

The first question an honorable
man asks when he sees a girl flirting
is whether she is a respectable girl
or not. You see how it raises doubt
at once. This being the case no
modest girl can afford to indulge in
this pastime among strangers. When
the down is brushed from the peach
the beauty is so married that it can
never be restored, and so when girl
throws lightly aside that sweet and
modest reserve so becoming maiden,
she loses her greatest charm and
becomes rather common and cheap.
Flirting may seem to the giddy and
thoughtless girl to be wonderfully
amusing, and she may even get an
idea she is quite fascinating, but it
is degrading pastime and should be
frowned upon by every young lady
VINO has an ambition to be worthy
and charming woman
