THIN BREEDING PATCHES.
See that Cotton is Trimmed Now to
Only One Stalk to Hill.

Clemson College, July 20.-Those
should Immediately give attention to
their breeding patches of cotton and
see that the patch is thinned to the
proper distances between the stalks
and to only one plant to the hill.
These details are important in
breeding work. There is yet time to
do this work
The botany division Of Clemson
College advises that where one wishes
to make q study of individual stalks
and to select superior individuals for
further breeding, it is absolutely es-
sential that such stalks be given dis
tance to develop normally. In breed
ing patches and progeny rows the
stalks should be at least three feet
apart in the roW and the stand
should be as nearly even and perfect
as possible.
1t is especially important that only
one stalk be left in a hill. Cotton is
very seldom thinned to such a stand
when it is chopped out and frequently
one does not realize that it has been
left too thick until the plants are al
most mature.
BY now the plants are large enough
for one to see where the stalks are
crowded and it will be an easy matter
TO so through the breeding patch and
pull out the surplus stalks. This
should be done now. The longer one
leaves the plants, the more will ore
dislike to pull them out. Selections
