TEST or
SINGLE-STAIK COTTON
WASHINGTON. Sept. s.--strik

WASHINGTON. Sept. 6.-Strik-
ling evidence in favor of single-stalk
cotton culture under certain condi-
lions is furnished by the results of
a test of the comparative merits OF
the customary wide spacing and the
lnew single-stalk system which was
conducted in 1914 at San Antonio
by the United States department OF
agriculture and report of which
has just been published by the de-
lpartment as bulletin No. 279.
From so TO $50 per cent more
hollis in the same row space was Sc
cured under the single-stalk system
and in addition the important advan-
Il age of increased earliness was Sc
cured. Where the boil weevil is
present, this consideration can not
be overlooked
Single-stalk cotton culture has
been recommended under certain
conditions by the department of ag-
Iriculture in number of recent pub
|lications. among them Farmers col
and Document 1870. Very brief
lly the system consists in late thin
ming and the leaving of short spaces
between the plants in the row. The
combination of these two measures
results in suppressing the vegeta-
tive branches and in promoting earli-
ness. Large, luxuriant plants are
later in setting and maturing the
|crop than plants of more restricted
growth. Where the season is short,
therefore. and where the boil weevil
is a menace. this is strong argu-
ment in favor of single-stalk cul-
ture.
At San Antonio. under ordinary
circumstances, a cotton crop must be
set in about one month. In 1914.
the season when the experiments un-
der discussion were made. the crop
was set in about 25 days. The sin
