FIRST CULTIVATION
IS Of IMPORTANCE
With Cotton as With Other Plants II
Is Very Desirable That Work
Begin Promptly,
By W. E. Ayres, Arkansas Expert
mont Station.

By W. E. Ayres, Arkansas Expert
mont Station.
With cotton, as with other plants,
It is very desirable that cultivation
begins promptly The first cultiva'
ton should be given after planting
but before the seed have sprouted' A
section harrow or weeder should be
run diagonally across the rows just
before the plants are up. If the LAND
10 stumpy or otherwise rough, a W.
harrow with the front tooth removed
may be run along the row instead OF
using the section harrow or weeder'
The harrow or weeder should be used
again in the same way as mentioned
above Just after the plants are up and
green.
A few days after the second nor
rowing the rows should be cultivated
with the side harrow attachment OF
two-horse cultivator, spring tooth
harrow, or with a small sweep or 9TH
or small plow on an ordinary stock.
A fender Is desirable with either OF
the above implements. The object OF
these early operations is to conserve
moisture and kill grass and weeds be-
fore the cotton is thinned and thus
avoid expensive hoeing.
As soon as the grass, covered In
the above operation has died the cot
ton should be thinned to stand, con-
sisting Of IL to IS thousand plants
per acre. One plant every 10 to IA
iches or two plants every IS to 25
inches in the drill is about right I'm
less the plants are on the ground a
crop cannot be produced. Leave a
stand!
For best results too much space u
given to cotton plants. This Is es-
pecially true on thin land. Crowding
the plants, within reasonable limits,
results in an earlier and, in most
cases, larger crop. The more fer
tile the soil the more rapid tho
growth, the larger the plants, themore
space economically occupied by each
plant, and therefore, the fewer plants
required per acre. On soil which pro-
duces 1900 pounds Of seed cotton per
acre in the absence Of the boil weevil
$4,000 plants per acre are necessary
for best results.
Yields tend to increase as the space
given each plant approaches square,
but extremes are to be avoided. 1t Is
not economical to have the rows toe
narrow. On fertile land which Is
hard to cultivate because of weeds
and grass the rows may economically
be four feet wide land In extreme
cases 1.2 feet but as the fertility
decreases the width OF the rows
should also be decreased, The plants
produced by the poorer soil will be
smaller and more plants per acre will
be required to produce maximum
yields Soils which require rows mar
rover than three feet for profitable
yields Of cotton should be fertilizet
or planted to leguminous crops

SOME FLOWERS
DRIVE OUT FLIES

Now a physician has recently dis
covered a new and very pleasant sor,
Of ny swatter!
The new discovery is-howers,
No; one Is not actually supposed
to go about hitting at flies with flesh
bouquets. but the idea is that Ger
tain flower odors are very displeas-
ing to flies and they will not rem il
in the same room where such flowers
are placed
The monthly pamphlet issued by
the Michigan State Board of Health
for May contains a statement by DR..
w. H. Smith, of St. Clair, Mich, to
the effect that the flower enem es of
flies are especially mignonette and
white clover blossoms.
Either of these flowers set in vases
about room will drive out flies.
They must be kept fresh and changed
every other day. Peppermint and
spearmint are also unpopular perfumes
with both flies and ants, and IL bruis-
ed and laid about on tables and
shelves will drive the pests to other
quarters.
Still another authority recommends
that oil of lavender flowers be used
as spray on the curtains and car
pets of rooms where flies are too
numerous.

AMERICA MAKES
OWN OPTICAL
GLASSES NOW

Makers Of optical glass in this
country are said to have reached
the stage where they are able 10
produce lenses~i in sufficient auanti-
ties TO supply the entire needs of

Before the war this class Of glass
was virtually all imported. about 50
per cent of IL coming from Germany
and the other half from England.

Tag plant in the world is located
Deliveries from the American
plants are said to be greatly i'm
proved. with manufacturer now
open to accept orders for any amount
OF glass.
While IL is possible 20 obtain
lenses promptly. opticians are held
back in their production because Of
the shortage Of skilled labor needed
in grinding the glass. They expect
that this condition will rapidly iIa-
prove Some manufs cturers are
said also TO be far behind on de-
liveries of frames for spectscles and
eyeglasses
Americans are more careful IN the
treatment OF their eyes than any
other class OF people. according 20
local opticians. who declare that a
large percentage OF the populat %
OF the United States are bespec-
tacled. This. they say. is not be-
cause their eyes are weaker than
those Of any other people. but is
due simply TO the fact that many
persons here wear glasses as
