Essentials in Making Cotton
In Spite of The Boil Weevil

nitrate of soda. The applications
recommended may appear somewhat
heavy, but on our average thin, sandy
and loan soils we have good evidence
that they are highly profitable.
2. Practice Fast, Shallow Cultiva-
tiOn.-The object of the heavy fertl-
lization above recommended, of
course, is to push the cotton SO that
it will make fair crop ahead OF the
weevil; but if it is to be pushed to
its utmost rapid, shallow cultivation
is scarcely less important than liber-
al fertilization. 1t is hard to lay
down any set rules for cultivating any
crop, because methods must be varied
to suit seasonal conditions. But the
aim should be to stir the soil early
and frequently, particularly early IN
the season, so as to kill all grass and
weeds before they get hold. Lat
er civilizations should be frequent
and shallow, and grass and weeds
should at all times be kept down. Or
dinaril ythe clean, we'll cultivated cot
ton field has a good chance to make
a crop despite the weevil.
3. Space Cotton ClOsely.-The old
advice to "space wide to let in the
sunlight" has been proved worse than
useless. Experiments all the way
from Texas to Georgia, on pretty
nearly every kind and grade of soil,
have proved that close spacing uni
formly gets the biggest yields. Cen
orally, rows three feet wide and the
cotton a hoes width in the drill will
be best. We doubt if under any con-
ditions rows should be wider than
three and one-half feet. This may
seem like close spacing, but we have
abundant evidence to prove that 1t
results in bigger yield Of cotton. Poor
stands of cotton are very largely re-
sponsible for our low yields per acre.
Let "three-foot rows and hoes width
in the drill" be the aim.
The three points named above we
consider of vital Importance in max
ing cotton despite the weevil, coming
far ahead of the matter of varieties,
picking weevils and squares, or pois-
oning. All these combined may not,
in year like 1919 has been, result in
a paying crop of cotton; but they will
come nearer to doing so than any
other methods, and in average years
they will result in profitable crops
in most sections of the cotton belt
