Spacing Cotton

Right now when practically every
farmer in the county has cotton to
chop, we feel that the information fol
lowing will be of some help at least.
The Mississippi Delta Experiment
Station got the following data on
spacing cotton. and the Arkansas Sta
tiOn practically verified these figures
Plants left 2S inches apart produced
800 pounds of seed cotton per acre.
Plants left "a inches apart produced
1850 pounds seed cotton per acre.
Plants left 20 inches apart produced
HOO pounds seed cotton per acre.
Plants left 10 inches apart produced
116O pounds seed cotton per acre.
Plants left ~ inches apart produced
1920 pounds seed cotton per acre.
Plants left inches apart produced
1880 pounds seed cotton per acre.
These figures were obtained at the
MississippiDelta Experiment Station
and should apply with more or less
degree of accuracy to the entire delta.
Take them for what they are worth.

Night? In an ancient time
a Waterman was stationed
at night on the walls Of the city
and he was supposed to guard
all the inhabitants thereof from
harm. At certain hours the NOV
ing sentinel or guardian within
would call out, "Watchman, What
of the Night?''
Now, figuratively speaking, the
guardian within is your consci-
ence, and the Waterman is your
intelligence, the supposed senti-
mel and defender of your vel
being. Then let the question re-
verberate-What of the night?
Let us make the question lit
eral, my young friend. Tell me
how well you are guarding your
character at night and 1 will
sketch your fate far into the fu-
ture.
What Of the night? Success
begins after the ''men" have been
dismissed. The hour Of fate is
sometimes later than p. m.
You may be a ''fine locker"
you may have plenty of money to
spend; your clothes and dinners
may be faultless-but if you are
burning up the night in riotous
dissipation you are a failure thus
far.
Tonight I have seen 1900
youths in night school, plying
themselves with great earnest
hess. Nearly every one of them
is working his eight hours per
day or more at some honest job,
is attending the classes three
nights per week, and is studying
two or three other evenings.
But, what of your night? Let
the guardian within, your con-
science, ask the question. Secret
ly, you know the answer now.
If the charge as above 1nolcateo
is true, you know that you stand
both accused and condemned.
This is not suggesting that you
become drudge, that you cut off
all social affairs and wholesome
amusements. But it is suggesting
that you cut out all footing and
that you use the daily period 5
D. m. to bedtime in a manner
that will add to your strength Of
character ana your capacity for
engaging in some kind of pro-
ductiye eIlfrprise in the ature.
