value of good stand in cotton thick
in the row can not be estimated.
Some believe that close spacing
makes a smaller boil and the percent
age of lint lower. In bulletin just
issued from the South Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station exact evidence is
given of the effect Of thick spacing
upon the size of bolls and the percent
age of lint. In a spacing test at this
station in 1923 the number of bolls
per pound and the percentage Of lint
for different spacings were as shown
in the table below:
Pocahontas star herald., 1924-05-23
From the County Agent
Spacing Cotton

There is considerable discussion
among the farmers as to how thick in
the row to leave the cotton. 1t was
once the belief to space cotton wide
in the row would lessen the damage
from boil weevil, but this idea no long
ed prevails among the farmers who
have made a success of growing cotton.
1t is true that hot sunshine has an
effect ON the boil weevii and this was
the reason for leaving the stalks far
apart in the row. Late experiments,
however, have disproved this method
of spacing. Crowding cotton in the
row forces early maturity, early set
ting of bolls and causes more bolls to
open.
b. l.. Moss, well known southern
agriculturist, states that the South is
throwing away at least a million and
half bales of cotton every year. With
the same number of acres in cotton,
the same fertilizer and work, we could
make 100000 more bales than we are
now making, worth $15O,O0GOO0 at
present prices, simply by having a per-
feet stand-enough cotton on the
ground in other words
Nine farmers out of every ten are
spacing their cotton much too wide to
get the biggest possible yields. The
rows should be not over three feet
wide and from one to three stalks to
hill eight TO ten inches apart. II
matters not how rich or how poor the
land or how heavy the fertilization
this kind of spacing will increase the
yield. Contrary to the popular belief
the poorer the soil the thicker the cot.
ton should be left jn chopping. The

Use Plenty Of Planting Seed

Just at this time great nany farm
ers are having to plant their cotton
over. One reason for our rather gener-
al failure to get and keep good stand
is the use of insufficient planting seed
Theoretically, of course, in a half
bushel of seed there are enough for
plenty Of plants with some to spare I;
but this happens to he another case
where theory and practice does not
jibe very well. With the rows three
feet apart there are Of course more

rows per acre and six to eight pecks
Of planting seed is none too much II
a perfect stand is to be got and held.
Study the matter from financial
standpoint. A perfect stand Of cotton
can easily be worth $25 per acre more
than poor stand. If seed oats cost
$3.50 per bushel would IL not be wise
idea to spend $3.50 to $3.50 per ac.e
TO insure an increase Of $25 per acreg
Where plenty of seed are used we have
enough little plants close together to
break their way through heavy crust
and Withstand cool weather. Some
cotton always dies after coming up,
some is knocked out by the plows and
hoes and IL is well TO have enough to
allow for these losses and still have
plenty of plants. Insure yourself by
having "A ribbon of green on every row
from end TO end and your cotton crop
is about half made.
Cultivation
There can he no set rule for cotton
cultivation because soils and seasons
vary and what may fit one set OF con-
ditions would fail on another. The
big problem In cotton cultivation is to
keep down grass and weeds and the
methods of cultivation that best do
this with the least injury to the cot
ton roots, are the methods that should
be used.
For the average land and season.
the practise of fast and shallow culti-
walton will prove most satisfactory
For the first civilizations the use Of
the spike tooth harrow or side harrows
on the cultivator will be found excep-
tlonally good.
