CLOSE SPACING COTTON
GIVES HIGHEST YIELDS

Close spacing of cotton has given
better yields in extensive tests carried
out by the State College of Agriculture
and is recommended over wide spac-
ing. Other stations have reported
similar results, and the general adopt
ton of the plan is being urged.
While last season was dry and gem
orally regarded as unfavorable to thick
spacing, the State College of Agricul-
ture station reports that higher yields
were returned from this method. In
rows four feet apart. two stalks per
hill in all cases gave a higher yield
than one. The bolls were slightly small
err on the rows not thinned and on the
seven inch spacings, but careful meas
urements showed no appreciable diff1
erence in length of lint or per cent lint
on the different spacings,
Two plants per hill placed twelve in
ches apart gave the highest yield at
the State College station last year,
1924 pounds of seed cotton being gath
cred from an acre spaced in this man
ner. The first picking was highest
from this test also.
Two plants per hill fifteen inches
apart ranked next with slightly low
er yield than when placed twelve in
ches apart.
The lowest yield was obtained from
the area where the plants were placed
in a hill, eighteen inches apart.
On reasonably good land, two plants
per hill spaced twelve inches apart in
four foot rows is the recommendation
of the State College of Agriculture. On
poorer land slightly closer spacing is
suggested.

EMIT SOUTHERN FARM SYSTEM
GETS US NOWHERE

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)- time
for every Southern farmer who clings
to the all, or nearly all, cotton idea to
do a lot of straight thinking before
he pitches his 1925 crop. Most OF our
cotton farmers are trading dollars
and losing at that three years out OF
four" said H. G. Hastings, leading
agricultural authority and Chairman
of the Farm ana Marketing BureaN OF
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.
For the past two years Providence
has stepped in and saved us from tho
results of our own folly. In 1879 we
planted thirty nine million acres Of
cotton: in 1924 forty million acres
In each Of these years there was acre
age enough to have made, with even
fair season conditions, sixteen to eigh-
teen million bales and ten-cent price
or less with the inevitable farm smash
that such price would bring" Provi
dence cannot be depended on 1ndefl'
nitely to bring unfavorable seasons
and cut down yield per acre. we
stepped up a couple of million bales
in 1924, and, by so doing, the South
has lost about three hundred million
dollars that have come right out OF
the farm pocket
I'm spite of these danger signals
flying in every cotton state, plans
are being made everywhere to In
crease cotton acreage in 1925. This
can only be done at the expense
of cutting down food and grain acres
at a time when food and grain Is mgr
and going higher every week.

Across country direct from >TcKinley station, the dis tance to the property is estimated at ninety miles. This route is used by MT.

 MT. Quigley was relating to MT. Brosius the outcome of his last ship ment of high grade ore to the States, and the results are surprising.

''The people who will develop Alas ka are not those who expect to raise crops to sell for profit, but are those who will till the soil, and raise what their family requires. They are the kind of people who will make Alaska a success. It is a mistaken idea that settlers can come to Alaska locate on a homestead, and later cut it up into lots to sell, or that in few years they can become rich from the products of the soil" So stated c. G. Georgeson, Director of the U. s. Experimental farms in Alaska, position which has been held by him for 27 years, he be- ing appointed by Secretary James un- der the Mckinley administration. Sec retary James informed him at the time of his appointment that Alaska was a long way from Washington so there fore gave him liberal instructions to just produce results These orders Dr. Georgeson remarked to the Seward Gateway, have never been recalled.

 While in the Interior recently with the Seattle Shrine delegation, Cal. M.

Georgeson said, on account of events which followed the construction of the Alaska Railroad. Traffic fell oil to almost nothing in that region, with the completion of the railroad. During the many years of operations at the Rampant farm, some of the most val uable work, especially in the breeding of grains, were produced. The money which otherwise would have been spent at the Rampant station, will now be deflected to the other stations in the Territory, pr. Georgeson stated, and this money will probably go to the MatanuSka farm.

 An interesting development has talk en place with respect to the Rampant station, he continued. Governor C.. Parks sought information from him quite recently, if the station would be suitable for an aviation field. MT.
