Intekcultukal Experiments with Fertilizers on Cotton. 



The object of tliis experiment was to ascertain whether it 

 would pay to apply nitrogenous fertilizers interculturally- 



Six rows 210 feet long by 3.^ feet wide, equal to 1-0 of an 

 acre, were used. Just before planting, the following mixture 

 of fertilizers Avas applied to each plot, at the rate of 200 

 pounds per acre : 200 pounds Acid Phosphate ; 66 pounds 

 Muriate Potash ; 66 pounds Sulphate Ammonia. 



As soon as the cotton was up, it was chopped and sided 

 with a heel scrape. About June 1st the stalks of cotton in 

 each row^ were counted, and then all rows but one thinned 

 to 90 stalks. The 5th row of plot 6 had only 76 stalks. The 

 several numbers of stalks in this row probably accounts for 

 the small yield of that plot. 



On June 22nd and July 7th the cotton seed meal and 

 nitrate soda were scattered broadcast and the cotton plowed 

 with a large heel scrape. All the plots were the same size 

 and color up to Jnly 7th and after that date the plots ferti- 

 lized interculturally became much larger and had better 

 color than the plots which were not fertilized after planting.
