Plate II 



Size and Fruiting of Cotton Plants in Successive Plantings at San 

 Antonio, Tex., on August 7. — II 



A, Planted May 5; B, planted May 12. (Compare with Plate I) 

 Note the larger size and production of vegetative branches on the plants in the May 12 

 planting, showing the need of closer spacing of plants in late-planted cotton. Also note the 

 presence of squares and flowers on these plants, produced under drought conditions, which 

 had checked growth in the early-planted cotton
