COTTON 



SELECTED VARIETIES 



Planting time, March and April. One bushel 

 is required to plant one acre. Thoroughly 

 break and prepare the ground early. Rows 

 should be 31/2 to 4 feet apart and hills 12 to 

 14 inches apart in the row. When the cotton 

 comes up it should be off-barred deep while 

 it is small in order to let the heat of the sun 

 strike the beds. As the plants get larger, shal- 

 low down and towards the last, cultivate very 

 shallow. Always keep the top crust of the 

 ground broken in dry weather, as it prevents 

 it from losing its form. Never stop plowing for 

 wet weather until the ground turns in slices; 

 then quit immediately until it dries off. Never 

 lay by until the middle of August. The first 

 week in April has been found to be the best 

 time for planting cotton.
