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 pre- 

 vents 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.
