STECKLER'S COTTON SEED 



Selected Varieties 



Planting time, March and April. One bushel is required to plant one acre. Thor- 

 oughly break and prepare the ground early. Rows should be 3 % 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, shallow 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.

 ties which have been thoroughly tested and recommended by Agricultural Colleges and 

 Experiment Stations of the Southern States.
