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 314 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.
