STECKLER'S COTTON SEED— 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 3^ to 4 feet apart 

 and hills 12 to 14 inches apart in the row. When the cotton comes up it 

 should be oflf-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 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.

 varieties which have been thoroughly tested and recommended by Agricultural Col- 

 leges and Experiment Stations of the Southern States.
