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, shallow down and towards the last, culti- 

 vate 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.
