Steckler’s Cotton Sead 
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 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 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.
