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 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.
