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 344 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 _ towar 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.
