Cotton Seed. 
DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING AND CULTIVATING COTTON. 
Thoroughly break and 
prepare your land early, 
having the rows 3% to 
4 feet wide, and hill 12 
to 14 inches apart in 
drill. When the cotton 
comes up it should be 
off-barred deep while it 
is small, in order ito let 
the heat of the sur 
strike through the beds. 
As it gets larger shallow 
down, and towards the 
last cultivate very shal- 
low. Always Keep the 
top crust of the ground 
broken in ~ dry weather 
as it prevents it from 
losing its forms. 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 most suc- 
cessful time we have 
ever had in planting for 
a big yield was on the 
5th and 6th days of 
April; in fact, the first 
week in April is the best 
time for planting cotton 
for good results. One 
bushel of cotton seed is 
required to plant an 
acre. 
All of our Cotton Seed 
is grown in Georgia, and 
is free from Boll Weevil.

eties which have been
