CASTOB-OII. BEAN. — (Ricinus Com- 

 munis). — The plant prefers a rich, well 

 drained, sandy or clay loam and will not 

 do so well on either a stiff clay or a light 

 sand. The seeds are planted in rows four 

 to live feet apart each way, or else in 

 rows about four feet apart and only 

 eighteen inches apart in the row. Castor 

 Beans are not milled or shelled. When 

 beans commence to ripen the grower has 

 to go through them every other day and 



cut out spikes that are ripe, these are 

 then placed on the dry floor out in the 

 sun so the sun rays will pop the beans 

 out of the hulls. The hulls are removed 

 in the fanning mill from the tTeans. Price, 

 60c. per lb., postpaid.

Cotton Seed. 



DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING AND CULTIVATING COTTON. 



Thoroughly break and 

 prepare your land early, 

 having the rows ZV2 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 to let 

 the heat of the sun 

 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. Ihe most suc- 

 cessful time we have 

 ever had in planting for 

 a big vield 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. 

 These are all good var- 

 ieties which have been 

 thoroughly tested and 

 recommended by Agri- 

 cultural Colleges and 

 Experiment Stations of 

 the Southern States.
