Cotton Se^l. 



DIBECTIONS FOB FZiAZTTZNa AITS CULTZVATZNO 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 to let 

 the heat of the sun 

 strike through the beds. 

 As it gets larger shallow 

 down, and towards the 

 last cultivate verj^ 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.
