DIRECTIONS POE PLANTING AND CULTIVATING COTTON. 



Thoroughly break and 

 prepare your land early, 

 having the rows $y 2 to 

 4 feet wide, and hill 12 

 to 14 inches apart in 

 drill. When the cotton 

 comes up plow it deep 

 while it is small, in or- 

 der to let the heat of 

 the sun strike through 

 the beds. As it gets larg- 

 er shallow down, and to- 

 wards the last plow very 

 shallow with wide 

 sweeps. Always keep 

 the top crust of the 

 ground broken in dry 

 weather, as it prevents 

 it from losing its forms, 

 but plow very shallow. 

 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 

 successful time we have 

 ever had in planting for 

 a big yield was on the 

 5th and 6th days of Ap- 

 ril; 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 

 of land. 



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 Ex- 

 periment. Stations of the 

 Southern States.

 Station at Stoneville, Miss., recommends it 

 above all others. It has been planted for

 of cotton, a strong 1 3-16 inch staple, al- 

 ways commanding a good liberal premium.

 jointed limbs, is a thrifty grower, ripens 

 quickly, stands drought, makes a good tap 

 root, makes a large boll, and is easily 

 picked, gets ahead of the boll weevil.
