(From The Slate) ‘ Many lanmers, bankers and bosi-^ ness men in South Carolina do not be lieve that cotton production uader present conditions can be made ’profit able. Some are advising the Abandon-' *ment of cotton altogether. Overwhelm- jing evidence has been presented by I the five acre cotton contestants and of jby a few other progressive farmers during the past three years that cot- jton can be pmduced prontably even under the adverse conditions which have recently prevailed. To produce cotton profitably, however, a very dis tinct program must be followed. The old methods will not bring success ex- cij>t occasionally and tlfe new definite ly proved methods wiM produce better Jesuits than the oW every year. It is vital to the success of agricul- '.ure that the methods which have proved successful and by the use of \<:hich average yields of better than one bale per acre have been made by •nany in South Carolina for the past \ Ihree years, shall be given the widest possible publicity.

If 200 pounds or more of nitrate is used it should be divided into three or four applications. The writer prefers ni trate of soda for side applications be cause of its immediate availability and alkaline reaction. On land requiring more than the initial application of potash 100 to 200 pounds of kainit or its equivalent in manure salt or muri ate should be mixed and applied with the ammonia. Seed Pure bred seed of a variety of prov ed adaptability to present conditions should be planted. Ample seed to se- ciire a very thick stand should be put down. A great many of the seed pro- ducedin the state this year are of very low germination and it is absolutely necessary to know the percentage of walking down the rowiu. tipping the plants over with the mop and apply ing tire mixture on the under sides ot the leaves.

It should be applied at least one more, five to seven days later and,vif the emergence of the weevils continues in any quantity, a third and sometimes a fourth application should ^ be made. If the eaiiy poisoning is done properly and at the proper time prac tically no punctured squares will be noticed before late July or early Aug ust, at which time dusting by the reg ular method may be begun if neces sary. In some of our oum fields last year we had, practically no punctured squares until general migration began the middle of August and no dusting was necessary in these fields. Serious infestations of plant lice sometimes follow several applications of calcium arsenate in dust form, but the molasses mixture has never been known to make Lee plentiful. If plant lice appear in serious niynbers after dusting it will be necessary to dust i < * with nicotine sulphate.

Weevil Control Nothing has curtailed the crop of The COST is less is absolutely necessary to prevent the', South Carolina so much as the idea ; that a majority of our farmers have ! had that they could afford not to fight the boll weevil.

In every one bf the Other five years, however, weevil control paid enormous dividends, properly i poisoned crops frequently making two I or three times as much as unpoisoned I crops, I do not know of a single farm- I ei in middle or lower South Carolina I who has made fadr to good crops dur- ' ing .the past eight years who has not •intelligently poisoned the weevil.
