163 BALES OF COTTON ON 150 ACRES POOR LAN1 Mr. Hudson Gives His Experionce < Using the "Williamson Corn I Method" for Cotton Planting, f It has been the ambition of ever farmer in the south to make at lea: one bale of cotton to the acre. Ver few of them have ever tried to inak more t' ?n one bale to th?? acre. J can be done. And from recent e: peiiments it looks as though the tim *' ' for distant wh-.. flie ijo ''Williamson Plan" will be used b every farmer in the south. In writin of his experiments, Mr. 15. M. Iludso of Camden says: 'As the 'Williamson corn inethoc has been .such a blessing to Soul Carolina and as I have been accuse of withholding what information liave had mi the subject for 'selfis )n .'ivi'.-.' I want to sa\ to the fai mors of South Carolina that the Wi liamson Method is just as noeessai for cotton as for corn. "On the average lands of Sout ^ Carolina it is impossible to make full cr?:.|? of cotton if you have a early spring- crop, and this I say a tor years of experience. I have n< ticed this year my own crop and sei oral others and find that the best co ton today was the poorest the first c July, and the best cotton we had i this country in June is the poore. now compared to what it should hi "While this may be doubted b l some. T can prove mv assertions b L some of the leading men of the com tv. The method is simple and. iu like the Williamson method of con - will annly to a large amount to fei tilizer, a small amount or none at al | "Plant the first week in Apri T plant and cultivate flat; your cro ?will grow slowly in the spring, hi will grow in July and Augusta, who I your neighbor has failed. Yours wi fruit close and make at least a thir I more tha,n cotton planted on a be and worked to get a quick growth i June. " flu- hesI crop in this section toda was considered a failure the first c July. This is the method by wliic I made 103 bales of cotton on If) acres and will do as well or bettg this year. "I write not for notoriety, but Ilia I may be of some benefit to my felloi \ farmers. ? "If I was not con v'reed beyond reasonable doubt I would never i>iv my experience to the public." At 12 cents a pound 1(53 bales avci aging 4o0 pounds would be $3,802.0 for the ginned cotton. Think what biu' thing that would mean for th south! If this "improved method" o planting cotton is successfully trie and promoted by the majority o fanners in South Carolina next yea there will be such an increase i I yield, and consequent ly in money val . lie. that it is almost beyond fiyures. i. And the fleecy cotton is not all t be considered. Think, of I lie increa.* cd yield of cotton seed. Willi Hi growing demand for cotton seed i will not lie many years now befor ' many cotton planters will be try in to increase the yield of their cotto seed. Along this line a prominen cotton seed expert, who was address ing a crowd at the Jamestown Kxpc sition recently, said: R" "Last summer I had the pleasur of introducing mv friend. Professo Dolbear, who is. perhaps, our greates t living scientist, to one of my friends a cottonseed oil official, who is pre , destined to become our leading ma ' of ,?il. In a semi-serious way Profes sor Dolbear referred to seedles \ fruits and suggested the creation o seedless cotton. 'Professor,' the oi man ejaculated, 'you had better mak a eottonlessseed, for that 's where th J money is.' " So many new experiments hav been made with the use of Cotto , Seed Meal, Oil cake, ets., (hat it is al \ most impossible to keep up with I her all. Following is of interest 'o thos I who raise tine hogi>: Dallas, Texas, Oct. 27.?-A bulletii of the Texas Agricultural Kxperiinen Station, says: lo those wishing to use collonsce meal for hogs now, we recommend I. For animals'on heavy feed, Ilia ! not. more than one-four the weight o the grain ration of cotton-seed meal, t 2. fhat this feeding continue no i more than fifty days, or that the pro I portion of meal be reduced if feediii] 8: is to lie continued longer. ft 3.
