Cotton is a warm weather plant, it will not make a healthy growth until the soil i& reasonably warm and danger of frost is past. Then it is well to plant in a well prepared seed b-ult seed which have been deliht ed with sulphuric acid. This should give prompt and uniform germina tion and should allow cotton to get started before the weeds come. Cot ton which is planted t<> 0 early while the soil Ls yet cold will not make a quick growth, and the woods will have an opporunitynity to begin growth at the same time the cotton does, thus making .the crop more dif ficult to cultivate and frequently re sulting in a poorer stand. “In order .for cotton to make a good start the seed should not be planteyl in direct' contact with heavy appli cations of 1 commercial ;fert .Sizer. Where heavy applications of commer cial fertilizer are made, some kind of shovel plow should be run through the lurrow ahead of the cotton plant er to mix the fertilizer thoroughly with the soil before planting. If the eotton is. planted in direct contact with the fertilizer, there may he no injury if heavy rains follow the plant, ing and prevent the concentration of the* soil solution. But if dry woollier follows-the planting, the soil solu tion becomes very concentrated am (be young roots of Hie pumt are kill ed. This may result in a'poor stand of cotton by killing off many of the young plniitp, of it may result in a stunted srop by delaying the early growth of tin* plants. Tills has not been such an important matter in the past.; as there has usually been a long glowing season and the cotton has had plenty of time to mature. Under boll weevil conditions.- however, it is a matter of prime importance, as curliness is very essential to success in beating the boll weevil, careful at tentlon to this point may-prevent seri ous loss.-" - . . Ij.il Value of Oeiinting Seed •'Another factor in planting under boll weevil conditions which deserves careful consideration at this time is the spacing of plants at time of plant ing. By planting delinted sued it is Impossible to drop the sod at almost any interval desired, and by planting several seed in each hill a good sta id may be secured. This makes it profit able to cultivate cotton with a spike tooth barrow or a row harrow at an early date and to feep the weevil down an dthereby save much labor •and expense in chopping. "Farmers have frequently been ad vised to space their cotton far apart in order that the sunlight may get in between the plants, and kill the weevils in the squares which fall to the ground early in the season. This method is reasonably successful in the western part of the cotton belt, where there are many long periods of dry, hot weather during the early summer months. But it is not suc cessful in' South -Carolina because <, there are no long periods of dry, hot weqther. There have been many ex periments to determine the best span ing of cotton plants, but (hero are so •many factors entering into the con sideration that it is impossible to get a definite spacing -which would he bqst for all the farms. "Each farmer needs to study his own conditions and use the spacing which gives best results on his land. The fertility of the soil, the amount of rainfall, the kind of cotton planted and the a mo a fit of fertilizer used arc all factors which should be consider ed in spacing cotton. As a general rule, experiments have shown larger yields from the rela'tjyely close spac ing. At tin* Pee Dee Experiment gta lion, best results have been • gotten by planting in 4-foot rows. with, plaqts not more than ten to twelve inches apart in tii.e row. This on a com paratively fertile soil, yielding about one-uud one-half bales per acre as an average. Cultivation "Tlie primary object of cultivation is to desfToy weeds and grass. The cultivation of cotton under boll wee vil conditions should begin early and should Ire thorough. Weeds and grass should never be allowed o! get a start in the crop, since by so doing they stunt the crop and delay its ma turity. This delay may be fatal. Tim best implement to use in the euln ration of cotton is the one which will destroy weeds and grass most effec tively without injuring the roots of the cotton plants. .Inst what imple ment that js will depend on the soil type and the kind of weeds present. As a general rule, shallow culfiva- tion is to be preferred jf it effectively destroys weeds and glass.” BE KIND TO ANIMALS given them. Dr. E. C. L. Adams ten dered the visitors a reception at his j his home in the afternoon. Mr. De Valera and Dr. Irwin spoke od the cause of Irish freedom at the KnighLs of Columbus Hall here at and ending April ]8. 1920, as ‘Be Kind n'ght to an overflowing and upprecia-‘ to Animals Week’ in South Carolina, vtive audience.
