Cotton growers of Laurens county are advised not to thin their cotton too early. S. A. Wil liams, Clemson extension cotton ginning specialist, cautions that poor stands may result if cotton is thinned before the danger of seedling losses is over. He says that reports indicate that good stands of cotton are be ing obtained in most parts of the state and that in some areas thin- ing has already begun. He points out that until they are 6 to 8 inches tall cotton seedlings are subject to many diseases and to insect damage which might easily kill some or many of the plants and cause poor stands. The present cool weather may al so affect the small tender cotton plants causing the weaker ones to die and making all of them more suscpetible to disease and insect injury.
