Early Fast-Growing Cotton Safer From Weevil Ravages This picture snows the advantugc of ft citig cotton as a means of getting ahead of the weevil. The plant in farmer's right h; id was taken from ro\>s side-dressed with Chilean nitrate, while one at left received no side-dressing. The contrast is also apparent in the rows where the men are standing. Realizing that the weevil !s here to slay, planters have developed meth ods to grow cotton In spite of him Improved seed, early planting, and a side-dressing ot quick-acting nitrogen havo made it possible to speed up the ] crop so that the bolls are set before I the weevil la able to do Its worst damage. A crop that grows off slowly is at the weevil's meiey, particularly in a season like this one when there is an abnormally heavy weevil infestation. A nitrate side-dressing is cheap and ef fective insurance Mils year.

Need for Side-Dressing Cotton Is Greater Than Ever Befor A remarkable contrast. The heavy rows in the rear were side-dressed with Chilean nitrate of soda. Thrifty, fast-growing plants like these will set a heavy crop before the weevil has a chance to do its worst damage. The light application of fertilizer under cotton makes side-dressing the most necessary thing to lie done this yew. The need for side-dressing cotton is probably greater than ever before. Last year's crop, which averaged 200 pounds of lint per acre, removed a tremendous amount of plant food from the soil, which means that the present . crop, with little or no fertilizer under it. started the reason under a serious handicap. K.vrything points ah? > to a heavy boll weevil infestation, as a result of the mild weather of last winter. Side-dressing with quick-acting ni trogen will supply the plant food the crop lacks and help it to get ahead of the weevil. The method most farm ers follow is to use 100 to 200 pounds of Chilean nitrate per acre as soon, as the crop is chopped. The young plants take up the nitrate as soon as it is applied, with the result that growth is speeded up and the crop is set before the weevil has reached Its most destructive stage.
