82 loug ??tuple. For wilt infested grounds
he recommended Dixie Triumph and
Dixie.
Mr. Hk*H laid empbtisht on the impor
tance of getting cotton started early and
pushing it along to beat the weevil be
cause early cotton is the only hope for

that care should be exercised not to
plaut so early that the first planting will
fail to produce-a stand, because the sec
ond planting which would then be neces

damage much more. He also wurncd
