Copies of this ? ittular are being mailed to the t utire Experiment Sta tic mailing list, It n?u are on their o<iiilitiK list, you tU receive one.

If one desires to- plant lo*\g staple, we recommend Webber . HitJ K xpress, Delrnting Seed. We recommend that planting seed be delinted either hjj the delintinK machine* used in the ><\ mill*, or by the .sulphuric arid ??^thod. Fertilisers,? We recommend the ?ia? of from GOO to 800 pounds of a b(gh grade, well balanced fertilizer. In the Coastal Plain section a fertili rt*{ analyzing* to 10 per cent of pfeOftphoric acid, i? to. f> per cent, of _ .v .* ... nitrogen, and 2 to 4 p?r cent, of pot ash should be utKni. In the Piedmont hoc t ion, 10 to 12 per cent of phosphor* ic acid should bo used, 3 to 5 per cent, of nitrogen, and i to 3 per cent of, pot-ash. In Addition to the above, 50 to 100 pound* of nitrate of soda Or the equivalent of sulphate of am monia .should bo applied immediately after chopping. On the heavier type* of soil, or \vheit< part of the nitrogen is applied as u side application, the inorganic forms of nitrogen , such as nitrate of soda und sulphate of am monia, are just as good as the more expensive fofms and. may be used to supply all of the nitrogen needed. On light soils where it is is depired to' put out all or a Urge of tttp ni M l.( f(.ro planting. ou< '.hud of tUu .jiitiogen ahuuld be supplied from organic materials such an" cottonseed meal, liih scrap, blood oi tankage. Time of Planting. ?We recommend I the planting of all cotton in a com munity at approximately the same date, which should be after the soil is warm enough t? give rapid germi* | nation and rapid early growth. In I 1 023, April 20 planting did best at Floronco, and April 25 to May 1 ; planting did best at ClCmaon College, i Spacing.? \Vre recommend one to three stalks per hill, H to 12 inches apart in 3 to 3!4 foot rows on thin soil, and 3 to 4 foot rows on the more fertile soils. Poisoning. ? Where hibernated wee vils are abundant (20 or more weevils per acre) we recommend one appli cation of poison at the time the very first squares to be found in the field are an large a a a cowpea. If weevlb are atill present in the tWld, a second application may In* made a week later. For these drat applications either home-made molasses-calcium arsen ate mixture (1 lb calcium arsenate, 1 gal. ni61assea, to 1 gal. water) or dry calcium arsenate dust may be USed. After cotton begins to bloom, the calcium arsenate dusting method is the most reliable and profitable, and we recommend it in preference to any molasses mixture or other liquid poi sons. KJ- ' Dusting should begin when about ten per cent of the squares show wee vil, puncture and at leant, three appli cations of from I to ?> lbs. per aero ^huuld be Aiade. at intervals of 4 to 5 days. Thereafter, dust should be ap plied only as needed to keep infesta tion below 20 per cent until after e full crop of bolls has been set and these have Income well mown. Dusting Machines.? Of tne dusting machines used by us last year we re commend the following: Hand dusters:- ? Koot, Niagara, Feeny, and Dosch. Two-horse three-row machines: ? Niagara and Iron Age. Mule Hack Dusters, such as the root and Niagara may be used on rough land where a very gentle mule is available. None of the one-horse two-row dusters used proved entirely satisfac tory. The Morgan type, Ideal, and Ward-Love were the best used. There will probably be better dust ing machines available this season Miller Rhoads If you can't get what you want locally, try Miller & Rhoads Fioh several months past we have been telling1 you, through t he columns of this newspiijxT. about our store in Richmond.
