1- More Plant* Per Row
More Cotton Per Acre
Clomum^oUoe*. May 4.~"Two to
three plants every twelve inches,
?ay? Dr. T. 8. Kwie. chief agronomUt
here, in answer to the question ot
spacing cotton now being asked hy
? , many farmers, reaults of the cotton
contests having shown this to be a
most important question.
Close spacing within the drill not
only provides more plants in a
area, thus reducing the number each
must bear in order for a high yield
to be secured, but it promotes earlier
fruiting which is of great importance
In producing cotton under boll weevil
conditions, Dr. Huie explains.
In experiments which 1ihv? been
conducted at both Cleinson College
und Florence it has been found that,
without exception, those plots which
had plants spaced near together
produced more fruit by midseason
than where room was afforded foi
rank and excessive vegetative growth.
H is true thut plants which have
an abundance of room for full
growth make much better appearing
plants?more suitable for entering in
a prize competition, but the farmer
is more interested in securing high
yields than in pi educing prize winning
plants.

Clemson College, May 4. -Bight
hundred farmers in 40 South Carolina
counties received cash amounting
to $110,000 for approximately 426,000
pounds of poultry in 26 cooperative
carlot shipments during April,
according to figures from the office
of L. H. Lewis, Extension agent in
marketing, with headquarters at
Florence. In 23 counties, shipments
have been made twice during the
month, and in four counties, three
times during the month.
Total shipments for 1929 to May
1 are 92 cars totaling 1,810,000
pounds having a value of nearly half
a million dollars. Indications are
that there will ho fully 150 cars
shipped in 1929 as compared-with 134
cars ill 1928 and 100 cars in 1927.
The prices obtained by farmers so
far this year, Mr. Lewis states, have
fcj'en very good and should materially
increase poultry production in South
Quroli na. During the past 30 days
tjjjlo Naw York market has been in excellent
condition, with hens selling
34 to 35 cents per pound, which nets
farmers 27 to 28la cents per pound.
