V-O Iii<ih Analysis Best Demonstrations of high-analysis fertilizers under cotton will he conducted by tho National Fertilizer Association at "many points in tho southoust this spring.

Myers. Thick Cotton Pays Close-spaced cotton will fruit earlier and produce larger yields than thinly spaced cotton, announces, P. H. Kline, plant breeder for the State College experiment station at Jtalolgh, N. 0. Mr. Klme suys the station's tests have proved tlds conclusively. According to tho tests, better yields are obtained when the hills are spaced H to lli Inches apart In the row, with t wo or t lireo plants to t lie hill.- Ail eurllor crop rusulis when dfKtu the cotton ts left thick, Mr. Kltno declares, because a turgor number of blooms are produced during the llrst few weeks of the blooming period, This Is est>eclaliy Important under boll weevil condh tons, for the weevil gets most of the bolls formed after August 15 and sometimes after August 1. Leaving the cotton thick in the row prevents the excessive vcKctutlvu growth that usually results In late fruiting and heavy weevil damage. Chop your cotton as oarly as possible, Mr, Kline advises. This gives the plants more room, loosens the t soil around them, gives them an . earlier growing start, block the f cotton out a hoe's width. ', S : V-O?
