Importance of Intelligent Effort .
in Producing Cotton This Year
By H. G. BoyJston.
The most important cash crop that
is produced in Barnwell County i-
cotton. In order t<j> produce cotton
successfully and profitably under boll
weevil conditions there are a number
of important points to remember, and
l call this matter tn the attention of
the farmers at this time because if we
are to produce cotton profitably it : s
absolutely necessary for us‘to thor
oughly appreciate those things whim
are necessary to be done.
They are as follows:
Thorough preparation, fairly early
planting' of a sufficient amount of
pure cotton seed (usinK Cleveland
Bitf Boll in all cases except where it
is necessary to'use Dixie Triumph to
control wilt). Fairly early planting
will he found to be from the 1st to
12th of April, depending on the par
ticular Spring. Intelligent use of fer
tilizers is very necessary, the most
profitable amount applied will bo
found to be from fiOO to 800 pounds of
a balanced fertilizer, and afterwards
making a side application of nitrate
of soda of 75 to 150 pounds, the prop
er time to apply being 1 about 10 da vs
after, chopping. Be sure to make the
strongest, effort to "secure a uniform
* V vf—<■ \
and as near perfect stand as possible,
because a full crop cannot bo made
without a go<Ml stand. We all appre
ciate the importance of frequent cul
tivation, and this means that cotton
should be plowed every week if pos
sible, from the beginning until it is
no longer of value.
Should there be any number of boll
weevils coming out early to amount
to anything arrangements must be
made just before the squares begin to
form to malie two applications of cal
cium arsenate poison. The light ap
plication of dust at that fitwo is more
efficient, but- where~ this 1 cannot be
properly applied with the labor that a

He was quite small for a soldier, his

him “Major.” Some few men wenjc

the James River, under cover of his

Drury's Bluff on the Richmond liner.
So the next morning we formed in
line and passed in front of Butler.’s
Army, only three miles off to our
right. We threw out a., strong line of
skirmishers, which we call “bankers,”
about two bundled yards from the
road towards the enemy. Skirmishers
