VOL XXIV. II Riii Bulletin Issued by Clemson T College Director. CULTIVATION OF CGTTQN. Prof llarpcr Give* Twenty-PI v? Reasons t>y Which the Acrcajr* of Cotton Can be Reduced and the Yield Increased Cotton is and will continue to be the most important crop grown in South Carolina. It brings more money into the State than all other crops combined. While the southern farmer has practically a mono poly on this, the most importaut crop of commerce on earth, the average farmer is producing it, however, at such a great cost his net profit is small. The world's demand for cotton is constantly increasing and to auch an extent it beoomes necessary for the southern farmer to make improvements in his methods in order to meet this increased demand without increasing the area devoted to cotton, It should be the endeavor of every intelligent farmer to encourage farmers of every class to diversify their crops ana raise more live stock, thus curtailing the acreage devoted to cotton. The increased demand for cotton should be met bv producing more pounds on a smaller area than is now devoted to that crop, thus reducing ihe cost of production by intensive cultivation. Every acre of well drained land in this State that is now planted to cotton can be made to yield twice its present averuge production. How to do this is the object of this short paper, which merely summarizes the the results of ex penments published in Bulletins Nos 145 and 148 of the South Carolina Experiment Station. This increased yield can be obtained as follows: (1) By earl> and deep plowing {'!) By conserving the toil moisture, by increasing the burnus con tent of the soil and by frequent and shallow cultivatiou. (14) By turning under winter cover crops, such as bur clover, crirn son clover, vetch and rye which are planted in the cotton he'd at the last cultivation. (4) 13/ planting cotton only on sod* well drained aud adapted to its cultivation. (5) By giving plenty of distance in the row and between the rows. (6) By u&iij# the weeder frequently du ir ^eariy growth. (7) By using largo amounts of acid phosphate before or at time of % planting. (8) 13y supplying stable manure either broadcast or in the drill before planting. (9) By using only small amounts of potash except in courses, saudy soils. (10) By applying 1000 pounds of lime per acre every four years to cotton lands (11) By growing some of the winter and summer legumes, thus ? - * ?. I. ? ??si storing more nitrugeu iu luu &uu. (12) By the use of large amounts of amonia applied in the form of f blood cotton seed meal, fish scrap, tankage and sulphate of amonia be fore or at the time of planting, and by later applications. (13) By using 25 to 50 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre applied before or at the time of planting. (14) By applying 109 or more pounds of nitrate of soda per acre at the time the first bloom appears. (15) By the liberal use of acid phosphate if the cotton is making a weedy growth and ' not fruitirg properly, (10) By the liberal use of amonia if the plants are slow of growth and f yellow in color. (17) By being careful never to pl)w the laud when too wet. (18) By breaking the crust after each rain, thus saving soil moisture and incidentally killing grass and weeds. (19) By planting only the best varieties of cotton, such as Columbia, Ilartsville, Cleveland Big Boll, I Tool's Prolific, Ninety Day, Triumph, Cook, Brooks's Improved, Blue ^ Ribbon, etc. (20) By avoiding anthracnose, or boll rot, by proper seed selection. (21) By planting those varieties that ara suitable to the type of sod on which they arc grown. (22) By planting wilt resistant varit ties. (23) By planting only big boll, easy picking, early maturing varie ties. (24) By planting early and reducing promptly to a stand, (25) By the proper rotation of crops which prevents soils from washing which increases the fertility of the soil which puts the soil in better physioial condition, better chemical condition, and better biological condition, which prevents over production, prevent insect depredations and plant diseases, such as ootton root rot, black knot, (Flic Dr D.
