To irrow cott h ^ - - I success sfuly in the presence of the j boll weevil more attention must be j given to time and methods of plant-j ings, spacing-, cultivating, etc., says Prof. C. I\ Black well, agronomist, who warns against the danger of planting too . early, suggests delinting the seed from prompt and uniform germination, and advices relatively close spacing and rapid shallow cultivation. Time of Planting. The time of planting which gave best results in the previous years will give best results under boll conditions. The best time for plant-j ing varies according to the season. | Cotton is a warm weather plant. It' will not make a healthy growth until the soil is reasonably warm an i j danger of frost is past. So it isj generally best not to p'ant until the j soil is warm. Then it is well to plant in a well prepared seed bed seed which has been delinted with sulphuric acid. This should give prompt and uniform germination and \ should allow the cotton to get start-! cd before the weeds come. C tton which is planted too early, while the J soil is yet cold, will not make a quick growth, and the weeds will have an opportunity to begin growth 5?t. ihn siimn t i m r> flin ilir i? thus making" the crop more difficult to cultivate and frequently resulting in a poorer stand. Cover Up ^Fertilizer. In order for cotton to make a * row! start the seed should not be planted in direct C( ntact with heavy ' applications of commercial fertilizer. ' Where heavy applications of commercial fertilizer are made, some kind of shovel plow should be run 1 I through the furrow ahead of the j cotton planter to mix the fertilizer thoroughly with the soil bofo:e plant j ing. If the cotton is plaide 1 in cli- * rcot contact with the fertilizer, 1 there may be no injury if heavy rains follow the planting and pre- ' vent the concentration of the soil solution. But if dry weat' or follows j the planting, the soil solution be- j comes very concentrated and the, young roots of the plant are killed, j This may result in a p: or stand of | cotton by killing off many of the; young plants, or it may re. ult in a ! stunted crop by delaying the early I growth of the plants. Thi - has n >t! boon such an important matter in the past, as there has usually hoen a long growing- season and the c t ton has had plenty' of time to mature. Under boll weevil conditions, however, it is a mater of prime importance, as carliness is very ess- ntial to success in beating the b 11 weevil.

This makes it profitable to cultivate cotton with a spike tooth harrow at an eaily date and to keep the weeds dewn and thereby save much labor and expense in chopping. Spacing of Plants. Farmers have frequently been advised to space their cotton far apart in order that the sunlight may get in between the plants and kill the we?vils in the squares which fail to the ground early in the season. This method is reasonably successful in the western part of the cotton bolt, where there are many long periods of dry hot weather during the early summer months. It is not successful in South Carolina, because there are no long periods of dry hot weather. There have been many experiments to determine the best spacing of cotton plants, but there are so many factors enteiing into the consideration that it is impossible to set a definite spacing which would be best for all the farms. Each farmer needs to study his own conditions and use the spacing which gives best results on his land. The fertility of the soil, the amount of rainfall, the kind of cotton planted, and the amount of fertilizer used are all factors which should be considered in spacing cotton. As a general rule, experiments have shown large yields from the relative ly close spacing. At the Pee Dee ex periment station best results have been gotten by planting in four foot rows with plants not more than ten to 12 inches apart in the row. Tins on a comparatively fertile soil, yield ing about one and one-half bales per acre as an average. Cultivation of Crop. The primary object of cultivation is to destroy weeds and grass. The cultivation of cotton under boll weevil conditions should begin early and should be through. Weeds and grass should never be allowed to get a start in the crop, since by so doing they stunt the crop, .and delay its mautrity. This deir.y may be fatal, rhe best implement to use in the cultivation of cotton is the one which will destroy weeds and grass most effectively without injuring the roots of the cotton plants. Just what implement that is will depend on the soil type and the kind of weeds pres ent. As a general rule, shallow cultivation is to be preferred if it effectively destroys "weeds and gras>.

Jaspar, minister of economic affairs. He estimates that the nation's industrial output has now attained perhaps 70 per cent of its pre-war record and that its mines are producing as much coal as in the year before the war. "Amount 70 per cent of our material which was taken out by Germans has been returned to us," add3d M. Jaspar. "The money taken by the Germans from the Belgium treas ( jry has been returned, but Belgium has thus far received no indemnity from Germany. At the beginning of the armistice 800,000 of our people vere without work. Our recovery has been made in spite of the fact that more than one-half of the Belgians who had to flee before the Germans arc still in France, unable to return because they have no homes here." Belgian villages destroyed in the war are being rebuilt, said M. Jaspar. In the district of Ypres eighteen villages have been restored to such an extent that local administration has been resumed. "If the t United States would do for Belgium 1 what she has just done for Poland? 1 establish a credit for her?most of $ our problems would be solved," de I clared the minister of economics. < NAVAL RESERVE" ~ | ON PEACE BASIS; < It is the re ire of the Bureau of 1 Navigation that the members of the Naval Reserve force on inactive * duty bo organised cn a peace basis 1 as quickly as possible.
