Clemson College, April 12.-A great many farmers are asking about the time of planting cotton under boll weevil conditions. The answer to this quastion, says Prof., C. P. Black. well of the agronomy division, is that the time of planting which gave best results In the previous years will give best results under boll weevil conditions. The best time for plant. 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 and dan. ger of frost is past. So It is general. ly best not to plant until the soil is warm. Then it is well to plant in a well propared seed bed seed which has been delinted with sulphuric neid. This should give prompt and uniform germination and should al low the cotton to get started before the weeds come. Cotton which is planted too early while the soil is yet cold will not make a quick growth, and the weeds will have an opportun ity to begin growth at the same time the cotton does, thus making the crop more difficult to cultivato and frequently resulting in a poorer stand. Methods of Planting In order for cotton to make a good start the seed should not be planted in direct contact with heavy applica tions of commercial fertilizer. Where heavy applications of commercial fer tilizer are made. soeni kind of shovel plow should he run through the fur row ahead of the cotton planter to mix the fertilizor thoroughly with the soil before planting. If the cotton IF planted in. (irect contact with the fertilizer, there may be no injury if heavy rains follow the planting and prevent the concentration of the soil solition. But if dry weather follows the planting, the soil solution he comes very concentratedi and the young roots of the plant are killed. This may result in a poor sta nd of cotton hy killing off many of the young plants, or it may result in a stunted crop by delaying the early growth of the plants. This has not been such an important matter in the past, a! there has usually been a long growing season and the cotton has had plenty of time to mature. Undor holl woevil conditions,. how ever, it is a matter of priie import ance, as earliness is very essential to success in heating the holl woovil. Cafeful atention to this point may prevent serious loss. Another factor in planting under holl weevil conditions which de serves careful consideration at thIs tinie is the spacing of plants at time of planting. By planting delinted seed It is possible to drop the seed at almost any interval desired, and by planting several seed in each hill a good stand may be secured. This makes it profitable to culti vate cotton with a spike-tooth har row or a row harrow at an early (late and to keep the weedls downW and ther& y sav'e much labor and expense in chopping. Spacing~ V'arnmera have fr'equently' heen ad visadl to sp.ee their eotiton tar a pairt in order that the ;unlicht may get in hrtIwaen the plan ts and kill the w(' evils in the squares which fall to the grouind early' in thle season. Tis method Is reasonably s:'essfuh in the w'atrcrn part of the Cotton Pelt. whecr.' there are mainy long periods of dry hot weather dur!nmr the early' sum merci mont hs. flut it is not sue cessful in South Ca r alina hle:ma there are no long periods of dry hot weather. There have beon many ex perimnents to dletermnino the best spac tng of ccotton plants. but there are so many factorq entering Into the con siderat ion that it is impossible to set a dlefinite spacing whichI would be bent for all farnia. Each farmer needs to study his own condit ions and use the spacing which gives best results on his land. The fer't ility' of the soil. the amount of rain Call the kind of cotton phi nted, and the amount of fertilizer usend are all factors which should 'he consider e! in spacing cotton. As a general rule, experiments have shown larger yields from the relntively close spac ing. At the Pee Dcc Experlmant Station best results have been gotten by planting in 4-foot rows with plants not more than ten to twelve inehes apart in the row. This on a comtera tively fertile soil, yielding about one and one-half bales per acre as an average. Cultivation The primary objenct of cultivation is to destroy woods and grass. The cultivation of cotton under boll-we evil conditions should begin early and should be thorough. Weeds and grass should never lhe allowed to get a start in the crop, since byr so doing they stunt the crop, and delay its maturity. The delav may be fa tal. The best implenment to use in the cult ivuation of cotton is the one which will diestroy weeds and graso me-st effectively without iniuring the roots of the cotton pleants. Juot wvhat implenment that i- will dernend on the soi type and the kind of weeds present As a gseral rule. shallow cultIvation Is to '-o preferred If it FAMOUS OLD ENGLISH "PUBS" Houses of Entertainment That Have Been Popular In the Little Isle for Centuries. If the prohibitionists get their way, wnd close all the pubs In town and country, some long histories will reach a sudden close, remarks a writer In London Answers. It is a toss-up whIch is the oldest public house in England. The Trip to Jerusalem, at Nottingham, claims to be. It has perhaps survived, because It is hewn out of the rock be low the castle. If a name Is any guide. it apparently commemorates the Cru sades, and Richard the Lion Heart is said to have drank ale there in 1189. That seems old enough for anything. Still, there is Tho Fighting Cocks, at St. Albans, which can assuredly point back to 1250. Prior to that, it was the AMonk's FIshing House. It is octagonal in shape, and its ceilings are not six feet high. Altogether a notable old pub. Nobody ought to go to Gloucester without seeing the Cathedral first and the New Inn second. Tho New Inn to one of the oldest inns in the country, and one of the 'most picturesque and best preserved. The Seven Stars, at innehester, i another old place, and so Is the Rose and Crown at Iainbridge, in Wensley dale. Probably this was the first Rose und Crown, which refers to the Tudor Rose, and it has been very extensively copied, for In the neighborhood of Lon don alone, there must be a dozen of that name. BOBBY'S MEMORY ALSO GOOD In the Matter of Quoting Proverbs Small Boy May Be Said to Have Scored on Uncle. Old Uncle Arthur was visiting his niece in the city. And he was much given to tie repeniint g ofprovera, especially to small Bobby on his com mitting any misdemeanor. Now Uncle Arthur himself was not free of vices and Blobby Certainly hoped that some day something would give a chance to retort at his great uncle. Finally his Chance came. The family was at the dinner table when B obby a rrived home fron school. Being very hungry he rushed straight to the table. The first thing Uncle Ar thur did was to give him a long, searching look, which showed him the (irty little hands Bobby had neglected to wash. "lobby," he began imapres sively, "I see you've forgotten that. old proverb which says: 'Cleanliness in next to godiliess.,' The family looked embarrassed. But not Uncle Arthur. Ie felt that he had done his duty til lie majestically lift ed his cup of coffee and took a long, loud gulp of that beverage. That gulp brought Bobby his chance. "Yes, I had forgotten that one, Uncle Arthur," ho said sweetly, "but I remembered the one that said 'Drink slowly and dis tinctly.'" Even Uncle Arthur was too much surprised to tell llob that lie had made a slight mistake in the uotation. But they all did think it mighty fitting. Need for Figures.
