Since the boll weevil’s unwanted apnearance in South Carolina cotton fields, growers know that those who get the most squares set before heavy infestation stand the best chance of most efficient i production, says County Agent D. 11 Austin Shelley. I Investigations by the U. S. De partment of Agriculture, the South Carolina Experiment Sta tion, and other cotton states sta tions, show that cotton fruits just as ranidly when plants are small, regardless of whether they are close or far apart in the row. Thus, a thick stand in the row- two to three plants in hills about 6 to 8 inches apart—leaves more plants to put on cotton squares ahead of the boll weevil. Dr. H. W. Barre, in charge of cotton investigations for the U. S. Department of Agriculture, re ports one case where plants placed six inches apart produced about ive times as many early squares Der acre as plants spaced 24 nches apart. Even when a dry July caused many of the early squares to drop, the yields from the closely spaced plants was greater because squares that did remain were ahead of the weevil. For this reason, says Mr. Shel- i ley, keeping a good stand is sec ond only to getting a good stand, i Some growers allow their cotton to be thinned too much because of careless chopping or because their choppers use wide hoes. Nothing larger than a 6-inch hoe should be used. -txt- Chevrolet- April Sales Detroit.
