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.
